BUYING FOR SMALL CHILDREN HOT EASY Poorly Selected Gifts Often Break Hearts of the Little Tots.

What shall we select for the little folk? In the wilderness of toys that the department stores provide for the children's Christmas, grown people who have not kept up an intimacy with children, are at a loss what to select for the youngsters on their hopping list. The toy that is appropriate for tfce six-year-old child will not do it all tor the child of three. Often a boy or girl's pleasure on Christmas is spoiled by gifts, selected by undiacriminating relatives, that they have long ago rejected as childish or by receiving something to intricate for their years. The baby on the list is first, and most easily disposed of. For the child of one or two years of age the Dimple Inexpensive things are all it can enjoy. A linen picture book, a rubber doll, canton flannel animals, "worsted or rubber balls, a string of epools, and wooden unpainted animals, make up almost the entire list of valuable gifts for his babyship. The little girl from two or three years of age will like a doll, a doll cradle or buggy, doll furniture, some toy kitchen utensils, or a box cl paints. The boy will like an express cart, a set of garden tools, or some building blocks. Both would like a pair of blunt scissors and some interesting picture books. From three to five years old, the same gifts, a little larger and more intricate In patterns will satisfy the needs of either boy or girl. In addition the girl will like some beads to string, or a set of dishes. The boy will enjoy a train of cars or books with pictures of trade life, vegetables, fruits and flowers. Both boys and girls are able at this age to appreciate a blackboard with crayon, some tracing cards, or a scrap book. Things to do with, will appeal to the children from five to six years of age. Tools of all kinds, carpenter's tools, garden tools, miniature farm implements, railroads and trains, equipments for a grocer ystore, will give the boy employment and entertainment for many days. The little girl wants tools, also, but of a different sort. Kitchen furniture, kitchen, laundry and baking seta, chairs and tables, a little churn or a toy piano, will give her a chance to Imitate her mother in her daily occupations. Fittings for a miniature school room will appeal to either a boy or girl, and at this age both are cauable of finding pleasure in games more Intricate than those of a year before. Marbles and tops, swings and seesaws, picture ppuzzles and the dissected pictures, will be enjoyed by children of six years. The little woman from six to ten years of age will want a nice big dollle and Its paraphernalia of equipment may be as extensive and intricate as the purse can buy. She would like her doll to have an outfit of clothing that would rival a society belle. A doll house with simple doll furniture.a doll carriage, a doll's bed and swing, and parasols, hats, fans and Jewelry, are only a few things

fight with men's weapons. Every wo- f man can influence her husband, I brother, sweetheart or son without ! the ballot. A woman once said to me: : 'Think what influence you would have Miss Peebles, if women could vote. You are at the head of your compan- j ions and when election time came, all the other women would be willing to vote the way you did.' 'Oh, yes,' I told her, 'and then a man would come along with big diamonds in his shirt front and would take the crowd out :

i for a ride in his auto and they'd all i vote for him.' It seems to me that

needed to contribute to the doll's pleasure and comfort. A nice big express wagon with some substantial tools furnish entertaintainment par excellence for the boy of this age. Clay board and modeling clay, dissected pictures and maps, water color paints, simple games, and picture books and easily comprehensible stories are appropriate for children of this age. From the age of ten or twelve, according to the maturity of the child, children begin to care less for toys which are a miniature of the real world and take more Interest in making collections of butterflies, of coins, postage stamps, postcards, or some thing to which their attention has been attracted.

We get a curious glimpse of the variety of things that were barred on Sundays in stricter days in an entry of excommunication cases presented

to the consistory court of arches of

Durham one day in the seventeenth century. "Bambrough, May 21, presented Thomas Anderson, of Swinhoe, for playing on a bagpipe before a bridegroom on a Sunday, and not frequenting the church, and for not receiving the holy 6acrament.

We wish to call your attention to the fact that most infectious diseases uch as whooping cough, diphtheria and scarlet fever are contracted when the child has a cold. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy will quickly cure a cold and greatly lessen the danger of contracting tluse diseases. This .remedy is famous for its cures of colds. It contains no opium or other narcotic and may be given to a child with implicit confidence. Sold by all dealers.

BEHIND THE SCENES WITH RUTH PEEBLES. I had intended to persuade Miss Peebles to discuss "The Permanent Value of Musioal Comedy," "The Psyhcology of Applause" or some oth er high-brow topic, but when she settled herself cosily in the chintz covered chair in her dressing room, and asked me whether I didn't think the orchids she wore in the first act looked real, I forgot all about my "interview" and launched into a real "schmuss." From a discussion of Service's poems of the Yukon country, which Miss Peebles greatly admires, the conversation swerved to baseball. "I've never seen a baseball game," confessed Miss Peebles, "and I've never been to a funeral and I've only seen one wedding." She forgot baseball long enough to remark that if she ever enters matrimony she would have to be blindfolded and backed into the stall. Then the conversation took a flying leap to the suffrage question and stayed there. "I don't believe in votes for women," declared Miss Peebles as she slipped into the brown corduroy suit which makes her such a bewitching torn boy in the second act of the "Heart Breakers." "Women should not try to

The North Polo. The class was just beginning the study of geography. "James," said the teacher to the small boy in the front row. "tell me all you know about the north pole. "The north pole Is up at the end of the world, anil the earth turns around it. and pskimos live there, and and" "Weil. James, is that all you know about the north pole? What about the climate?"

Powerful Effect of Pure Saccharin. Saccharin should never be taken in a pure state. Some idea of its power will be conveyed when it is understood that one part of it will give a very sweet taste to 10.000 parts of water. Tasted in too large a quantity, it acts upou he nerves in such a way as to paralyze the sense of taste, just as powerful music stuns or deadens the auditory nerves or a bright light acts apou the optic nerves.

A HEALTHY, HAPPY OLD AGE May be promoted by those who gently cleanse the system, now and then, when in need of a laxative remedy, by taking a desettspoonful of the ever refreshing, wholesome and tiuly beneficial Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, which is the only family laxative generally approved by the most eminent physicians, because it acts in a natural, strengthening way and warms and tones up the internal organs without weakening them. It is equally benenficial for the very young and the mid-

j die aged, as it is always efficient and

free from all harmful ingredients. 1 o get its beneficial effects it is always necessary to buy the genuine, bearing the name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co. plainly printed on the front of every package.
