Music for Christmas.

Music should form a greater part of our Christmas than it does, especially where the children are concerned. The most tuneful music ever written has been built around the theme of the first Christmas. To introduce this music tn

the child, either through song, instrument or the prood phonograph record, means making their Christmas a spiritual instead of a material fact. The old hymns and oratorios should come first in the home Christmas program. Play or sing the mover and over again to the children. "Silent Night, Holy Night;" the old Breton folk Fong, "No Candle Was Here and No Fire ;" Luther's Christmas Lullaby, "Away in a Manger;"

"The Carol of the Birds and the Flowers ;" "Good

King Wenceslas;" "O Come All Ye Faithful;"

What Child Is This?"; "There Dwelt in Judea;"

Milton's "Hymn on the Nativity," set to music by David Stanley Smith; "The Holly and the

Ivy;" "Come, Bring the Christmas Yule Log to the Firing;" the old Welsh Carol, "Deck the Hall With Boughs of Holly;" the old English carol, "Sing We All Merrily Christmas Is Here," and countless others, beautiful and classic.

Next in value to the old carols at Christmas

time is the study of one oratorio, that form of

music which embodies as no other, the religious theme. If a church choir or a school chorus can plan to give an oratorio at Christmas time it will be an uplifting experience for the whole community. At least the main themes of Handel's "Messiah" can be studied at home. They will bring through music, the whole story of Christmas. There is the inspiring "Hallelujah Chorus" that, with its crashing joy chords, bring audiences, thousands strong, to their feet in reverential appreciation. In its "Pastoral Symphony" we are carried in imagination to the green hills of Bethlehem, we hear the tinkling sheep bells

and wait with the shepherds in the starlight for the dawning of the Christmas miracle. The arias, "Every Valley Shall Be Exalted" and "He Shall Feed His Flock Like a Shepherd," show us the tender quality of the Divine love as expressed in the conception of Handel. "Come Unto Me," "Comfort Ye My People" and "The Trumpet Shall Sound" strike the world-wide note of comfort and consolation sounded first from the lips of the angels on Bethlehem's plains.

RELIGIOUS BELIEFS KEEP LITTLE GIRLS LOOKING FOR HOME

Through complications, religious differences and other obstacles, three little girls who might have had good homes, are still awaiting the arrival of some one who will take them. Two of the little girls are sisters, Ethel, age 9 and Grace, age 7. The father of the two Is living but he. cannot support them and they have had the advantage of a mother's care for only a part of their lives. The other little girl Is Mildred, age 7, who now has a good home, but will be unable to keep it because of a nervous breakdown of her foster mother. To Separate Sisters. The little girl named Grace will be separated shortly from her sister' and given a home unless Mrs. Candler, secretary of the board of children's guardians receives an application from a family which is willing to take both girls. Every effort will be made to keep Ethel and Grace together. Mildred has almost had a new home several times but something has come up each time which prevents her adoption. Some -of the applications did not meet the requirements for home making, one family which filled the requirements feared to take the child because of possible future religious differences. Mrs. Candler said today that many

country people have applied to her for

the children but she is not in a position to investigate the source of the applications. She prefers having the children placed in Richmond homes. The reason for the greater number of rural applications, she said, is the fact that the children are needed for the help they will be to the families in the future.

BY Ln .SED WIRE. W ASHINGTON", Dec. 10. Steel cars 1n passenger train service should be required by law, the Interstate Commerce Commission says in its annual report made public here today. It also declares that the use in passenger trains of wooden cars between or in front of steel cars should be prohibited. The commission is desirous of making the railroad hours-of-service act more stringent and proposes that the penalty for violations of this act be changed to fixed and definite sum, or that a minimum penalty f $100 be established instead of the penalty of "not to exceed $500" as now provided. The report hints that the railroads pre covering instances of excess service by the excuses of "broken drawtars," "leaky flues," and "hot boxes." Kill 169 Passengers. "Sixty-three train accidents were investigated by the. commission during the year ended June 30, 1914," says the report. "Forty of these accidents were collisions and 23 were derailments. The collisions investigated

were responsible for 10S deaths and 1.1H2 injuries and the derailments caused til deaths and 972 injuries. Thirteen of these collisions, causing V,'. deaths iitul 442 injuries, occurred where the block system was in use, and 24 collisions, involving fi4 deaths and 713 injuries, occurred under the train-order system. "Collisions caused by Improper flagping continue to be a prominent feature of these investigations. Eight of the 4o collisions investigated were due to this cause. In these 8 collisions 45 persons were killed and 386 injured. Attention has been called to the praclice of employing inexperienced men as flagmen. In one collision, due to in-proper flagging, which caused 14 deaths and 234 injuries, the flagman sit fault had been employed only 24 days, and was entirely without previous railroad experience. Assails Order System. "The inherent weakness of the trainorder system continues to manifest itself as a prominent feature of the accident record. In 13 of the 40 collisions investigated it appeared :liat 7 were caused by trains encroaching upon the time of superior class trains and 5 were caused by the fail

ure of trainmen to obey orders. On most roads where the train-order system is used the rules require that an order establishing a meeting point for opposing trains shall be sent simultaneously to all the trains involvel, and also, whenever practicable, to the operator at the designated meeting point, thus providing a check against the possibility of trainmen forgetting or misunderstanding the order. This check, provided by the so-called "middle order" is an important element of safety in the movement of trains on single-track lines, but on some roads the rule which requires it to be used is not observed."

ACID STOMACHS ARE DANGEROUS Common Sense Advice by a Distinguished Specialist. "Acid" stomachs are dangerous because acid irritates and inflames the delicate lining of the stomach, thus hindering and preventing the proper action of the stomach, and leading to probably nine-tenths of the cases of stomach trouble from which people suffer. Ordinary medicines and medicinal treatments are useless in such cases, for they leave the source of the trouble, the acid in the stomach, as dangerous as ever. The acid must be neutralized, and its formation prevented, and the best thing for this purpose is a teaspoonful of bisurated magnesia, a simple antacid, taken in a little warm or cold water after eating, which not only neutralizes the acid, but also prevents the fermentation from which acidity is developed. Foods which ordinarily cause distress may be eaten with impunity if the meal is followed with a little bisurated magnesia, which can be obtained from any druggist, and should always be kept handy. ad.
