Mrs. M. H. Van Wart, Lents, Ore., writes: "I feel it a duty to write to you. Four

years ago my husband had a bad cough and found no relief from any cough medicines he tried. Finally tried your Mentho-Laxene and made it up as a cough syrup and it quickly cured him. Now, this last winter, my two boys had fearful coughs and it has cured them. It also gives me great relief from asthma, from which I suffer in winter time, as you know here we have it so rainy instead of snow, as back east, etc." j

MAKE THIS A PRACTICAL WAR-TIME CHRISTMAS

SHOP EARLY

SHOP EARLY

Christmas shall not pass from our lives even though the world is wrecked with war strife. Each and every one may enjoy all the goodness of the Yuletide, but your Government asks a few considerations which do not impose any hardships and are not difficult to follow. Merchants have been asked not to increase working hours and not to employ extra salespeople, but to operate with their normal number of employes in regular hours and induce the public to make their purchases in the usual hours, thereby saving labor for vital work, and fuel for vital industries.

Shop Now

The government requests that Christmas gift shopping be done now. The transportation and manufacturing facilities of the nation must not be congested. Shopping early thus becomes a patriotic duty. All the stores are ready with a plentiful supply of practical articles suitable for Christmas presents. All are ready to help you obey the government's injunctions. Spread your Christmas shopping over October and November. The Council of National Defense says that no extra help ca n be employed and no extra shopping hours. Shop as early in the day as possibl e. Aside from patriotic motives, which should come first, are the facts that if you shop now you get ample selections and better service.

CARRY SMALL PACKAGES

Carry your packages with you as many as possible. Deliveries can be reduced to a minimum by every one carrying every small package. With this thought in mind all Christmas deliveries can be in good time. Uncle Sam says positively "that there can be no extra deliveries." He needs the men for war work. By spreading your shopping over two months, bulky packages can be delivered without congestion. Shipments to men in the Expeditionary Forces should be made before November 1 5th. Shipments of Christmas gifts out of town should be made before December 5 th, by government orders. Buy Practical Gifts

GIVE USEFUL GIFTS ONLY, except in the case of children for whom Christmas has always held a sacred happiness. Useless knicknacks are not going to be the mode at all. But useful, sensible, practical gifts should be more popular than ever, says the National Council of Defense. .

In Christmases gone by it was all right for those who wished to give tinseled nothings as gifts, but this year we are called upon to remember our Country as we remember our friends. The Win-the-War spirit is dominant.
