. Christmas Then And Now ."Emma, with your long hair keep away from that Christmas tree!" And Emma,, of the long curls and last summer's fluffy dress, stood back, for once, while a helpful male Jighted the candles of the Christmas tree. -Yesterday's Christmas was a personal and not a civic affair. It didn't mean a Santa Claus parade, or a Community Christmas tree or a dozen different Santas in the stores. Christmas was an all-embracing family occasion, and a warm home was the stage where each assumed his favorite role. Mamma fixed the turkey. Papa hitched Duke to the "buggy" and went into the country with the boys for mistletoe. Aunts made candy openly, and doll clothes secretly, while Uncles worked late in tool sheds.

g "But unfortunately there was often an unhappy aftermath to the gaiety of the holiday time. Those lovely little candles among green fir branches always caused damage -in someone's home. Between Christmas and New Year's the local papers carried the stories. And it wasn't always just the hand-made Battenburg curtains in the parlor which went up in flames. Even with the electric Christmas, tree lights of today, many fire hazards must be recognized during the holidays. Many more persons smoke than in earlier days. Gorgeous cellophane and tissue paper wrappings are unbelievably inflammable. Fireplaces and wastebasket's quickly fill with the residue of the holidays papers, cigarette stubs, string, and dried bits of pine or holly. So, be careful this Christmas time. The old danger of candles is largely over but new fire dangers can make the Holiday Season a time of tragedy.

Awful Rheumatic Pain Left Man's Body in 8 Hours "For years I had rheumatic pains in the muscles of my shoulders, legs and ankles, which finally got so stiff, sore' and painful that when I walked 1 would

flinch with agony. I got RHUAID and .started taking it, and the rheumatic pains began leav

ing my body in eight hours. Now the pains are gone from my muscles entirely. I feel like some other person, and I praise RHUA1D to the sky." This is a genuine testimonial from a man living right here in this vicinity. RHU-AID is the new liquid formula containing three valuable medical ingredients. These Three Great Medicines, all blended into one, go right to the very cause of rheumatic and neuritis aches and pains. Miserable people soon feel different all over. So don't go on suffering! Get RHU-AID. Bennett's Drug Store.

Jim's Nice But Steals

NILES, O., (UP) A small, sleek, dark party known to police only as "Jim," has been sabotaging construction of badly needed homes here. Contractors in the area have complained of nail stealing, the Sticking of nails under roofing, and the theft of workers' chew

ing tobacco. When police found out the culprit's address, they went to the

home of Mr. and Mrs. Nick Miller and told them outright, "You have a thief here, and his name is Jim." "What has he been up to now?" Mrs. Miller asked anxiously.

The patrolman told her. Mrs. Miller asked for leniency. She described Jim's past. "He isn't a bad crow," she explained, somewhat ruefully. "He's just misunderstood." Mrs. Miller told how she found Jim on her front porch when he was only a few weeks old. He had a broken leg which she fixed up, but when he was better he would not leave. Jim started on his career of

crime when a neighbor gave him a nail. Now he collects them. He also removes clothespins from lines and chases cats and dogs. Children, however, make a pet of him and he plays with the neighborhood youngsters constantly. When Miller returns from work Jim perches on his shoulder and accompanies him down the block. As darkness falls and lights appear in the Miller residence,

Jim flies in the nearest window and beds down with the family dog, Trusty. Jim, Mrs. Miller hopes, will become less delinquent as he grows older. Bringing It Up to Date OLYMPIA, Wash. (UP) A revised code for the state of Washington will be submitted to the 1947 legislature. The new code will embrace all existing laws since 1854.

Mike's arms remained beneath the woter. MIKE made no gestures toward his own weapons but plunged on. Three times more Tom Warren fired, then Mike's big hands were gripping his shoulders rnd the two went down into the bayou. The water boiled . . . On the bank, the men held their fire: Then Mike's head rose above the waters but his arms remained beneath it, the muscles tense until the water was still. Heavily, he climbed the bank. Andre saw the bloodstains on his shirt. "You're hurt," he said. "Fleabites," Mike growled. He looked at the water. "Let -the bayou have him. I want to see Stevie." Up at Harrow, lights blazed from every window. As Andre and Mike dismounted, Aurore rode furiously up and flung herself from her horse. "How is he, Andre?" she demanded. "Don't tell me he's . . '

"How is he?" Aurore demanded.

Stephen leaped his horse recklessly at barriers ,

"Softly," Andre said. "Your sister's husband is neither dead nor dying. I'll take you inside." Aurore smiled at him but her eyes were bright with tears. "My sister's husband," she murmured. "Thank you, Andre. I needed reminding, didn't I?" But when they reached Stephen's chamber, they found he was much worse. The doctor had prepared the family for Stephen's death. But suddenly old Caleen muttered, "Docteur great fool. Caleen kin cure him, yes." "Then for God's sake do it," Aurore cried. There could be no harm now in trying. At the slave's command, she was left alone with the unconscious Stephen. She bent over the still form. "You not happy, Caleen knows," she crooned. "But sometime you be happy. Don't "die, maitre. Easy to die, but hard to live. You got son,

maitre. Live for him. Make man out of him. Cowards die; cowards run away. Brave men don't die; they live, yes!" Over and over she talked uxhim. Slowly the grey tide stole out of his cheeks, and the faint flushes of color came in. While she talked his breathing evened. When the others were called in, they stared. "You old witch," Andre said. "You blessed old witch!" Stephen's recovery was steady but it was many weeks before he could leave his bed. Aurore helped in the nursing and sometimes Odalie's voice was cold, speaking to her sister . . . The crops that year were good and Harrow made money. By the time the smoke was billowing up from the tall stack of the sugar house, Stephen was riding again, leaping his' horse recklessly at barriers . . . (Continued tomorrow)
