“— HRISTMAS isan institu- Gy tionanda spirit too good to let die. The story of | the Christ child is the | sweetest story in the wotld and it never be- comes stale. When a little child hears it for the first time, he loves it and holds it.

. For centuries wise and simple alike hail the joyful wonda? of he cradle at Bethlehem as the fitting prelude to the tragic wonder of the cross. The tale of the first Christmas morning is that heavenly messengers have manifested themselves in our earthly sphere; heaven and earth are bound together; God and man are kin: the spiritual is linked to the material. The Word or Expression of God is uttered through a human being. The religious message of Christmas is fundamental. ‘Glory to God in the highest” is first in order; then comes goodwill in and among men; and only then can peace abide.

Some do not definitely recognize this religi- ous basis, yet gladly proclaim and obey the be- hest of the Christmas message. They would readily agree with Charles Dickens when he said: “] have always thought of Christmastime, apart from the veneration due to its sacred name and origin—if anything belonging to it can be apart from that—as a good time, a kind, forgiving, charitable, pleasant time."

The institution which can create such a spirit even for one day is worth preserving.

Christmas speaks to me with many tongues and every tongue has its own significance.

1. It speaks with the tongue of rejuvena- tion. There is here a new beginning for the race. The Calendar of Christendom teaches us to date our years not from the first Good Friday or Easter, but from Christmas. Since the birth of Christ, and by it, a new beginning has been made in the history and every new year may be detignated a fresh Annus Domini year of theLord.

2. It speaks with the tongue of deep my- stery, mystery not of darkness, but of light From the nature of the case the wisest and the simplest must knee] in wonder before this real manifestation of God, the Almighty, in flesh. The Incarnation cives us the nearer vision of God. The invitation of the Season is not: ‘‘O come let us explain Him,"’ but: ‘‘O come let us adore Him.”

{ j i 4 { { { j { { { 4 { 3. It speaks with the tongue of Love. It is 4 { { | i { {

the sign of God's sympathy with His creatures. His desire to come near to them _ His love has endured all human experiences from infancy to death. ‘The divine became human that the human may become divine.” So said one of the early Fathers of the Church. Love gives itself and longs to possess the answering love of its beloved. Christ is God's unspeakable gift to us. All Christmas giving rests upon the self-giving of God. Christmas love seeks to give to those whom we love, to those who atx in need, seeking for nought in return.

4. It speaks with the tongue of humility. It brings home to us the picture of one who ‘‘be- came poor"’ for our sake. As we remember the example of this great humility we dare not keep the feast in pride. The poverty of the Birth does not set class against class, but it does teach how little the greatest things of life are bound up with abundance of material goods. “Simplicity” of life is compatible with much or with little of this world's porsessions; it is a thing of the spirit; and it is taught by the circumstances of the ‘Infant Chris.

5. It’speaks with the tongue of thanksgiving.

In retyrn for God's inestimable gift to us, how can we show forth our gratitude? And for all the blessings of this life, for friends, for children, for cheer, for opportunities, for achievements, 4 Christmas bids us thank our Heavenly Father. We gather in homes made bright by His presence; we are linked by loving thoughts to friends and

It gives to friends the occasion of speaking out their mutual affection, and to those eatranged 4 the opportunity of reconcilliation, When angels sing ‘‘Peace on Earth and Mercy Mild,” can we not bury our grudges and sweeten our resent- ments?

7. It speaks with the tongue of eternal child- hood. It is pre-eminently the feast of the little ones. That is why the Spirit of Christmas per- sists and remains the same. Childhood means innocence, simplicity, affection, nearness to God. It means also promise, growth, development, the beginning of a process of spiritual progress, the end of which is not yet. winsome glories of Home grow out of the spirit of Christmas.

8. It speaks with the tongue of Hope. ‘Hope was born on Christmas day.’’ The keynote of the old carol strikes the keynote of the Christmas celebration; ‘‘Let nothing you dismay.’ The Dayspring from on high, the golden sunrise of Love has dawned on the darkness and despair of mankind, to give us light and guidance into the valley of peace. Christmas is a day, spirit of Christmas all the year through. of loving, of brotherhood, of service. but we can not keep it alone.

One Christmas Eve he wished to give a purse of gold to an old man and his little daughter, and in order to escape being seen, he climbed to their roof and dropped his precious gift down the chimney. hearth, however, the purse fell right into a stocking which was hung up to dry, and the next morning it was discovered there!

There never was such a goose. Bob Said he didn’t believe there ever was such a goose cooked, Its tenderness and flavor, size and cheapness, were the themes of universal admiration. Eked out by apple-sauce and mashed potatoes, it was a sufficient dinner for the whole family; indeed, as Mrs, Cratchit said with great de- light (surveying one small atom of a bone upon the dish), they hadn't ate it all at last! Yet every one had had enough, and the youngest Cratchits in particular, were steeped in sage and onion to the eyebrows! But now, the plates being changed by Miss Belinda, Mrs. Cratchit left the room alone—too nervous to bear witnesaes—to take the pudding up and bring it in.

Suppose it should not be done encugh! Suppose it should break in turning out! Suppose somebody should have got over the wall of the backyard and stolen it, while they were merry with the goose—a spposition at which the two young Cratchits became livid. All sorts of horrors were supposed.

Hallo! A great deal of steam! The pudding was out of the copper. A smell like a washing-day! That was the cloth. A smell like an eating-house anda pastry cook's next door to each other, with a laundress’s next door to that! That was the pudding! In half a minute Mrs, Cratchit entered—flushed, but smiling proudly— with the pudding, like a speckled cannon ball, so hard and firm, blazing in half-a- quartern of ignited brandy, and bedig 1t with Christmas holly.—Dickens’ Christmas Carol,

Feasting at Christmas

Me go OHN BULL has cause to look with pride on his Christ. mas board laden with rich and tempting fare from roast turkey or goose or sigioin to plum-pudding and mimce pies. But his pride—justi-

fiable as it is—would be a

little subdued if he could

look on at the Christmas din- ner enjoyed by his forefathers of past centuries.

The Christmas dinner of those days of old was a banquet indeed—a perfect revel of feasting, accompanied by a ceremonial worthy of such a high occasion.

Watch the imposing entry of the boar's head, heralded by a flourish of trumpets, borne aloft on a dish of gold or silver by the server, who, as he enters the banqueting-hall with his escort of nobles, knights, and fair ladies, sings his ‘Caput apri defero, Reddens laudes Domino.’

In the wake of this lordly dish, decked with ‘‘sweet rosemary and bays,"’ follows the peacock, “food for lovers and meat for lords,” with gilt beak and gay-colored plumage. To the strains of music it is borne into the hall by the fairest lady-guest, with her retinue of ladies almost as fair as hereelf.

é And these are but the heralds of the feast, which includes geese and pheasants, capons and pies of carps’ tongues, hams and sirloins, and so on, through the long and succulent list of Christmas fare, to furmety, plum-porridge and mince-pies of gargantuan proportions, until the table literally groans under its wealth of seasonable fare. As for the drinks, they range from mead and ale, ‘‘so old that it is almost sweet and treacly," to the bowls of wassail, with cherries and crabapples bobbing gaily on their steaming surface.

For many a century the boar's head was the piece de resistance of the Briton’s Christmas dinner, and it was fitting that such a noble and historic dish should make its appearance with due ceremonial.

“Sweet rosemary and bays around it spread;

His foaming tusks with some large pippin graced, Or midst those thundering spears an orange placed, Sauce like himself, offensive to its foes,

The roguish mustard, dangerous to the nose."

For centuries, too, the peacock ranked in dignity and favor next to the boar's head. To prepare it for this high festival was an elaborate process calling for much skill. ‘The skin,'’ we are told, ‘was first care- fully stripped off, with the plumage adhering; the bird was then roasted. When cooked and partially cold it was sewed up again in its feathers, its beak was gilt and so sent to table.

Sometimes the whole body was covered with gold leaf, and a piece of cotton, saturated with spirits, placed in the beak and lighted before the carver commenced operations. It was stuffed with spices and sweet herbs, basted with yolk of egg, and served with plenty of gravy. It was over this splendid dish that the knight of old swore to undertake any perilous enterprise that came in his way, and to succour lovely woman in distress even at the cost of his life.

Another indispensable dish of these old-time feasts was fru- menty or furmenty, a concoction of ‘‘wheat, clean fresh broth, and sweet milk of almonds,"’ and served with fat venison or fresh mut- ton. Plum-porridge, the progenitor of the succulent plum-pudding of our day, which was always served with the first course of a Christ- mas dinner, was made by ‘‘boiling beef or mutton with broth, thick- ened with brown bread. When half boiled, raisins, currants, prunes, cloves, mace and ginger were added; and when the mess had been thoroughly boiled it was sent to table with the best meats.”

Such was the Christmas dinner in castle and hall in the ‘‘good old days" of Merrie England. And while lord and squire were thus feasting the poor man’s heart was made glad in the kitchen. “‘I allow,’’ says Sir Roger de Coverley, ‘‘a double quantity of malt to my small beer, and sct it running for twelve days to everyone that callsforit. I have always a pivce of cold beef and a mince-pie upon the table; and am wonderfully pleased to see my tenants pass away a whole evening in playing their innocent tricks and smutting one another.’ And with such seductive lure to the hall, you may be sure that the villagers at the park-gates were not the folk to allow snow-drifts to bar their way to the nut-brown ale, the joints of cold beef, and the fun and frolic that were their accompaniment.

The straight-laced Puritans of Cromwell's time frowned on such feasting and merry-making as a profanation of a holy season. And, curiously enough, the chief objects of their detestation were the plum-porridge and mince-pies. As a rhymester puts it:—

The high-shoe lords of Cromwell’s making Were not for dainties—roasting, baking; The chiefest bowl they found most good in Was rusty bacon and bag pudding;

Plum broth was Popish, and mince-pie—

O that was flat idolatry!

Happily mince-pies and plum-porridge (in its successor, plum- pudding) survived this stern disapproval and are ours to feast on to-day, But the boat's head and the peacock have practically van- ished from our Christmas board,

But Yuletide feasting of the past was not all of this magnificent and orthadox character, For example, a Christmas banquet in Charles I,’s time included such novel fare as a “soup of snails, a dish of green fish buttered with eggs, a rabbit stuffed with oysters, and a spinnage tart'’—all doubtless excellent fare, especially when ac- companied by ale, surfeit-water, Canary, sack and Gascony winer.

More appealing to our modern tastes would have been the dinner to which Pepys sat down on Christmas Day, 1658, which consisted of ‘‘A dish of marrow-bones, a leg of mutton and a lom of veal, three pullets and a dozen larks, all in a great dish, Also a great tart, a neat's tongue, a dish of anchovies and prawns, and cheese.”

And what hungry Briton of to-day would not hail a Christmas pie like that provided for his guests in 1770 by a Sir Henry Grey. “It was," we read, ‘‘nine feet in circumference, weighed 165 pounds, «ad contained among other ingredients four geese, two turkeys, two rabbits, four wild-duck, two snipe, seven blackbirds, and half a dozen pigeons.’ This leviathan pie, we are told, ‘‘was brought round at table on a four-wheeled specially constructed truck.”

Best of All Yule Cheer

HRISTMAS—the friendliest, jolliest season of all the year, when folks naturally suffer from that good old-fashioned malady—enlargement of the heart: With the sweet winds of festivity blowing at will through city and suburb, down ancestral chimneys and across snow-carpeted prairie, rich and poor alike respond to their caress, With rigid conventions relaxed under the spell of the Yuletide, merriment is provoked upon the slightest pro- vocation, Let the bag of nuts that the bachelor is carrying break its bounds, and litter the floor of the street car, spontaneous laughter ripples through the trolley and strangers are chatting together with the intimacy of neighbors,

Touched by the breath of geniality, sympathetic chords are loosened and a hundred eyes dim with tears as pedestrians witness the tragedy of a curly-headed, blue-eyed baby doll slip from its

wrappings and crash to the pavement, with the shabbily dressed woman stooping in confusion to gather up the fragments. Blind beggars, with their ears tuned to the sweetest melody in all the world—the dropping of nickels and dimes into their tin cupe— listen throughout the Christmastide to a symphony of silver coin. Apartment house dwellers, with a world all its own abiding under one roof, wax friendly at a glimpee of the tinsel-hung tree across the

Didsbury Curlers Win from Olds by Good Margin.

The Olds Curling Club sent their two strongest rinks to Didsbury in quest of the Kremar trophy on Tuesday evening, but were not successful, both Olds rinks going down to defeat.

The Samis and McCloy game was a very close contest all the way through. McCloy counted four on the last end, which gave him the decision by a score of 15-17.

Julien’s rink had the edge on Gooder’s throughout the game and and at no time were in any danger, Julien winning by seven points.

Keep Didsbury Busy.

Tho merchants of Didsbury are doing their bit in solving the Christmas shopping problem for the people of this entire district. What to purchase for Christmas gifts has, and always will, entail a certain amount of worry to the buyer, but s‘tting in comfort by your own fireside, carefully study- ing every advertisement in this issue, will, in a great measure, solve many of your difficulties. What is especi- a'ly pleasing to the thrifty is, that the purse can be gauged, as, in many instances, prices are queted, the mer- chents being confident that the same will stand the test of any outside competition. It is particularly notice- able in perusing the merchants’ mes- sages, that they have in their stores a large assortment of goods speclally selected for the Christmas trade dis- played for your own examination as to quality which, when all is said and done, is the r-gulator of price vart- ance.

There is no hit and miss in this method of purchasing; no disappoint- ments, and your hard-earned cash re- mains in your purse unt'l an cxachange is made for a satisfactory purchase, to our mind, the ideal way of doing business, Read all the ads, they mean the saving of many dollars, especially at Christmas season, when there are so many knocks at the door of the pocketbook, and after all, there is a delightful “kick” in the trading with] the home merchant, especially at his invitation.

any Mounting Toll of Accidents

“The problem now is to speed up the adjustment of humanity so that it |

will keep pace with the rap'dly increasinyy development of machinery.”

In these words a writer in a recent United States health publication eoncludes an article dealing at some length with the steady and alarming increase in the number of deaths resulting from accidents. Illustrative of this nec’ for the whole human family to adjust itself to this changing age, it is

po nted out that whereas adults rarely are the victims of fatal scalding in |

the home, this type of accident is not at all uncommon among childen who have not learned to adjust themselves to the ordinary habits of domestic civ lization.

While most public attention centres around the automobile? because frorn

it :esult more accidental deaths than from any other one thing, and because |

accidental deaths associated with the automobile have increased so rapidly during recent years, this emphasis tends to overshadow all other hazards and muy lead parents to feel that children are perfectly safe when out of the streets and in the home. As a matter of fact, the writer in question points out, the mortality toll from other accidents is more than double that from automobiles.

Indicating the enormous death toll from accidents, figures are quéted showing that in the single state of Illinois, last year, there were more deaths from accidents than the combined Union and Confederate armies lost in the bloody battle of Gettysburg, in the Civil War. Further, that in the last seven years accidents in that one State accounted for more deaths than the United States lost in soldiers “killed in action’ 'in the Great War.

Coming nearer home, we learn from figures compiled by the Provincial Yire Commissioner for Saskatchewan, and extensively published in the

eweekly press of this Province,.that during the first nine months of this year more persons lost their lives through the improper and careless use of yrasoline and coal oil than occurred from similar causes in any complete yeur for five or s'x years past.

All of which only serves to reinforce the opinion expressed in the article f:om which we have quoted that “practically all accidents happen because the people involved are out of tune with their cnvirenment. Sometimes the colhsequences are fatalito the person who is out of tune, and sometimes they

fatal to innocent people.” expressed that these -will come under control “just as soon as people

ierally learn to adapt themselves to the new machine age.”

Too much emphasis, perhaps, is laid on the need for more prohibitive I gislation and more étrimgent regulations, and too little upon the education of the people, ang «specially children, in the exercise of care and plain common sense. Governmental and munic'pal enactments and regulations there must be, but it has; been amply demonstrated that speed limits alone Wil not stop reckléss driving of motor cars, ‘“‘stop"’ signs will not prevent level cross'ng accidents, the label “Poison” does not deter a young child trom drinking a harmful drug carelessly left within its reach, while matches ind loaded firearms lying around still have an irresistible attraction for all youngsters. t

The whole country is crying out for more good roads, hard-surfaced, all-

ather highways. No doubt they are an economic necessity and should be provided to the» extent that the community can afford to pay for their construction and continued maintenance. But, until the human family rcadjusts itself to this new age, every additional mile of good road likewise lds to the accident and death toll because people regard them as an additional incentive th “speed up” and take risks they would not dare to to ke On an unimproved highgway, Statistics prove conclusively that more 1 cidents occur on the better, roads than on the inferior and very poor ones, Not restrictive laws and regulations, not more hard-surfaced highway

hor more safety devices on and about machinery, good and desirable as they 6, constitute the best protection aga’nst accidents and avoidable death. tieal and the most effective protection rests with the individual human clement. Adjustment to the age in which we live must be speeded up if this

}lot and terrible economic loss of the mounting death toll from accidents is |

to be removed from our: present-day civilization:

Steady progress was being made in rewriting the Canada grain act, E. D. Ramsey, chairman of the Board of Grain Commissioners stated in W nni- peg.

RHEUMATIC PAINS

|Cannot Be Rubbed Out — the Trouble Must Be Treated

| Through the Blood

The pain of rheumatism is some- thing that you cannot rub out. Every {sufferer from rheumatism has been advised to rub this or that liniment or oil on the affected part, but after all the rubbing the- pain remained. !'Thin blood and rheumatism -come to- {gether and if they are properly | treated will go together. means thin blood, and thin blood is |something that can be corrected, so why not build up the blood until the rheumatic poisons are driven out?

This is exactly what is done in the treatment of rheumatism with Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. Rheumatism in

any form shows improvement as the |

| thin blood is built up, and when the }poisons in the blood are overcome and driven out rheumatism disap- | pears and does not return so long as !the blood is kept rich and red. The great value of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills in the treatment of rheumat'sm

is proved by the case of Mr, Thomas |

!Martin, of Novar, Ont., who says: ~- “For some years I was so_ badly troubled with rheumatism that I ; could hardly walk, and suffered great

‘pain. I had medical treatment but did not get much relief. Then I de- cided to try Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills

,and after taking the p‘lls for some |

time the trouble disappeared and has not since shown the least sign of returning.”

You can get these pills from your

A Mixed Farming Country

| Saskatchewan Increasing Dairy and } Poultry Output

While the fame of the Province of

| Saskatchewan rests principally on the |

|fact that within its boundaries more

|than half of the wheat grown in all |

| Canada is produced, it is also a very |

jimportant dairying and mixed farm- jing country. The province supplies | a substantial quantity of butter for | |the bread it produces. In October of | this year the output of creamery but- | | ter was 1,191,895 pounds, an increase of 400,928 pounds or 50.7 per cent. | | over the production in the correspond- | ing month last year. Saskatchewan is also an important factor in the egg and poultry market. Many a prize | turkey that graces the dining table | in homes in Eastern Canada and the | United States at Thanksgiving and | Christmas is the product of Saskatch- ;ewan, Practically all the eggs and poultry from the farms of the prov- | ince are marketed by the Saskatch- ewan Egg and Poultry Pool, the di- rectors of which are all women, farm-

ers’ wives, except one mere man.

HeAsked Them Does It Pay

To Clip Cows?

CERTAIN farmer wanted the facts about clipping cows so he wrote us for names of those owning clipping machines. He wrote them. Now he himself is so pleased with the Stewart clipping machine he sent us the letters which made him decide the clipping machine is a good in- vestment. Here are some of them: Hawkesbury. “aS ehert ef help clipping re- duces time necessary to keep cows clean--and must say since using the machine have not had any trouble with lice.” Jordan. “Before we clipped our cows we had a high bacteria count, where- as after we clipped them we hada very lew bacteria count thus improving the quality of our milk.” Whitby. “And it certainly is a wonderful help in reducing lice.” Gadshill. “We find it much easier te keep them clean and free frem vermin when clipped. To have clean milk you must have clean cows. We raise quite a number of heifers every year and in that way we always have a number of cows to sell. The clipping so improves the appear- ance of the cows that I think it easily adds § er 10 dollars te the value of an animal."’

HOW TO CLIP Cows Manure, the principal source of bacteria, cannot collect and at milking time rub off into the paif if hair on udders, underline, flanks and tail is kept clipped short all winter.

Lice seem to congregate along the spine, which explains why some farmers clip a six-inch width from tail to ears,

Farmers who have warm stables and drinking water inside, usually clip their cows all over in the fall.

Proposal That

Food Ships In

War Time Shall Have Freedom Of Seas, Is Strong Peace Gesture

President Hoover's proposal that ships shall have the freedom of the | seas in war time, clashes directly with | the master strategy of war. That is why, no doubt, the President puts it forward only as a suggestion, some- th’ng to be implanted in the public mind at a time when the main trend of thought is running against war.

It is a preparedness measure, this | utterance of Mr. Hoover's; it accords with his plea for concentration of | thought and energy upon prepared- | ness for peace. For while statesmen | and citizenry are striving to devise means to settlescontroversies that | might lead to war, science is steadily at work on means to make war more horrible. Not that the scientists are war makers. But that they respond naturally to the age-old urge of the war phychosis.

Starvation has always been one of; war's Weapons. Only since its all- enveloping poss'bilities as developed in the World War have become so apparent to mankind has starvation of a whole people especially of wo- men and children, evoked abhor- rence in the peace time that succeeds war. Science may devise greater and | greater weapons of war; strategy | may counsel the winning of victory | by involvement of a whole people in | the enormity of defeat. sut the Twent'eth Century has made war s0 all-inclusive that the weapon of star- vation, tolerable when its siege was relatively limited to scope, must soon, if it does not ‘now, command a new place in the view of humanity. For, instead of making war more horrible, this advance would make it less! effective, and so less the resort of nitions. |

It is with th’s doubt, that the the idea in the

SYNOPSIS

Al Stone, singing waiter at Blackie Joe's New York night club, is loved by Grace Farrel, the cigarette girl, but he doesnt know it. He marries Molly Wonton, a ballad singer, and wins fame as a composer of popular songs. When their baby, Junior, is about two years old, Molly elopes with John Perry, Al's best friend. She and Perry take the child Al adores and sail for France. Al, completely broken by his loss, disappears from Broadway and becomes a derelict. One day the sight of Grace Farrel on the street arouses old memories. He returns to Blackie Joe's at talking to Blackie in his office until Blackie is called outside by a patron.

CHAPTER XXIV

Blackie crossed the main room briskly to shake hands with the de- parting patrons and urge them to come again. But as he talked his mind was working on Al's problem. Suddenly he reached the conclusion that Grace Farrel was the logical one to approach Al. She

his courage when no one else could.

Grace worked at a desk in an al- cove on the other side of the main room. <A screen concealed her view of the noom and she had not seen Al and Blackie cross the floor, Now she had just completed her ac- counts for the day. She was de- c'dedly sleepy, but her eyes opened wide when Blackie stood before her. From his expression she realized that something important had happened.

“Guess who's here?”

“Who---Blackie? Not-—-not Al?”

“The same. Just wandered in a few minutes ago—looks as if he'd been sleeping on the wharves for a month.”

Grace's hand darted to her cheek and pressed hard against it. So, it had happened, the thing she had dreamed of and worked so hard to bring about. Al was found!

“Listen, girlie.” Blackie leaned forward confidentially. ‘He's in my office. I've talked to him, tried to make him stage a come-back, but I can’t make a dent. He just shakes

As she planned she prepared for the big moment in a feminine way —patting her hair into shape, re- arranging a stray curl, examining her lips ina mirror. Then she turned de- terminedly toward the private office. Black'e stood in the main room, staring after Grace as she walked toward the office. He decided to stay away from Al fo¥ a few moments and

studying the famillar pictures on the wall, his nervous tension made him want to jump up and leave. But as he stood up, determined to walk out, he saw Blackie’s old piano in a corner of the room, beh'nd the desk.

He walked slowly toward it. Yes, it was the same old battered instru- ment; he had composed some of his early hits while sitting in front of it. Without thinking, he ran his hands Vghtly up and down the keys. What fingers! They were stiff, grimy, bru’sed, sore. Their play across the keys was painful and slow, yet in the |}old days they had danced up and down the scale in nimble ease. . : Al looked up, hearing a faint sound, and turned his head. Grace stood in the doorway.

Grace had entered as quietly as

before he saw her, for she knew that |in that flash second her ; might give her a clue as to the best | way to proceed with him. Now, as he stared up at her with startled eyes, his really pitiable condition was ac- curately revealed. She answered his stare with an expression of tender sympathy.

“A1?"' she whispered softly.

“Grace! Why, its really you!”

| you been, Al?”

| He glanced down at the frayed

cuffs of his coat sleeves. “Judge , for yourself.” He grinned ruefully.

“But, Al, you don't have to’ look |like that. You have money.” “Yes, but I don't want it | use it.”

Grace waited a moment, She had the same sense of the passive bar- }rier of despair between Al and her |that Blackie had felt. Yet there must be a way to cross that barrier! | She said firmly:

“Blackie tells me you mean to stage a come-back.’

Al shook his head. “Blackie's wrong."” But as he said that the young song writer glanced away; he was ashamed to face Grace. Quick as a flash Grace saw the move and thought: “If he isn’t past shame, there’s hope.”

“Listen, Al,” she said. ‘You have the gift of song. Millions of people are }made happy by the things you write. | Do you think you have any right to crush that gift and turn your back on all those people?”

“That's just preaching, Grace, <A | man in my situation has a right to |live the way he pleases, providing he doesn't hurt any one I don't | hurt anybody.”

“Yes, you do,’

Al shot an astonished, questioning look at Grace.

“You hurt me, for one person,” she said gravely. “Of course that doesn't | Matter, But you hurt someone else {hurt him terrribly, You hurt your {son, whom you love. What will he

Al winced visibly and reached to- ward the piano for support. He couldn't believe his ears—gentle Gracie talking to him th's way! Her eyes were like steel.

“Junior will never know about me,” jhe answered defiantly. ‘No one w'll tell him. He'll grow up believing I disappeared and died in some un- known place. That is what is going to happen to me. He'll never see me as you see me now—a bum!”

Then Grace played her strongest card. “Yes, he will know about you!’’ she c’ed, with blazing eyes. ‘T’'ll see to it that he does know! I'll tell him!”

T'll see that he knows everything about you, Al Stone! Don't forget it!"

Al believed Grace meant what she said. He staggered for a moment, then crouched and began moving to- ward her, a hateful look in his eyes.

Soviets Pass Drastic Law

Russians Refusing To Return To Country On Call Are Declared Outlaws

Hereafter Soviet Citizens working or residing abroad who may refuse to obey the summons of their govern- ment to return to Russia will ad- judged guilty of treason. When finally taken into custody they will be sent to prison and shot within 24 hours after identity is established.

This drastic measure was taken by the central executive committee of the Soviet Union in the light of the recent refusal of M. Bessodovsky, of the Soviet embassy at Paris, to return to Moscow to face trial on charges of embezzlement.

The new decree is retroactive and | declares that all such Soviet cit'zens | W ll be classed as outlaws and desert- ers, and as enemies of the workers and peasants. All their property will be confiscated and their cases tried by the supreme court of the union and their names broadcast as outlaws.

KEEP THEM HAPPY BY KEEPING THEM WELL

It is natual for children to be happy, act've and full of fun. When they are fretful, fussy and disinclin- ed to play you may be sure some- thing is wrong. Almost invariably that something Illes in the digestive tract.

It is to meet the need for an ab- solutely safe corrective of childhood ailments that Baby’s Own Tablets have been designed. They gently regulate the stomach and bowels and thus drive out constipation and indi- gestion; break up colds and simple fevers and allay teething pains. Concerning them Mrs. W. E. Forsyth, Dover, N.B., writes:—"I would not be without Baby’s Own Tablets as I know of nothing to equal them for fretful, fussy babies who are troubled with colds or sour stomach.”

Baby's Own Tablets are sold by med'cine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from the Dr. Williams’ Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.
