NEW YORK. Dec. 25. New Tork con
tributed today to the most bounteous
Christmas it has had In several years.
Ideal Winter weather, clear, cold and
sunshiny, marked the day. Thirty-seven
thousand of the city's poor shared In the
distribution of Christmas dinners by the
Salvation Army. Timothy V. Sullivan and
the Bowery Mission. Five thousand bas
kets and 1000 bags, each containing a
fowl and "fixings" sufficient for a fam
ily of five persons or more, were dis
tributed by Commander Eva Booth, of
the Salvation Army at the Grand Cen
tral Palace from 11 to 1 o'clock.
The people were admitted to the (treat
hall in crowds of 200 and presented with a
basket of food. The usual Christmas
dinner at the Palace was abandoned, as
Commander- Booth was convinced that
the recipients of the Rifts preferred to
take them to their own homes and pre
pare their dinners after their own fash
Ion. This made it possible to add 1000
bags to the amount usually distributed.
Tim Sullivan Feeds Thousands.
In the. afternoon occurred the annual
Christmas tree and distribution of more
than 3000 toys to the children. Com
mander Booth ,. said that the poor had
suffered more this year' than last, as
the . price of food and rents had been
advanced.
More.- than finoo of the homeless of the
Kast Side partook of Christmas dinner at
the Timothy D. Sullivan . Association
rooms in the Bowery. No distinctions
were made between applicants, except
that the lame and the blind were given
preference in the line of those waiting
for admission.
The majority of those who came for
food were evidently in sad need of
clothing, for many were without over
coats and wore only the remnants of
shoes. The day was bitterly cold. As
each man departed from the hall a pouch
full of tobacco, a pipe and a ticket for
a pair of shoes was given to him, and
then the hall "was cleared for the admis
sion of another group of 300.
Baskets and Bags of Food.
One hundred and fifteen baskets of food
and clothing were distributed to poor
women at the Bowery Mission this morning.-
and tonight more than 1200 men par
ticipated in the mission's annual Christ
mas dinner.

taining enough food for a dinner for 10
persons, were distributed by the Volun
teers of America.

NO HOLIDAY IN SHEA TRIAL
Defense Shows Montgomery Ward &
Co. Refused Arbitration.
CHICAGO, Deo. 25. For the -st time In
many years a trial was held on Christ
mas day In the Criminal Court. The case
was that of Cornelius P. Shea and other
labor leaders, who are charged with con
spiracy In connection with the teamsters'
strike.
At the opening of court the attorneys
engaged in long arguments regarding the
admissibility of testimony pertaining to
the controversy between Montgomery,
"Ward & Co. and the Garment Workers,
which preceded the strike of the team
sters. The court ruled that the defenee
would be allowed to . introduce evidence
regarding the controversy, but not as to
the merits of the controversy. The de
cision of the court was considered a vic
tory by the defense.
Charles Dold, president of the Chicago
Federation of Labor, at the time of the
teamsters' strike, then took the stand,
and declared that before the teamsters
went on strike, he and President Shea
and other labor leaders had visited the
office of Montgomery, Ward & Co., and
had sought to have the trouble settled by
arbitration. This was refused, he de
clared, the officers of the company saying
that there was nothing to arbitrate. The
witness then told of other efforts that
were made to secure arbitration, and said
that Mayor Dunne was asked to use his
good offices to bring it about. The Mayor
did all that he could, the witness de
clared, but was unsuccessful.
It was contended by the defense that
these efforts of the labor leadens to bring
about arbitration showed that they were
not In a conspiracy to wreck the business
of Ward & Co.

A VALUABLE
Will Break Up a Cold in
Cure Any Cough
Mix one half ounce of concentrated Oil of Pine, with two ounces of
glycerine and a half pint of good whiskey. Shake thoroughly and use in
tablespoon doses every four hours.
Dr. A. N. Wallace, of Philadelphia, the renowned throat and lung spe
cialist who established a camp for consumptives in the pine woods of
Maine, and whose remarkable cures there- attracted international atten
tion, declares that the above formula- is one of the very best remedies
obtainable for an acute cold and that it will strengthen the lungs, relieve
coughs and heal the bronchial tubes. Also, that it will cure any case of lung
trouble not too far advanced If the patient will assiRt by plenty of out
door exercise. Inhaling deep, long breaths every few minutes.
The Ingredients are procurable of any good prescription druggist and
easily mixed at home and it should take its place as one of the most valued
remedies in the family medicine chest.
Inquiry at one of the leading druggists elicited the information that
concentrated Oil of Pine is put up for dispensing only In half-ounce vials
securely scaled in round screw-top cases Intended to protect It from heat
and light. Only the cheaper extracts are sold in bulk, but owing to their
Impurities and the quantity that would be necessary to be effective they
only produce nausea and are useless as a medicine.
Concentrated Oil of Pine also has proven a perfect neutralizing agent
for uric acid and relieving most obstinate cases of rheumatism and kidney
trouble. For this purpose the treatment Is very simple; a few drops on
loaf sugar taken night and morning.
