Shoes for Christmas Stockings Unfortunately too much atten tion is given to the stockings at Chrismas time and 'the shoes are likely to be neglected. There is more common sense in a pair of shoes for a Christmas gift than in any other present you can make.

If your baby is delicate and sickly and its food does not nourish it, put fifteen or twenty, drops of Scott's Emulsion in its bottle three or four times a day and you will see a marked change. We have had abundant proof that they will thrive on this emulsion when other food fails to nourish them. It is the same with larger children that are delicate. Scott's Emulsion seems to be the element lacking in their food. Do not fail to try it if your children do not thrive. It is as useful for them in summer as in winter.

Many , Interesting Services and Exercises. 1 The Presbyterian Sunday school Christmas exercises on Friday evening, was elaborate and patriotic. Il was im possible tor many of the people to get inside of the large church building. After the preliminary devotional ser vices the first number on the program was an address by Thomas Stone, fol lowed with a recitation by Bertha Koerner. Then came a lullaby "Under the Mistletoe,", by several little girls. Joseph Wallace gave a recitation on the "Song arid Star," followed with a song by Mies Eleanor Williams' c'ass.

Bessie Grant ; soug, by Mrs. Frank An drew's class ; solo, O. I. Davideon. Af ter this came the event of the evening ihe appearance of the United States battleship Oregon, under command of George Marr, as Admiral Dewey, bear ing the Christmas gilts. The boat was an exact counterpart of the original model, and its advent was received with dei fening cheers W. A. White and Mr. Chase were the constructors of the craft. Another feature of the occa sion was the presentation by the various departments of the church of a purse of gold to the pistor, Rev. A. J. Montgom ery. An elaborate literary and musical program was presented at the Metho dist Episcopal church Sunday night on behalf of the Sunday school. After the customary devotional services and a voluntary by the orchestra the choir sang an anthem. This was followed with recitations by Lelia Young an Annie Marley; then came a violin solo by Mr. Everest. Then came recitations by Mareta Hickman, Winnie Young and Bessie Capen.

Then came recitations by Nettie Flem ing and Elder Blanchard, followed with another violin aolo by Mr. Everest. Af ter a recitation by ftliss Leonard Wil liams, the choir sang another anthem. Every number on the program was a gem, and was appreciated by the large audience present, Many went away unable to gain admittance. At the Baptist church no attempt was mude at display the object eimply be ing to provide merriment for the smaller ones in the Sunday school classes. The time-honored tree waa prettily decorated. Sunday School Su perintendent U W. Swope presided, and Harvey Cross impersonated Santa Clans. There were declamations by Little Misses Ona Raner, Bethe God- bonlu and Gertie llargreaves. 1 his was followed with a trio by three liUle girls.

The children received many presents, candy, etc. John Loder and John Mead were both remembered. On Friday evening a short, but very mteiesting program was presented at the Congregational church. U, II, Dye, superintendent of the Sunday school piesiueu. Alter " America was sung by the nudience, Maunne Mc.Vdam, E'lna Holmau and Louise Huntley sang "We're Three Little Dollies." Lucille Kellogg recited "Merry Christmas," and Lena Gadke sang a solo ; then came a recitation by Louise Walker, a duet by Esda Noblitt and Veva Hart.

OauhVld's class of girls, and a recitation by June Char- man. lhen Santa Clang , impersonate by J atnes Koake, appeared and distub uted the gifts. t On Friday evening St. Paul's Episco pal church was prettily dceorat' d fur the Sunday school exercises and tl:e Christmas tr-n) loomed up grandly.

Some line music was furnished by the choir, consisting of Mrs. 0. V. Ganong,. Miss lino Harding, Dr. and Mrs. Francis Fr email, II. L. Kelly and Wright, under the leadership Neita Lawrence. Mrs. Ira William of Mrs. Wisbait was oiganist. At St. John's Catholic church the services were unusually impressive. No church has a grander and more im pressive Christinas service than the Catholic church. It means a complete iranstiguration of Christ and his teach ings. The solemn masses, vespers and benediction, all tend to inspire tho mind to holier and better things. The choir never sang more grandly and the services never seemed more solemn than on the Christmas just passed. Special Christmas rerviuea were held at the German lmmanuel church on o:Ui h itonlay ana hiiinlt.y.
