Delightful In every way was tha afternoon spent with Mrs. Reynolds and Mrs. Cool ridge, when they entertained the Wednesday club of Albany. Their home was beautifully decorated for the occasion with appropriate trim ming, suggesting the Christmas sea son. In the dining room was a beauti fully decorated Christmas tree, from which each member received a dainty present. After a ahort business ses sion, needlework and conversation were the diversions until a late hour, when delicious refreshments were served by the hostesses, assisted by Mesdames Fisher and Beeson. Little Miss Luclle Reynolds entertained a number of her friends at a Christmas party along with the older guests. Each little guest received a large sack of candy and nuts from the pretty Christmas tree. Those enjqylng the afternoon were the Mesdames Fisher, Beeson. Miller, Cox, Monroe, Huston. Cook, Barnes. Moreland, Allen, Rey nolds, Coolrldge, Conser. Gefeke. Cus ter, Smith and Lucile Reynolds, Edna Fisher, John Conser, Donald Moreland, Russel Smith, Astoria Musical Club. The Friday Musical club of Astoria, met with Mrv Julien Coblentz. The Russian compos ers studied were Mussorgsky and Cesar Oil. and the program was under the leadership of MIbs Faye Ball.

Something unusual was the enter tainment given at Trinity Presbyterian church Friday evening. Beside thfl usual Christmas songs and recitations,' was a beautiful pantomime by a yoang ladies' class, a wreath drill by the in termediate class of girls, which was very nice indeed. A "Mother Goose-' playlet by a number of the children was well rendered. Every child and teacher was presented with a nice lit tle basket of candy and nuts from a large Ferris wheel by Santa Claus himself. The wheel was beautifully decorated in evergreen and tinsel, and was a thing of beauty. An effort wl'l be made to take the wheel to the Pres byterian Chinese mission for next Fri day night. R.US3BLL. You have only to see the poor help less turkeys being fattened for the holiday dinners to learn the lesson of fattening. Young and pretty girls pen themselves up and feed. They can ex pect nothing more nor less than what the poor turkeys get. What Is the use of desiring a fine, clear complexion if you will not con sider it sufficiently when your eyes rest upon candles, pastry and drink? All pimples and facial eruptions are the effects of the stomach and blood. You know when you fill your stomach with rich candles that all that rich sweetness causes acid In the stomach. You know that white flour made Into rich paste is indigestible and you know that liquor Is overheating to the blood. Yet you will not pull yourself together and say "No" to those dan gerous thinss when they are set be fore you. It is but a mind weakness and the women and fools who give in to temptations of the table confess a lack of ordinary common sense. You spend hours reading about help ful health and beauty suggestions. You spend more hours writing for for mulas and plans of exercise and diet. It is all time wasted if you place them before you and say, "Oh, well, I will begin tomorrow"; that tomorrow never comes. The flesh continues to accumu late, the pimples grow thicker and the Indigestion grows more Intense, until you are upon a sick bed and It Is only by force, which costs a doctor's fee. that you are brought back to normal again. I would advise all girls and women who desire to be healthy and charm ing to encourage those desires until their minds are so firmly set that there can be no changing, before they waste their time and the time of busy people who are studying and proving experiments in order to help them. A weak -and vacillating mind gets 9 nowhere In tbla world. Study to steady your desires and purposes; cultivate firmness of character; bo consistent Dd carry out each little act you start before you start another. By that simple system, by degree you will accomplish things In life. Many women and men start several things and finish nothing.' One thing perfectly done proves the greatest pos sibilities. How many persons start to learn music but fall to practice? How many start to learn a language but never study; start to be charitable but never give? Be an entity In the world, not a nonentity.

HANDCUFFS, leg-irons and other personal Impedimenta of the in carcerated have no terrors for Hardeen, "King of Handcuffs," at the Pantages, this week. He slips out of chains, and straightjackets as easy as out of a dress shirt. Whether any in the audience yesterday expected enlightenment on Hardeen's methods to be of possible future value, would be hard to say, but suffice it to say, that all of the capacity audiences were amused and amazed. John T. Doyle and Marlon Wlllard Doyle present an excellent sketch, with F. Cummlngs. "The Danger Line" is their thriller, depicting an election eve incident in which a wealthy capitalist commits murder. The Osakl Japs render gymnastics and gaiety, in a novel manner. Sprltely and dashing Is the slngtng-dancing-jestlng act of Wood, Melville and Phillips. Joe Howard is here again with all of his old-time spontaneous merri ment. Banjos and voices are the specialty of George F. Howard, Ross and Miss Kitty. Blending or nar inoney is wonderfully performed by them. Helen Holmes, "A Lass of the Lumberlands," is in the ninth epi sode of her adventures. Serial Has Serious Message. . Guy W. McConnell believes that, the serial film version of his story, "Pearl of the Army." will demonstrate some of the steps that this country must take if It intends to continue uphold ing the Monroe doctrine. The border mobilisation convinced Mr. McConnell that in spite of the widespread pre paredness propaganda the United States was far from ready to meet a serious crisis. Through the excltlns and mysterious incidents of the new Pathe serial there runs a serious mes sage and that is, "America for the Americans." FERSONAL MENTION Pendleton People Here. Mr. and Mrs. L.

Ore., and nearby towns were treated to a surprise when they attended the Christmas tree party at the school house last Friday night. Music and Christmas carols were fur nished by Miss Spall and pupils, with old-time songs for the grown ups. In tbe play room stood an enormous Christmas tree that C. W. Ross and Frank P.

Games were played by big and little later in the evening. land are finding it Increasingly diffi cult to secure attendance at funerals. The attendance la difficult to .secure In the case of well known members, and when strangers are to be buried a small committee often represents a large lodge. Efforts to secure com mittees from all the lodges of a large order works a hardship upon the small lodges. Men cannot .fford to lose half a day s time to attend and the beautiful ritualistic ceremonies that most of the fraternities have for ex emplification at the grave are too oft en hastened through by a small gath ering, in which the undertakers and their assistants form the majority of those present. The problem is a diffi cult one to solve.

Charles G. Carnahan has been appointed carrier on route No. 1 out of Roseburg. Or., to succeed Samuel G. Thorn .xrv Annual Clearance Joirial Womaivs C aleidar By Vella Winner. NEED FOR A NEW COM- MISSION 8me forenoon, when there is no other elec tion, I propose to Invoke the initiative providing for a commission to frame social excuses. The general run of people have so little originality. "It would give me the greatest pleasure to be present at your luncheon, on the seventy-second of Decuary, but on that date I am ex pecting to leave for Roseburg." "It is with extreme regret that I must in form you of my inability to be present on the eleventeenth of next year, as on that date 1 am expecting a relative from the east, and as I have not seen him for twenty years and his train will arrive at the very hour named for your dinner, I cannot come." And so forth. The relatives and friends from the east, poor things: are worked to death long before arrival in thla beautiful, green land of rest. In fact, did they know how much responsibil ity they would have to shoulder, it is doubtful If they would have the cour age to start on their long Journey. Now what I propose is a commis sion, committed to invent new and original excuses. Think how delight ful it would be to receive a genuinely plausible excuse for the absence of someone and better still what a Joy to be able to give an order for a set of ready-made excuses for an entire season excuses warranted to fit any and every possible occasion! To be sure, the commission charged with framing such matters would probably die of overwork before Its term expired but there would always be others ready to take the place. The examination for such positions would, of necessity, be purely civil service yes more than civil suave, urbane, polished. Either let us have such a commission or let someone start an excuse card plant. Printed form: Owing to (reasons va ried to suit) it will be (inserted In own handwriting, either -possible' or impossible,' or print in the 'possible' and write In the 'lm' when wanted). Signed: In case the commission in itiative does not pass, and no one starts an excuse factory, how would it do for us to inaugurate a fashion of Just sending a plain "no," or a "yes" in response to invitations, there by saving much brain fag and laying up for ourselves many credit marks on the score of truth? DIVINITY FUDGE m pan put 2-3 cup water, 3 cups granulated su gar and one cup corn sirup. Let cook until the mixture will make a soft tall when tested in cold water. Twen ty minutes after first saucepan has been started, into a second one put H cup of water and one cup granu lated sugar and let cook. When this mixture threads it Is done. This will very nearly the same time as the first is in proper condition. When the first is ready the mixture should be poured slowly over the whites of S eggs beaten stiff and beat continually. When it is well mixed and thick, turn in slowly the contents of the second saucepan, still beating it constantly and stir in a cup of walnuts, chopped. Turn out on buttered tin and cut when hard. This sounds fussy, but If followed carefully, it is delicious.

THE HOME PHYSICIAN A laxative should only be used in cases of emergency in order that the overloaded bowels may be relieved. Permanent cure of tho trouble must be secured by other meana The best means at our disposal is a proper diet. This diet consists of fruits, es pecially prunes, whole wheat or bran bread, plenty of succulent vegetables, and very little meat or concentrated foods. Exercise in the open, massage of the abdomen, sleeping on a sleep ing porch, and a morning bath with a brisk rub are all helpful. Above all, regular habits should be established, and the periods should not be varied from. Most cases of constipation may be gradually relieved by such a treat ment. There are some forms of con stipation due to malformation or mis placement of the colon or other Intes tines. Such cases require the atten tion of a surgeon.
