For Joyful Cough
Relief Try This
Home Mixture
SEWING CIRCLE PATTERNS
This splendid recipe is used by mil
lions every year, because it makes
such a dependable, effective medicine
for coughs due to colds. It is so easy
to mix—a child could do it.
From any druggist, get Hi ounce«
of Pinex. a special compound of prov
en ingredients, in concentrated form,
well-known for its soothing effect on
throat and bronchial irritations.
Then make a syrup by stirring two
cups of granulated sugar and one cup
of water a few moments, until dis
solved. No cooking needed. Or you can
use corn syrup or liquid honey, in
stead of sugar syrup.
Put the Pinex into a pint bottle and
fill up with your syrup. This gives you
a full pint of cough medicine, very
effective and quick-acting, and you
get about four times as much for
your money. It never spoils, and Is
very pleasant—children love it.
You'll be surprised by the way it
takes hold of coughs, giving quick
relief. It loosens the phlegm, soothes
the irritated membranes, and helps
clear the air passages. Money refunded
if it doesn’t please you in every way.
Big Program
Refreshments, a thin sandwich
and two olives, had just been
served at the town dance in the
hill country.
‘‘Is your program filled?” asked
a local Romeo of a hillbilly belle
when the dancing was resumed.
“Filled!” glared the girl. “Look
here, young feller, it takes more
than a skinny sandwich and two
green plums to fill my program.”
Tricks of the Trade
The night was dark and the
hour was late as a solitary way
farer passed along the deserted
street. Suddenly three slinking
figures emerged from the sha
dows, marked their prey, and
then attacked him.
Three to one is powerful odds,
but the wayfarer held his own.
One by one his assailants landed
with a thud on the ground, bat
tered and bruised, their clothing
torn.
A policeman hurried up and
surveyed the wreckage.
“Fine work!” he said, address
ing the hero, who was calmly
lighting a cigarette. “Ju-jitsu?”
“No,” answered the hero. “Rail
way porter.”
You can breeze through a good
part of your Christmas shopping
by simplifying your gift list. It's
probably a fact that a good many
of your friends enjoy cigarette or
pipa smoking. You can easily
please these friends by ordering
several cartons of mild, mellow
Camels and pound tins of rich
tasting Prince Albert from a local
dealer. Both these popular gifts
come ready-wrapped in gay holi
day dress. No other gift wrap
ping is necessary. There’s even
space for your personal greeting.
Save time and energy this Christ
mas season by giving coo], mild
Camels and mellow Prince Albert
Smoking Tobacco. (Adv.)
Beware Coughs
From Common Colds
That HANG ON
Creoniuhion relieves promptly because
it goes right to the seat of the trouble
to help loosen and expel germ laden
phlegm and aid nature to soothe and
heal raw, tender, inflamed bronchial
mucous membranes. Tell your druggist
to sell you a bottle of Creomuhion
with the understanding you must like
the way it quickly allays the cough
or you are to have your money back.

Christmas Toys
For Every Need
Be a careful shopper when you
select Christmas toys.
Just as there are different types
of toys for each age level, so there
are toys that serve different pur
poses in each age group.
There are manipulative toys, toys
for physical development, balance
and skill, toys for dramatic, imag
inative play, toys to teach arts and
handicrafts, and toys to encourage
an interest in nature, science, hob
bies and pets.
A child needs some of each in the
form best adapted to his age level.
Toys for babies should be selected
primarily from the standpoint of
safety. They should have no sharp
edges, no loose parts small enough
to be swallowed. Animals with eyes
glued or pinned on, toys covered
with poisonous paint or made of
glass or china are taboo. The best
choice is something that can be
washed when it becomes soiled.

FLORAL DESIGNS
A modern Chrismas dinner is a
mere “snack” compared to the
royal Yule banquets of Kings and
Queens in history.
For one of Edward Ill’s Christ
mas feasts 2.000 oxen were pre
pared. The guests ate as much as
they could and the vast leftovers
were distributed to anyone who
happened to come along. Edward
was the first English king to em
ploy French cooks for a Christmas
t, .!>'
When Henry III spent Christmas
of 1241 at Gloucester, he ordered
the sheriff to buy 20 large salmon
to put into pies for the Christmas
dinner. Richard II feasted 10.000
people at a banquet in 1399. He
kept more than 1,000 cooks, each
of whom specialized in one kind
of food.

Yule Record Begins
In Fifth Century
There is no mention of a Chris
tian observance of December 25 as
Christmas before the fifth century.
There is. in fact, no record to in
dicate what date Jesus was born.
Various researchers have set the
day as January 6. March 25, May
20, April 19 and November 17. In
order to win Christian converts
away from their observance of the
pagan mid-winter festival, early
churchmen induced them tb ob
serve the birth of Christ Jesus at
that time instead. Thus December
25 came to be established as Christ
mas.
Real Santa Claus
A Youthful Saint
The name of Santa Claus is mere
ly slurring the Dutch San Nicholas,
which is. of course, St. Nicholas.
American children are probably the
only ones who say it exactly that
way.
Nicholas was an actual person.
He was Bishop of Myra, in Lycia,
Asia Minor, in the first part of the
fourth century. He was also the
youngest bishop in the history of the
church.
From the day of his birth Nicho
las revealed his piety and grace.
He refused on fast days to take
the natural nourishment of a child.
But Nicholas was not a barefoot
recluse vowed to poverty. His fa
ther was a wealthy merchant, and
his riches enabled him to be a dis
penser of the good things of life.
The feast of St. Nicholas was
originally celebrated on December
6. Later, when church people in the
late Middle Ages tried to suppress
the festivities which grew up
around the Boy Saint's day, his
festival came to be associated with
Christmas day.
Hang Stockings
For Santa Claus
Why have stockings come to be
a traditional receptacle for Christ
mas gifts’
Although historians can give no
authentic answer, they point out
that children's stockings are usual
ly hung by the chimney to keep
warm or dry out, so it was natural
that Santa Claus should pick them
as the place in which to deposit
g.Il
in certain regions of France it is
the shoe that is put out on Christ
mas Eve Some authorities say
that shoes and stockings were put
near the fireplace for the same
reason that an old boot was asso
ciated with a wedding— in order
to bring good luck and drive awav
evil spirits.

QUESTION: Is there any rem
edy for crumbly brick?
ANSWER: A partial remedy is ’
to give the bricks two coats of a
cement base paint, to be bought
from a dealer in mason supplies.
This is a powder to mix with wa
ter. This will protect the surface
of the brick only; it will not hard
en them throughout. Very poor
bricks should be replaced with a
harder burned variety.
QUESTION: I intend to put in a
hew cement walk in the gangway, I
and need to know the amount of j
sand, gravel and cement that I ■
will need.
ANSWER: There is much more
to be said about laying a sidewalk
than the proper mixture of ce
ment, etc. For complete informa
tion on laying concrete walks as
well as proportions and amount
of necessary material, ask the
Portland Cement association, 33
West Grand avenue. Chicago, to
send you a copy of their booklet
on this subject.
QUESTION: We had planned to
use a creosote stain on a white
cedar rustic fence, but understand
that this would be injurious to the
adjacent shrubbery. What type of
paint would you recommend?
ANSWER: As the cedar is re
sistant to deterioration, it will
hardly be necessary to apply any
kind of finish unless you have a
special reason for doing so. A
liquid wood preservative that can
be brushed on could be used in
stead of the creosote, or else a
good spar varnish.
