Lawyer Gains First
Hand Experience
Kenmore, O., Dec. 8.—A f t e 1
r,pending two hours behind the ban
In the local Jail, Attorney Cecal
Hunsicker says he understands now
why unfortunates sent there are sc
prompt In sending (or him. He iE
a popular counsellor for malofactori
of greater and lesser wealth here
It was his last client who got
the lawyer in duress. Hunsickei
went to confer with Joe Voditch,
held on a liquor charge. Chief ol
Police Harry Pou'«on escorted fit
attorney to the Jail and then locked
him in. Immediately thereafter the
chief was summoned to testify In
court. Later he was called to the
telephone and, with one thing and
pnother, he forgot all about Hun
sicker.
The outraged barrister pounded
on the bars of the jail till his knuck
les were sore and shouted till his
throat ached. Eventually a police
sergeant heard him yelling for re
lease and took him before Mayor
Qoodman for an explanation. Hun
sicker did not mince words, and the
Mayor cut his expletives short with
a curt dismissal.
Hunsickor says the "Keep Out"
sign which adorns the jail entrance
possesses a sinister meaning for him
new.
A 930,000,000 CUT
The Government is now spending
$50,000,000 a year on its merchant
ships. President Harding presented
to Congress a plan by which this ex
pense can be cut to $30,000,000 a
year with better service. His ad
dress on the subject, delivered on
the second day of the special ses
sion, should be read by every citizen.

HEN Ansgarius preached the
White Christ to the vikings of
the North, so runs the legend
of the Christmas tree, the Lord sent
his three messengers, Faith, Hope, and
Love, to help light the first trek Seek
ing one that should be high as hope,
wide as love. &nd that bore the sign
of the cross on every hough, they chose
the balsam fir, which best of all the
trees In the forest met the require
ments. Perhaps that Is a good reason
why there clings about the Christmas
tree in my old home that which has
preserved it from being swept along in
the flood of senseless luxury that has
swamped so many things In our money
mad day. At least so It was then.
Every time I see a' tree studded with
electric lights, garlands of tinsel gold
festooning every branch, and hung
with the hundred costly knickknacks
the storekeepers Invent year by year
"to make Trade," until the tree its ?lf
disappears entirely under Its burden.
I have a feeling that a fraud has been
practiced on the kindly spirit of Yule.
Wax candles are the only real thing
for a Christmas tree, candles of wax
that mingle their perfume with that of
the burning fir, not the by-product of
some coal-oil or other abomination.
What If the boughs do catch fire?
They can be watched, and too many
candles are tawdry, anyhow. Also,
red apples, oranges and old-fashioned
cornucopias made of colored paper,
and made at home, look a hundred
times better and fitter In the green;
and so do drums and toy trumpets and
waid-horns, and a rocking horse that
need not have cost forty dollars.
Washing Windows.
If windows are washed when the
sun Is shining on them they dry before
there Is time to polish them, and look
streaky. Always dust windows before
washing them. Add a little ammonia
to the water to make the glass shine

CRYING FOR HELP
Lots of It in Skagway But Doily
Growing Less.
The kidneys often cry for help.
Not another organ In the whole
body more delicately constructed.
Not one more important to hea'th.
The kidneys are the filters of the
blood.
When they fail the blood becomes
foul and poisonous.
There can bo no health where
there is poisoned biood.
Backache is one of the frequent
indications of kidney trouble.
It is often the kidneys' cry for
help. Heed it.
Read what Doan's Kidney Pills
have done for overworked kidneys.
Proof of merit in the following
statement:
Z. H. Brott, Elgin, Ore., says: "I
had kidney complaint and suffered
from a dull backache and sharp
pains across my kidneys. Mornings.
I was lamo and stiff and the action
of my kidneys was irregular, being
at times too free. I read of Doan's
Kidney Pills and used them. They
r;d me of the backaches and put my
kidneys in good order. Three boxes;
of Doan's cured me."
