Thanksgiving has passed and the
Christmas holidays are upon us.
Christmas is still a ‘'Merry Christ
mas" for us, although the men in
the trenches in fighting Europe
will be able to look backward to
many another Christmas which
was merrier for them and, we may
hope, look forwa-d to other merry
Christmases to come. There is
just one thing that will go to make
cur own Christmas a more merry
one, and that is for the time being
to forget ourselves and become a
"regular guy.” A regular guy is
an open-hearted, open-handed, de
cent sort of a fellow who believes 1
that others have a right to some
happiness on earth and is willing to
do his share to help them get it.
It doesn’t cost much to be a regu- J i
lar guy, because what we do 1
doesn't decide our status so much
as the spirit with which we do it. 1
Suppose you are so poor that you
can't afFord to give even a penny
away. You can smile, can't you? i
You can hesitate by a beggar in
the street and wish him a "merry
Christmas!” You can feel in your
heart that this is a season of good
will to men, and show it in your
bearing toward your fellowmen I
If the world has been good to you. ;
now is the time to repay your debt. ]
Give something to someone who ;
needs it. You don't have to give (
much, but, if necessary, make a
sacrifice. Don’t let Christmas go
by without becoming human, if
only for a minute. A nickle here,
a dime there.rag doll for a little girl
who never had a doll, an overcoat
for a little fellow who brings your
payer who hasn't got an overcoat
won’t mean much to you, and it
might make the Christmas merry
for the little one. Loosen up! This
is Christmas! Ee a regular guy.

The Successful Man.
The successful men are they
who have worked while their neigh
bors' minds were vacant or occu- '
pied with passing trivialities; who
have been acting while others are
wrestling with indecision. They !
are the men who have tried to read
all that has been written about
their craft; who have learned from
the masters and fellow-craftmen
of experience, and profited there
by; who have gone about with
their eyes open, noting the good
points of other men’s work, and
considered how they might do bet
ter. Thus they have carried
themselves above mediocrity, and 1
in striving to do things the best
they could, have educated them
selves in the truest manner.

Who Am 17
I am more powerful than the
combined armies of the world.
I have destroyed more men than
all the wars of the world.
J am more deadly than bullets,
and l have wrecked more homes
than the mightiest of siege guns.
1 steal, in the United States
alone, over $300,000,000 each
yaar.
I spare no one. and I find my
victims among the rich and poor
alike: the young and old: the strong
and weak: widows and orphans
snow me.
I loom up in such proportions
that I cast my shadow over every
field of labor from the turning of
the grinestone to the moving of
svery railroad train.
1 massacre thousands upon
:housands of wage-earners in a
year.
1 lurk in unseen places, and do
most of my work si'ently. You
ire warned against me but you
leed not.
1 am relentless. I am every
where: in the home, on the streets,
n the factory, at railroad crossings
md on the sea.
I bring sickness, degradation and
ieath, and yet few seek to avoid
tie.
I destroy, crush or maim; I give
lothinp. but take all.
I am your worst enemy.
1 am CARELESSNESS.

Worrying.
Disasters never leave us. there's
always something grievous that we
can worry o'er; there’s something |
going balky, there's always some-'
thing rocky, to justify a roar. The
parlor door is squeaking, the kitch
en roof is leaking, there's trouble
with the range; the cow is some
where straying, the h“n has ceased
her laying, the dog has got the
mange. There’s always something,
trying, there’s cause for tears and
sighing, if you're that way inclined,
if you are fond of weeping, if you
are keeping a sore spot on your
mind. If you are always searching
for Worry, where she's perching,
you'll find her. every trip; she will
not try to lose you, she 11 badger
and abuse you until you lose your
grip. But if you have decided that
grief should be derided and chivied
from your door, the little daily
troubles will seem as thin as bub
bles—too small to make you sore.
When there's an all wool sorrow,
small comfort can we borrow from
optomistic sharps, who say that j
woes don't matter, and bore us J
with their chatter, and twang their
sunshine harps. But we can learn
to laugh at the little griefs and
chaff at the trifling sores and
smarts; our faith on goodness pin
ning, let's face the old world grin
ning. and carry cheerful hearts.

In modern war it now costs or
the average about $ 15,000 to kill
a man. In the Boer war this ex
pense ran up to nearly $40,000.
Mica is the name applied to a
group of metals which are noted as
being easily split into sheets.
These sheets may be so thin that
1000 of them are required to make
an inch in thjqknesg. It is found
in granite and quartz and is mined
in Norway, Sweeden, New Hamp
shire and North Carolina. It is
transparent, will stand heat and is
used in place of glass w^ere there

®i# hundred thousand persons
die annually from the preventable
diseases in the United States, while
1,500,000 are needlessly ill.
Sago is a nutritious starohy sub
stance attained from the pith of
several kinds of palms growing
mostly in New Guiana, Borneo and
Simatha. Each tree yields about
600 pounds of pith. The natives
of these islands make a meal pot
tage and bread from it. Sago is
used mostly in America and Europe
for making starch and feeding cat- i
tie.
Aside from the meat of the co
coanut, the tree has many other
products. The natives of the Pa
cific islands use the roots and buds
as food, make wine from the sap
and weave blankets and thatch
roofs with the dried leaves. The
shells of the nuts are used as cups
and the husk from the shell is made
into matting, rope. etc.

Tell us the news for the News
Armed Citizenry.
The suggestion that the people of
Ihe United States form clubs and com
panies for ritle practice and familiar
ize themselves in the use of weapons
in readiness for protection in case of
war is only now in (lie form of the
weapons in which we are asked to be
icme skilled. In an epistle to the sher
iff of T.ondon. dated dune 12, 1349. 969
years ago, Edward III sets forth how
"the people of our realm, as well of
good quality as mean, have common
ly in their sports before these times
exercised their skill of shooting ar
rows; whence it is well known that
honor and profit have accrued to our
whole realm, and to us, by the help
af God, no small assistance in our
w arlike acts. Now, however, the said
skill being, as it were, wholly laid
aside,” the king commands the sheriff
to make public proclamation that
"every ono of the said city, strong in
body, at leisure rimes on holidays, use
in their recreations bows and arrows,
af pellets and bolts, and learn and ex
ercise the art of shooting, forbidding
all and singular on our behalf feat
they do not after any manner app»-y
themselves to the tin-owing of S*T.nes,
wood or iron, handball, football, bUn
ly ball, ettmbuck or cock fighting, nor
aueh like vain plays which have no
profit In them.” Cftttihuck or cam
mock was the, ancient name for
hockey or shinny.
More Asbestos Produced.
The asbestos-producing industry of
the United States is growing. For
many years we have been the greatest
manufacturers and users of asbestos,
drawing our raw material from Can
ada, but we are now getting some ex
mihmt ttber in our own country. The
most notable feature of the asbestos
ndustry In 1914 was the development
jf a new field in Arizona, which is
’urnishing a grade of fiber that com
pares very favorably with the Cana
iian. As the mineral occurs in the
3rand canyon it is frequently desig
nated Grand Canyon asbestos, al
lhough the deposit in that remarkable
natural wonder is not yet producing
asbestos commercially. For electric
Installation the Arizona asbestos is
?ven better than tile Canadian product,
For it contains a lower percentage of
iron. Asbestos of a low grade has
been produced in Georgia for many

Will be more cheering and the spirit of "Peace on
Ea-th. Good Will to Men" will be more manifest to you if
you have a snug bank account to tide you over this season
of much giving.
We would not encourage anyone to be “stingy," and
we would not think of asking you to deprive the young
folks of Christmas joys. Give them their little pleasures
now, but do not forget to provide for future Christmases.
Lay up something for the future, or the time may come
when you will have to disappoint them. Sickness may (3
come or the loss of your job may happen at any time when P
it would be a calamity indeed.
Think not only of their pleasure and comfort at
Christmas time, but for all the year round. Make sure that
they will get what they deserve at all times by saving a
part of everything you earn and banking it to provide for L
your own and your family's future needs. We will help P
you save.
