Phone 119 WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 25, 19IS CHRISTMAS. * Once again, in its appointed season, the cycle of time has completed its course, and another year passes into history. Nineteen hundred and eight een, full of deeds of mankind in which human life was cheap, full of the horrors of international warfare, has run its race, and in common with the rest of the years that are passed, has drawn to its destined end. ^ It has been a year of solemn and significant change. Amid all of the events that" have attended its course, none are of greater import than the fastly transpiring scenes that mark its final close. Twelve months ago the future was filled with potents of ill omen to the most optimistic, hut in ^ God's ordered way and in His appoint ed time, with the ebb of the *year there passes forever into oblivion the nable war clouds that for four weary years have enshrouded the cause of humanity and civilization.With the dawn of the Christmas season comes the light of peace, and the season that commemorates the birth of the Prince of Peace fulfills the prophesy of old 'TPeace on earth, good will towards men." ; A retrospective glance into the year that is passing reveals many accomplishments of which, as a people, we j are justly proud. First of all, we j , . note the realization of the high purpose to which we of America, engag- j ed in a world war, have carried our ideals, our mission of ministry to hu- j inanity, and in the attainment of that j ideal, destiny seems to have decreed to us the peculiar position to point the way for an advanced civilization among" the nations of the earth. In that lofty endeavor, let it he our solemn prayer that America may continue her mission guided by the spirit of Him whose nativity the Christmas season marks. With the advent of nineteen hundred and nineteen, as we fashion the blades "?f war-fare into the plough of peace, ? s the heroes without heroics who enlisted in the cause of victorious democracy, return to the walks of quiet honor and industry, let us not be unmindful of the significance of a Life which began over nineteen centuries ago?a I^fe whose ideal was the mission of service, a Life whose sum total of 4eed was comprehended in the one, word?love. THE COMPLIMENTS OF THE SEASON". In this season oV good will we take this opportunity to extend to the read ,! ers of the Dispatch-News our wishes j for a Merry Christmas and a Happy I and Prosperous New Year.We trust that their measures of happiness and J success may be full to the over-flow- j i*g happiness and success may b# full o the over-flowing. ."We are keenly appreciative of the forbearance our readers and patrons "have evidenced during- the past year. I "We have labored under numerous, ( / and sometimes almost overwhelming difficulties, but invariably the short-comingrs on our part have been borne fry our friends with patience. As a token of our appreciation we promise te endeavor to give better service for the coming year. With the end of I t -Vie war many of the difficulties that have continually confronted the issuing of a newspaper will cease, and we hope, during the next twelve months, to publish a paper which shall be truly representative of the spirit and progress of our people. COLUMBIA THEATRE. "Flo Flo." * "Show me a woman's clothes," said Mi^ Cordelia Kaager, who is with *Fl<J-Flo, the musical comedy that makes an expose of the lingerie shops and 111 tell you her past, present and future. v A -well known health enthusiast once said tl.at after he got a glimpse of a woman's shoes and what she wore on her head for a hat, he could tell just what and how much was in that head. "A woman depends on her milliner's taste for her hats; on the man ^ho sells her boots for her boots. But no woman ever buys the most gos earner lingerie or the most filmy chiffon without adding some personal touches of her own. And even the woman who can afford to s'k:-. in the most, exclusive shops. pef< :\s to | conroct something toil of a y::rd of chiffon ard a motif of lace for h-d'ast. j Bo I say that a rowan puts k- r ; !

Common-Sense, Simple, Nevee Fails. You can tear out your corns and suffer, or you can peel off your corns and smile. The joy-peeling way is the "Gets-It" way. It is the only hap py, painless way in the world.

The corn finally loosens off from the toe, so that you cr.n peel it off with your fingers in one piece, painlessly like peeling- a banana. "Groat stuff, wish I'd done that before. Theres only one corn-peel er?Gets-It-." Toes wrapped up big with tape and bandages, toes squirming from irritating salves, iit's all a barbarity. Toes wounded by razors and knives, that's butchery, ridiculous unnecessary, dangerous. Use "GetsIt," the liberty way?simple, painless always sure. Take no chances. Get; "Gets-It."
