Mrs. P. 1. Jones, of

F1m1 the inne 1 n

"I took four bottles,"
Mrs. Jones goes on to
say, "and was not only
greatly relieved, but can
truthfully say that I have
not a pain. . .
" It has now been two
years since I took Cardui,
and I am still in good
health. . . 1 would ad
vise any Woman or girl
to use Cardui who is a
sufferer from any female
trouble."
If you suffer pain caused
from womanly trouble, or
if you feel the need of a
good strengthening tonic
to build up yourrun-down
system, take the advice
of atrs. Jones. Try Car
Sdui. It helped her. e
believe it will help you.

BESTOWING GIFTS IN SECRET
Practice of Putting Out Shoes and
Stockings Resulted From Plan
of St. Nicholas.
Christmas stocklJigs have colho
down to us from the good St: Nicholas,
who was a saint of the fourth century
of the Christian era and was born Dc
ceinhe' Oi, 3.1, in Lyela, Asia Minor.
Vlo was regarded as especially the pa
tron sainiit of c'hildren, ymntlg girls and
sailors. The Christmais _tocking cus
tomi arose as fol lows :
It seems that St. Nicholas, who was
the a'hbibhoii t of lyra, lived In tho

the thIird visit the lather, watching for
his be'nefllactor, Iast hhnself at the fevt
of th sa int anlid cried
"Oh, St. Nicholas, servant of God,
why seek to hide thyself?"
The saint made the father promiso
not to reveal his benefactions. From
this habit of bestowing gifts in secret
and under the cloak of night arose the
practice of putting out shoes or stock
ings for the younger members of the
family so that the good saint would bo
able to fill them without being spied
on.
STAR-BEAMS.
While the stars of Christmas shine,
Lighting the skies,
Let only loving looks
Beat from your eyes.
While the hells of Christmas ring,
Jioyous and clear,
Speak only happy words,
A llMirth andt cheer,
Give rAlly loving gifts,
Anti in love take;
Olanden the poor and sad,
For love's dear sako.

HOLY CITY'S CHRISTMAS TIME
Distressing Scenes Witnessed in
Church of the cativity-Guards
on Duty Day-and Night.
Although nmeh has been writ ten up
on the subject of Christmas in Beth
lehem, writes Harold J. Shepstone in
the Ide World, and we hlve had
glowing accounts of Its gorgeous pro
cesis asnmlld ceremonies, none appears
to have been hold enough to thell the
world of the distressing scene which
may be witnessed In the one spot on
earth where man would expect peace
to reign to that glad season of the
year. Christmas is -a long business at
Bethlehem. First come the Latin cere
moniles, whleh take place on December
25, followed 13 days later by the Greek
services, while 13 days later comes the
Armenian Christmas feast. The serv
ices are held in the Church of the Na
tivity, one of the most remarkable edi
flees in the world. The holy of holies
of the church is the grotto or manger.
It is a small underground chamber,
said to be the actual site of the stable
where the Sadoor was born. Just In
front of the altlr is a silver star, let
into the marble floor, said to mark the
exact srt of the nativity.
In the various ceremonies the bit
terest rivalry exists between the vari
ous sects, anto ea during the ordinary
services Turkish sohliers have to be
on guard hay and night in the church
to prevent s r fe. On special occasions,
such as ,heristas time, an extra force
of soldiers is necessary If order to
be maintained. It is durinug Christmas
fesivities that.1ie church is cleaned.
