'e 1 Christmas afternoon was a Ir t {time at the Wells farm. The; 'dren were kept out of the parity all athe forenoon. When the deaf Was opened they all exclaimed with delight. [The tables were covered like I coun- ', ter in a store, with all sorta of delight- ful things. To each crtiele a narrow ribbon was attached and carried across the table to hang over the sides like a fringe, the ends finished with a {round shining button. There were five Iliirtrent colors, 3 color for each child. Susie Was invited to begin by drawing toward her any one of the blue rib- bons, and the article at the end of the, blue-ribbon was here. The children; took turns, each seizing one of the) ribbon ends, and carefully pulling-it} toward them. If the present at the‘ end of the ribbon .was large _ and, heavy like a train of cars or a box ofl blocks, it made all the more fun. There was a great uproar when George, fol- lowing his color, a red ribbon, all across the table, found that it led to a new sled that was hidden under the' table. Another smaller table had gifts for the older ones with pretty, cards,‘and still another table-when a snowy cover was lifted, displayed at feast of sandwiches, fruit, candy, cake, set out in readiness for the ehihirtn's) supper. . _ l So the day ended, and as the chil- dren were going to their night's rest George said, "I think this 'is the best and merriest Christmas we have ever had, and I'm awfully glad we gave the birds our Christmas tree? a 'He prayed: best who loveth best All things both great and small, For the dear God who loveth us, He made and loveth IH’."

Canning meats 3nd: Venn tables dystroya the Human in lanai measure. . Vitamins are not manufactured in the animal body, and such of them as are contained in fresh meat, milk, but. ter and eggs are derived from the vegetable tood of the animal or the fowl. The diSeaseo above mentioned are not the only one; caused by a tie tieiettey of viuminesrthey are seen only occasionally when there is an al- most total lack of the essential vita- mine. The usual manifestation is ill health-poor appetite. hmuiaches, dya- pepsla. intestinal indigestion, neural- gia and neuritis, sleeplemness, fatigue after slight exertion, anaemia. ueurao- thenia and so on. There are at least three ditterettt vitaminea that are classed broadly by the diseases 'that the lack of them causes. Rickcus results from the lack ot A vitamlne. berlberi from the lack ot B vitamlne. and scurvy from the latrir of C vitamlne. It is though; that the soul-led "hunger dmpsy" is caused.by a: defieieney of D vitamine, bit that is pure speculation as yet. It is dimcult to give a satisfactory definitioa of vitaminea. for their chemi- cal composition has not yet been dis- covered, and we know them and can classify them only by _their effects and by the evil results to men and animals when they are absent from the food. We know only that they are substances contained in small amounts in fresh foods, and that they are es- sential to normal nutrition; they are diaerent from the energy-producing princlpl-ee in food-protein., fats and carbohydrates Perhaps the best ex. planation is that given by I. recent English writer, who likens them to the spark that ignites the fuel mixture of a gasoline engine, the spark, he “ye. is ot no use without the fuel, or the fuel without the spark. The two subjects that are engaging the atteeithm of medical men more per- haps than any others at the pruent time are vitamins: and the internal mtgrretionsr, or hormones. And the two are in a manner one,_ior it bu been found that tho proper action of the glands that give origin to the internal secretions depends largely upon a, suf- tieieat quantity of vitamin“ in the food.
