Come Around and Look Around URGES PEOPLE TO FIGHT CATARRH WITH SIMPLE HOME MADE REMEDY Can Make Pint at Home and Costs Little, Says Leading Druggist of Covington,Ky., Who Has Made Special Study of Catarrh. Says: Inflamed Nostrils Invite Influenza People who say that catarrh is a disease not to be taken serious ly are harshly rebuked by a Ken tucky druggist who has for years been much interested in the growth of this loathsome, yet al together too common disease. He claims that the sore, tender, inflamed membrane of the nos trils and throat is a nrolifl.c breeding ground for germs—not only the germs of Influenza, but many other kinds as well. If peonle would only stop ex perimenting for two weeks and try a simple remedy made of Mentholized Arcine mixed with enough boiled water to make a full pint, half of the catarrh in this country would be abolished. It's really no joke for people w the dentrifice that contains the properties recommended as ideal by United States Army Dental Surgeons ft ft $ FRIDAY EVENING, Across the great gray wastes of time , For men go up and men go down, But follow still the star! —Clinton Scollard. Bethlehem is real. It is a place to which travelers may go. 1 have been there myself within the past six months. Myriads of devout pil grims from this western hemisphere will turn their steps thither as soon as the present paralysis of normal life is cured. New highways have been opened by the war: so that one mar now go from London to Bethlehem by rail, with only two brief ferrages on the way. Bethlehem is in itself not the most beautiful of Judean towns: probably that distinction to-day be longs to Ain Karint. where Eliza beth dwelt and John the Baptist, the kinsman of Jesus, was borti: and where Mary went to visit her cousin before the birth of the babe of either. To-day, Bethlehem has . who don't know about this simple recipe to be constantly sniffing and snuffling, blowing and hawk ing, when all these obnoxious symptoms as well as the foul dis charge can be made to disappear in a few day... Ask for three-quarters of an ounce of Menthoiized Arcine— that's all you need and after you have mixed it with enough boiled water to make a pint, gargle the throat twice daily and snuff or spray some up the nostrils, as di ■ rected. The tender nostrils will soon lose their soreness, heal up, and be clean and healthy. Important Reminder: Just as soon as anyone in the family gets a cold in the head, check it at once with this same medicine. s lost much of its Oriental character, because of the many modern Chris tlon buildings in it, which devotion and missionary zeal have reared. The population is mostly Christian; and the main industries are the working in mother-of-peal and olive-wood. Betliiehemites are dis- : tinctive in both dress and appear- ! ance. probably owing to Crusader blood and influence. A IVII Picture of Betlilelieiii ' j On a terraced hillside, with the , limestone rock outcropping, and ! vineyards tucked away on tiny ; t ledges, and olive trees growing 011 j j the stormy soil, is built the "little I town of Bethlehem." with its gray, ' | square, flat-tlooted limestone houses [ i standing almost solidly along nar- j row streets. Through the doorways j t the visitor from Jerusalem, which j is only tlve miles away, may see I the men and women toiling at prim- I itive lathes amid the dust of moth- 1 er-of-pearl. Alas, the workers are j not many now. for war and starva- ; tion took a heavy toll of Bethlehem. The shops where mother-of-pearl articles are sold are few and mea ger. and their principal sale is of j i regimental badges to the British 1 soldiers. British troops guard the town of Bethlehem to-day, and keep watch ! by the manger. For long years Turkish soldiers guarded the Church ! 0111 the Nativity, which houses the ecclesiastics of three warring Chris tian faiths—Greeks, Lit ins and Ar menians. Now a genial Tommy stands at the entrance to the erypt j ! containing the manger. "To keep tlie priests from scrappin', and front ■ swipin' each other's lamps." lie 1 says. Sectarian strife shows at its j worst at the Church of the Nativity 1 and the Church of the Holy Sepul- ( chre. The oldest Christian edifice in the ! world covers the traditional and universally accepted site of the manger. On this hillside was the village khan, where Mary and • Joseph lodged, and the stable, as is , still the usage, was tlie cave room cut into the limestone, with the , manger hewn out of the living rock, i Outwardly, tlie church is unprepos-| sensing, with a door so small that it j | admits but one person at a time, j Within, the partition which eccle siastical jealousy had erected has ; . been removed by British influence, | j and the proportions of the church 1 1 as it was in Crusader times may be j I seen. The entrance to the subter- I ranean manger-crypt is down j i through a side-chapel. The Storied Hills While the town of Bethlehem has j entirely changed, the surrounding - j scenery remains the same. These ; | are the very hills upon which the! shepherds watched tlieir tloeks by | night. The fields across which we ; looked at a glorious moon arising i above the mountains of Moab. be- j ; vond the opalescent waters of -the bead Sea. were once flooded with a j j celestial glow more wonderful than | the sunsets we have watched here. 1 Silent now at eventide, the echoing • | hills then resounded to the strains | Of an angelic chorus. 1 It was here, on the very spot where we stand, that the greatest of ; messages, straight from heaven, was I heard by a group of workingmen: j "Glory to God in the highest. And on earth, peace among men, j in whom ke is well pleased." : i To the traveler standing on a Beth- ! lehent hillside the sweet old story j seems newly real. It was a place- ! i event, as well as a universal mes- j sage. When we localize it, we un- I derstand more vividly its ever-pres- i ! ent meaning. The old carol seems | like an interpretation written yes- ; terday: ' "It came upon the midnight clear. That glorious song of old. From angels bending near the ea rtli To touch their harps of gold; "Peace on the earth, good will to ; men. From heaven's all-gracious i King:' The world in solemn stillness lay, ; To hear the angels sing. "Still through the cloven skies they : come With peaceful wings unfurled, And still their heavenly music floats 1 O'er all the weary world: Above its sad and lowly plains They bend on hovering wing. 1 And ever o'er its Babel-sounds The blessed angels sing. j "And ye. beneath life's crushing i load. Whose forms are bending low. Who toil along the climbing way j With painful steps and slow. — ! I.ook now! for glad and golden I hours Come swiftly on the wing: 1 O rest beside the weary road. And hear the angels sing. "For 10. the dais are hastening on, By prophet bards foretold, When with the ever-circling years ! Comes round the age of gold; i When peace shall over all the I earth Its ancient splendors fling. And the whole world give back the ] song Which now the angels sing." Christmas Help For To-day Whatever makes that first Christ- J mas real and near is a message for I our own dut ; for we need to hear, i I above the clash of class, the strife I of strikes, the pandemonium of ; , profiteering, and the harried hunt j lor happiness, the old. old truth ! Ming by the angels over Bethlehem's i little hills, that the Peacemaker has ! come: and that Goodwill has been j incarnated in a manger. That is the i j most m-esent and practical and im- i ' portant of all words for our day. j To find a solution of our riddles, tlie ! calming of our unrest, the. way of | fight in our hour of darness. we ; need but to go back to Bethlehem j and find the reality of Christmas. i i Our time's turmoil takes a thou- 1 ! sand forms: its real need is only 1 ; one. Camouflaged by humanity's 1 1 heotie pursuit of pleasured is a | ,ieep-flowing desire for real peace— i j nence among men and peace in the human heart. We are weary of war: and much of our currents rest- ! lessness is only a reaction against its work and its woes. We think we I want easier lives and pleasanter j times and greater prosperity; in I truth, our need is for peace of 1 spirit and for an era of good will I among all men. T'ntil our overwrought and light- j seeking world follows the shepherds j *0 the place of the Christ it will not | be healed of its fret and its fears. 1 The love of God. made personnel and near In Christ. Is alone sufficient to j satisfy the present quest Tf red- j sta'ned P.ussia. distraught Europe ' and bewildered Asia, and our per turbed America eould only hear, as if for the first time and in fullest reality, the message of Christmas, thrv would not need revolution or Bolshevism or any of the desperate remedies lhv are now seeking.
