Today the nerve specialist is consulted in prmtically all cases in which the patient's behavior is ab- normal.

And what else would we ask of Christmas? Memories oL other Christmases through the years. early ones now dimming. youthful and mature. Rotracing our way back put every signpost and turn of the way. so that in spite of the dark years of war. and the trou- bles and tragedies, the sorrows and regrets of this old world, in spite of lean years -- or better. we can remember with a deep sense of gratitude that altogether our Christmasses have been good. And choosing from these "whatsoever things are lovely" we should beg these as our gifts this season. we should like the family to gather in on the eve of the Day. after every last item had been attended to. last animals fed and bedded in the old beamed stable... and the silence which prevails on that night. and whichr is so expectant to young and older has descended. And James in -his slippers had come to his old armchair. with the small ones wandering, inquir- lng, so much taken up with mom- ent of it. and perhaps not able to grasp its signiflcence. And James. as he has done before would sug- gest: "Perhaps you would get the Book, Ellen. and read to them!"

. .

And there in the quiet. as eyes shone with a mixture of nwe and delight. we would read again, never wearying of repeating the words. so beautifully assembled, so touch- ingiy descriptive, though we have long known them by heart: ”And it come to pass in those days . . . And there were in the same coun- try shepherds abiding in the fields. keeping watch over their flock by night...And they came with haste, and found Mary. and Jos- eph. and the Babe lying in ii man- ger." And James would cuddle the children closely. and relate that once upon a time on Christmas Eve, his mother used t.o read the same story to him. and somehow. he had always loved to hear it. and knew it very well.

. . . How familiar the scenes in con- nection with the Clll'l5t.ml1s story are to the folks of the farm. young and older! It is as though they themselves are part and parcel of it! "And why were there shep- herds?" granddaughter asked this morning. as we looked out upon the flock of sheep. come now to nibble on a near field. I I I .

How can I remove lacquer from brass beds when it has been partly worn off and has permitted the metal to become tarnished?

A. The lacquer can be entirely removed by a sponging with alco- hol. Then polish the metal thor- oughly and apply a fresh coat of lacquer.

Q. How can I make a good pin cushion?

A. Dry hair-cornbings make 3 nice filling for pin cushions. Dried coffee grounds are also satisfac- tory, as they do not gather mois- ture nor rust.

Q. How can I freshen a loaf of stale bread?
