4 inclement Weather Again Interfered With the Municipal Christmas Exercises and the Programme Will Be Given ° With Additional Features Next Wednesday Evening— Prof. George’s Playing Appreciated Late Friday afternoon when the weather seemed so forbidding, the di- Tectors of the Christmas choruses de- elded that the night would evidently be too stormy for the exercises at the ublic tree and so notified their choirs. e band members reached a like de- cision and it was generally agreed to put over the singing to New Year's eve, at an hour to prove convenient for the greatest number who desire to attend, vet wish to be present at the watch night meetings. That evening there will be good choruses and band music, with several ®pecial features, Friday afternoon Prof. J. H. George held a general rehearsal in the town ball for the children who are to sing this afternoon. While the exercises at five o'clock today are primarily for the children, it is expected that a great cand of their eiders will be present also But Friday evening was not without #ome entertainment for those who verr- tured out to Union square. The tree was brilliantly ablaze and at 740 o'clock, after waiting around ten min- utes, Prof. J. Herbert George, with his cornet, decided to start things on his own account, other features being | lacking. It Came Upon a Midnight| Clear was the first solo that came to} the ears of his pleased audience. There | followed O Little Town of Bethlehem and Holy Night. Next the genial pro- | fessor broke into the melody of OIld | Black Joe. Then he fell into a defiant mood and 1 Won't Go Home Until| Morning pealed forth. Then he re-| pented somewhat and apologized with | I'm Here Because I'm Here. That closed the evening’s programme. The cornet’s tunes dled down and the {lights on the tree went out. But { everyone in the crowd who heard Prof. | George granted that it was a pretty | good display of real Christmas sp on the part of a man who is seventy years old but whose joy of living is| as great as it ever was.

A REALLY TASTELESS CASTOR OIL AT LAST Good bye, drugs and pills! The perfect laxative has arrived— Kellogg's Tasteless Castor Oil—made tasteless by a method which chemists have tried to find for 3,000 years. This is not a flavored, or disguised castor oil. It is just pure castor oil without taste or odor. Kellogg's Tasteless Castor Oil is a better castor oil than the old evil tast- ine. evil smelling kind. While none of the taste remains. none of the good has been taken out. Kellogg’s Taste- less operates quickly and freely, with- out griping, s no gas, and does not turn the siomach. Children take it easily and retain it. The drug stores have all been sup- plied. You have ounly to ask for Kel- logg’s Tasteless Castor Oil. 25c¢ or 50c eize. It is not seld in bulk. The trade mark is a green castor leaf on the label. bearing the Kellogg signature. JizSe only by Spencer Kellogg & Sons, Inc, of Buffalo, dealers in vege- table oils for four generations.

No Change in Weekly Wage Scale in Following 55-Hour Law. | Many of the mill managements in this part of the state have already prepared to adjust their working hours to conform with the 55-hour law for women and minors which becomes ef-. rective on Jan. 1. It is generally un- derstood that no changes will be made in the weekly wage scale for operatives on a per diem or weekly scale and that piece workers may get a slight increase in event of the cut in hours reducing | their earnings. The Ponemah mill at Taftville has announced that no change will be made to operatives who are on the weekly basis, while 5 per cent. in- crease will be given piece hands. Workers in the textile industries here- | abouts are interested in the posting of schedules. Many expect the plan of the Ponemah mills will be followed. MISS BRUCKNER'S [ TWELFTH BIRTHDAY.
