If the lady of the house does her own washing relieve her of that drugâ€" ery by giving her a Beatty washing maâ€" chine for a Christmas present. If she has a washer and has to do her own ironing then relieve her of that labour by supplying her with an electric ironer. If she has both, the resources of the Beatty Brothers store on Third Avenue near theâ€"corner of Cedar, are not yet exhausted. How about an electric floor polisher? That would not only relieve her of the work of polishing but perhaps, would be a boon to the men of the house also. A really unique gift is a handsoms rug, perfect for modern room or log cabin. If she sets her table with old Sandwich glass, we suggest a reproâ€" duction for the centrepiece. Also for her table, an urnâ€"shaped vase becoming to most flowers and a sterling "pineâ€" apple" for jams and jellies. GIFTS FOR WOMEN | see4* ‘Famous Beauty Authority Suggests That Some Gifts to Yourself Are Really Gifts to All Around You. Suggesâ€" ‘ tion for a Nonsense Fund to Meet the Needs. If It‘s Beauty You‘re Giving Away Why Don‘t VY ou Head the List (By Elsie Pierce) It must sound downright selfish, at at time when unselfishness rules heart and mind, to so much as suggest that you, your precious self, should head the gift list. But, if it‘s beauty you‘re giving away, I think it‘s swell for the soul, to say nothing of your good looks. If you can‘t stretch your budget a bit, and if you haven‘t established a nonâ€" sense fund, then do a little snipping here and there. And, with the snipped savings, treat yourself to the one little beauty extravagance you‘ve wanted most this last year, but felt you just didn‘t dare. Do it, by all fmeans, unless you‘re very sure some one will eatch the thought waves and do it for you. Perhaps it isn‘t an extravagance at all, but a single cream or lotion or a compact, a kit or bath dusting powder, a perfume or an atomizer, an absolute essential or a little luxuryâ€"it doesn‘t matter. Get it and watch the warm feeling deep down inside at the thought of possessing it, at last. Nonsense Fund Throughout the country people have Christmas funds. It‘s a matter of a very nominal amount each week, ana then came time for the season‘s gifts and greetings, it comes in very handy and fills many a bill. T like to call mine ‘"nonsense fund" though it goes for a good deal that is more important Ancther "luxury‘"‘ treat for coneself might be a shimmering neglige= such as LORETTA YOUNG is wearing. A Beatty FloOr Polisner will a2dd years to the life of floors and keep them beautiful. With this labour saver, floor polishâ€" ing becomes a pleasant task. Polishers Too Are Useful Gifts TIMMINS, ONT. TiIZ PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO than mere "nonsense." â€" But I do think such a fund for oneself,, just to get a few things that you honestly have wanted but felt there was something else more important that had to come first, such a fund helps to keep one young almost as surely as cosmetics, as surely as buying a new coat or dress. If it is a beauty essential you have denied yourself, then you should cerâ€" tainly get it for the good it will do your looks. (But, even if it is something you can live without, like eyeshadow flecked with gold dust, or fragrant foam for your bath, or perfume in shocking package, or soap in an odd shape. . .. so long as‘it will please you to: own it, ao treat yourself to it! Discuss Consumer Exploitation at Men‘s Forum Group S. W, Woods and Fernando Balesâ€" treri president and secretary respectiveâ€" ly of the Men‘s Forum of the Timmins United Church, were the speakers at the Forum‘s meeting on Monday night. Mr. Woods and Balestreri gave a paper which they jointly prepared. Based on research work done by the two men it outlined methods by which the consumâ€" er is exploited. The paper was based on reports: of the Price Spreads Investigation, the book "One Hundred Million Guines Pigs," and Consumers‘ Union reports. It showed that one of the methods by which consumers were exploited was false and misleading advertising. He was forced to pay the price asked by manufacturers, whether or not it was justified, by means of monopolies, synâ€" dicates and cartels. The consumer had no defence against exploitation unless he banded together with his fellows and formed organizations such as coâ€" cperatives and bureaus for consumer education. Several musical selections were givâ€" en during the evening. One, a guitar solo by Mr. Camsell, was very well reâ€" ceived. Mr. Woods, President, was in the chair. Funeral of Mrs. S.

"And when they were come into the house they saw the young Child with Mary, His mother, and fell down and worshipped; and when they had openâ€" ed their treasures, they presented unto Him gifts; gold and frankincenseâ€"â€"" The Wise Men from the Fast brought to Bethlehbm the most valuable presâ€" ents they could find. For as long as man could remember, such presents had been dedicated to their gods. Two thousand years ago frankincense was one of the most valuable and sacred commodities in the world. Every altar and every funeral required this fragrant gum. Pliny wrote: "The heaps of odors that are piled up in honourm of the bodies of the dead. It is the luxury of man, which is.displayâ€" ed even in the paraphemalia of death, that has rendered Arabia thus happy." For it was Arabia that had the monâ€" opoly of this rich trade, and there only, to the east of ‘Aden, in that part of the country known as the Hadhramaut, was the gum produced. , Camel Caravans Frankincense comes from a small tree which is tapped through short incisions in the bark. The milky juice which then exudes is. allowed to dry into gum. This tree was sacred, and everything connected with it, the harâ€" vesting of the gum, the cultivation of the tree itself, those who handled‘ itâ€" all were governed by religious rites and rules. The control of this monopoly lay in the city of Shabwa, the ancient capital of the Hadhramaut. Then it was a great walled town with sixty temples, and from it led one of the oldest trade routes in the world from the frankinâ€" cense country to the markets of Egypt, Syria and Rome. The great camel caravans skirted the central desert, thehn. turned north. to Mecca, and thence to Alexandria, Anâ€" tioch and Rome with their precious freight. There were special storeâ€"rooms ‘for the sacred gum in the Temple at Jeruâ€" salem; vast quantities were used each year in the templés of Egypt; _the Arabs paid it as tribute to Darius, the Persian; and Alexander the Great sent it as a present to his tutor. So valuâ€" able was it that men who handled it were stripped before they left their work and searched in case they might have stolen some! Part of the crop was taken down to the coast and shipped up the Red Sea to Egypt. It was the lure of this lucraâ€" tive" trade, and the exorbitant rates charged ‘by the Arab shipping princes that persuaded the Romans to build their own fleet on the Red Sea and to fight for the command of the eastern Shipped . by Dhows Today>frankincense is still produced in the Hadhramaut,‘ but there is . no Mark Bowie Co.
