ONLY THE VERY BEST.
Tint Is the Advice which the Lead
Ing Physicians of the Land Give.

Thousands of people at this time of the
year find themselves in a low state of
health, and many are now asking the
question, How can l regain health ana
strength and feel as l ought to feel?"
For the benefit of people who ask this
question, it may be stated that some of the
best physicians in the land say that Nature
requires assistance, the sluggish blood
needs stirring up, impurities driven from
the system, ana the great organs of the
body endowed with new life. For produc
ing these effects no stimulant has ever
eQualed pure malt whiskey, providing IL
really is pure and free from adulteration.
Eminent physicians throughout the world
agree on this point,
Il adhere to the belief that pure whiskey
is the least injurious. safest and best al
coholic liquor"
DR.. Frank II. Wade, Pttsburg, says;
after many years of careful study | am
firmly convinced that whiskey is the least
injurious, and, therefore, the safest and
best of alcoholic liquors for people to use.
While the above opinions carry weight
and conviction, 1t must be remembered
that ordinary whiskey cannot be depended
upon, and win usually do more harm than
good. What people in n weak, rundown
condition needs is pure medicinal
whiskey, and the only whskey that has
ever answered this description is Duffy's
malt.

An Englishman was touring through
America on board a steamer when one
morning, after walking on deck and look

tain, says Tit-Bits, and asked: Il beg
pardon, but would you kindly tell me what
lake I'm on?'

began again; Il beg your pardon, you
said"

tain, thinking the man was deaf.

but what's the name of the lake that
I'm on?"
"rhe Lake Huronr" shouted the cap
tain. incensed at what he thought gross
stupidity, and he turned away to relieve
himself by railing at one of the hands
The Englishman looked more puzzled
than ever.

CHRISTMAS IN BETHLEHEM.
No FeastinE or Giving of Presents.
The Religious Exercises.

fIOH the 0ulSdSO NEWS
There is not one person in 10000 who
knows how the Christmas holiday is kept
in Bethlehem, the city most closely con-
nected with the day. Bethlehem of this
time has 5000 inhabitants, and is not at
tractive in appearance, as the streets are
too narrow for vehicles Only donkeys
and camels and foot passengers traverse
the narrow alleys. The town is but t1ve
miles south of Jerusalem.
There is a splendid road between Jer-
usalem and Bethlehem, and the drivers
take one over the ground at furious
speed OF course, the city is larger and
better built than in the time of Christ,
but otherwise has not changed very essen
TALLY. The great Church of the Nativity
and some of the larger buildings doubt
less stood at the time of His birth. At
Christmas everyone visits the Field of the
Shepherds, mile away from the church,
which is reputed to be the place where the
shepherds tended their fiocks. Back at
the big church a procession of bishops
priests and people forms in the square be-
fore the edjfice, each man dressed in his
most gorgeous robes. Turkish soldiers
line both sides of the streets to clear the
way for the procession. The Latin pa
triarch of Jerusalem arrives, is met by
the procession carrying banners and i'm
mense candles, and all go into the Latin
chapel through the main entrance.
Inside the structure is very ancient,
some of it dating from the time of Con-
stantine. In the Latin chapel of st. Cath
crime services are held all night, and at
midnight the Patriarch of Jerusalem says
mass. The chapel is filled with people sit
ting on the floor. Then the procession re-
pairs to the Grotto of the Nativity, uu-
der the church. Originally this was sim
ply a natural cave in a limestone rock-of
course the original manger was not pre-
served. Now marble slabs cover the
walls and floors, and the ten-foot ceiling
carries thirty-two brass lamps. Many re-
ligious pictures of poor execution hang on
the walls, and in the east end of the cave
is a small recess hung about with fifteen
lamps. On the floor of the recess a bright
silver star is set in, and it is almost worn
away from the constant kissing 1t re-
ceiveS.
Most of the worshippers remain in the
church all night; occasionally some steal
out and are driven away home. The clear
moon makes the country as bright as day,
The Christmas day of Bethlehem is with
out the good cheer and happiness of our
day, for the home life is SO different.
There is no feasting and giving presents ;
nothing but religious ceremonies.
