A Big Busy Store.

1t is a matter of great surprise to
people who have not lately visited tho
big department store Of tho w. F.
White Hardware company. the amountof
business which is each day transacted
there.
Glaneing into the store almost at any
hour Of the day the clercieal force is
always on the rush. Every one doing
work in the store seems to have little
more than they can do. This has not
continued just through this present
busy season, bnt it il an every day oc-
ourrenos.
Shelving has been extended to the
ceilings on both sides Of the big main
store for tho accommodation of increased
stocks and these are 80 high and crowd
ed that system Of ladder railways now
extend around the store SO that the
shelving comes into instant use.
The force Of clerks has been much
increased and work runs along smooth
ly everywhere in the big store Of the
city. All the time OF Manager and
President w. F. White is now taken in
looking after the purchase Of stock TO
keep their big lines full and up to stan
dard.
Without any doubt whatever it is the
largest general store of its kind on the
western slope. Goods have got to be
kept on the move in this establishment,
hence prices are made to move them.
1t really does look with go many va
rietiss of goods under one roof, where
the cost OF handling them is down to a
minimum basis that, they could be sold
more cheaply than elsewhere.
Their holiday rush this week is the
biggest in their history, owing to low
prices and the Cash System. 1t does
seem that every one wanting an up to
date substantial Christmas present is
not satisfied until they visit Whites De-
partment Store, where every wish can
be gratitied.

Didn't Get out of the Way.

Reniniscently. the Chicago Post
tells of the push cart full of drugs that
met John Baughman in the manufac-
turers' building of the Worlds Fair
one day in 1893. John was tall and
BRAD citizen from Indiana, and while
his clothes were good he took up much
room. as large man may. and led peo-
pie to think he was clumsy. He was
looking ut the Worlds Fair early one
pleasant morning when the push cart
Of Il drug firm came laundering down
the aisle. and the four-dollar-a- week
man behind it was crying, Get out of
the way. there. Get out of the wayw
1t was a common thing at the fair.
The only hreling who did not order
people to get out of the way was the
one with the sprinkling barrel. He
regarded it as the height of humor to
drench the dresses of women and spoil
the fine polish ON the shoes of men.
And this push cart young fellow was
proceeding down through Il lane of peo-
pie who had paid their money to be
treated to cheap contumely from every
thin thing on the grounds.
John Bauglman did not get out of
the way. He saw the chariot coming
. and heard the commands of the man
who pushed it. But he walked straight
toward it, and 1t stopped aImost-but
not quite-against his shins.
Get out of the way, you lummickw
yelled the pusher
So John Baughman picked up the
cart and hurled it with all its contents
| against the great iron gates that came
from Germany. 1t was sight. There
were acids and salts and alkalis and
essence and extracts until the whole
building was alive with the smell Of
them.

cried the pusher.

John. "You have to get out of nv

Barefoot Club.
Boston is not the only town where
the new game is taken up with enthus-
iasm. for the other day a couple of
dozen well-dressed ladies and gentle
men were to be seen solemnly walking
down the Linden. Berlin's great boule-
ward. not only hatless and unshadeless,
hut without shoes or stockings. The
extraordinary procession then turned
through the great Brandenburger Cate
and proceeded eventually to the suburb
of Schoeneberg. Most of them were
barefooted. others wore light sandals.
The reason of this extraordinary ex-
hihition. inaugurated what may be
called the "Anti-Shoe and Stocking
Club" was to encourage the disuse OF
the modern stiff boot and bring back
eventually the old days of Grecian
simplicity. Grecian simplicity, as far
as going barefooted is concerned. will

GERMS.
THEW Exist Everywhere Now-ar
Days.

r. n. Air and In Our Food and Drink
No One IL Free From Them
for Moment.
Ono reads so much about germs,
these DAYS, that he becomes almost
afraid to drink glass of milk or wash
his face in basin of water. Yet
those who are most competent to
;udoe tell us that there are many dis
eases now known to be caused by
germs; and probably other diseases
will be discovered to be due to germs
also.
If YOU SOW wheat in dry dust md
keep the soil in that condition, the
kernels will not sprout and grow.
And if you should sow the grain in
very wet soil it will not grow then,
but would mould or rot. Therefore
we must not only have proper seed,
but the soil must also be exactly right
for the growth of the seed, if we
expect results. Take consumption
germs, for instance, you may inh-Ae
these germs and yet no harm follow;
because the soil in your lungs was in
such healthy condition these disease
germs cannot grow there. Then,
again, you may have exactly the hight
kind of soil in your lungs for the
germs of consumption, and yet not
have the disease because you have not
inhaled the germs. 1t is certainly
true that thousands of persons inhale
the germs of consumption, and yet do
not have the disease. The fact that
this soil must be suitable to germ-life,
explains the reason why some children
have severe stomach and bowel
trouble, and yet others in the same
house be unaffected.
There are number of complaints
which may not be due to germs: and
yet the principle we wish to establish
is the same. Some take cold more
easily than others; have frequent
attacks of indigestion become easily
exhausted; and show in every way
that the body is not strong. What La
the best weapon with which to fight
germs? A strong constitution. How
can you prevent many of the ailments
of everyday life? By keeping the
body well nourished and the nervous
system substantially reinforced.
