PatrOnize Our Advertisers.

During this and next week great
many thousands Of dollars will be spent
by the people of this vicinity in pur-
chases incident to the holidays. The
Tribune's advertisers are the progress
sive merchants OF this town and they
have made every preparation to meet
the demands Of the holiday trade. We
do not believe there are a dozen people
here who contemplate the purchase OF
any article that they cannot find in one
or more of the business places repre-
sented in our columns, and buy to Just
as good advantage as they can else
where. Why, then, should they not
patronize the business man at shome,
who pays taxes here, who gives employ
ment to local residents, who contributes
to the support of local government, who
aids in building up the town?
A large proportion of the money
spent at home remains in circulation at
home. Every dollar sent away; from
home increases the volume of money
in circulation elsewhere and to that ex-
tent diminishes the volume in circua-
tion here.
The merchants and tradesmen; who
advertise in this paper show their enter
prise aud progressiyeness by asking for
the peoples patronage through the me-
dium which covers the territory from
which buyers may be expected These
merchants want your trade and every
reader should give them his or her sup
port when prices and qualities are as
favorable as can be obtained elsewhere.

The president and Secretary Gage
are now raising storm because con-
gress wants to reduce taxation too much.
It's all question of beer, the reduction
of the revenue from this source being
the traditional $4,000, 900 straw that
breaks the bank. But then, what can
be done? The brewers paid their cam
paign subscriptions like little men and
now they want their reward.

What contrast brave little Holland
presents to Germany and the United
States! Emperor William, who sent so
warm telegram of congratulation to
Kruger when he crushed the Jameson
raid, and Uncle Sam, who protested so
energetcally against the Weylerlzat1on
OF Cuba, seem now to have drawn in
their horns

3 When in Melbourne, Lord and Lady
Hopetoun gained great popularity.
They entertained lavishly and were
full of young life and spirits. Their
doings We're the talk of every one-the
menagerie of animals they kept, the
original parties they gave and the pic
turesque attire which they made their
servants adopt when waiting at table.
They were juvenile enough to be up to
pranks, but their pranks were always
innocent ones, and they enjoyed them
together like children. In appearance
Lady Hopetoun is particularly at
tractive, her face has gained in soft,
gentle expression, and her carriage is
full Of dignity. Like her husband, she
has a real love for animals and keeps a
good many pets at Hopetoun House.
OF Shetland ponies she is particularly
fond and enjoys driving her pair for
miles over her estate. The countess
has many accomplishments, but driv-
ing is her favorite hobby.

1t is pretty hard to learn, via Great

American merchantmen once held
the seas because ships could be built
cheaper here than elsewhere. Then
came period when this was not so and
we lost our shipping. But now again,
America can build ships-steel ones,
this time-cheaper than they can be
built anywhere else. What need then
of subsidies to encourage them?

A Word About Glycerin.

Since so many people use pure glycer
in for the skin a word of caution seems
necessary. If you apply n little glycer-
in to the tip of the tongue you will
find that, although it has a pleasant,
sweet taste, the first sensation that is
felt is one of pain and burning. This
Is caused by the fact that glycerin has
n strong affinity for water and that it
absorbs all the moisture from the sur
face which it touches, thus drying up
and parching the nerves. Ignorant of
this fact, nurses and mothers have ap-
piled pure glycerln to the chafed skin
of infants, producing often great pain.
The glycerin ought to have been first
mixed with an equal bulk of water.
This being done, it may be applied to
the most tender surfaces without pro-
ducing injury, and, as it does not dry
up, it virtually maintains the part in
constantly moist condition, excluding
the air and promoting the healing proc
