ALONG TIE WATERFRONT
Over Three Million Bushels Of
Grain Exported.
DECEMBER IS A BANNER MONTH
Shipments During Past Thirty pays
More Than Double Total for Year
1so4-Fourteen Vessels Now Bound
For This port For Cargo.

When the grain laden British
steamers Zafra. Elswicls Tower and
Pontiac put to sea from this port
today. the total amount OF grain
shipped from Newport News during
the month of December, ending to-
day, will be 3,219.52S bushels, which
Is far in excess of any monthly
shipments of grain from this city
since the winter of 1899 and more
than double the total amount of
grain shipped during the entire
twelve months of 1904.
The following is a list OF the to-
tai amounts of the various kinds of
grain shipped from this port since
December /:
Oats ...............2,0 27,792 bushels.
Corn .............. S67,745 bushels.
Barley ....,....... 204,047 bushels.
wheat ,............ $4,000 bushels.
Total 3,219,52S bushels.
Owing to the fact that the officials
of the Chesapeake e Ohio elevators
here were unable to secure q suf-
ilcient number of hands TO store
grain in the elevators and load the
vessels as rapidly as possible, the
total amount of the grain shipments
were slightly less than what many
shipping men here had anticipated,
for at the first of the month 1t was
thought that December would be the
record breaker in the history of the
port.
A we'll known shipping man stated
yesterday that the total of the grain
shipments this month is next to the
largest of any single monthly ship
ment in the ports history and that
from present indications ali former
records for shipping grain Will be
smashed during the first three
months of the new year.
The outlook for busy time along
the waterfront between now and
the opening OF spring is very en-
couraging, SO local shipping men say,
and it is expected that the export
trade OF the port will be greatly in
creased during that time.
Fourteen big steamers are now
bound here to load cargoes and a
number of foreign steamers are char
tered to load grain here in January.

Christmas Eve. A more enjoyable
time was never had in the history
OF the Company. Captain Cooke,

Off, followed by what proved to be
the feature of the occasion, q most
interesting hypnotic entertainment
conducted by Lieut.. William Nick
Lambdin of the Artillery School, who
lie a very sllillful amateur hypnotist,
The FRANKS and tricks through which
the subjects were put being highly
laughable and amusing, brought
forth a continuous uproar Of ap.
plause.
Men rode chairs for horses, as few
jockeys ever rode their favorites to
win imaginary races. Men sho,

they had. and would be shooting YET

caps and made off In double tiIne"-
it was quite like the real article.
Many more laughable stunts were
done by the men while in the hyp-
motto sleep. Three students were told
that a swarm of bees was after then
and the way they fought those beer
reminded one Of the days down or
the farm.
The lateness of the evening and
Lieut.. Lambdin's desire not to keep
the men, too long under the infiu-
ence. caused the performance to be
cut short Every man of the Com
pany has expressed the desire that

y member of the firm of Burton &,

if the people of Newport News only
realized the real curative and
strengthening power OF our cod

not have clerks enough in our store

Continued he, "You see Vinol is
not a patent medicine, and it actually
contains all the life-eiving, body.build-
Ing and strengthening, proprieties
of cod liver oil actually taken from

Vinol makes rich. red blood, and tones

white beds are women and girls who are awaiting or recovering from opera, tions made necessary by neglect.
 Every one of these patients had plenty of warning in that bearing down feeling, pain at the left or right of the womb, nervous exhaustion, pain in the small of the back, leucorrhea, dizzi- ness, fiatulency, displacements of the womb or irregularities. All of these symptoms are indications of an un- healthy condition of the ovaries or womb, and if not needed the trouble will make headway until the penalty has to be paid by dangerous opera tion, and a lifetime of impaired useful ness at best, while in many cases the results are fatal.
 The following letter should bring hope to suffering women. Miss Luella Adams, of the Colonnade Hotel, Seattle, Wash., writes: .t, Y. Dear Mrs. Pinkhani:-- j++~ g- .s
 "About two years ago was g great suf- ferer from severe female trouble, pains and headaches. The doctor prescribed for me and finally told me that had tumor on the womb and must undergo an operation ii l 
 death warrant, but spent hundreds of dol- lars for medical help, but the t,lmor kept growing. Fortunately corresponded with an aunt in the New England States, and she advised me to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg etable Compound, as it was said to cure tu- mors. I did so and immediately began to improve in health, and was entirely cured, the tumor disappearing entirely, without an operation. l wish every suffering woman would try this great preparation" T. 35
 Just as surely as Miss Adams was cured of the troubles enumerated in her letter, just so surely will Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound cure every woman in the land who suffers from womb troubles, inflammation of the ovaries, kidney troubles, nervous excitability and nervous prostration.
 Mrs. Pinkham invites all young women who are ill to write her for frea advice. Address, Lynn, Mass. '.
