CHRISTMAS.

The preparations for the celebration OF
tomorrow (Christmss Day. have been
about completed, and the day will, as
ususI, 10 this part of the country, be
observed as q general holiday. many
persons will attend the different churches,
while others will avail themselves OF the
opportunity to visit nearby clues,
and ,qqaIly as many more will come
from 1,aer places for the purpose OF
speudisg he day at their old homes, or
of call ~ on relatives and friends In this
city.
There has been but comparatively
little animation preceding Christmas
this wear. Hornblowing and the dis
charge of explosives has been almost
Hacking. Such evidences of the APP
prosch of the holiday have heretofore
been in evidence several days before the
25.h.
There is an evident trend on the
mart of the present generation to min-
imize much ofthe unnecessary and IN
seemly conduct which sore still cup.
nose are necessary Accomplishments OF
Cbris'ma~. =.
The AIexsndria merchants have dis
nosed of average stocks ofholidsy goods
his yesr. although the resliz'tions oil
some have fallen somewhat short oil their
authorizations. The recent financial furry
and the uncertainty SIS to the outcome OF
the present timidity in the money
market doubtless accounts for this.
The banks of this city and government
Offices will he closed tomorrow, and Tue
postoffics will observe Sunday hours.
The market, which has been kept
open throughout today, will be opened
again tomorrow morning.
The weather today has been CRISP
with a northwest wind. AS is usual on
Christmas Eve, there has been consld
cradle shopping, aud many persons
from The surrounding country have been
In the city. The change In the weather
has stiffened prices ofturkeys, and today
thew we're selling as low as j cents per
Mound. while fancy varieties they brought
25cenis. Eggs generally sold at 80 cents a
dozen. although in some cases brought
two or three cents more. The area 10
market used By country people was wen
stocked With Christmas trees and oInet
greens used in Christmas decorations.

Irishman, and among other directions
told him to take an unc Of whisky
three times a day. A day or SO later
he made another visit and found the
man, while not SO sick, ~undeniably
drunk.
"How did this happen?' the physi-
clan demanded of Pats wife, who was
lowering about so%licitously.
"Sure, dochter, an tits just what
you ordered. an no more, that he
had" she protested.
II said one ounce Of whisky three
times a day; that could not make him

FOOD
FACTS

F o D
A Body Balance

People hesitate at the statement that
the famous TODD, Grape-Nuts, yields as
much nourishment from n pound as
can be absorbed by the system from
ten pounds of meat, bread, wheat or
oats. Ten pounds Of meat might con-
tain more nourishment than n pound
of Grape.Nuts, but not in shape that
the system will absorb as large a pro-
portion OF, as the body can take up
from one pound Of Grape-Nuts.
This food contains the selected parts
OF wheat and barley which. are pre-
pared and by natural means predi-
gested, transformed into a form OF
sugar, ready for immediate assimlla-
ton. People In all parts Of the world
testify to the value OF Grape-Nuts.
A Mo. man says: Il have gained ten
pounds on Grape-Nuts food. | can
truly recommend it to thin people"
He had been eating meat, bread, etc,
right along, but there was no ten
pounds Of added flesh until Grape-Nuts
food was used.
One curious feature regarding true
health food is that its use will reduce
the weight of a corpulent person with
unhealthy flesh. and will add to the
weight of a thin person not properly
nourished. There is abundance OF
evidence to prove this.
Grape.Nuts balances the body in a
condition Of true health. Scientific Sc.
lection OF food elements makes Grape
Nuts good and valuable. Its delicious
favor and powerful nourishing prop
critics have made friends that In
turn have made Grape.Nuts famous

The Manchester canal was built at
a cost of $75,O 00, 900 to reduce freight
rates for a distance of 35 miles, and,
while it did not prove a good inter-
est bearing investment on such a
large expenditure, its indirect and
more permanent benefits are said to
have warranted it.
Germany has 5000 miles of canal,
carefully maintained, besides 1000
miles of other waterway. France,
with an area less than we would con-
slider a large state, has 5000 miles of
canal; and in the northern part,
where The canals are most numerous,
the railways are more prosperous.

Architects and Closets.

An architect, says a writer, com
plains that women have a mania for
closets and that when a woman Is al
lowed any liberty in the matter she
changes his whole architectural plan
In order to make room for them. This,
he says, makes him a laughing stock
among his fellow architects. This is
very interesting, but why do architects
make plans if not to make every effort
themselves to secure conveniences? A
house may be intellectually perfect
and yet not fit to live in, and 1t certain.
ly is not II there is not closet room
enough.
