THE ARMY AND
 NAVY JOURNAL

says ordinarily one cannot see now the military power of nation could depend upon buttermilk, but investl- gations into the deterioration in the physical development of the popula- ton in certain parts Of Germany are expected to show that 1t Is due to the lessened consumption of buttermilk. Lately the candidates for the army show an inexplicable falling off phys ieally but which were formerly hne specimens of manhood. Inquiries show the dairies have been sending the buttermilk far, far away, and the pie can get only the cheap skim milk or comparatively innutritious substi- tutes. The American Journal Of Medical Association says Switzerland is getting into the very same situa- ton. Now then if buttermill will improve us in our physical develop ment we should drink it by all means, and you get the best at Phelan's Tea store. But this ad man claims for breakfast nice fresh roasted Coffee is delicious and healthy, and for dinner and supper nice, clean, good quality Tea is very palatable and health bearing.

LETTERS ID SANTA
 ARE POURING IN
Expected That the Previous 1000 Record Will Be Surpassed,

CHICAGO, Dec. 18.-Letters lU Santa Claus are expected at the Chi cago postofice to even outnumber the 1000 received last year, because of the miraculously joyful results pro duced by Uncle Sam, Assistant Post master Hubbard, |who was breyeted official St. Nick, and big coterie uI charitably inclined men and women, among whom the letters were distrtb- uted. The offic'al arrangements are the same, MT. Hubbard being again toyman extraordinary, and the beneyo- lent contingent of miracle workers is larger than before. Curiously enough the first letter received was from a boy who obviously was hoping to dress the part of an armed militant Teddy, as ne asked for Teddy" books, hunt ing knife and rife. The totals O. Christmas shopping in Chicago will far exceed those of last year, for by dint of much public urging people be- gan to throng the stores earlier ana the throng has been increased by the stimulus of the international live stock snow and the horse show, for which special railroad rates were made. Last year the Christmas trade was sald to have totaled about $S,000.000 The charities began early getting money, Chicago's tag day." when nearly every man by nightfall wore tag in return for a contribution to a.cheritv. having netted nearly S20,000. The Salvation Army is preparing to distribute Christ mas baskets among 15,000 people, and the Volunteers of America expect to feast 1000 at the'r annual banquet. Orders have been placed for the tur- Fevs which the big houses, banks ana railway companies give to their em p'oyes at Chr stmas, and the other more costly remembrances of employ, CTS to employed, will include goid coins given by many of the banks, lt re'ng the rule of some to distribute S20 to everyone on the pay rolls Tor two years or more.
