He had been intelligent studious ambitious
young man; but, above all, artist. His greatest

copied the design a bill painter would copy
an original masterpiece and had become absorbed
in developing its perfectons He had printed the
engraving he had made experiment and had
been greatly pleased with his work 1t had looked
well even in the black ink He had wondered how
it would look in the colors used by the Government
He had tried it. and the results had been pleasing to
him artist and gratifying to him workman
Then he had wondered if his handiwork would
pass actual money. This would be the final test
of the excellence of his work. He had tried few bills
and their genuineness had never been questioned
He had made this thing that good as could be
developed with all the combined skill and wealth of

TWO THOUSAND GREEKS FROM THREE
STATES CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS FEAST

Two thousand Greeks from three states
celebrated Christmas yesterday in Salt
Lake All of Greektown was gaily deco
rated for the occasion and there was as
much good cheer among the Greeks as
there was among the members Of other
Christian churches at the Christmas cele-
DratiOn two weeks ago
The difference between the observance
of the Greek Christmas and the Christmas
of other churches lies in the fact that the
dates Of the Greek Catholic feast days
are taken from the Julian calendar, while
other churches follow the Gregorian cal
endar. This brings the feasts of the
Greek church thirteen days later than
those of other Christian churches. Next
Thursday the Greeks will celebrate the
feast Of the New Year.
The Christmas services began at the
Greek Catholic church yesterday morning.
y service that was prelude to the Greek
Christmas mass began at o'clock and
the main service at 10. continuing until
1880 The services were conducted &C
cording to the ritual of the Greek ortho-
dOX church, the mass being said by Rev.
Pacrtheni0s Limbcropouios. archimandrite
of the Greek church for Utah, Idaho and
Nevada.
At this service two collections were
taken up One for the church Melted 500,
and one for the sufferers from the ltal-
ian earthquake. $50 80. A committee was
appointed composed of representative
Greeks in all parts of the state to assist
in collecting funds for the earthquake

LIVELY DEBATE
At u. OF j.
Galveston Plan OF City Govern
ment Wins Decisive
Victory.

Edward Watson. Z. II. Burgess and
Ralph Hartley, representing the affirma-
tive, won the annual John r. Park debate
at the university last evening and e. II.
Burgess, Edward Watson and Richard w
Young. it, with James Carlson as alter
nate, were selected as members Of the
team that will represent Utah in the an
nUal interstate debate against the Uni
versity of Colorado to be held next month
in Boulder.
The question debated last evening and
decided in favor of the affirmative: Re
solved, That the Galveston Plan OF Mu-
nicipal Gov eminent is Preferable to the
Prevailing Forms of American Municipal
Government is one of local interest. as
bill for the establishment of the Des
Moines plan, patterned after the Galveston
plan, will be presented to the legislature
The affirmative cOntended that the Cal
weston plan was organized on business
principles. that it was more economical,
more democratic and that ii centralized
the responsibility. The negative argued
that it gave too great an opportunity for
secrecy. no opportunity for the prOsecu-
ton of higher officials and that only one
part of the people were represented in the
government.
The arguments on both sides were good
and it took the judges some time to de-
speaker Of the evening was Richard w
Young IT.. who delivered his argument in
a mastery manner. The affirmative met
most of the points of the negative in the
rebuttal. but the negative did not ques-
ton several arguments of the affirma-
tive. The same question will be debated
in Colorado and Utah will take the mega
tive side.
There was large crowd of tOwnspeoplf
and students at the debate. During the
absence of the judges some delightful mu-
steal numbers were given Professor Fred
W. Reynolds acted as chairman and ths
Judges were Judge T. d. Lewis, a. Blaine

sufferers. II was explained by a leading
member of the Greek colony that there
was between the Italians and the Greeks
d close bond Of friendship. that their his
tories were so closely interviewer. their
position in the worlds history so analo-
gous that Itaiy's loss was Grecian loss.
More than that, he added. the Greeks were
American citizens and they were exercis-
ing American charity in extending aid to
the Italian sufferers; they were following
the example Of the American government
in relieving the distress. as well as that
of other governments including Greece.
which through its parliament contributed
$4,000 in money, a battleship with phys-
clans, troops and marines, and shiplOads
of provisions.
Following the services at the churches
the Greeks attended entertainments at the
Greek theatres and at other places Of
amusement. Christmas dinners were
served at the Greek restaurants and spec
ial attractions drew others to the Greek
playhOuses.
The church, the theatres, stores and~of-
fees in Greek town were decorated in
Greek and American flage, Christmas
trees and holly. the whole community
taking on a holiday attire. To the Greeks
Christmas has precisely the same signifi-
canoe az il has to other Christian people
and the feast is celebrated in much the
same way. The giving of presents forms
as much part of the Christmas for the
Greeks as does the custom for other ma
lions.

SALLOW COMPLEXION
Changed to Rudy Glow.

No one likes a sallow, muddy COM
piexion. Many who are so afflicted do
not realize that the daily consumption
of coffee is likely the cause.
Coffee contains a drug-caffeine-
which so irritates the nerves of the
stomach that food is not properly di-
gested and that causes bad blood.
1t weakens, by its after effects, the
heart and lungs so that the full
amount OF life-giving oxygen is not
taken into the lungs. and that is an
other cause of bad blood. It is often
the cause of sallow complexion and
nervousness also.
During the past year." writes a
Conn. lady, 4 found that 1 was graG-
ually growing nervous through some
unknown cause. I was peevish and
restless. and my complexion had that
saliow, disaereeable color seen in de-
bilitated people and nervous dyspep-
tics
During this time coffee was my
chief beverage at every meal. Having
been for many years a constant user
of Grape Nuts, 1 had read The Road

1t is felt now that a grievous mis-

time, and twice as much ground to the
west that the government is now ny
ing to secure through condemnation
proceedings could have been secured at
that time for 5000 or $4,000 at most.
This would have made an ideal site,
and would have furnished enough
ground for governmental purposes for
all time to come.
The prevailing opinion among federal
