three O'Clock Sunday which brought the
fire department to the clothing store of
C. N. Atwood & Co., on Main street.
On arrival the fremen found the sub
cellar enveloped in flame and smoke.
Several streams were Immediately
turned into the basement and the blaze
was quickly subdued. The fire was
confined to the sub-cellar of the Atwood
building although the upper floors were
filled with smoke. The origin of the
fire is not known. The stores on either
side of the Atwood block were thoroughly
smoked but otherwise no damage was
done to the adjoining stores. The dam
age to the Atwood store has not been
adjusted as yet, but it is expected will
be in few days. This same store was
Quilted by fire three years ago when
Harry Kelley, fireman, was killed.

THE THIRD DECADE.
3. Turk & Bro. Company, Burlins-
ton, Sixty Years in Business.

Sixty years ago the firm of B. Turk &
Bro. was established in Burlington
During all this time the name has stood
for the highest principles of honesty and
fair dealing and today is monument of
integrity and success
Sixty years ago Burlington was not the
city it is today. 1t has come on apace as
"a commercial center, and in line with all
progress the firm Of b. Turk q Bro has
been in the foremost rank.
Five years ago the management of the
store, one of the finest in New England,
came into the Richold system and during
this time has become more firmly and
popularity established.
To celebrate both events, the Goth ami
versary of the establishment, and the
fifth anniversary under new manage
ment, there will be held, beginning
Thursday, Jan. A, the Semi.annual Clean
Sweep sale Every effort has been put
forth to make the celebration fitting and
attractive, with the expectation that this
will prove the greatest sale of clothing
and furnishings in the history of the

What Has Happened
On Christmas Day

How many know that Christmas
day was first celebrated In TIL year
90, although not as Christian fes-
tival until forty years after that date?
1t was not until the fifth century that
it was permanently celebrated ON Dec.
IS. Many interesting events have &C.
CURED on Christmas, and many tradi-
tons cling to that day. They make
entertaining and instructive reading
for old and young alike, so few are
jotted down here as we linger over the
"walnuts and wine"
When Christmas comes on Sunday
it is considered a most lucky day. 1t
means good winter and an unusually
fine summer. Should child be born
on n Christmas Sunday it will be ia
vored by good fortune all its life.
Two notable coronations occurred on
Christmas day-that of Charlemagne
as emperor of the west in the year
800 and that of William the Conquer
or at Westminster abbey In 1906.
Clovis, the first Christian king of
France, was baptized on Christmas
day, 1876.
The pilgrims, who condemned all
church festivals, spent their first
Christmas in America working hard
all day long amid cold and stormy
weather and commenced the building
Of the first house in Plymouth. 1920.
1t is a significant fact that no great
battles were fought on Christmas day
They have occurred on the oath and
the 26th Of December, but the ami
versary of the advent Of peace on
earth has ever been observed by a ces-
sation of hostilities. A notable ex-
ception, however, is that of the bat
tie Of Okeechobee, Fla, in which
Zachary Taylor defeated the Indians
in 1887.
On Christmas day Of 1861 President
Lincoln and his cabinet met and de-
cided to comply with the demand OF

Tricks With

n SHEET should always be pro-
~ vided for children's Christ
"A mas games. Arranged as a
screen it serves many pur
poses besides shadow pictures and
lantern shows.
Two capital games are played in this
manner. For one an opening about
six inches wide should be cut in the
sheet at a convenient height for diff
ferent persons to stand and show only
their eyes. No light should be back
of the sheet, and the company seated
In front must guess whose eyes are
staring at them.
A variation of this idea may be
even more amusing because 1t affords
opportunity for misleading the guess
ers. Instead Of an opening the sheet
is drawn up a few inches from the
floor in order to show the feet Of those
who stand behind it. Boys according
ly put on skirts. and girls slip their
hands into their fathers shoes, get
ting down on all fours in order to de-
ceive.
Another mirth provoking trick for
children of all ages and one that will
be heartily appreciated by adults is
called mesmerism. Blacken the cen
ter Of the under side of a small plate
by holding it over the flame Of n can
die, being careful not to soil the edge
or top. Put this plate upon another
and place them in front of you. The
person to be mesmerized must be
seated so that by no possibility can
he see his reflection in the glass, but
must be in full view of the audience.
The mesmeFist says impressively:
you must look me steadily in the
eye all the time. Don't remove your
eyes an instant from my face, but do
just as ! do slOwly-see (picking up the
blackened plate and handing it to the
victim so that the black is toward the

Never mind how they laugh. You must

ARE MICROBES IN YOUR
SCALP?
II Has Been Proved That Microbes
Cause Badness.

Professor Unna of Hamburg, Germany,
and DIR. Sabaurand, the leading French
dermatologist, discovered that mcrube
causes badness. Their theory has time
and again been amply verified through
research experiments carried on under
the observation of eminent scientists.
This microbe lodges in the Sebum, which
is the natural hair oil, and when per-
mitted to flourish it destroys the hair
folliciles and in time the pores entirely
close, and the scalp gradually takes on a
shiny appearance. When this happens
there is no hope Of the grow III Of hair
being revived.
We have a remedy which will. we
honestly believe, remove dandruff, ex-
terminate the microbe, promote good
circulation in the scalp and around the
hair roots, tighten and revitalize the hair
roots, and overcome badness, 30 long az
there is any life left in the hair roots.
We back up this statement with our
own personal guarantee shat this remedy
called Rexall "S3" Hair Tonic will be
supplsed free of all cost to the user if it
fails to do as we state.
1t will frequently help to restore gray
and faded hair to its original color,
providing loss of color has been caused
by disease; yet it is in no sense dye.
Rexall "S3'' Hair Tonic accomplishes
these results by aiding in making every
hair root, follicle, and pigment gland
strong and active, and by stimulating a
natural flow Of coloriDg pigment
throughout the hair cells.
We exact no obligations or promises
we simply ask you TO give Rexall "93"
Hair Tonic thorough trial and II not
satisfied tell us and we will refund the
money you paid us for it. Two sizes,
prices so and 81 90. Remember you can
obtain it in Middlebury only at our store
