TWITCHING NERVES
Bangor Man Was Tortured - Could
 Not Sleep.

Not Sleep.
 It would be very hard for anyone to convince MT. Samuel Bruch of Ban gor, Pa, that he had not been wonder fully benefited by Vinol. He says:
 Owing to weakness of the nerves, which were constantly paining me and twitching so that l could not sleep at night, I was weak and run down. Hearing that Vinol was an excellent tonic and strength creator commenced using it and immediately began to feel much better. My nerve trouble left me and I can now sleeA better than I have for a long time.
 T can truthfully say that Vinol has done all for me that is claimed for it."
 The reason Vinol did MT Bruch so much good is because it gave him new strength and built up his health in general, just as it does for all weak, nervous, rundown people-just as it will do for you if you are that way.
 Vinol is sold on our positive guar antee that it must help you or you set your money back Broadway Pharmacy, c. c. Engler Norwich, Ct

COURTESY APPRECIATED,

The Alexandria Gazette ;!iseres to
express, it's thanks to the three Ma
tional Banks of Alexandria. The
First National, the Citizens Nation
al,and Alexandria National for their
courtesy in permitting us to leave
out their standing advertisements for
the next two days. The demands OF
advertisers for additional space IL the
last few days has broken all records
and it was necessary to either leave
out some advertisements or d:sap-
point number Of merchants who
wished to place their Christmas adVer
Using before the public. Mechanical
difficulties have made it impossible
for the Gazette to add to the number
of its pages at this time.
The three banks of Alexandria have
always been extremely liberal in their
efforts to accommodate the business
men of Alexandria and their action in
this case is only additional tuati-
money Of their generosity.

AT ONCE

There is no other place in or around
Alexandria, where you can get ali OF
the above conditions.
When Rosemont was first opened for
sale to the public, stated what would
be done there, and that homeseekers
and investors should buy early, and
my advice has been doubly proven
good. Values have doubled in four
years, and Rosemont is fast becom-
ing the best residential part OF Al
exandria, with homes ranging IN cost
from $4,000 to $4,000 and over, and
there are thirty-three such homes now
and nine others to be started within
the next few months, the lots Tor
which are already sold.

EXPRESS RATES
TO BE LOWERED.

Only few days more and the pub
lie of Alexandria will enjoy, with the
balance of the people Of the Uaited
States, the new parcel postal rates
which will mean not only great con-
venience to the public but also to a
lowering of the cost of living. For
years Alexandria has suffered by the
arbitrary actions and high rates OF
the express companies which did bust
ness here and no remedy was to be
secured.
But now that the new postal law
is about to go into effect it is stated
that the express companies are ar
ranging to so adjust their rates as
to enter into a vigorous competition
with the parcels post system. THIS
tells no extraordinary story. These
private corporations simply have to
do their best toward meeting the enler
gency in their line Of business which
the governments new carrying policy
has produced. And if they can serve
the public to better purpose than the
government, and at rates not in eX-
cess of those imposed by the parcels
post, why the public will have no less
reason to be grateful for the inaugu-
ration of the parcels post system. Fol
the more vigorously these two a%sn-
cies of public service measure claims
for patronage, the more certa!;-,i
will the people be benefited.

hoping that these 60 little human
Christmas presents will grow into
strong, happy and successful men and
women.
