that was the large number Of people
who now come to town in automobiles
rather than teams. 1t is almost safe
10 say that the majority of the peo-
PIE who came into the city Monday
did so in automobiles. Cars were lined
up along the curb during the after
noon almost equal to the summer time,
and there We're very few, if any of
them, that were owned in the city. The
me travelling for automobiles was no
doubt the reason for the large num-
per being seen, as nearly all the coun-
try roads are in first class shape for
auto travel. A few yeats ago snow
would have been almost absolutely
necessary to bring in a large crowd.
Now the people come just the same

shortly after school had let out and some-
had told some children that a Santa

of the Clukey block and that he would
have gifts for them. They gathered
about the building rapidly. nearly block

about the street while they patiently
waited for Santa. A. large number of

crowd and stayed to see the fun. 1t

For Lancaster People to Neglect.

The great danger OF kidney troubles
is that they so often get firm hold
before the sufferer recognizes them.
Health will be gradually undermined.
Backache, headache. nervousness,
lameness, soreness, lumbago, urinary
troubles. dropsy, gravel and Bright's
dis ase may follow as the kidneys
get worse. Don't neglect your kid
neys. Help the kidneys with Doan's
Kidney Pills, which are so strongly
recommend ed right here in Lanca- ter.

says: "For years my kidneys and
bladder had been dlsordered. My
back ached most of the time and if

of summer The bath is one of the few
remains of ancient times. 1t is very
little known even by Londoners and
almost altogether unknown to visit

Those who plunge into its absolute
ly icy water fed from natural spring
have the satisfaction of knowing that
they are bathing in the same spot as
their Roman forbears. The bath is
13 feet long and about 16 feet across.
