"HE number of business houses
and corporations that send out
Christmas and New Year cards
10 their patrons has so greatly in !
creased that the firm which does
not DO so is more or less con-
spicuous by their neglect. These
little messages by their personal
touch. promote good feeling, and be- Z
sides showing appreciation of past
favors, act as reminders of the firms
continued desire to serve. At A.
Pomorantz & Co., 1925 Chestnut
street, there is fresh stock of these
cards, folders and envelopes, ready
for engraving; all showing the
Christmas spirit by appropriate de-
signs or sentiments. Many, beside
extending the compliments of the
season, add the hope that the New
Year will crown the allied arms with
victory, and that peace. will ensue
for the nations of the earth.
,IVXIHAT good can waters do
w me?" is frequently scorn-
fully asked, though down
through the ages mineral waters
have been celebrated for relieving
the ills the flesh is heir to, when
medicines have proved of no avail.
Every land has these benefcent
springs, and those of our own coun-
try are among the most potent. The
Mountain Valley Water, sold at 71S
Chestnut street, comes from a cold
nring in the neighborhood of the
Hot Springs, Arkansas. 1t posse sses
many Soints in common, and is
known as water especially effica-
cious for neuritis and sciatica. Tes-
imonials from physicians and pa
tnts show that by its virtue of
elimination it has not only been Of
the greatest of help in relieving
these troubles, but that those who
use the water are in better health.
@HAIRS that squeak and groan
! when SAT- upon, moulding that
opens in unsightly cracks,
floors that creak when walked upon,
and sore throats and noses are all
the result Of dry, harsh air in
stuffy rooms. Hot air takes moisture
from wherever it finds it. 1t takes
it out of wood, and the furniture
falls to pieces; it takes it out of the
nose and throat and-well, they
don't drop apart, but infection fol-
lows. To avoid all this, at J. Frank
lin Miller, 1912 Chestnut street, get
a Buddington Humidifier, a simple
device for the top of radiators, to
moisten dry air. The containef
filled with water, has wicks, one
edge of which remains in the water
and the other is out on the wings,
thus producing moisture by evapo-
ation.
CUGAR is a source of energy and
heat, and the American people
are the most energetic in the
world--and the greatest candy eat
ers. Query? Is candy eating the
result of the energy, or the energy
he result of the candy? Personally,
I lose all leSSitude at the mere men \
ion of good bonbons, and as for
their -heat-producing qualities s a
present of a. box stirs up my warm-
est feelings for the giver, especially
If bought at E. Bradford Clarke Co,
1920 Chestnut street. Their candies,
made in strict conformity with the
regulations of the Food Administers
ton, are very delicious. Most of the
chocolates have nut or fruit filings,
and the glace prunes are stuffed
with fruits. Then there are almonds.
crystallized ginger, and all kinds Of
glace fruits, sold loose or in prettily
decorated wooden boxes.
