 MAuTTLEOvER THREE WEEKS

MT. Harvey Millen, one of the most prominent residents of this section Is busy telling his friends these days how he came to be transformed from Q thin. weak man into a big, strong, strapping fellow in less than month. Just think, he gained 14h pounds in that length of time and is still gaining in weight. The secret is that he is taking Goldine No. 1, the herbal tonic and stomach medicine. Besides con- taining the extracts of good, sinew- building herbs which are necessary in the building up of the body, this med icine puts the stomach in first class condition and enables it to digest the food thoroughly so that every bit of food that can be used in the body Is separated from the waste and carried by the blood to the various parts Of the body. That is what puts on the weight and enlarges the muscles and tendons. And Goldine is the only medicine which is able to do this.
 MT. Milen says: ITor long time had that tired, lAzy feeling which makes the least Dit of work seem hard and kills ambition Also I was losing weight right along, although l

Easter lilies, too, though rather cold
and white for Christmas, are sold. vi

darkly, beautifully blue. Some mi
gnonette now comes in enormous
sprays. There are carnations but the
bright red Christmas carnation is the
favorite. Holly comes from the hills
Of Maryland and the south. The wild
holly supplies the market and there
has never seemed to be any percepti-
BILE diminution of the supply. Great
quantities of IL are purchased by all
sorts of dealers, who decorate their
stores with IL and send out sprig at

YULETIDE THORN TREE SAVED
Blooming Glastonbury, Subject OF
Beautiful Legends of Christmas,
Was Doomed to Destruction.

0NE of the most beautiful legends
" of Christmas is that of the Glas-
tonbury thorn. The thorn tree grew
at Glastonbury Abbey, in Somerset
shire, and was supposed TO have de-
veloped from the staff Of Joseph Of
Arimathea. According to the legend
Joseph came to Glastonbury and while
he was resting on a hill. afterward
known as Weary All hill, he stuck his
staff in the earth. The staff immedi-
ately grew green and budded, and at
Christmas time it biossomed into
beautiful flowers.
One chronicler states that during
Queen Elizabeth's reign the thorn had
a double trunk, but that somewhat
bigoted Puritan, who disliked the tree
because to his mind ii smacked OF
popery, started to cut it down, and
succeeded in demolishing one Of the
trunks. miracle rescued the re-
naming trunk of the tree by causing
a chip of wood to fly up and hit the
Puritan In the eye. while at the same
time he slipped and cut his leg.
Later the tree was grubbed up. but
a number Of smaller trees raised from
slips Of the original are said to be
owned by persons in the neighbor-
hood.

Our commerciaIized Christmas.

Christmas is the decoration day of
commercial age. Then, as on no
otner day, we face with compassion
those who have fallen In our battles
for wealth. For moment we think
of the thousands of children who have
no share In that easy life we give our
children, and must find the seasons
Joy In the charity dinner. Along with
the barter to which we have debased
our giving within our circle Of ac-
quaintances, we play at extending the
spirit of the day to those who are
the pawns of our industrial game. The
Salvation army lass, standing cold and
numb on the street corner, collecting
funds for Christmas baskets for the
poor, reminds us of the wreckage left
