local merchants, has had an immense
trade. and today, the winding up hours
for holiday shopping. the stores are
croaded almost greater than ever be-

Advices from the west indicate tho
Christmas sales TO have also been un-

tended throughout the country, that
the people had laid aside more OF
their earnings, when times were good
and wages high, than is reflected IN
the reports OF the banks and savings
institutions.

FEVER ON THE DECLINE.
No New Cases Reported, Total Num-
Der OF Patients Is 81.

No new cases Of scarlet fever have
been reported TO the Board of Health
and no reports have been received
by the public school authorities OF
any new cases having developed
among the school children OF the city.
This is accepted as a most encourag-
Ing sign by tho city officials who be-
ieve the disease is being held well
in hand and that there is little likeli-
hood of its spreading to any appreci-
able extent.
The records of tho Board Of Health
show that tho fever is actually de-
creasing in tho city. Last week there
was a total OF 81 cases reported. This
week there have been but 90 new
cases and the majority Of these were
among tho school children. The strict
preventative measure adopted by the
health board are believed largely re-
eponsible Tor the falling off in the
number OF patients suffering from this
disease.
