Alexandria's Importance as the
shopping center for Northern Virginia
has been greatly enhanced in the last
decade through the development OF
the furniture business Of Mr.. Frank
Michelbach, the largest individual
home furnisher in the city and the
man who is known throughout half
a dozen counties as the "home furnish
er."
And well may the title be given him
for in his extensive establishment
at 814-S16 King Street is carried per-
haps the largest stock of furniture
handled by any retail merchant in
Virginia and his business has grown
to tremendous proportions through APP
plication of quality and square deal
methods.
The first floor of this modern build
ing is devoted to dining room suites
and living room furniture, as well as
the Pathc Photograph Department
in which are up-to-datc sound proof
boothes for demonstration purposes.
Bedroom suites predominant on the
second floor, these ranging up to the
most exquisite made by the worlds
greatest furniture makers. The rug
department is equipped with racks
holding one hundred rugs, which is
only a part Of its stock. In addition
there are other floor coverings, includ-
ing Enoleun1. etc. Bed coverings,
brass and iron beds arc also handled
Hoosicr cabinets are the speciality
on the third floor as we'll as stoves and
ranges, libarary tables, extension ia
bles, and the window shade depart
ment.
The fourth floor is occupied by the
stock room and work shop, where eX-
pert cabinet makers are employed.
The business has been greatly en-
larged since Mr.. Miche!bach establish
ed it back in 1910. and he has staff
OF thirteen experienced furniture
statesmen, an elaborate office, and uses
two trucks in delivering sales.
Mr.. Michelbach has been in the fur
niturc business seventeen years. He
erected his present modern structure
in 1919, and has made it the furniture
shopping headquarters Tor thls sec
ton.
Mr. Michclbach is one Of the most
prominent business men in Alexan-
dria. He is~a Mason and a Shriner,
ali Odd Fellow and Moose, and is af-
filiated with the kiwaniS Club and the
Chamber OF Commerce. No man in
the city is more aggressively inter
estcd in public and civic affairs, and he
is always found ready and willing
to give to his time and means in sup
port of any cause designed to build
up the community and promote its
prosperity and development. He is
broad-guaged, liberal and public spir-
tied and a great asset to the city.

Potamac Lodge No. s, |. 0. Q. T.,
was chartered by the Grand Lodge
OF the District OF Columbia on March
10Th, 1889. At that time Alexandria
city was part of the District OF

go together in the barber shops, and
any one who has ever given it a
thought will recall that there IS a
feeling of satisfaction with oneself
when shaved and shined. 1t takes a
good shoe to shine wei.
Good shoes are the chief item IN
the business establishment of Mr.. }.
E. Purcell at 1920 King street. Mr..
Purcell has been established in the
shoe, dry goods and notions business
in Alexandria for the last twenty
years, and with shoes his leading
speciality for many years his establish

iums in this section.
Mr.. Purcell's store, which he owns,
as well as the place at III South

lines of shoes are carried among them

BATHING THE BABY

A daily tub bath should be given
the baby as soon as the naval has
entirely healed, usually about the
tenth day. The bath should be given
not less than an hour after feeding.
The temperature Of the room should
be from 70 to ~ degrees in the part
Of the room where the bath is to take
place. In order not. to chill the baby
or tire him the bath should be given
quickly and without interruption, and
everything to be used should be col
lected and placed within reach before
undressing him, so that clean cloth
ing, soft towels, 2 wash cloths. pure
white soap, powder absorbent cot
ton and so forth will be at hand when
needed The bath tub should last OF
ali be filled with water and its tenn
craturc tested by means of a bath
thermometer. The temperature should
be from 9S to 100 degrees. After the
baby is three months old, slightly
cooler water should be splashed over
his chest, back, neck and arms just
after he is removed from the tub,
and as he grows older the tempera-
turc of his cool splash can be re-
duccd. Children who become accus-
toned to cool water in this way take
kindly to their cold showers later.
The baby's face should be washed
first and dried carefully while his
body is still covered Next the head
should be washed; little soap should
be used, but on no account must it
get in his eyes Then the entire body
should be soaped with the hand, and
then the baby should be placed gently
in the tub, his head and shoulders
supported by the attendants left
hand and forearm. Care should be
taken to rinse off all soap but the
baby should not stay in the tub more
than two or three minutes; after he
has been removed from the tub he
should be wrapped At once in soft
bath towel. He should be dried gent
~ but thoroughly by patting with 4
soft, warm towel rather than by rub
bing. Folds Of the skin should be
dried with especial care. A little
powder may be applied, but baby
who is kept both clean and dry will
not need much powder, If any. The
baby should next be quickly dressed
with as little turning and moving as
possible. Clothing should be drawn
on over the feet instead Of over the
head, and the petticoat should be
placed inside OF the slip so that the
two garments may go on simuitan-
eous!y. The baby should be kept
warm after his bath ana not exposed
TO draughts.

MENTAL CONDITIONS OF THE
PATIENT

1t is important that the mental con-
dition Of person who is sick be
watched very closely, although under
no circumstances should he be allowed
to realize this fact as it would pro-
badly be extremely depressing to him.
In some illnesses the patient appears
perfectly normal, but there are others.
in which he may be irritable, restless.
depressed, apsthetic, dull, excited,
wandering, delirious or unconscious.
A nigh temperature is apt to make a
person drowsy and listless, unless it is
very high, when he is apt to become
dcIirious, while any illness that cx-
hausts the strength will probably pro-
duce dull, apathctic condition Of the
mind. A hasty judgement OF mental
condition should sc avoided, and the
patient should be watched closely ove-
a considerable period Of time before
