CASTOR IA For Infant3 and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought Signature of HOW CHRISTMAS BEGAN. Date of December 25 Set In Fourth Century by Decision of Pope Julius -Name Originated From Spe cial Mass. It is generally understood that the true (late of Christ's birth cannot be ascertained front the New Testament, nor from an.) other source, llut all controver sy an to the date wan bappiU terminated in the fourth ceutuo 1 by the decision of Dope Julius, who had an investigation made by St. Ceci and became fully eat i-fied that, as nearly as could be ascertained, December 25 was the correct date. Before the end of the fourth century the dictum | was universally accepted, and since that time nobody has ever seriously thought of seeking to I change the date. The observance of the festival | of the Nativity was from the be- j i ginning called Christmas (Christ- j mass,) because a special mass was cefebrated on that day. The pure glow of the spiritual festi val dissipated the dark clouds of Ic-ntious and wicked ceremo nies that marked the notorious liomau Saturnalia; hut the Christian observance, while ex terminating the rites of the heathen festival which it dis placed, permitted many of the pleasing and iunocent features to remain. Among these are customs which survive in the twentieth century?the decorat ing with evergreens, holly, ana laurel; the burning of the Yule log, and the singing of Christian carols, which are the evolutions of the ancient hymns of praise to Saturn and Bacchus and other heathen gods. it was not uutil tne sixtti cen tury that the whole of Christen dom united in keepingCbristmas on the same day. The reasons for this delay in instituting the feast are summed up by an au thority who explains that, in the first place, no corresponding fes tival was presented by the Old Testament, as in the case of Raster and Pentecost; second, the day and the mouth of tne birth of Christ are nowhere stat ed in Gospel history, aud cannot certainly be determined; third, that the Church lingered at hrst about the death aud resurrection of Christ, the completed fact of redemption, aud made this the center of the weekly worship and the Church year; aud fourth,that the earlier feast of, Epiphauy af forded a substitute for the festi val of the Nativity.?New York Evening Post.

Dr. Shoop's?that we regard as suitable, even for the youngest child. For years, Dr. Shoop bitterly opposed the use of opiates or narcotics in medicine, offering ?10 per drop to any one finding Opium, Chloroform, or any other poisonous or narcotic ingredient in Dr. Shoop's Cough Cure. And the challeuge is as yet unanswered. Here is one manufacturing physician, who welcomed with much satisfac tion, the new Government Pure Food and Drug Law. The pub lic can now protect itself at all times, by insisting on having Dr. Shoop's, when a cough rem edy is needed." Sold by Hood Bros., Druggists. A TIME TO ALL THINGS.

AsK for the Genuine And see that you get what you asK for The largely increased demand for Sun Cured tobacco, created and sustained by the distinctive quality of the original Reynolds' Sun Cured tobacco, has encouraged other manufacturers to place on the market imitation brands and tags which are.made to look so near like the genuine Reynolds' Sun Cured that unsuspecting chewers and dealers receive the imitations under the belief that they are getting the genuine Reynolds' Sun Cured tobacco. Look close and see that the letters on the tag spell R-e-y-n-o-l-d-s' Sun Cured, and you cannot be deceived in getting what you ask for and want, ?the best value for your money that can be produced from the genuine Sun Cured tobacco, grown where the best sun-cured tobacco grows. ASK FOR "REYNOLDS'" and see that you get the original and genuine Sun Cured tobacco. It's like you formerly got, before Reynolds' Sun Cured was offered to the trade, costing from 60c to $1.00 per pound, and is sold at 50c per pound in 5c cuts, strictly 10 and 15 cent plugs. R. J.
