The spirit of Christmas has taken hold of Kingston, and all that is now necessary to make the Yuletide sea- son & complete success is a fall of snow, sp that there will be good sleighing. Good sleighing is needed to bring the farmers to the city, in large numbers, and the merchants are now hopipg that Old Probs will send along a good snow storm as soon as possible. Shop early and often, says the Porismouth philosopher. The mer- chants are already beginping to feel the result of the Christmas trade. Of coyrse, it is not by any means heavy as yet, but every little bit helps, and if there is a small rush just now, il meany that there will be something doin later on. Merchants are looking for a good trade, this season. All the stores are gaily decorated, and are most inviting The old advice of shop early," should be adbered to. It is a well known fact that the early shopper gets the very best there is to be had. Every shopper knows that if he goes into a store just a few days before Christ- mas he will find that everything has been picked over, and that there is very little choice in what has been left, A merchant was asked by the Whig if he thought the people were doing their shopping earlier, this season. "Yes," he replied, "I believe they are. In our store, we have been quite busy, and it would appear as if all the other stores have been busy, too." The newspapers have, no doubt, edu- cated the people to the advantage of doing one's Christmas shopping early. When people begin to realize that goods are more or less damaged (he last week of the rush, and that there is not the same variety there will be a still greater effort to shop early. ~ There are many very pretty window displays in the city.

"The White Squaw," described as a attraction at the Grand, return en gagement, on Saturday, December 10th, matinee and night, under the direction of Louis ¥. Werba. This play is from the pen of Della Clarke, happily remembered for her work as an actress under the management of Charles Frohman. In "The Whi Squaw." Miss Clarke is said to have built one of the strongest stories and also one of the most beautiful and dramatic of modern times. Over and above all else, this is a 'dean play and there j§ not one touch of villainy in the entire. performance. Ite theme is romantic and its are picturesque and interesting for Miss Clarke has drawn for her mater- ial upon one of the most absorbing periods in American history. The scenes are laid in the Michigan forests near to what was then the little set- tlement of Detroit, for the people in this play lived something like a cen- tury ago. Indians of the real Ameri can type, trappers of fur-yielding ani- mals, traders and those hardy pio- neers of native progress who blazed the way to our nation's greatness were employed as characters in ' the building of this drama.

This sum, says a well wn doctor attached to a city hospital, is the price that is charged lay specialists for the minor operation of inoculation against colds 'caused by bacteria. This is a new treatment that has recently been largely experimented with not only at the ital to which the doctor is attached, but also at two other London hospitals. "Now is the time when colds, arth, and influenza are getting seri ously to work," he said, "but I am afraid that the new treatment is not for the poot man, for the usual charge made is 325, and the effect of the ne oculation wears off in about a 'month. "The serum used to inoculate people is made by growing the bacilli that cause the ailment in a sorf of broth, The germs multiply very rapidly, and in the process of so doibg produce the poisons which, when the germs deyelop m_ the blood, give rise to the symp- toms of illness. "When these symptome--or toxins-- have been produced in the broth it is sterilized by heat, so that the germs are kil "A small quantity of this broth, now called a serum, is injected into the blood, which immediately re- sponds by producing anti-toxin sub. stances which wage war on the poison. "Thesé . anti-toxine are capavle of dealing with any catarrh gerins which may obtain entry into the.circewlatory system; but in about. a month, our experience shows, the antitoxins dis- appear, so that, if one would remain immune from colds, one must again he inoculated, at the cost of another cat- "l am afraid that the man who can. not afford $300 5 year for inoculation will have to pay upon the old met hods. "There are, of course, some people who are comstantly the victims of colds. Perhaps in their case it would be well if they made an effort to pay for the treatment, for a long course of it should tend to establish a more per: manent immunity." : What Makes Power Dear. London' Advertiser. London buys enetgy at Niagara for 89 per horsepower per annum, amd it costs $14.50 extra per horsepower to transmit the energy from the Falls to London, This $14.50, represenis. chiefly interest on the cost of the tranemis- sion lines, and a sinking fund provi- sion to wipe out the cost in thirty years. The amount is necessarily add. ed to the price'ofl power. If the gov- ernment would pay for the cost of transmission, a flat rate would be practicable and equitable, the municip- alities merely paying for the cost of generating the power at Niagara. The government could charge somewhat higher than the cost price of power, and the increased demand for it un- der the flat rate system would go a long way toward paying the interest on the cost of hiilding transmission lines. 3 the demand became such that it could not be wholly supplied the Ontario Power eg Lb ernment need not hesitate to expropri- terms just to bondholders and share ate the other power companies upon holders, Slayer Declared.
