Simplicity Will .-
Mark [nanguration
Washingtonf Dec. 25, —Jeffer
sonian simplicity will mark the
inauguration’of President Wilson.
There probably will be the greatest
outpouring of people that ever
marked the inauguration of a
President, but, according to Chair
man William Eustis, there will be
no ostentation. He contends that
true Democracy demands that
there be no display. Subscrip
tions to the $150,000 inaugural
fund are coming fast, and the fund
undoubtedly will be over-subscrib

A Mistaken Idea
Some people may think that because the
FIRST NATIONAL BANK is one of the strong
est and most influential banks in this section, it
only wants large accounts.
This is distinctly a mistaken idea. Although
this is in every sense a “big” bank, and many
“big” accounts are handled here, small aocounts
are most cordially invited. The new depositor is
assured uf prompt, courteous attention; and his
account, however small, is given as careful at
tentien as the largest.
Why not make this YOUR bank?

l Dr. W3alker said onions were
iparticularly against smallpox.
The use of the vegetable in two
cities at least, has proven her
contention to be correct, she said.
Madrid was one of the affected
cities, she said; ‘“‘some even had
made the statement ‘before the
onions were used that the city
would be depopulated by small
pox. The ministry plenipoten
tiary assured her that the spread
of the disease had been halted t'y
the use of unions.
