This schedule will provide a train every three minutes during Ahe non rush hours and every one-and-threc-quarter minutes during rush periods. Christmas shoppers will appreciate this new order of things, and it is only one of the many civic improvements which the pro prietors of the Chestnut Street Shops have secured for the benefit of the buying public. SOMETHING new for a first course or dessert is a thing to be welcomed, and hothouse grapes from Belgium are something different and delicious. Henry It. Hnllowell & Son, Broad Street belpw Chestnut, have immense perfectly shaped bunches of them, he third post-war shipment. The vines on which these grapes were produced are over 300 years old. Their roots aro outside the hothouse, so that no injurious dampness will reach the grapes, and while still green, tho, bunches are clipped so that they will mature to perfect shape. Each grape is dusted with a camel's-hair brush to preserve its exquisite coloring. When you see the grapes at Hallo well's you will readily agree that the result is well worthy of such effort. NCE moro I issue a word of warning on the subject of Christmas card engraving. It is more important this year than ever before to place your orders early, owing to the instability of labor conditions at tho present time. Frank J.

Why We Do Not Sell Toilet Preparations Containing Lead Compounds The dictionary says (hat "lead acetate, or sugar of lead, is a crystalline salt prepared by dissolving lead or litharge in vinegar or pyroligenous acid," and that "in large doses it is a violent irritant poison." As used in so-called HAIR RESTORERS or SKIN PREPARATIONS, one would not get lead acetate in "large doses," of course; but the analytical chemist and the physician who are associated with this Store advise that lead, so used, is nevertheless a poison. They quote many authorities to prove that lead poisoning is a com mon and often very serious condition, leading to various maladies not always easily traceable to the true cause. A leading medical authority says: "The clinical importance of the subject and its complexity ure very largely increased by the fact that lead poisoning at times appears in most peculiar clinical guises, and the nature of tho condition is likely to be overlooked, particularly if a source of intoxication is not readily suggested by the history." , Another authority says: "Hair dyes and cosmetics notori- ou.-.ly contain lead, and have frequently occasioned paralysis, ophthalmia and other unpleasant symptoms." Other noted works on toxicology will be quoted from time to time to show why wc do not sell certain prepara tions containing lead, mercury or any other drugs de clared to be harmful in the particular formulae refused admittance to our Toilet Goods Store. These precautions we have taken and are taking so that our customers may feel assured that every one of the hundreds of Toilet Preparations sold here is entirely SAFE to use for the purposes intended.
