the popular young men of Lampasas

ceased lived at Tucumcari, N. M., and
it-is supposed that he was buried at
that place, by the side of his mother
and father’s grave.

MOVE UP A NOTCH
The Leader wants to call the atten-
tion of the general public to the dis-
loyal abbreviation of the word “Christ-
mas” and the use of “Xmas.” They
tell us the Greek word for Christ be-
gins with X, and others who have
written on the subject of the origin
of the word say it came into use be-
cause it symbolized the cross which
Christ bore on the way to His cruci-
fixion on Calvary. Which of these
theories is correct is not necessary
to this argument, because we are not
in the habit of using symbols for
words, and therefore the good word
“Christmas,” which should bring
thoughts of a more cheerful nature
reminding us of the Christ which God
gave as His best gift to the world,
and from which act we get the idea
of gifts to those we love and appre-
ciate. Xmas is a distortion and in a
sense a profanation of the word
Christmas and there is a discussion
taking place to do away with it and
we heartily agree that it should not
be used any longer. We should learn
to spell C-H-R-I-S-T-M-A-S and cut
the word Xmas out of our vocabulary.
The word has a sacred meaning and
implication and also a joyous one and
it should not be used as a slang ex-
pression by any one. Children, espe-
cially, love the word Christmas, and
the older people who use the word
Xmas in its stead fail to lend to them
that pleasure that is derived from see-
ing the word Christmas. Let’s use
Christmas in all of our writings,
greetings and advertisements and soon
we will forget the wrong word by
pushing it out of our minds and
thoughts.
Mrs. Cab Cunningham returned

ful way.

Many Lampasas Folks Hava Felt
That Way.
Feel all out of sorts ?
Tired, achy, blue, irritable?
Back lame and stiff?

neys.
Of toxic poisons circulating about
Upsetting blood and nerves.
There’s a way to feel right again.
Help your weakened kidneys with
Doan’s Pills—a stimulant diuretic.
Doan’s are recommended by many
people in this locality.
Mrs. J. E. Lipds-’.y Goldthwaice,
Tex., says: “I had such pains in my
kidneys I could hardly get around.
When I stooped I could scarcely
straighten. I had headaches and was
so nervous, I couldn’t stand the least
noise. My hands and feet swelled
twice their size and my kidneys acted
irregularly. Doan’s Pills took all the
swelling down and stopped my back
from hurting. I haven’t had any re-
turn of the trouble.”
