The Slow, Sluggish, Torpid Action of the Liver is Responsible for Many Ills. Milburn's I,axa-Liver Pills stimulate the sluggish liver, clean the coated tongue, sweeten the obnoxious breath, clean away all waste and poisonous matter from the system,. and prevent as well as cure all complaints arising from a' liver which h:es become inactive. Constipation, sick headache, bilious headache, jaundice, heartburn, water brash, catarrh of the stomach, etc:, all come from a disordered liver. Mr. Victor' B. McNeills, Sandstone, Alta., writes: "I thought I would write and tell you of my experience with' Milburn's ' Laxa-Liver Pills, as 11 am greatly pleased with the results I re- ceived by - using them. I was troubled with sick headache for a long time, and would get so sleepyrright after I ate my dinner that I could not do any work. A friend of mine, from 'Toronto, visited me last summer and he asked me to; try Milburn's, I,axa-Liver Pills. He told me` they; had done him so much good for his stomach. I used several vials, and I found they did me so much good that I can recommend them to any one suffer., ing from liver trouble." IVlilburn's Laxa-Liver Pills are 25c a vial, 5' vials for $1.00, at all dealers, or ed direct on rcceipt of price by The: T. Milburn Co„ Limited, "Toronto: Ont. against renningly me "at away a!

With this she picked from a shelf and set down on the counter a lemon -col- ored chrysanthemum : that nodded its feathered head, otx' its tall stem. The little girl`" shook her head. ""I want the tree, she said, half under her breath, her eyes,. which never left the sprtice;.� large with the vision of lighted tapers dancing upon its branches. "But you see, Elsie,',' said the boy, "if we get the tree there ain't nothin' over for candies and toys.','';{- And as.he spoke he pointed with his thumb over his shoulder across the street to where;the flaring gas, lights of the toy stall illuminated its rows of dolls, drums and trum- pets. "Don't you see," he said,. keep-' ing clown the choke in his voice, ""if it all goes on the tree It- won't be• much of a surprise for mother after all."

There are always :•'sante last-minute purchases: neces- sary. Someone has. been forgotten, or something neceessarr for the tree or the stockings has been for- gotten. But sit down now and make ont a list of the things you know about now that you need be- fcri.m t'hristtn as and buy them to- morrow if possible. Segund. don't plan to do more than you can do without "making yourself ill. If you feel nervous and rushed -with work to finish your Christmas gifts, don't '•finish them. Send letters or cards instead of the gifts you had planned to make. Remember, that you owe it to your family not 'to he ill or tired to•the point of exhaustion or nervous on Christmas Day. Send your Christmas gifts as early as you `can' send :them.' The attractive tags that are sold now' to put on Christmas bozee to wi'arn. those whsa receive theta that .the boxes are ;not to be opened „t til Christmas can be used on the boxes sent now. But remember that ,the express men and'the• postal clerks and carriers will be overworked for the next three days, and try to make their work easieri by sending' your gifts at once. "We had almost bought it for ninepence; we didn't count to give as much, because of the candles; but we were just going to say we would," • the boy explained. He stared up at them, his face pale, his eyes •aghast with sorrow and dis- may. "I said as they could have it for nine' pence; they didn't seem able to make up their minds," the stall- woinan ;explained. Her husband looked back. "It's sold now," he said, roughly. , The young'fellow in the trap hesi- tated, the tree still in 'hips, hands. He glanced at his wife. She smiled 'at him waveringly.
