FOR A POET’S HUSBAND
Miss Mary lx?a Davis
A present for my husband for Christ* j
mas!
Is that what I heard you say”
AVell, don’t give him something ir
December
That he can not use tiil Ala'
Or anything that’s too fancy:
Such things men dewpise.
A comfortable pair of slippers will do
If you only get the right size!
if he has a special hobby ,
Remember to keep that in view,
A cushion for his easy chair
That he knows wan made by you;
A smoking jacket, some handker*
chiefs.
Tis not the gift, but the giver.
That makes ii a valuable thing
I think what ere you decide on
And arrange about his place.
The best of all will be to him
Your happv, smiling face.

GIVER, NOT GIFT.
Mary Lea Davis
The true spirit of giving, a pure,
ievtng motive, should aooompan>
any gift, no matter how simple it
may be, and then the apprecia
tion is not based on its value in
dollars and cents. My husband
is practical enough to appreciate
any useful present, such as a
pretty tie* nice collar bag or some
handkerchiefs MRS H. W. C.

GIFT TO A WIFE.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:

A GIFT OF LOVE
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
A wife’s appreciation of a gift
from her husband is shown in a #
beautiful manifestation of love*
and affection, provided the gift
comes from a heart and soul that
she realizes is truly her own,
whether it be a diamond brooch
or a pair of bedroom slippers.
Hither of these gifts presented on
Christ mas morning “For My
Darling with a loving kiss wlli
bring tears of joy ano assure her
that her husband's best gift is
the priceless '"iff of love.

EASY RELIEF
FROM CONSTIPATION
The Remedy that Replaces Calomel.
Causes No Restriction of
Habit or Diet.
Ii is a mistake to take calomel when
your liver is lazy and needs toning
ifp. Hundreds of people in this sec
tion have discovered that Dodson’s
Liver Tone is a thousand times bet
ter and safer and its action is just
as sure. There are none of the bad
after-effects of calomel tg Dodson’s
Liter Tone and no danger of saliva
tion.
For attacks of constipation or bil
iousness one or two spoonfuls <»f this
m'ld, pleasant-tasting vegetable liq
uid are enough, and all druggists give
a personal guarantee that every bot
tle will uo all that is claimed for it
•
fails.
Dodson's Liver Tone costs only 50
cents for a large bottle. Remember
he name, because there are any num
ber of remedies sold in imitation of
Dodson claims. Some of them have
names very similar, to Dodson’s Liver
| Tone—and are in .same color package.
These imitations are not guaran
teed and may be very harmful. Go
to an> dealer and you will surely get
the genuine.—Advt.

•QUAKER.’’
Two more remarkable c#.*sa were
brought to the attention of the Health
Teacher when here, which serve to
prove that worms are the cause of
over 60 per cent of ail ailments of
chi Wren, whies na.i been the conten
tion since the Health Teacher has been
here Mrs. A. L. McClendon, living at
17# Kelly street, has three children,
one hi* years old. one ten years old
wnd one thirteen All were in a weak,
nuny. run-down condition, restless at
• nigh:, nervous and trelful and were
listless, not having ambition to even
play. They would eat very little food,
and were the source of much anxiety
to their fond mother. Mrs. McClendon
procured a treatment of Quaker Ex
tract from Coursey & Munn’s drug
store, and. after giving it to her babes
for about two weeks, says they are ail
as red-cheeked and rosy, and full of
real life, as any children she ever saw.
They eat almost anything they can
get and are gaining strength right
along. One of them, the oldest, ex
pelled a large number of stomach
worm* soon after beginning the use of
Quaker Extract The other case is
that of the dear little flve-year-old
daughter of Mr. E. Robinson, living at
1 463 Bass street, wfio is a mtHorman in
this city. His little one. who had been
complaining with pains in the stomach,
restlessness and languid feeling, ex
pelled a great stomach worm, over 7
inches in length. With this proof that
their child was the victim of these
parasite*, the parents began to give
the little girl worm syrups, candies,
powders and various parasite expellers
(so called), but there were no more
worms of any kind passed. Still the
child became worse right along. The
father got a bottle of Quaker Extract
from Coursey A* Munn’s drug store,
and aft^r taking but tour doses his
babv passed over 24 large stomach
worms, averaging about four inches in
length, and all of which were alive
Tins had been the entire cause of her
very alarming condition, and Quaker,
bv expelling the cause, had created a
complete cure for all her symptoms.
Now. if your children are pale. puny,
restless at night and nervous during
the day. picking at their nose, gritting
their teeth, listless, and having pains
in the stomach, with a poor appetite,
don't you think you owe it to them
and yourself to2 get rid of all the
trouble” And now that school days
have begun, they wifi need even more
energy, more ambition and courage,
which can only bedisplayed by a real
live, healthy, normal child. Get some
of the wonderful Quaker Extract,
which will put the little ones of your
family Tn a normal state of health,
and rid their systems of all worms or
germs that may be infesting them.
The price is six for $5.00. three for
$2.50 or $1.00 a bottle
