When the yellow flag of quarantine
is hoistcd over dwelling it means disease
and danger. SO when the yellow flag
flies in the face-when the cheek is sallow
and the clear white of the eye is dyed

trouble. The liver is one of the most i'm
portant organs Of the body. On the
proper discharge Of its functions depend
human health and happiness. When the
liver fails of its duty, poisons at once be-

THE EDITOR AND THE PEOPLE.

An editor who had conducted news
paper for thirty long years one day de-
cided that if he could find a man in his
town to take charge for a week ne
would sc on vacation. He therefore
started out in search, and put the ques-
ton 10 lawyers, doctors and men of all
professions. To his amazement each
and every one replied:
IN take charge for you, of course,
and I'll show you that you never knew
how to run q newspaper" When
through with the professions the editor
went among the mechanics and labor
ing men, but still the answer was the
same. At the end of four days he had
found but one single individual who
doubted himself, and who said:
Il am subject to fits and periods of
temporary insanity, and perhaps !
ought not to tackle the job, but | can
tell you one thing, just the same. What
you ought to do is to drop the newspa-
per business and take to a sawmill." (
MORAL: (
The editor pegged away without 8
vacation.
