popularity in England. but increased it.
On June the japanese officers on board
the japanese warship JUsukaba, lying at
Chatham docks. gave a dinner followed
by a dance. on board ship to their English
friends. who have been entertaining them
so generously. Dinner over, the dancing
began. and the asto1ished guests could

dancers were SO astonished when they re-

How the German poor keep up their

occasional outing to some pleasant garden

What CURED the BARBER,

A popular barber has, as most Of MS
customers know, been complaining a
great deal about malaria, and has been
going about his daily work with a
downcast face and an air of extreme
WEAKNESS. Recently he has acted like
a new man, and he says it is because
he has found q new medicine that he
wants everybody to know about.
"Of course" he said, Il knew nay
liver was to blame, and in addition to
my malaria I had bowel troubles and
constipation with such regularity as to
prove that my liver was not doing its
work properly l took various drugs
which were supposed to be good for
me, but which were not.
Finally a doctor gave me a
prescription which he says il purely
vegetable. and contains no harmful.
poisonous drugs that would leave a
man worse off than he was before.

no more lazy liver. no more chills or
anything of that kind.
Il will give you the prescription to
use if you see fit: Fluid extract of
Fringe Tree, one-half ounce; fluid
extra of Gentian. one-eighth ounce;
concentrated Lecto compound, one
ounce; syrup of Ginger, two and three
eighth ounces.
The dose is teaspoonful in a half
glass of water before each meal and at
bedtime. Help ont the excellent work
of the medicine by drinking plenty of
water and in taking a lot of hedlthful
