not have been In session TO-DAY for
anything that was accomplished. There
was Slight squirt of activity in the
first hour, and after that the market be-
came lethargic. The prehohday iniiu-

although there was lacking the. usual
trimming process caused by closing up
of accounts over the holiday. such
outstanding accounts being apparently
at a minimum.

COMPLEXION SECRETS
Only One Way to Secure Clear
Skin.

In most Instances bad complex
ion Is due to neglect OF the little
things In life that are essential TO
natural beauty. All manner OF sug-
lgestions have been offered by skin
specialists, but all agree that the
Ionly sure way to secure clear,
healthy complexion is 10 conform
Iclosely as possible TO the laws of
nature. To preserve your fresh
mes and beauty, you should live sim
Iply take plenty of outdoor exercise,
drink quantities of water and bo
careful of your diet Remember,
too, that beauty Is a good deal more
than skin deep. II is blood deep,
anu depends also upon your liver,
your kidneys and the activity of your
bowels. For nearly two years now
they have been telling the ladies OF
the beneficial effects that Laxakoia
Tonic Tablets have ON the skin.
The principal Ingredients in them
are cascarln and dandellon and ev-
cry doctor knows that these rem.
edies start the liver going, drive
out impurities, encourage the ac
tion of the bowels and help clear
up the complexion.
F'looken's Drug Store will gladly
pay your 25 cents back II these lit.
tie tablets fail to thoroughly bene-
Il you. 12.14fritf

THE MORALS OF BOY READERS

BENG u boy" has its disad-
vantages III Worcester, Mass. where
The directors of the Public Library
nave barred the books Of Horatio
Alger, jr., from their shelves as
untruthful" and "too sensational
for young readers. No more shall
the Ragged Dicks and Tattered
Toms be permitted to contaminate
the innocence OF budding minds.
Why indeed should boys seek the
companionship of those "undesir-
ables" along with that of the Tom
Sawyers and Huck Finns' the
Gavroches and other gamins Of juv-
emile fiction, when they may asso-
ciate with Little Lord Fauntlerop
and Rollo?
If they cannot have Alger there
are compensations, though not in
."Oliver Optic" or De Mile, moi
vet in that "Story Of "A Bad Boy
of whose home the. citizens of
Portsmouth, N. H., have made a
literary shrine. But nice little
Worcester lads aspiring to acquire
merit at the library may ask for the
works of Louisa NJ. Alcott and
Mrs. Whitney without a blush
They will find much moral uplifting
in the tales Of T. S. Arthur and in
Mary Howitt's stories for the young
What prudent mother will prefer
Ia have her son make chum of
Rebecca" when he can have
Maria Edgeworth's RoSamnd and
Lucy for playmates?
Alger was clergyman, as was
Charles Kingsley, whose Westward
Ho" has recently been barred from
a village library in England. But
the point of view of a PASTORS
study may differ from that Of a
library, In the ease Of Alger the
correctional measures are applied
rather late. At his death eight years
ago the poison of his works had
coursed through 100000 youthful
minds. Who can say to how many
crime waves thev gave an initial
impurseY New York World.
