savage thing to beat weary or starved

In treating the tagging, torpid liver it is
a great mistake to lash it with strong
drastic drugs. A torpid liver is but an
indication of an ill-nourished, enfeebled
body whose organs are weary with over
work. Start with the stomach and allied
organs Of digestion and nutrition. Put
them in working order and see how
quickly your liver will become active.

organs of digestion and nutrition. It re-
stores the normal activity of the stomach,
increases the secretions of the blood-mak-

liver of the burdens imposed upon it by
the detection OF other organs.

Thanksgiving Proclamations Of the

was the first president to designate

the day of thanksgiving twice in sue

which made the event explicitly "a
day OF thanksgiving and praise"
was issued October ;, 1868, in the
midst OF the civil war. 1t is litera-
~ masterpiece. Instead of begin
ming with a review of victories at
arms, it appropriately opens thus:
The year that il drawing towards
its close has been filed with blessings
OF fruitful field and healthful skies"

OF the war, giving thanks that foreign
nations have remained at peace with
us and commencing to Goods ten

claimed the second Thursday in

by the commissioners There is rather
more OF popular interest, however, in
the drug store question.
Speaking from the standpoint OF a
druggist, one gentleman stated today
that the drug stores are a great public
convenience and necessity, and that ~
they were closed on the Sabbath there
would be public suffering because OF
INABILITY TO have prescriptions filled.
The drug stores" he continued. "do
not have sufficient business in the
mere compounding OF prescriptions to
JUSTIFY Keeping open on Sundays for
that purpose alone. as most of the
profit is In the side lines. such as the
sale or soda. candies, cigars etc"
Iaking up this point an opponent OF the
department store business that the minis
ters claim is being done by certain drug
stores said "If the police commission Is
prepared to admit the principle here set
forth. on what ground could II refuse to
permit certain big department store in
this city, one OF the largest I'm all New
England. from keeping open on Sunday
and selling carpets, furniture, stoves,
meats etc, IL it's proprietor was so dis
posed? IL has drug business connected
with IL, completely equipped drug store.
but that stores drug business is by no
means the principal part OF the depart
ment stores business. Still. there would
be just as much justice in permitting
every other department TO keep open as
to permit other drug stores to sch freely
from their stocks in other departments
than the drug department."
