Tur- key and cranberry sauce. mashed po- tatoes, and onions stewed in cream, white grapes, and nuts and raisins- however the non-essentials varied. these things were always there.
 Christmas, Alas. there comes a day in life when all anniversaries are the gray antithesis of what they once were; when they serve not so much as guide posts pointing to the gold capped summit of life as milestones to remind you how long the journey has been and how brief it now must be.
 Among them all, those many that FOu now remember, one there Is that stands forth in particular, first, be- ,ause in its detail it is typical of all hat preceded it, and, second, because n a certain sense it is the last Christ mas that you will ever know-that Christmas when you grew up. and Santa Claus died.-Reginald Wright Kaufman in the December Circle Mag lZiue

KIDNEYS CURED BY THIS
 SIMPLE TREATMENT.

Get your druggist to mix the following ingredients: One-half ounce fluid extract Buchu, one ounce of compound fluid Balm wort and two ounces of syrup Sarsaparilla compound. Shake well and take a teaspOonful be- fore each meal and one when retiring. Drink plenty of water, but little of any liquid at meal times.
 The Buchu is an excellent tonic for the kidneys and blad- der. but combined with the ex- cellent qualities of BalmwOrt and Sarsaparilla. its efficacy is ten times greater. The great urinary specialist. Gaut, whose single fees range from $500 to 5000, acknowledges in his lat est reports that this simple mixture is most reliable and will cure all but the most com plicated and aggravated kidney and bladder affections; there fore, 1t is well worth trying.
 Putting under the eyes, back ache, headache and dizziness. burning of the eyes. blurred vii sion, extreme nervousness, and insomnia all indicate urinary trouble Many more symptoms could be named, but the reader will surely recognize them.
