HOW'S Your Liver?

The natural laxative and antiseptic of
the bowels is the bile, which is secreted by
the liver. The bile is natures lubricant.
When your liver is torpid it produces less
bile, and of course the bowels become
clogged with poisonous matter which finds
its way into the blood, producing bilious
ness and constipation and indigestion.
Smiths Pineapple and Butternut Pills
are by far the best remedy to empty the
bowels and relieve congested conditions.
They act as a true tonic to the liver, pre-
venting as well as curing constipation. One
or two of these pills taken every night
mildly stimulates the liver and conects
biliousness without the driving purgative
effects of harsh drugs. Their gentle laxa-
tive action especially commends them to
ladies' who bloat after eating and are sub
ject to periodical headaches. To secure
healthy secretion of bile, thus establishing
perfect bowel regularity, these little pills
possess merits peculiarly their own, not
found in other remedies. Physicians use
and recommend. They form no habit.
You should always keep them on hand.
These little Vegetable Pills will ward off
many ills.

J0TTINGS.

It is human nature to act inhumanly
occasionally.
How many men do you know who do
just as they please.
There are lots of great men-until
you get close to them.
Lots of women do odd things for the
purpose of getting even.
Some disappearahces are. less decep-
tive than some appearances.
The pleasure is all yours when the
other fellow hands you money.
The privileges desired are what the
average woman calls her rights.
Clothes make the actress and the
lack Of them makes the chorus girl.
You probkbly won't need a very
large tombstone to record your good
deeds.
And there are probably lot of good
people in this world who do not look
the part.
II you are good for the price the
doctor doesn't hesitate to pronounce II
appendicitis.

EXPERIENCE IN THE USE OF
POULTRY FOODS

Experience is the best teacher
every time. 1t is fortunate that all
do not have to go through the same
experience. Some can have the bene-
fit of that which Others have gone
through. 1t is not necessary that
every poultry keeper should use all
the various foods that are on the mar
ket. in order to learn which is best and
most reliable. He can rely somewhat
on the experience of those who have
used them. Charles A. Hancock, Mar
re, Mass, says: Il have used Pages
Perfected Poultry Food the past year
with great success and would not be
without it. It certainly is an egg pro-

this food and the best ways of using
