A WHITE CHRISTMAS.

THERE is one way to make
white Christmas even
- though there may be not
a fake of snow In sight.
Let the Wilderness be in your
heart. Put aside all thoughts of
guile. Forget all the big or lit
tie bitternesses you may be en-
tertaining against some other
person. Cast out all envy, all
covetousness, all unkindness. En-
deavor to harbor in your heart
only such thoughts and feelings
as the Nazarene knew when he
dwelt by Galilee. Cultivate hu-
man brotherhood. Practice Chris
tian charity. Look beyond and
above your workaday horizon.
Get out Of yourself. Get into
the hearts Of others.
Then you will be sure Of q
white Christmas this year.

WHY THEY FAIL.
Most Pile Remedies Miss the Cause OF
Piles

Disagreeable treatment with ONT
ments or suppositories usually fails to
cure piles and cutting them off won't re-
move the cause. Such treatment only
moderates the outside effects of the dis.
ease and fails. to remedy the inside
cause. The up-to-date doctors now use
internal medicine to free the circulation
in the lower bowel, and so remove the
disease.
