The Christmas Dinner.

In spite of the fact that the word
dyspepsia means literally bad cook, il
will not be fair for many to lay the
blame on the cook if they begin the
Christmas Dinner with little appetite
and end it with distress or nausea. II
may not be fair for any to do that
let us hope so for the sake of the cook.
The disease dyspepsia indicates a bad
stomach, that is weak stomach, rath-
er than a bad cook, and for weak
stomach there is nothing else equal to
Hoods Sarsaparilla, 1t gives the
stomach vigor and tone. cures dys-
pepsia, creates appetite, and makes
eating the pleasure 1t should be.

sence early In June, with the under-
standing that his resignation would
