.TONING UP A
TORPID LIVER
What to Do When Your Liver
Gets Sluggish and COnSti-
patton Worries You.

There are many signs OF approachins
trouble. beginning with parched lips,
headache, dizziness, blllousness, furred
tongue, etc. If these go unheeded So
rious trouble is sure to result. The best
treatment for torpid liver is not drastic
physics but an early treatment by Dr.
Kings Royal GeFmetuer. It is not q
laxative in itself. but It's duty is to tone
up the liver and bowels, and bring about
normal action of these organs so that
the whole system regains perfect health.
If you are already in the grip of con-
Btipation and all the ills that go with 1t.
take Germetuer Pills, special laxative
designed for use with DR.. Kings Royal
Germetuer. The combination of the two
will produce miraculous results by re-
storing perfect health.
DR.. Kings Royal Germetuer Is both a
germicide and eliminant. On the one
hand it assists the body in getting ria
Of accumulated poisons due to inactive
bowels or torpid liver, and on the other
hand 1t is perfect germicide, removing
the cause of an immense number OF
painful diseases caused by germs.

The Girl and the Boy.

The Hotel Keswick telephone girl
was a character. Even the politicians
who made the big Washington cara
vansary their headquarters recognized
that. Some of them had sought to un-
bend from their labors at law-buiIding
and law-sapping long enough to try to
improve their casual acquaintance with
her. But they had one and all aban-
doned the effort.
Not that Miss Wanda Kelly was in
the very least shy. No, she had a re,
sponsive word for everybody. Only
sometimes that word had a queer way
of soaring instead OF fiattering.
