: WHEN THE LITTLE STOCKING HANGS 4

Once in each year. very, very near
the end of the twelfth month, there
comes certain night-it is a night
OF Happy Thoughts, of dear, pleasant
memories. Little children go all too
soon to bed, and the kindly old Sand
man delays his coming for while, at
least, reluctant to interrupt the
childish hopes and rears. Grown-up
folks, for grown-up folks have
strange habit of sitting up on such
important nights, tiptoe stealthily
and creakily about the house
The little stockings hang at the
chimney piece. A dear little, quaint
little stocking that is all too small to
hold the precious things that the
loving Saint will bring before the
dawn breaks on Christmas morn.
Perhaps the little stocking will be a
bit larger on each succeeding Christ
mastide, and maybe 1t will hang
alone next time or in years to come,
other and timer stockings may bear
it company, perhaps. Even there
will be a dreaTy time when the fire.
place is bare, when longing eyes turn
away and the hickering light OF the
fire is hard and cold. But no matter
what the years may bring or take
away THE SPIRIT OF FRIENDSHIP

At the en- dof the busy year full of
erort aud struggle, when we forget
trials and welcome the opp trtunity.

for once 1t is UNSELFISH.

chases of Christmas Goods-all way

"A TONIC LAXATIVE
Re-ru-na, an. Up-tO-Date Family Medicine That
Should Be In Every Home

good tonic laxative the great majority
OF cases of sickness would be pre-
vented.
Peruna is a remedy that should be
kept in the house. Its virtue as a
preventive to disease is the thing I
wish chiefly to emphasize.
A slight condition of consultation
may lead to serious sluggishness of
the bowels, billousness, re-absorption
of poisonous material and finally
sickness. Or apathy of the stomach
in which the food Is not relished, may
gradually lead to atomic dyspepsia or
to the acquisition OF some acute dis
ease. For either one OF these oondi-
lions a few doses OF the tonic laxative
Perpna would set matters right. This
is why the remedy should always be
kept handy by.
When once the value OF Peruna as a
household remedy is understood no
nome would be without it. Cathartics,
pills and powders would be discarded.
aFEltatlng tontcs would be no. longer
taken. Alcoholic drinks would have no
Place. With few doses of Peruna a
vigorous appetite is produced and IL
there be any sluggishness of the
bowels their function is gradually re-
stored.
Most laxati1es are weakening in.
their effect. A tonic laxative guards
against this weakening effect. Until
right living has become SO thoroughly
established that all medicines are su-
perfuous, Peruna will be needed. It is
exactly the. remedy that meets numer-
Gus necessities of the household. Sold
at all drug stores. >
