cleanser. Cleanses bowels of poison
GUS wastes which cause auto-intoxi-

NEVER look gift in the cost mark.
~ All that glitters is not diamonds.
Mistletoe makes the heart grow
fonder.
The gift deferred maketh the heart
sick.
Belief in Santa Claus Is the best
policy.
It is a wise merchant who knows his
own goods when they II brought
back for exchange.
To give hideous gifts is human, to
forgive impossible.
Gifts make the man, the want Of
them the fellow.
One Christmas bargain makes the
whole of womankind spin.
Christmas bills are stubborn things.
Santa Claus is not as red as he is
painted.
Buy gifts in haste and repent at
leisure.
Uneasy lies the head that's trying to
make twenty dollars buy forty
gifts.
And thereby hangs a stocking.
Every Christmas tree must stand on
its own bottom.
Gifts are seldom what they SEEM.

The name Of Batch" was known,
For lacking law TO I'LL want.
He'd make one Of his own.

Took off the morning train;
Did Batch" an automobile splash,
Or uselessly complain?
Instead It's said by good report,
'T1l make a law" said he,
'Instead Of going down TO Court,
The Court shall come to me-"
From Manchester there comes a wall
From Bennington a moan;
For Batchelder will get the kali
While other lawyers groan.

He'll sell his house to make the Jail
And put the Court near by.
