else. Each yearly subscription turn
ed in between now and eight o'clock
Saturday night, will earn from IS, 900

best right up to the last minute.

,"teaches me that young girls are es-
pecially subject to constipation SIM
ply because they omit or neglect the
all-important duty to Nature that
should be performed without fail
every day."
! And then, after they get bilious and
headachy, so many of them take that
nasty, poisonous calomel that sickens
their stomachs and makes them have
to stay at home while it acts on them.
They would be very much better off if
they took a dose or so of Martins
Liver Medicine, guaranteed veget-

loss of time or affecting the appetite.
