OLD AGE STARTS
WITH YOUR KIDNEYS

Science says that old age begins with
weakened kidneys and digestive organs.
This being true, it is easy to believe
that by keeping the kidneys and diges-
tive organs cleansed and in proper work
ing order old age can be deferred and
life prolonged far beyond that enjoyed
by the average person.

GAMES FOR CHILDREN
AT CHRISTMAS TIME.

1t may be for a Christmas party, or
for the family gathering. that you viii
need ideas; for either, the following
games will furnish fun for young and
old alike.
The Game of Tip.
This old English game requires the
use Of enough assorted Christmas can
dies, nuts, raisins, and other dainties,
to make a small pile upon a table:
also pair of sugar tongs. One of the
party is chosen, who must retire TO an
other room while the remaining play
ers decide upon one of the dainties
In the pile to be known as Zip" The
chosen person Is then recalled, and
with the tongs removes pieces from
the pile, trying to avoid the piece
named Tip, of which, however. he does
not know the location. All pieces
removed belong to him, unless he re-
moves Tip, when all must be returned
to the pile, and the turn passes to the
next player, who retires to the other
room while another Tip Is named A
player may pass his turn when, after
drawing several pieces. he wants to
