"Of course he can see that by the

For many years druggists have watched
with much interest the remarkable record
maintained by DIR. Kilmer's Swamp Root,

cine.
It is a physicians prescription.
Swamp-Root is a strengthening medi-
cine It helps the kidneys, liver and blad-
der do the work nature intended they
should do
Swamp Root has stood the test of years.
It is sold by all druggists on its merit
and it should help you. No other kidney
medicine has so many friends.
Be sure to get Swamp-Root and start
treatment at once.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..

LABRADoR's NEW YEARS EVE.

New Years eve, away up on the
coast of Labrador, is an interest
ing event. The Morayians celebrate it
with an old-fashioned Polter-abend,
such as the lucky traveller in Ger
many at December's end comes on.
The Christmas trees are brought on
sleds or komatiks from far to the
south. Then, during the year, from
over the world little trinkets have
been sent in for merry Yuletide, and
these are arranged. The tree in this
cold climate keeps well until the New
Years eve and around it, too, that
event gathers.

ing ways of entertaining a New Years
party, but the favorite Of all is the
masked dance or party, and the most
interesting way Of having this sort of
entertainment is to give a ghost party.
The invitations read in this manner:
Our good old Father Time
Has promised to convene
The shades of many notables
To meet you New Years cen.
Well look for you, you know,
To help to make things go,
And incidentally to meet
Some ghosts you're sure to know.
There should be 20 or more guests
and after the invitations have gone
out, the hostess has little private
chat with her guests over the tele-
phone. She requests them to come
dressed to represent some famous per-
son now dead, pantomime, words, ges-
lures and costume being used to carry
cut the impersonation.
Dressed in a misty black robe COW
cred with stars cut from gold paper,
the hostess will receive her guests in
room draped all in white. Sheets or
cheesecloth can be used for this. No
word is spoken until little red imp
distributes cards and pencils to the
assembled guests. Then each in turn
speaks some word or does some stunt
to suit his or her character. The
person guessing the greatest number
correctly receives a pretty copy of the
