Poor Digestion? iii { .
Headachy? 90
Sour or Upset? 90
Tired.listIess? 90

Do you feel headachy and upset due to
poorly digested food? To feel cheerful
and happy again your food must be
digested properly.
Each day, Nature must produce about
two pints of vital digestive juice to
help digest your food. II Nature fails.
your food may remain undigested--
leaving you headachy and irritable.
Therefore, you must increase the flow
of this, digestive juice. Carter's Little
Liver Pills increase this flow quickly -
often in as little as 80 minutes. And.
you're on the road to feeling better.
Don't depend on artificial aids to
counteract indigestion-when Carters
Little Liver Pills aid digestion after Ma
ture's own order. Take Carter's Little
Liver Pills as directed. Get them at any
drugstore. Only 10f and 25f.

Frost Damages
North-End Peas

BRAWLEY, Dec. 13.--Calipatria
and inland growers Tuesday esti-
mated frost damage Monday night
from Is per cent on new pea fields
to 60 per cent on the older fields
The damage was entirely to the
fall pea crop which has been in
process of shipping the past several
weeks.
Arthur Pitman, Calipatria grower,
said that damage to covered crops
was light, but damage to uncovered
crops was extensive. He said that a
complete survey of damages will not
be known until Wednesday or
Thursday.
Damage to squash also was severe.
Shipping was also in progress in
this crop. Damage to tomatoes was
believed light, although some vine
damage was held likely.

much damage to mid-winter or early
spring peas.

Christmas Mail
Hits New Peak

Business at the El Centro post
office is breaking all records as
Christmas approaches, Postmaster
Frank Richmond said Monday.
Postal receipts for 1914, based or
receipts TO date, will exceed last
years all-time high figure of Sll8,-
32l.25 by from $4,000 to $4,000
Richmond said. To December this
year, receipts totaled $123 ,948.34
we'll ahead of the total for the en-
tire year.
In the first 10 days of this mcnth
receipts we're s5,667.64 and between
now and Christmas, Richmond said,
the weekly totals may be expected
to increase steadily.
El Centro's growth over a period
of lC years is indicated by the post
office figures. Ten years ago, postal
receipts were approximately $6l 900
as against this years estimated total
CT $4,000
The post office rear rooms Mon
day resembled the shipping depart
ment of a large department store.
Incoming and outgoing parcels were
stacked high everywhere and row
upon row of mail sacks were being
filled. For example of the volume
of business being handled, Rich
mond said a solid mail car of par
GELS and first class mail arrived
Monday for the men at the marine
base. In this lot were 262 sacks of
parcels and 90 sacks of first class
mail.
The car was unloaded directly
onto trucks and sent to the base,
where the Ell Centro office has a
branch.
Richmond expressed appreciation
OF response of the public to his pleas
for early Christmas shopping. How
ever, he said, the only way to pre-
vent a last-minute bottleneck here
and at postal terminals is to con-
tinue the "mail-early" program.
