Wednesday Club.
Mr's. B. L. Parkinson was hostess to

lhe subject to be considered was "Ed
ttcation". Brilliant Papers were read
by Mrs. James II. Sullivan and Miss
Frances Tliime, conce rnuing vocatlon
11 training Itid the Montesorro Method,
rollowed by general discussionl by the
lub umembers. A new mcmber, .Mrs.
ganuiel. Wilkes, was Welcomed to the
lub,.and after a short business ses
siIon aid reeshlinients, the meeting
itdjourned.
THE )FIRST STEP
sually the first indication of a
lowering (if lialtli is found in the
bowels and liver. Something goes
wrong--we cat too much, or work
too hard--and the bowel action
weakens or the liver is sluggish.
That heavy feeling on arising in
the morning, dryness of the
throat, with had taste, a slight
headache, dull e'cs-all show that
food has fermueu ted in the intes
tines, and that ithe body is man
tufacturing p sons instead of
good blood.
Clear it a I out. divc the
stomach and owels a fresh sturt.
Encourage I ic liver to ' to
work. Man, in does all this,
without gril ing o' 1 1! akening.
It's the ide; I laxati - and liver
tonic, becaus it f ows Nature's
plan, without ' comfort, inflan
muation or forming a habit. Con
stipation may be overcome with
its use.
