T"7 TMThin 5 JfiLJCO NOT HEAL Whenever a sore or ulcer does not heal, no matter on what part of the body it may be, it is because of a poisoned condition of the blood. This poison may be the remains of some constitutional trouble ; the effect of a long spell of sickness, which has left this vital stream polluted and weak, or because the natural refuse matter of the body, which should pass oil through the channels of nature, has been left in the system and absorbed into the circulation. It docs not matter how the poison became intrenched in the blood, the fact that the sore is there and docs not heal is evidence of a deep, underlying cause. There is nothing that causes more discomfort, worry nd anxiety than a festering, discharging old sore that resists treat ment. The very sight of it is abhorrent and suggests pollution and disease ; besides the time and attention required to keep it clean and free from other infection. As it lingers, slowly eating deeper into the surrounding flesh, the Sufferer grows morbidly anxious, fearing it may be cancerous. Some of those afflicted with an old sore or . . ... Brl.nU(l UH. ulcer know how useless it is to ex- pect a cure from salves, powders, lo tions and other external treatment. Throufih the use of these they have seen the place begin to heal and scab over, and were congratulating them selves that they would soon be rid of the detestable thing, when a fresh suddIv of poison from the blood would cause the inflammation and old discharge to return and the sore would be as bad or worse than before. Sores that do not heal are not due to out side causes; if they were, external treatment would cure them. They are kept open because the blood is steeped in poison, which finds an outlet through these places. While young people, and even children, sometimes suffer with non-healing sores, "those most usually afflicted are persons past middle life. Often, with them, a wart or mole on the face inflames and be gins to ulcerate from a little rough handling ; or a deep, offensive nicer de velops from a slight cut or bruise. Their vital energies and powers of re sistance have grown less, and circulation weaker, and perhaps some taint in the blood, which was held in check by their stronger constitutions of early ftnr" i iir p rTI ni r mac is umy wus way luvuis wc uiu run C.L Y Vtllt I A u L L. sores and ulcers, and that is to get every particle pf the poison out of the blood.

Detroit t'raa I'rea & Talbot's Christmas g jjf BY I'RANCIS HART. JAMKS," aaid Gerry Talbot sudden ly, looking up from the letter ha haj Just received, "you needu't mind about the rest. Tba dinner will not come off. after all." The decorate.) tad of the big. iitmptu- ous tttulio looked oddty distasteful to Grrry Talbot tince the reading of Miaa WakeneMs telegram, which had that- tered hit enthusiaatic plaits. He bad iu vited her and her brother tad hit wife to a Christmas studio diuuer which ha meant to make as festive as possible. Of course, ber. rejection at the last hour had been a gentle inretttion prepared to avert a greater diapi"lntmeut. for ha had let her know unmistakably bow It wat with him, and he had been to hope ful of succest that ht had selected a ring for her C'hristmat gift a little gold en circlet set with a clear white soli taire. The streets were thronged with bust ling Christmas shoppers, glad of heart, with merry, expectant faces, and here and there a wistful one. too, looking on, I tit not buying, Talbot noticed two lit tle girls gazing wistfully Into a confec tioner's window. "Yt'S, Min. 1 would. I'd do It fust thing." said the taller of the two. "Oh, my. wouldn't it be nice to ba rich tn' im-ite all your friends to a big turkey an' ice cream dinner!" They were very poorly clad, thin featured and Ill-notiriHh.'.l. but not un pleasant to liok at. Talbot was con rciotM, all at once, of an Inexplicable impulse to gratify the child's wish. "8o you would really lika to girt your friends a Christmas dinner!" said he. smiling down at her astonished eyes. "I hare a great mind to let you have your wish." "Oh, dear me, Min!" gasped Lou. "1 can't hardly believe It, can you? It sounds Just like a mnkehelieye thing. Won't Mis' IVisey ba a'prised! An' Jonas au' M'g au' Tom. Oh, won't they be jest too pleased!" "How many shall you invite?" Talbot asked gravely, taking out his notebook. "Well, there's Aunt Katie an' L'ncle Tim an' the baby. Mis' Posey, Jonas l''"gS". Meg an' I'st Kooley Si in, caa you think of anyone else?" "Lame Hetsy an' "Moll." "How many's that?" asked Lou. "Twelve, counting ns three." "Iion't you think it would be nice to have a little present besldt each plate?" asked Talbot. Both girls gasped, but looked Immense ly pleased. "Suppose you two go round with me and pick out what you consider suitable for each of your guests, because I should not know what to select." When Lou tppeared at the ttudio on the following morning she was a very different looking girl, and any one would hava known by tha pure Joy of her volet that some great and festive event was at hand. Talbot had finished the decorations which had been to harshly interrupted by Miss Wakefield's ntes mge, and the result was extremely grat ifying, especially after Lou't rapturous ai'cliintati'ins. At precisely 12 o'clock the bell rang for the tirst time to announce the ar rival of Aunt Katie and Tim and the baby, all polished anil prinked to the verge of pniiifiilness. et came .Mi 1'osey, t little, faded, bowed, ancient woman In rusty black, with long gold loops in her wrinkled ears. Lame Betty thumped in on Iter crutches, closely fol lowed by Moll, in borrowed finery, of va rious sizes. Meg brought blind Jonas, ami a merry little wraith of a limn called Tom Doom. Tnlhot shook hands nil around with a "Merry Christmas!" after which they all look their places at the beautiful table, thtt like of which none of that humble party had ever looked upon. But It was a kindly murines that possessed the host of that bountiful dinner, for his stories were of the pleasantest and hit watchful cars wits iiiilliiKginic. His guests rewarded his efforts by s sponta neous enjoymeut of all that was set be fore them. It was good to see them wait upon blind Jonas, who could not help himself, and upon lame Betty, whose crippled hands made difficult the use of knife and fork. Talbot rose to replenish a half-emptied pluta as the hall bell thrilled merrily. There was a pit use; then Jiimes' iptlet, well-trained voice tn id: "Yes, madaui; Ik is at diuuer In tht ttudio." 1 Ths door swung ltt i Talbot knew that ha was not dreaming wheu tht rams toward him with outitratched handt and rlpplt of explanation ul Which ha heard not on word.

"A little friend of mint wanted to girt htr friends a Christmas dinner, am) I persaadtd her to let mt share It," ht explained jauutily. "It hat been s great treat to me," Miss WskeAeld read tht whole truth for herself at the looked Into the good, homely facet that reflected their hust'l praiaet In every glnnre, She said noth ing, but her eyet told what Talbot would hsvt given all he possessed to hear from her llpa. Then Mr. Wakefield and his wife ventured In. and Talbot bethought himself to ask If they had dined, which they had not. Lou and Tsltwt made room for tltret platet here and titer,", nnd as there was a plenty ot crullers and turkey snd Icet cream, all went well to the very end ot the function, when tht eleven originally invited gsuetts rose and made their adieus with glad heard and beaming facet. Mist Wakefield stood before the grata while her brother and his w ife examined a row of picture half bidden behind ths holly wreaths, "I wat to sorry to disappoint you yes terday," tha said, "hut poor Ted's tele gram wat so urgent that we were afraid he wat worse, and hadn't the heart to refuse him. When I discovered that ws could take an early train home l made up my mind to run In aud wish you a Merry I'ltrlstmat, anyway, and so we came, yon sea." Talhot thought of the ring. He hail taken It from its hiding place. "1'or a long while I have wanted to ask you to accept this and what goes with It." ha aald simply, holding the glittering bauble toward her. A red glow crept Into her face. She mads no audible answer, but when tha young couple at the other end of tha room sauntered toward them they wert milling. CHRISTMAS TREE FIRES. How tha Danger of I'artor Cotflaiirer tloua May lie Minimised. Several accidents on Christmas era and day each year recall the fnct, appar ent oltly on that day, that the Christ mas tree is quite ns danxerous as it it pretty, and that tht proud father per sonating Santa Clsjta should take tht precaution to equip hitmelf with asbet tot whiskers. About the uul number of 6ree art recorded In the country each year at a result of the inflanintsM n turt of the Christmas tree and Its dec orations and their rsrelets hamllinii. This warning always follows Christ mat just as the outcry agiint toy pis toll is raised after the Fourth of July. Of cottrt no rose Is free from thorns, and apparently no holidav enn be ob served In the conventional fashion with out risk of accident to the merrymakers. Sputtering caudles on a Christmas tree art a very real danger, and the same may be said of the trees themselves, tht wreaths of evergreen and the mistletoe. After a day or two they become dry and inflammable tn a hitfh drsree, and in tha joy of the celebration rks are run and precautions neglected. A tree thus load ed down with presents and decorations may become In au instant a torch caps hie ot starting a disastrous tire, at many cities discovered the other day, to their great cost snd to the serious discomfort of their fire departments. By tsking preventive measures thou sands of dollars will be saved every year. Trees should bt bought late and kept out doors until used. In the case of fresh, green trees the risk will he mill itnlxed. Candles should not be I'm close together and should tie constantly watch ed. Above all. a wet blanket should be at hand, also a sponge on a pole loun eunuih to reach any point of tha trees or celling. So, at least, say the Are fiihtert. who every year have their own Chrittmas spoiled by the neglect of these very obvious precsutlons. CHRISTMAS IN 8WEDEN. One Day When There Are Neither Rich Nor Poor. If you wert In Sweden on C'hristmat eve you would hear the church bells be gin to ring at 5 o'clock, for everybody ttops work then and the festivities begin lu great earnest everywhere in tht king dom. Class distinctions are forgotten and servants are allowed to sit at table with the family. After supper comet tht universal Christinas tree, for Sweeten is one of the early homes of this beatitl ful custom. On Christmas morning st 0 o'clock, while It is still dark, you would go to church, for everybody goes, unless you stayed at home to mind the lights in the house, for every home in the king dom is illuminated. There is olmost sure to be a deep snow, and you would go to church in a sleigh. Behind every sleigh you would see two boys standing on the runners and holding pine torches a beautiful spectacle as a long pro cession of sleiifhs glides over the snow on s forest road. These torches art ttuck up In s circle around the church. A whole week Is given to good cheer and hospitality. The Christmas Traveler. When Christmas day dawns many t traveler will be unfortunate enough to find liimelf far from home with no prospect of gelling there for the celebra tion of the greatest holiday of all tho year. To many of these this necessary absence is a bitter misfortune, but there are others who have not the good fortune to deem it such a misfortune. They have perhaps no settled home or no rela tives or no especial friends with whom they yearti to be on the festal day. But these people are comparatively few in numlx-rs. Most of the people who are traveling on Christmas day are doing to because circumstances make It necessary. They are longing every minute of tha day to bn where they could join In tht merriment and festivities with those who are dearest to them. ordered orr. Th New Year You'll Luv to tuov on, old man.
