"Constipation is responsible for
more misery than any other cause."

bowell called the colon. The water
loosens the dry food waste and
causes a gentle, thorough move
ment without forming ti habit or
ever increasing the dose.
Stop suffering from constipation.

Y'S CMKISTMAS SPIRIT
II y Charlc I. Stack.
H E H E Is no
more appropri
ate time than,
Christmas to ex-j
e m p 1 1 f y the;
spirit that "It Is
more blessed to
givo than to re
ceive." It man Ifests
itself all the way
from childhood
to old age. It
found its way
into the heart
of little Billy,
aged 7, on the
first Christmas
morn that ho
Jean to realize wtmt it was all
about.
In his family besides himself,
wore his - two older sisters and
motjiar -and' atH'lir Ticrilanptr
with the custom, that had prevail
ed In tho-family'ovcr since nipt her
and dad were married; the distri
bution' of gifts camo after break
fast on Christmas.
On the floor beneath the tree
Jhe packages were arranged as
though they had been left by
someone in a hurry to get away.
Billy, In his childish way, com
mented that no ona except Santa'
Claiis could be so generous as to
leave such a large number of gifts.
It was a happy group, with each
member anxiously waiting to learn
If their expectations had been ful
filled. One after the other Dad
presented the packages, which In
cluded gifts from himself to ull
the other members of the family;
likewise, from mother and the two
girts, Julia' and Eleanor, to the
others.
AVhen mother deemed that suf
ficient time had been consumed for
that purpose, she commanded lhnt
the wrapping paper and strings be
gathered up and the room restored
to Its customary orderly condition.
The two girls Immediately start
ed to obey, and while they carried
away the boxes and paper Billy cat
motionless and silent on the floor,
his presents about him. Ills faee,
only a moment before wreathed in
smiles, had become as serious Us a
judge presiding at an important
trial.
Noticing the sudden change that
had come over the little fellow, his
mother Inquired: . i
"What's the.mntter, Billy?"
Ho was too filled with emotion
to answer, but as his mother spoke
tears began streaming down his
chubby face. '
"Don't you like your present?"
she continued ..her Inquiry, and
Billy managed to say ,"Ves," be
tween sobs.
"Well, why are you crying?" she
persisted.
Billy, did not- speak until his
mother pressed for an answer, re
peating her last question.
Finally, with considerable effort,
the youngster managed to restrain
himself long enough to reply:
"'Cause. I ain't t$ot nothing lo
give to nobody."

How an old ox-convict ship help
ed keen the electric lights burning
In th'Hi.-jintls of WashlnRton homes
waa revealed In Seattle the other
day when public attention was fo
cused on the Lake Union steam
Plant of the city lijiht department. J
which has been mipplyliiK nearly
80 per cent of tho power in the
recen; crisis.
iTh; story ruim somethlnK like
this: Nearly a hundred years rro
tho Lady Gainsborough was tho
pride of tho British shipping be
tween Liverpool and CalcutM.
Swift, trim, the hip was one of
the fastest on the seven seas.
Later, when the days of her glory
had begun to dim, the Lady Gains
borough became a convict ship.
Finally she. was wrecked on the
lstan:t of Oahu, in the llawaliM)
group, whero It was salvaged, le
named tho Diamond Head, und
converted Into a tanker for the
present owners, the General Pet
roleum corporation.
U Is a far cry from a Calcutta
passu g 3 to a berth In Lake Union,
but many years ago. when General
Petroleum first begun to supply the
Seattle steam plant with fuel oil
the Diamond Head was brought to
the city for a storugo "tank." Al
though It will sail tho seven seas
no more, the Diamond Head, alios
the Lady Gainsborough, will prob
ably contlnuo for years to como to
be one of tho most valuable of the
old-time vessels afloat.
9. Place illuminated stars
over tho doors or on tho roof
of your house.
10. Illuminate your Christ

spirit of tho Christmas season
through outdoor lighting und it Is
