OBITUARY OF BENJAMIN HARRIS Another life is ended, a life of many years, full of toil, happiness, pain and tears.

CARE CALLED FOR JUST NOW Extra Caution Should Be Exercised to Prevent Fires. Special attention is being called by the National? Fire Protection Association to the increased risks incident to the holiday season. Parents and the heads of families are asked to exercise especial care during the present season, which usually >registers a big increase In the number of petty fires. Attention is directed to the fact that packing and tissue paper, so often in use in surrounding presents, are highly inflammable, , and are likely to get on fire if placed too near stoves or furnaces. In addition, decorations Of the nature of cotton snow, tinsels and candles have in the past been found to be responsible for a large increase In number of fires and for a considerable percentage of losses directly attributable to holiday conflagrations.

THE FIRST STEP Usually the first indication of a lowering of health is found in the bowels and liver. Something goes wrong—we eat too much, or work too hard—and the bowel action weakens or the liver is sluggish. That heavy feeling on arising ip the morning, dryness of the throat, with bad taste, a slight headache, dull eyes—all show that food has fermented in the intestines, and that the body is manufacturing poisons instead of good blood. Clear it all out. Give the stomach and bowels a fresh start. Encourage the liver to go to work. Manalin does all of this, without griping or weakening. It’s the ideal laxative and liver tonic, because it follows Nature’s plan, without discomfort, inflammation or forming a habit. Constipation may be overcome with its use. X. .
