Brian as in camp learning ta be a soldier. £ came home nearly every Sunday. "In spite of the hard train ing, he looked and said he felt bet- ter than be had in years. He was as hard as nalls, tanned the dolor of an Indian. Also he was full of enthusi asm and could talk of nothing but the war, the time when he could start 'over there." "I'H be In the first load, or | miss my guess," he said to her after he told her he was a leutenant, sbeond of course, he explained. He had nei- ther eves or ears for anything but "his job" as he called it As always he accepted what Ruth did for him as a matter of course; all the litle camp comforts he was allowed to have; as well as money to spend---"Until you get your pay," she bad told him to save his feelings But she need not have felt afraid of hurting him. He would have taken money for his needs from any civil- fan without embarrassment, thinking ft their duty to provide for a man who was fighting for freedom--at least unthl the machinery managed by Uncle Sam could get to work. So the time passed untl there were ru mors that the time was nearly arriv- ed for the boys to go over. Ruth beard these rumors even be- fore Brian came home and told her hia time would now be Short. She realizéd that great secrecy must of necessity surround their departure, and wondered once more if she should tell Brian her secret. Had she any right to keep #t from him? Mandel had noticed that Ruth was unlike herself; that her work, always before done so easily, now seemed a burden; but he was far from suspeot ing the cause. He laid her lassitude, her pale face and shadowed eyes, to he fact that Brian was going over seas. His age precluded him being called to do actual fighting. To be truth- ful, he was, perlidgps, for the first time be had known Ruth, glad he ran - ORDERS 'Was so much 'older than she, Not that he was not patriotic, for he was. Already he had offered his services and his money to the government, the former without pay. But Brian would soon be away. He might, per- haps, would, take Mollie King with him, Mandel had kept posted upon Brian's affafrs; and of late had in- Cluded those of Mollie King. It is A A tas F loating Before His Eyes When specks start to float : before the eves, when everything turns black for a few seconds and you feel as if you were going to faint, you may rest assured that your liver is not working properly. The essential thing to do in all cases where the liver is slow, lazy or torpid, is to stir if wp by the use of a medicine that will clear away all the waste and poisonous matter from the system, and prevent as well ak cure all the trouble arising from this accumulated mass which has col- lected in the system. Keep the bowels open by using Milburn's Laxa-Liver Pills and you will have no liver trouble of any kind.

A GALLANT SOLDIEWY Philigaville Parents Receive Medal Won by Dead Son. Philipsvilie, Dec 13.--A most pathetic reward for bravery on the field of battle was received here by Mrs. Charles Peer, on Saturday, the 7th of December, in the form of a military medal sent by Lieut.-Col. H. A. Genet, A.A.G. Military District No. 3., Kingston, The young man who won this military honor was Corpl. C. 'R. Kirkland, No. 4556558, 21st Battdlion, C.EF., who laid down his life on Aug. 28th last. He was three times seriously wounded, and was buried under artillery fire four times. He bravely won this much-coveted. medal at an outpost alone with his machine gun, with which he lield back the oncoming Huns for three and a half hours un- til relleved, but ke did not live to wear his decoration for gallantry. His parents have the sympathy: of the entire village at the loss of their gallant soldier son. Deceased was the only soldier from around the surrounding country who has won this honor. The officers who had charge of this medal highly compli- mented the parents of C. R. Kirk- land to be honored by so brave a man and soldier. Gen. Mewburn ex- pressed to thé bereaved parents his Are you giving Your - Mind a Chance? Many a man's mind is distracted by his health, when it ought to be centered upon his business. Business and professional men and women usually exert their brains at the expense of their bodies. They are forced to neglect exercise, They often form bad habits in eating, sleeping, resting or playing. Hence, they easily form the worst habit of them all constipatipn. Constipation means infinitely more than mere failure of the bowels to act reg alarly and thoroughly, It means Jpexkened or over-tired intestinal muscles, It means stagna tion of the bowel contents, increased fermentation, putre faction and germ action, and production of irritant and poisonous substances, » These are absorbed into the blood and carried all over the body, irritating the nerves, ¢ louding the brain, hardening the arteries, raising the blood pressure, etc, Nor can all this be cured or prevented by taking pills, castor oil, purgative mineral waters, salts, etc. all of which make matters worse instead of better, But the Nujol Treatment for Constipation acts differently, It is both harmless and efficient, Nujol helps Nature to re-establish easy, thorough, daily evacuation of the bowels--as regular as clockwork, Nujol makes it easy for intestinal muscles to act.
