grain pnlied it out Of the way, the other
load drove up, and the team was attach.

hence we never get tired Of either, But
the use Of bread and fruits IL daily

on that account, nor should we forego
the use Of tea and coffee because their

we do not drink these we will drink
what is worse-cold water, milk, or

Of these last will lead the young to

It seems probable. too, that before
