used by DIR. Price in his Cream Baking

of the blood, and renders it more adapted
for transformationinto muscular and other

TouING AND MoLING.-To those whose
lot it is to labor, there are few trials more
terrible than the loss, even partial, of mus
cular power Muscular power is the la
boring mans capital To lose this is to
lose his all In one sense, indeed, every
laboring man loses his strength. The very
act of laboring is simply the giving out of
strength. But where there is sound
health, there is a taking in of strength also {;
namely through food sound health i'm
plies Sufficient digestive power; and this
renders available the strength stored up
in food Without this, it cannot be made
available. That an industrious laborer is
not in want of food itself may be taken for
granted. The cause of his failing strength,
then, must be looked for in the want OF
sufficient digestive power. DIR. Gottlieh
Fisch' Bitters was compounded to remedy
this very short coming and experience
has pro7ed that it is just the thing to do it!

How TO EDUCATE ASIMALs.-Thc Bulletin

"To educate an animal is not to force its

This is not a very difficult task for one who
knows how to 20 about ii. Most animals
are drawn toward man, whose superiority
they recognize by instinct, whom they are
proud to please. whose love Is agreeable, and
whose protection Is advantageous to them.
But before these relations are established
there is an obstacle to be conquered-tbe

first steps to be taken, then, Is to secure the
pupils confidence.
"Unhappily many do just the contrary OF

not understand; other men make playthings
