A World of Good.

One of the most popular medicines now before the American public, is Hop Bitters. You see it everywhere. People take 1t with good effect. It builds them up. It is not as pleasant to the taste as some other Bitters, as it is not whisky drink. It is more like the old fashioned boneset tea that has done world of good. If you don't feel just right try Hop Bitter. s.-Nundd Ne,ra.

morning with q request for u stay of public
opinion until he can prove that his diamonds

who have made good use OF the Christmas
holidays and are now all ready to buy en-
Ragement lings. M sensible young man will
buy until MaHsrs. MacTsar and Maskelyne
come to u definite understanding. The risk
of . fall In the value of diamonds to par with
so much charcoal involves the further risk
that the girl will "oall margin" on the young
