Hho Is Your Best Friend ?

Your stomach of course. Why? Because
if it is out of order you are one of the most
miserable creatures living. Give it 4 fair,
honorable chance and see if it is not the
best friend YOU have in the end. Don't
smoke in the morning. Don't drink in the
morning. If you must smoke and drink
wait until your stomach is through with
breakfast. You can drink more and smoke
more in the evening and it will tell on you
less. If your food ferments and does not
digest right,-if you are troubled with
Heartburn, Dizziness of the head, coming
up of the food after eating BiliOusness, In
digestion, or any other trouble of the siom
ach, you had best use Green's August
Flower, as no person can use it without i'm
mediate relief.

admitted to the bar in 1913, and in 1859 be-

From that moment I have done with nv
miseries, For the next six months the pen
goes on; it is work, hard work: but tho
harder the better, for this excellent reason;
the work is its own exceeding great reward
"As an example Of the gradual manner in
which reach the development of character l
may return for a moment to Fosco The
making him fat was an aftcrthought; his
cnuaries and his whits mice were found next;
and the most valuable discovery of all, his
admiration of Miss Halcombe, took its rise i'll
convection that he would not be true to ma
ture unless there was some weak point some
whero in his character"
The proof that Wilkie Collins got very near
to tho peoples hearts is in The fact that his
principal works have passed through many
editions both in England and America, and
have been translated into French Italian,
German, Dutch, Danish md Russian. lie
also wrote two plays, "The Lighthouse and
The Frozen Deep" neither of which have
attracted attention in America. They ap-
pear to have been written for amateurs, and
Charles Dickens acted n part in one of them,
both in parlor performance before the
queen and in public performance for
charity. Mr.. Collins has also done some lee
turing, and made the tour of the United
States in that line.
He was tire.ess worker when he had once
got his plot arranged, and no doubt aggra.
waited his physical troubles in that way for
he was nt times cruelty tortured by gout and
rheumatism. To alleviate the pain he began
10 take opium many years before his death,
and soon the habit became firmly fixed,
