GOOD AND BAD BLOOD.
The Weak Point In the Spring.
MEDICINE THEORY.

We are told that the source of three
fourths Of our diseases is in our blood; that
good purgative three or four times year
will keep us in good health. Is this so or
isn't it? 1t may be all right for strong, fat
people; people whose blood is too rich. For
thin people 1t certainly is not good. Dys-
peptics, consumptives, pale, thin anamic
people suffer from poor blood, scarcity of
red corpuscles. No purgative or so-called
blood medicine can help them.
"The blood is the life" yes, but what
makes the blood2 Food. Good food is all
that is needed to make poor blood rich.
Paskola, the rich pre-digested starch food,
is often recommended by physicians for this
very purpose.
There is no difficulty in understanding
why it is that small quantity Of Paskola
will do so much good. 1t is made out of mans
most important food, starch. In order to
help the weak stomach it is pre-digested
Any good pure tasty starch food will do
You as much good as Paskola if you can di-
gest it. If you cant, nothing will do you
good, except PaskOla, for it is already di-
gested.
Paskola is not blood medicine. 1t is
food that enriches the blood. 1t also helps
the digestion of other food.
1t makes thin, pale poor blooded people
so fat and healthy that their friends can
hardly recognize them.
Mr. James G. Collin of Syracuse, N. Y,
says: "' Paskola is indeed food, and
royal one, too. 1 have already gained six
and one-half pounds"

SOLDIERS BUDGET,


A song of a pretty maiden's eyes
Sauciest eyes of blue
Blue as the distant sapphire skies
When stars are shining through.
A song Of two eyes of deepest gray
Gray as the early morn
Which lies so still in the arms Of Day,
Before the light is born.
A gentle, blue.eyed. Northern lass
Tender, loyal. true;
A wild rose sprnging from out the grass,
Sparkling with morning dew.
A Southern lad with as brave heart
As mans breast ever bore,
But cruelty pierced by Cupid's dart.
Could woman ask for more?
Again a meeting OF" blue" and " gray"
No fash of sword or gun;
The blueeyed lass is a bride to-day
This war the gray has won,
Blue and cray
