DIPATHERIA.
Too many homes bear this fear-inspir.

Too many homes bear this fear-inspir-
ing placard, denoting the prevalence Of
that most insidious and dreaded of all
diseases - Diphtheria.
1t is to-day a recognized fact among the
best practitioners that nine out of ten

preserving qualities in the least pos
sible bulk of any preparation known.
In eases of Diphtheria, Bovinine has
special advantages. In this disease, as
in others, the rapidity with which it is
assimilated gives to it u preference over
all other foods, passing, as it does, into
the system Immediately, without causing
the digestive organs to perform any labor.
And considering the fact that the LESSONS
in the throat prevent the swallowing of
solid food, it becomes an absolute ncces-

by being used as an injection. Above all,
Bovinine is in itself Il germcidc, and in
all such diseases as Diphtheria, caused by
microbes, it not only performs its greatest
mission of maintaining life, but antidotes
the existing bacilii.
Bovnine has done wonders in thousands
Of cases of Diphtheria. When your doctor
uses it you may cease to worry, and be
assured of speedy recovery. To neglect
its use may mean years of remorse in the
feeling that some loved one might still be

Then he gave a sudden start, and

moment stood still. but as we passed IL

lodging figure was a creature of the
imagination. Nevertheless as parted
from the president at the door of the
White House I could not help saying
that I thought his going to and fro in
the darkness Of the night, as it was
usually his custom, often alone and un-
attended, was dangerous recklessness.

anxious appeal, he had provided him

About the beginning of the century
an order was issued that army officers

wearers an unmilitary appearance. Tbs
order caused severe inconvenience tc
many short sighted officers, and one of

and read them critically and thought
fully. The purpose for which we read a
book must not be mere pleasure. We

A few well directed questions from fa-

bring this to light, and in addition will
enforce the fact that an opinion Of ones

Tho Snow Flower.

A traveller in Siberia tells US about
wonderful plant found in the northern
part of that country, where the ground
is perpetually covered with coating of
frost and snow. 1t is called the snow
flower, and the description of its birth
and its short life reads like fairy tale.
He says it shoots out of the frozen soil
on the first day of the year and attains
a height of 3 feet On the third day it
blooms, remaining open for only "a
hours. Then the stem, the leaves and
the flower are converted into snow-in
other words, the plant goes back into its
original elements.
The leaves are three in number and
the flower is star shaped. On the third
day, the day the bloom appears, little
glistening specks appear on the extremi-
ties of the leaves They are about the
size Of the head of pin and are the
seeds of the flower.
1t is said that some of these seeds
were gathered once and taken to St. Pc
tecsburg, where they were buried in
bed Of snow. The first Of the following
year the plant burst forth and bloomed,
lust as it does in Siberia. Philadelphia
