disease can make much Roadway.
The secret of health is to keep the
blood pure and full of strength. When
a man or woman loses flesh and vitality,
there is something wrong in the blood.
The start of it is likely to be in the stoin-
ach or bowels, and If they are put in
order the trouble gradually stops. Con-
sumption is germ disease, but if the
blood is good, and keeps the lungs strong
and healthy, the germs cannot find a
place to lodge and are cast off. If there's
a weak spot, the germ will find it. Even
after that, strong and pure blood will
strengthen the lungs so that they can
gradually rid themselves of the germs.
It is by creating strength and purity that

MISS JONES.

You may mention her name, but it never con-
veys
An idea Of the exquisite tones
OF her voice or her sparkling, bewildering
ways,
For her name-it is simply "Miss Jonesl"
It gives you no hint of her golden brown hair,
OF her eyes that outshine precious stones,
OF the fash of her wit, or her highly bred air.
When they merely allude to "Miss Jones'"
1t leaves you to guess at the men in her train,
And her suitors' expiring groans
At the charm that proves fatal to many
swain
Unexpected in everyday "Jones."
But when you have seen the effect Of her
glance
On raw youth or decrepit old bones,
You'll admit that knight never shattered
lance
For "queen Of the lists" like "Miss
Jones'"
II her name could be changed, what a gain it
would be-
A fact which she cheerfully owns;
But at present, you see, she's confided to me,
She prefers to stay simply "Miss Jones!"
