When we are alone we have our
thoughts to watch; in family, our tenn

There are verses in the Bible that
will comfort every trial and every afflic-

tits we'll known that limewater has a

English medical authority states that
for a perfect sanitary diet alkaline
water is needed for every person who
eats heavily of meat, and this means
nearly every one except the vegetarian.
Give each of your children lamb, a
pig or couple Of hens, and let the boy
or girl take care of his or her own pro-
perty and raise it to maturity. In case
of the hens let the child have the
price of their eggs and chickens. In
case of the pig or lamb give them a
share of the price of the animal after
it is sold. Let the children have the
money, too, for their very own to DO
what they like with. This will en-
courage business habits and thrift.
