it occurs treatment should be promptly

sands OF fatal illnesses occur every year,
ushered in by little injudicious expos
ure and seemingly trifling symptoms. Be-
yond this, there are today countless inva-

The civilized world stands amazed AZ

country. In the consideration Of the
true source OF our national wealth we
must combine these two elements az
one and inseparable. Man must furnish
labor and nature must furnish all the
material upon which labor is expended.

Gated in the attic, and from it water is
pipcd to the kitchen, bathroom, laun-

tank Is filled by means Of force pump
