malarial disease are inhaled from the air
and are swallowed from the water of such
region. Medicinal safeguard is abso.
lutely necessary to nullify the danger.
AS means of fortifying and acclimating
the system so as to be able to resist the
malarial poison, Hostetter's Stomach

the most popular. Irregularities of the
stomach, liver and bowels encourage

The answer of six times nine as we'll as the
answer Of two times two.
Next day Elizabeth Wigglesworth, who always
acts so proud,
Said. sSix times nine is fifty.two," and near
ly laughed aloud,
But wished l hadn t when the teacher said,
"Now, Dorothy, tell If you can,"

Open the door! Let in the air.
The winds are sweet and the flowers fair.
Joy is abroad in the world today.
II our door is wide open, he may come thi
way.
Open the door
Open the door of the soul Let in
Strong, pure thoughts, which shall Danish sin
They will grow and bloom with grace divine,
And their fruit shall be sweeter than that o
the vine
Open the doorl
Open the door of the heartl Let in
Sympathy w0ot for stranger and kin.
1t will make The halls OF the heart SO fair
That angels may enter unaware.
Open the door
