The rich, pure blood which it makes cir

the tissues, giving them a tendency to
health instead Of disease. and ultimately
curing the affection.
At the same time Hoods Snrssparila

and surely by removing the causes which

chemistry at the High School and one

cal culture and music, she thinks the
work is in line with the best work
being done elsewhere.
Although the work in language is
not satisfactory, decided advance is
being made. The lectures by DIR.

It's pretty good world for oil that.

.
Some people are born but to dig in the soil,
And sweat for the bread that they eat,
While some never learn the meaning of toll,
And live on the things that are sweet
A few are too rich, and lot are too poor,
And some are too lean or too fat
All, the hardships are many that men must
endure,
But
It's pretty good world for all that
The man who must Think envies them that
must be
Ever pounding and digging for men.
And the man with the pick would be happy
IL he
Might play with the brush or the pen
All things go by contraries here upon earth,
Life is empty and sterile and fiat:
Man begins TO complain on the day of his
birth,
But
Its pretty good world for all that.
