this method is in practice, will be in

And he came back day before yes

of his departure and naturally they
expected he would be away at least
two weeks, SO it was with surprise
that they saw him stroll into the lobby
of the Russell House last evening.

is demanded by the system, and that
what are known as water drinkers
have, on the whole, much better health
by so doing. There are many people who
have such a horror of getting stout
