M.u-1rfTous FOODS.
Beef and Eggs Must Step Down From

Professor Atwater. who has devoted

right proportions. and thus we have to
get what we want by combining our
foods

whole truth be told, let an inward

Such prayers, however, are mostly

too soon. and the warning, BE not

over the heads of an ashen pale bride,
who had steadfastly and resolutely re-
fused to allow herself to be decked in
bridal attire;a rather nervous and rubi-

the officiating minister: mahogany

When Mary Hamilton found that her
mother had slipped into utter uncon-
seriousness, she ran to their nearest
neighbors and begged them to come in
and aid her. So her mother was with
no little difficulty lifted from the ground
and carried up to her bedroom, and q
doctor was quickly sent for. His fat

little simple words which give hope to
some anxious watchers of the sick, but
which open out endless possibilities of
unattainable needs to those who are
poorly placed in the world. In her case
