to reconcile them satisfies the hollow

COLLECTS BILLS FOR DOCTOR:

sum each month to have their bills

But this man." persisted the frs,
speaker, docs even more than that. He
has taken up that idea and carried it to
its logical conclusion. He has an office
Of his own. and all bills are payable a,
that Office. He takes the books of his
clients to his own office, makes out the
bills, and collects the money. OF course
he has to be a man Of standing. iu

and he does just the work physician
needs to have done. For some reason

ting rich:
Anything that would float was at a
premium. Once in a while you would
see something resembling boat. but
not often. AS general rule. the soap
box and coffin combination was the
most popular pattern.
Some men could not wait to be sup
piled by the wheezy sawmill, but went
in for whipsawing on their own ac1
count One man stands on top of the
log, and the other below, and the saw
is then pushed up and down along a
chalk mark.
A story is told of two "pardners'
who commenced whipsawing. After
working a while. till his tired muscles
almost refused duty. the lower one ex-
cused himself for n moment, and hav-
ing hired the first man he met to take
his place in the pit, disappeared. The

down from the log and quickly hired
an Indian to take his place at the saw.

To be symmetrical and properly proper

amount of excess flesh, but to be plump

tie healthy action of the heart and lungs,
and when very excessive predisposes to
fatty degeneration of vital organs, to say
nothing OF the discomfort resulting from
too much adipose tissue
Common sense would suggest that IL one
wishes to become feshy and plump the
thing most needed would be fesh-forming
food; that is albuminous foods like eggs,
beef, oatmeal, etc
The kinds of food which make flesh are
the foods We have on our tables every
day; but the trouble is that our stom-

some kind, do not promptly and properly
digest it.
Really, the principal reason so many
people remain thin is because their stom-

gest and assimilate the fesh-forming
beefsteak and eggs we eat every day
There are thousands Of such people, and
they are really dyspeptics, although they
may not suffer any particular pain or in
