There's something about the little

tender spot. He pats the little one on
the head, puts some pennies in her hand,
swallows hard and tlien---starts out to

is no doubt that many man is taken
from his family by neglect of simple
precautions which would preserve his
health. Disease generally begins nova
days in ostomach trouble because the
meals are hasty and the food not di-
gested. From that beginning come dis
