Many are not being benefited by the
summer vacation as they should be.
Now notwith standing much out door
life. they are little if any stronger than
they we're. The tar on their faces is
darker and makes them look hea thier,
but it is only mask. They are still
nervous, easily tired, upset by tritles.
and they do not eat nor sleep well
What they need ia what tones the
nerves. perfects digestion, creates appe-
tite, and makes sleep refreshing. and
that is Hoods Sarsaparilla. Pupils and

purpose of the vacation best subserved

moss. But he doesn't paint the picture
Of the man whose tongue IS parched
with fever, who tumbles and losses in
his hot room and narrow bed while the
bacili OF the bucket and the well are
striving for his life. That wouldn't be
a poetic theme, and he has nothing to
do with theme that is not poetic.
As a matter of fact the old well and

Of diseasing whole neighborhoods. The

THE DANGER OF DISEASE
does not lie in the strength Of the
microbe but in the weakness OF the
BODY. When the blood is impure the
microbe has vantage ground from
which to operate. When the blood is
pure disease fails to find a breeding
ground, and the microbe strives in vain
against the man. Nobody can be healthy
when the blood is impure. faint the
blood and every organ fed and nourished
BY blood must share the faint. Keep
the blood pure and plentiful and the
BODY is made strong to resist the assaults
OF disease.

He paints pretty and pathetic word

which the water was drawn, he hasn't
thought of the bacteria which find
fertile breeding ground in many an old
well. He pictures the hot, thirsty day,

drops which shine like pearls against the
