Perhaps the funniest of all preparers for
winter is the skunk. His serene highness
calmly walks into woodchuck's burrow,

"What's the use of working when you can
get some one else to make everything ready
for your winter?" And he calmly takes
possession and settles dOwn.-St. Nicholas.

stores have made many women pale,
tired and wornout, just as too much
study and too little outdoor exercise
have made many school children
spindling and delicate. They have
weakened the nerves, impaired diges-
ton, upset nutrition, SO that the blood
has become watery and thin,-a result
plainly seen in the colorless lips, cheeks
and ears.
Too much responsibility, anxiety and
worry have, in the same way, broken
down the health of many busy men.
Now, what is needed by all these
sufferers is iron, natural constituent
of healthy, strong and ruddy blood, as
combined in the new iron tonic, Pept-
