THOSE MEAN COLD FEET

Destroy an even temper. That's be-
cause they are annoying and obstinate
IN their continuance. IL you have felt
their effect, the cause will interest you.
Poor circulation of the blood makes
cold feet. But that Is not all, it chills
the whole body and makes life cold
and existence sluggish. Poor circula-
tion is the result of weak and impov-
crished blood, and impoverished blood
fails to provide warmth-producing
fuel.
Warmth is the product of fuel, and
good fuel makes warmer blood, strong
er blood and healthier blood. Blood
Is the product OF whatever a man eats.
The best food Is that which makes
the strongest blood. Since nothing
can be stronger than the elepents OF

any one should find fault with him for
setting broken bone for a stranger.
He always asserted that he did not
know Booth and was not aware at the
time that Booth had committed a
crime. But Mudd had been an ardent
secessionist He was accordingly sen.
fenced to Imprisonment for life.
