Great Is the humor of woman-when
she doesn't mean 1t. Great Is the nerve
of w0man-when she doesn't need 1t.
And great are the nerves of woman
when 1t so pleases her. This combina-
ton Is blamable for the following: A
very pretty girl sat in Long Island

beach. Suddenly the whistle blew. 1t

In the pharmacists list it was quoted
at 81 "a grain, or $3.50 an ounce. The
seed from which the drug is made
grows In India and Brazil, as well as
In parts of South Africa. This seed,

upon whom 1t was tried, and so was
considered great truth-finder. The
