Commsat Of crusty Old Bachelor was
Appropriate


In the yard Of large manufacture
ing plant up town there is tall flag
pole which occasionally gives the firm
some trouble by Its pulley ropes be-
coming twisted and tied up SO that IL
is impossible to move the flag. The
GOODNESS displayed by a young clerk
few weeks ago in climbing the pole
and releasing the flag has brought to
the remembrance Of his fellow-clerks
his conduct on similar occasion
nearly two years ago. On that occa-
sion halfway up his heart failed him,
and he descended to be guyed by the
other office employees. The flag again
became tangled several weeks ago and
the same clerk applied for permission
to unloosen IT. AS he has been mar
ried since he made the first attempt,
the firm, fearing that 1t might have to
pension a young widow, refused his
request. But he persisted, and won
their consent.
1t was a bitterly cold day, and the
courage, skill and endurance he dis
played was remarkable. Up the slender
pole he climbed and after unloosening
the flag and waving it from his ele-
waited perch, he descended, to be greet
ed by the senior partner, a pessimis-
tic Old bachelor:
"Egadl but that is remarkable. Most
extraordinary thing. this marriage.
When you were single you couldn't be
hired to do that. Now. apparently
you don't care whether you break your
neck or not"

Paine's Celery
Compound
expels All Winter impurities and
foisons From the Blood and
Builds Up the Entire
System.
AN ASTONISHING PROOF
OF BLOOD cLEANslOG AND RtSToRA.
TON TO COMPLETE HEALTH.

True health can only be maintained
by keeping the body free of acid and
sluggish blood and morbid waste mat
tiers. The blood that is pumped
through the heart to all parts of the
body, carries nourisnment and health,
or poison and the seeds of death.
Close confinement in badly ventil-
ated Offices, stores, and workshops
during the winter months, has low
cred the vitality of tens of thousands.
Poisons and impurities have been i'm
planted in the blood; these agents of
death must be expelled If health would
be maintained during the coming sam
mer.
The month Of May sh ould be reno

vast army Of weak. debilitated, and
broken down men, women and young
people.

Paine's Celery Compound meets
successfully at this season all I'M

the only medicine that can guarantee
perfect publication Of the vital fluid
that can give true nutriment to the
