The Life Guards are two regiments of
cavalry forming part of the British house
hold troops. They are gallant soldiers,
and every loyal British heart is proud OF
them. Not only the Kings household,
butyours, ours, everybody's should have
its lite guards. The need of them is es.
peciaIly great when the greatest foes of
life, diseases, find allies in the very ee-
ments, as colds. influenza, catarrh, the
grip and pneumonia do in the stormy
month of March. The best way that we
know Of to guard against these diseases
is to strengthen the ystem with Hood S
Sarsaparila-the greatest of life guards.
1t removes the conditions in which these
diseases make their most successful at
tack, gives vigor and tone to all the vital
organs and functions, and imparts a gen

The Spare.Bed.

You like for the preacher to
come and stop over night;
Why of course yUa do, and that
is quite right:
Treat him we'll. give him water
to wash. a comb to comb his
head.
But whatever you do don't put
the preacher in the spare-bed.
Talk about the church, the chill.
dren, and the neighbors,
Talk about the preachers fami
ly or his labours-
Do your best for him-call bless
ings on his head,
But whatever you do don't put
the preacher in the spare. bed.
He expects to die some day and
go strait to Heaven,
But would rather stay while
to put in the leaven;
He wants to live and labour
get happy and shout
He expects to die. but dom
want TO go by the spare bee
route.
