Old age as Il comes in the orderly
process Of Nature iS q beautiful and
majestic thing. The very shadow of
eclipse which threatens Is, makes it
the more priced. Il stands for ex-
~perience, knowledge, wisdom and
counsel. That is old age IS Il should
be. But old age as 1t so often is means
nothing but q second childhood of
mind and body. What makes the
~differeneef Very largely the care OF
the stomach. In youth and the full
strength Of manhood Il doesn't seem
to matter how we treat the stomach.
We abuse IL, overwork Il, iniure It.
We don't suffer from it much. Bat
when age comes the stomach is worn
out. Il can't prepare and distribute
the needed nourishment to the body,
and the body, unnourished, falls into
senile decay. DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery Is q wonderful
medicine for old people whose atom-
achs are "weak" and whose indiges-
tions are "poor.D its invigorating
effects are felt by mind as Wen az
body. It takes the sting from old age,
and makes old people strong.

Ing child to be left handed is the GER
tainty that 1t will be nicknamed from
Its popularity, especially during the
early years Of life. Most counties in
England have their idiomatlc express
sions to denote left handedness, and
they are often prefixcd to the unfortu-
nate left handed chlds name. In Lon
don the term is kack handed, the word
being also equivalent to awkward In
Lancashire it is k-pawed. In Yorkshire
gallock or gawk handed, an expression
dating back to at least the seventeenth
century. In Dcrbyshirc are used the
terms keg handed, cork handed and
corky handed, while in the Teesdalc
district cuddy handed is common and
In Nottinghamshire wallet handed.
In the south of England special terms
to denote left handedneSs are also
found. In Dorset it is scrame handed.
and in Devonshire coochy handed. In
Scotland we find gawl handed, and in
the west cawry handed. In Ireland a
