thel father of an unusually precocious
youngster a five yearsold boy. One
day he was invited out to an afternoon
party, and before going he was warned
by his mother not to take a second help

"If they offer it say you have had
enough" cautioned the mother.
When the kid got home, mamma in
quired how he had Jared.

second piece, and told them had had
enough, but did not know what to say
when they asked me again. You never
told me-"

he's cross with me for eating too much
cake, Take the d-thing away"

CATARRH CANNOT BE CURED

with Local Applications, as they cannot
reach the seat OF the disease. Catarrh Is a
blood or constitutional disease, and in order
to cure it you must take internal remedies.
Halls Catarrh Cure is taken internally, and
acts directly on the blood and mucous sur
faces. Halls Catarrh cure is not a quack
medicine. 1t was prescribed by one of the
best physicians in this country for years and
is a regular prescription. 1t is composed OF
the best tonics known, combined with the
best blood purifiers, acting directly on the
mucous surfaces. The perfect combination
of the two ingredients is what produces such
wonderful results in curing catarrh. Send

AN SEVERED

Have "already enough property to
provide for your family in case of your
death2" But I need not tell "you"
that PRESENT possession does not
necessarily mean PERMANENT
possession. Moreover, loss of prop
erty too often comes hand in hand
with failing health and increasing age,
when life insurance can no longer be
obtained. In any event, however
great ones wealth may De, ready
money is needed in settling an estate
to save other property from sacrifice.
A life insurance policy is cash in bank.
"Not ready YETI" That's because
you are just now in robust health with
every promise of long life. If you
knew that, at some time within year
the exact date alone being uncer-
tain-you would be uninsurable, you
would be ready for policy Immediately,
and would want US to rush things.
Well, there are just two things that you
do actually know:
a. You know, or think you do,
that you are insurable now.
b. You know, without a doubt, that
sooner or later you will be Uninsurable,
how soon you cannot tell.
The LOGIC of it is, insure now
while you can, do not guess at the
future, or trust to chance, but act on
certainties.
"Income not sufficient" to support
your family and pay life insurance
premiums also? How, then, would
the family live were that income to be
cut off altogether by your death?
Don't want to leave your vile "a lot
of money so that she can get married
again and spend it on some other
fellow" Ell? Well, now, don't think
she will be inclined to marry again.
Poverty and want, however, may drive
her to adopt even this undesirable
expedient.
If you don't wish that to happen,
leave sufficient life insurance to provide
for her in comfort, and the matrmo-
NAL lottery will not tempt her a second
time.
