Discrepancy In Ages CAUSED BIN
Cneasiness.
Many of the boys in the vicinity or
little Bobby's home were from three
to six years older than he and, after
the manner of small boys, objected to
having one so much younger take an
active part in their games. When
six year-old Bobby protested against
this his nurse and mother explained
and excused this grievous condition OF
affairs by explaining that they were
too old" for him. Bobby received this
explanation in silence and. while not
satisfied, remembered it.
A few days later Bobby. who had
been up to some small mischief. was
reproved by his nurse. After explain
ing that what he had done was
naughty in order to make her reproof
more impressive she told him that God
would not approve of it. On hearing
this Bobby thought hard for a mo-
ment
"Is God older than | ann" he finally
inquired.
"Oh. yes. dear! a great deal older"

How old is God% was the next
query.

Bobby gave a little sigh.
"Oh, dear! l guess he's too old for
me, then. That's probably the reason
why we can't agree. It's too bad.
First it was the boys that were too
old for me, and now it's God. It's
dreadful hard being only six years
old. Nothing seems to match that
age."-New York Times.

Proper Treatment of Pneumonia.
Pneumonia is too dangerous a

doctor himself, although he may
have the proper remedies at hand.
A physician should always be call

however, that pneumonia always
results from a cold or from an at
tack OF the grip, and that by CIV

the threatened attack of pneu-

remedy is also used by physicians
in the treatment of pneumonia
with the best results. DR.. W. j.
