Progressive Game.

Arrange the room with small tables
to seat four at each, just as you
would for progressive whist. and
make up your minds what game is TO
be played at each table. At one
these might be the marble and pen
ell game, in which the task set is to
lift the marble up with two pencils
and deposit 1t in a basin, difficult
feat, as you will find when you try.
At another a racing game might be
provided, and at third the alpha
betical geographical one might reign,
for which pencils and pieces of paper
will be wanted, since the task set is
to write down as many names of
places that begin with given letter
in q given time as possible.
Having decided upon the different
games. the players must be seated,
and as soon as one wins a game or
test at one table he moves on to the
next, proceeding as fast as possible
on his way to prize, for prizes are
given to those two who Hrst come in
winners, and a BOBBY one to the in
dividual who arrives last.

Ten Nouns.

Boys and girls who wish their
games to be something more than
mere time-killers will, find this one
especially Interesting and entertain
ing. 1t Is intended for young people
who have reached the composition
writing age. and will prove good
test of their readiness in that art.
Each player is provided with a pen
Gil and sheet Of paper. and someone
selected for the purpose then die
tates ten nouns. which the players
are to write at the top Of their papers
The nouns must have no connection
with each other in sense.
Then tho players are told that they
must each write a little story, in
which they must use all ten OF the
nouns. A time limit should be fxed; !;
say, twenty or thirty minutes. and
the stories are then handed in to the
person who acts as Judge. He reads
them all to the players. and then Sc
lects the best two or three. to the
writer's OF which a prize should be
given.
Suppose, for example. that the
nouns given to the players are vase,
stick. side-saddle. celery. apple. coal,
desk. cradle, organ. paper case, here
is story showing how they are to
be used:

IT IS IN THE BLOOD
Neither Liniments nor 0intments
Will Reach Rheumatism-How
Mr.. Stephenson Was Cured.

People with inflamed and aching
Joints, or painful muscles people who
shuttle about with the aid Of a cane or q
crutch and cry, Oh at every slight jar,
are constantly asking, ,"What is the best
thing for rheumatism ?''
To attempt to cure rheumatism by ex.
ternal applications is . foolish waste of
time. The seat Of the disease is in the
blood, and while the sufferer is rubbing
lotions and grease on the skin the poison
in the circulation is increasing.
Delays in adopting a sensible treatment
are dangerous because rheumatism may
at any moment reach the heart and prove
fatal. The only safe course for rheumatic
sufferers is to get the best possible blood
remedy at once.
Mr.. Stephenson's experience with this
obstinate and distressing affliction is
that of hundreds. He says:
"About year ago was attacked by
severe rheumatic pains in my left
shoulder. The pains were worse in wet
weather, and at these periods caused me
the greatest suffering. I tried q number
of treatments and ointments, but they
failed to alleviate the pains
4Acu Ao Ith1lzcu tIlht tuo Chuso iIluSt
be deeper and the pain only surface in
dication. He adds:
81 had, heard DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People recommended as cure
for rheumatism, and when found that
Twas getting no relief from applications,
made mp my mind that would try
them. Before the first box was gone
noticed that the pains were becoming
less frequent, and that they were not SO
severe as before. After the second box
had been used up was entirely free
from discomfort, and have had no traces
Of rheumatism since"
The change in treatment proved by
almost immediate results that Mr..
Thomas Stephenson, who lives at No.115
Greenwood street, Springfield, Mass,
had found the true means for the EuriR-
cation and enrichment of his blood.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills are without
doubt the best of all blood remedies.
They effect genuine and lasting cures in
rheumatism. They do not merely deaden
the ache. but they expel the poison from
the blood. These pills are sold by all
d uggists.
