evening, proved himself to be most anus
ing and unique biographer. Although we
may have felt pretty well acquainted with
Mr.. Longfellow, we certainly learned much
more about him that night; told to Us in q
most original manner. If the Principal of
"Briarley" could persuade Mr.. Griggs to
write textbook for her Literature class,
marvellous would be the results. After q
delightful selection Of plano and violin
music, several fine Rotations were given.
Then came the "Longfellow TAbleaux"--
Hiawatha and many Indian braves were
prominent In paint, feathers and beads;
Miles Standlsh and the gentle Priscilla were
not forgotten; Evangeline and Gabriel were
there, and with the hospital scene the enter.

RYDALE'S TONIC
A REAL CURE FOR
MAT,AR,TA


1t has recently been discovered that
the germs that produce Malaria, breed
and multiply in the intestines and from
there spread throughout the system
by means of the blood. This fact ex-
plains why Malaria Is hard to cure by
the old method of treatment. Quinlne,
Iron, etc., stimulate the nerves and
build up the blood. but do not destroy
the germs that cause the disease.
Rydale's Tonic has a specific effect
upon the intestines and bowels, freeing
them from all disease breeding mi
crobes. It also kills the germs that
infest the veins and arteries. 1t drives
from the blood all poisonous matter
and makes 1t rich and healthy.
RYDALE'S TONIC Is a blood
builder. a nerve rcstorer and Ma aria
destroyer. Try It, it will not disap
point you.
