In Time Of Peace.

In the first months OF the Russia-Japan
war we had a striking example Of the
necessity for preparation and the early
advantage of those who, so to speak
"have shingled their roofs in dry
weather" The virtue Of preparation
has made history and given to us our
greatest men. The Individuals well az
the nation should be prepared for any
emergency. AreyOu prepared to success
fully combat the first cold you take? A
cold can be cured much more quickly
when treated as soon az it has been con-
tracted and before it has become settled
