The following is the recipe as given
by well-known authority, and any
one can prepare it at home:
Fluid Extract Dandelion one-half

Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla three
ounces.
Get these simple ingredients from
any good pharmacy and mix by shak-

teaspoonful after meals and at bed

Everybody should take something to
help the blood, which becomes impov-

Good Morals But Bad Manners.
Already l have dim suspicion that
one reason for the antipathy which
many travellers have to missionaries
is to be found in the latter's attitude
toward life aboard ship and in port
cities. The missionary is, infer, often
narrow and intolerant, and DESTROYS of
imposing his standards upon every
body. He is prone to make unman-
nerly remarks about the amount of
drinking that goes on, seven days a
week, aboard ship. The incessant
gambling, also, of the smoking room
and ship saloons gets on his puritan
ical nerves. He cannot see-and he is
entirely too blunt and inconsiderate, I
believe, in expressing this opinion
why practices should be counted good
form aboard ship that are contrary to
the law of the land when ashore. That
is the way he justifies his tactlessly.
aired opinions.
Tourists do not like to have the
narrow standards of the missionaries
thus flung at their heads consciously:
and they are not likely to form an en-.
tirely favorable estimate of their, crit.
les. "Too many young missionaries. !"
said a famous veteran missionary to
me a few minutes ago, think that
they must start out by trying to con-
vert the whole ship. They do not try
to mingle socially and congenially
with their fellow passengers. They
acquire an identity as missionaries.
