The Quaker Bow.

For truly the Pennsylvania Quaker
farm and homestead was great
place for a boy to grow into a man.
The old conditions lasted till the civil
war. Since then there has been a
gradual scattering of the old families,
and their places have been taken by
immigrants and renters of another
type. The old race will be largely
extinct in another generations; but
many a man now in middle life or
beyond who has made his mark in
Philadelphia or elsewhere in business
or professional life, blesses the fate
that gave him the physical and moral
basis of such boyhood.-Isaac Sharp

House Fly a Common Enemy.

Although the mosquito specializes
on yellow fever and malaria and is
universally recognized as an enemy
to be fought outright, scientists have
come to regard the common house fly
as the more dangerous. The mosquito
will spread only one or two diseases,
but the house fys only speciality is
filth. Typhoid germs, tuberculosis
germs and a hundred other germs
that drops its load of refuse in the

Thomas A. Edison, the great Amer
lean inventor, says Fully eighty per
cent of the illness of mankind comes
from eating improper food or too
much food; people are inclined to
over indulge themselves" This is
where indigestion finds its start in
nearly every case. The stomach can
do ju I so much work and no more,
and when you overload it, or when
you eat the wrong kind of food, the
digestive organs cannot possibly do
the work demanded of them. 1t is at
such times that the stomach needs
help; it demands help and warns you
by headaches, belching, sour stomach,
nausea, and indigestion. You should
attend to this at once by taking some
thing that will actually do the work
for the stomach. 1t is pleasant to
take. 1t digests what you eat. Sold
