KASPARiLLA

Tl4is sterling household remedy is most
successfully prescribed for world of
troubles. For arrangements of the di-
gestive organs it is a natural corrective,
operating directly upon the liver and ali
nientary canal, gently but persistentlv
stimulating healthful activity. Its
beneficial influence extends, however, to
every portion of the system, aiding in the
processes Of digestion and assimilation of
food, pEonoting wholesome, natural
appetite, correcting sour stomach, bad
breath, irregularities of the bowels, con-
stipation and the long list of troubles
difectly fraceable to those unwholesome
conditions. Kasparilla dispels drowsi-
ness, headache, backache and despond-
ency due to inactivity of the liver,
kidneys and digestive tract. 1t is a
strengthening tonic of the highest value.
If it fails to satisfy we authorize all
dealers to refund the purchase price.

A school teacher in the italian quar-

dren the story of the fox and the
grapes. Tony was especially delighted
with the story, and eagerly sought his
chum, Joe, who was in another class.
BY, good luck, the teacher overheard
Tony's version.
In his excited, broken English he
told the fable much as 1t was written
until he came to the end. This was his
rendering of the climax:
