Not Afraid of a Ghost.

In a village in England. month or
so ago, a man came running into an
inn at nine o'clock at night and cried
out that there was ghost in his back
yard. There were IA men in the inn,
and not one of them dared to so home
with the man and investigate. There
was person who dared, however, and
that was the landlords daughter, girl
of a. Some of the men followed her
at distance, and she went into the
yard and up to the ghost tapping its
arms about, and discovered-what?
That it was no more nor less than a
mans white shirt tapping on the
clothes line in a strong breeze. That's
about the way all ghosts turn out.

But a Change of Food Gave Relief.

Many persons are learning that
drugs are not the thing to rebuild
