The boys and girls thought it would
not be amiss to do little boasting.
for they felt they had it coming, and
they joined in giving the class yell
with a righteousness that probably
caused the early sleepers of the viii

Avoid Harsh Drugs

If you are subject TO constipation.
you should avoid strong drugs and
cathartics. They only give tempo

harmful and sometimes more annoy

way effect cure and their tendency
is TO weaken the already weak or

We honestly believe that we have
the best constipation treatment ever
devised. Our faith in it is so strong
that we sell it on the positive guar
antee that it shall not cost the user

1T is manly, noble and honorable
to accept Jesus Christ in our lives

Hypocrisy Unattractive.
1.-The world honors the person who

processes to be a Christian but does
not consistently live it, No one is
attracted by hypocrisy. But to live

The justice of the peace saw that il
