HOW she GOT WELL.

A bright young woman we know
from her earliest years cherished m
ambition to be teacher In a college.
For this work she was fitted both by
tastes and intellectual equipment She
pursued this ambition with the great
est devotion and zeal, but through the
years seemed I'd lose sight OF the fact
that a physical constitution none too
strong likewise needed developing and
Strengthening She graduated from
high school and college leader in her
class and took Up teaching work, be
ing rapidly promoted to a position az
instructor in a college. only to face the
crushing disappointment when just
ready to take up her life work that
her health-physicli and nerve force
waS ID shattered that she would have
to relinquish her ambition. She con-.
suited physicians, who told her her
only hope for health lay i'm getting
into the great outdoors and working
there. She resigned herself to this
state or things. but nor aimlessly. She
decided to fit herself as an expert mar
ket gardener ami has succeeded be-
yond her highest expectations. She
not only directs IA. garden work, but
does great l.iI Df II herself. She
has made 4 thorough study Of the
science OF gnrdaains and does every
thing In the latest and most approved
way. She uses i;ralC care in the Sc
lection of seal. '1npwS the value of
fertilizers and thorough cultivation and
lastly. but nor IT least importance.
takes especial az ia the marketing
or her fruit lud vegetables. For these
she receives the highest market prices.
Aside from thu hnlncial end of the I'M
certaking. she has Been a gamer. The
terrible nervous headaches are gone:
the depression nnl exhaustion. anC
she has gained In weight and strength,
the sun and outdoor air and work In
the soil having largely restored her
health.
