frican Giants.

There are many giants In Africa nine
feet high. Some Of them weigh 3oo
pounds and are strong enough to Kill
panther at one blow. Perhaps you
think such big fellows must be clumsy,
but they are not. They can run faster
than any horse, sprlnging twelve to
fourteen feet at leap. This all sounds
like fairy story, but not 30 when you
hear that these African giants are
Dstriches.

perils to guard against In swamps and

bones and muscles and may induce
deadly typhoid. But Electric Bitters
