Winter Is the time when most COM

when the going is bad with heavy

'enoed In summer occasionally, when
the going is all right, and team has

such Il case, but II had complications
Here was small double truck with

scarcely more than that. and pair
OF horses not the best p;Iir in town,

the truck that was halted. to give that
truck life, an unusual sight for the
season.
What was the matter? Why couldn't
that team with a comparatively light
load on get away with 1t without help?
The explanation was simple
One Of the horses In the stalled

couldn't call him a balky horse. nor
is he horse that lies down on the

he wont pull, and when you can't

ASK YOUR DOCTOR
Whether He Is Using Ben
etol In His Practice.

II your physician admits that he
is not using Benetol in his daily
practice. he is admitting either
that he has not had time to read

moss-covered with prejudice
against new scientific discoveries
that he is not safe person to have

But while doctors know of uses
for .Benetol to which you could

sand ways in which you need it in

septic that Is not a poison, the
ONLY mouth wash or douche that

and sores in less than half the time
taken by any other applications;
allays pain and prevents blistering
in burns and scalds. 1t Is many
times as efficient as peroxide or
any known infection preventative,
and has a hundred more uses.
In the hands of your doctor it
adds to his life-saving power an
hundred fold; In your own home 1t
may any moment, any day, save
the life of one of your family as a
preventative. Benetol stands
alone. There is nothing like it at
any price. Even scientists cannot
describe HOW it works; they only
know 1t DOES. 1t is new revela-

FORGET-ME-NOT

Many, many centuries ago, when
the world was new, the Father
clothed it with thousands of beau
tiful plants and flowers and inhab-
tied it with all kinds of living crea-
lures.
Then gave to each of these a
name. But one timid little blue
eyed flower forgot her name, so
she crept back and stood at His
feet where she could gaze up into
His face. =
She was frightened at first, but
finally she gained courage and
said in a very meek, gentle voice,
ALAS, dear Father, / have forgot
ten the name Thou gavest me-"
The Father looked down at the
tiny blue face, and smiling kindly
at its sweet purity, He said, For
get-Me-Not."
When you pluck this dear little
flower from Mother Earth in the
spring, you might remind her that
her name is "Forget-Me-Not."

David heard the war cry and
he also saw that not a soldier

the challenge. "If no one else
will, I'll do it," he said to the

Babies must have pure sweet
milk in the hot weather. Mothers
should use bottled milk, keep the
cap on the bottle, keep the bottle
in a clean, cool place and never
allow flies near the milk. Here
is a way to make an ice box for
baby's milk at cost of about
25 cents:
Take an ordinary soap box or
fruit packing case, and within it
place a tin pail. Between the
pail and the walls of the box pack
sawdust. Place ice and milk in
the pail. Ice enough to keep the
milk at the right temperature will
cost but few cents a day.

Israel, but his brothers told him
