health means a great deal OF care and
attention, Dut to T. cry him about put
ting on ruhbers and taking an um-
brella if it threatens rain and to be

mistake.

tered without any great flow of words,

beside him on his desk when he works
at home will be more appreciated
than if you spent twenty minutes
in trying TO persuade him TO drink II.
