The Right Road to Health

Few women are satisfied with their

What should my measurements be

With these words little While started
forth, but greatly to his surprise he did
not appear to create single ripple Of
excitement in the world.
Nobody seemed to be waiting about
with any bouquets TO hand 10 him. or to
solicit him to accept a large and lucrative
position in the financial district, And
when he began TO tell about how pre-
cocious he was as a child. and to ex-
plode some OF his baby fireworks they
Knocked him.

went to a wise old man and put up a
