When DR.. PEBBLES got back to New

for the man or woman OF nineteen as
well as for the person Of ninety-one.
In fact any. age between nineteen

The doing Of things that are worth

note that the doctor said. Il compel

See the difference?

The feeling Of age Is not always ex-
pressed In years. Some men Of thirty
five are older than others Of ninety.
They are the ones who sit III the cor

The others are up and doing. The
frost on their hair does not chill the

may be rheumatism IN their joints. but
there Is none Ii their mentality, In

In the working of the universe. wise,
though often inscrutable. everything

and hard life of George Robinson will
help to uplift the world, for he left
a message.
Before he died he wrote note to a

He had played the crooked game and
knew that In it the cards are stacked

You can't beat It.
He knew the game was crooked, but
he had not the moral courage to break
sway from 1t. To its very crooked
end he played it, for suicide is a
crooked way Of finishing the game, of
casting aside the worlds burdens and
responsibilities.
