A Gambler Who Found Way Out

purchase the clerk was dismissed and the
new owner soon afterwards sold the hotel

A quarrel which 14-year-old French

STRENGTH FOR OLD PEOPLE

Old people, to overcome the weaken
ing, facilitating effects of increasing
old age, often make very sadmistake
in using so-called remedies" that
contain alcohol and dangerous or habit
forming drugs. Often this stuff, be-
cause it livens and brightens them up a
little just after taking a dose, leads
them to imagine that it is doing them
good, when it isn't. Remedies that
rely for their sale on such deceit, do
harm, because the false excitement of
the nerves and heart leaves them
worse than they were before.

OF Sl5,UUU.
Whereas, the county of Forest has
