WOMAN WAS POOR BUT PROUD
Mrs. Curran Tells Her Curious Neigh.
bors That District Visitor Is
Only Her Dressmaker.

A lady, who is a district visitor, be-
came much interested in a very poor
but apparently respectable Irish fam
lily named Curran living on the top
floor of great building in a slum dis
trict of her parish.
Every time she visited the Currans
she was annoyed by the staring and
the whispering of the other women
living in the building. One day she
said to Mrs. Curran:
Your neighbors seem very curious
to know who and what l am and the
nature Of my business with you
They do" acquiesced Mrs. Curran.
DO they ask you about it?"
"1ndade they do, ma am"
And do you tell them?"
Faith, thin, Oh do not"
What do you tell them?''
"Oi just tell Them" was the calm
reply, that We are me dressmaker an
let it go at that" -Pittsburgh Chron-

HOW TO GET STRENGTH

after any sickness is purely matter of
nourishment, whether the attack was
IN ordinary cold or severe illness; the
weakened forces cannot repulse disease
germs, and this is why a relapse is so
often fatal or why chronic weakness often
follows sickness. G
Restoring strength to millions of people
for forty years has proven the real need
for taking SCOTS Emulsion after any
sickness; nothing equals nothing
compares with it. It's pure, medicinal
Ssourishment, free from alcohol or opiates,
promptly creates rich blood, strengthens
the nerves and lungs to avert tuberculosis.

Cy who was spokesman of the
