Habits.

Habit may be either a strong helt
past peril. or fetter that holds its
dctim helpless. Some young people
never consider habit forming at all:
1t is not taken into account IN their
lives. They form none but accidental
and unconscious ones IF asked what
their fixed habits are they will laugh
at the question. They know so little
about it that they think they could
change any habit they have in day
Yet in reality they are binding them
selves in chains of iron and making a
free and happy life impossible for
themselves Later on-S Selected

SICK HEADACHE

Sick headache is nearly always
caused by disorders of the stomach.
Correct them and the periodic attacks
of sick headache will disappear. Mrs.
John Bishop Roseville, Ohio, writes:
about year ago I was troubled
with Indigestion and had sick head
ache that lasted for two or three
days at a time. I doctored and tried
number of remedies but nothing
helped me until during one of those
sick spells a friend advised me to
take Chamberlain's Tablets. This
medicine relieved me in a short time. =
