Loss of Appetite,

Is the first signal of disorder and
decay. The usual loss of appetite
is caused by functional disturbances
in the stomach. The stomach fails
to do the work required. the appe-
tite is gone, and the body suffers
from lack of nourishment. Such a
stomach needs to be cleaned and
sweetened. Meritol Tonic Digestive
is made especially to assist the
stomach to digest food, and promote
a healthy appetite. This remedy is

Contributed

For the school as for the indi-
vidual "some days must be dark
and dreary.' And dark, indeed,
have been the past few days
for the high school The custom
ary spirit of joyous hopefulness has
been almost crushed, and completely
absent its atmosphere OF eager an
ticipation and earnest looking be-
yond this preparatory period OF
school days, into a future filled
with the brightest promise. The
shadow of the grim Reaper Death
has not been just discernible in
the dim distance, but he has de-
scended into our very midst and
carried away one of our strongest,
our noblest, our best.
Joe Parker entered the high school
and enrolled in the sophomore class
in September. Though his stay
among us was brief so genial, so
manly and industrious was he that
readily he became a general fayorite
with both students and instructors.
Since manhood's prophecy may be
clearly read in the character and
habits of the boy we feel sure that
not only has his home and the
little school circle, but our entire
community sustained, by his untime-
ly demise, a great loss. We know,
however. that heaven will be the
richer because Of Joe's presence.
Friday night it became known that
Harry Pfeiffer, a member OF our
graduating class of last May, had
died suddenly at the home of his
parents. This sad announcement cast
a gloom over our little city, for to
know Harry was to love him. Every
one was his friend and he was a
friend to all His sterling character,
his delicate, refined, sensitive ma
ture, and his faithful studiOusness,
linked with loftiest ambition, made
him a veritable prince among boys.
Seldom may so many qualities OF
true worth, characteristics that in
themselves are stepping stones to
greatness, be found in a single in
dividual. Nor can the closest scru-
tiny detect one flaw to mar the
beauty, or detract from the frag-
rance, of Harry's short life among us.
The deep shadow has indeed eclips-
ed his sun long before it could reach
its zenith but, as the rays of the
rising sun tint all the eastern hori-
zon, giving promise of the splendor
of the coming day, so does this boys $
school life mirror the possibilities,
nay, the probablities-of that man
hood denied him here on earth. We
do not wish, nor shall we think OF
our loved schoolmate as dead, for
"There is no death! What seems SO
is transition.
This life of mortal breath
Is but a suburb of the life Elysian,
Whose portal We call Death"
