WORRY AND HURRY.

WORRY AND HURRY.
There are two little demons We have
to combat,
And their names are Worry and
Hurry,
They play the deuce with our nerves
and all that,
But Still we keep on with our
furry.
We hurry through breakfast. then OF
like shot.
We worry through work till the
end OF the day.
We hurry through dinner, after which,
like as not,
We hurry again to be of 10 a
play"
We hurry ths baby as far as we can,
Kindergarten and high school and
college, you bet,
Are raced through in our hurry TO
make him man,
Till his brain is tumble, his nerve
all upset.
Then we wonder why half OF the
worlds inefficient.
As we rampage along in our furry
am sure this very good reasons
sufficient,
1t is due to our Worry and Hurry
Do you think, after all. it is worth
what we pay,
In nervous prostration and number
less ills?
Why can't we take time to live, day
by day.
For truly and surely, It's hurry that
kills.

What Thin Folks Should
Do To Gain Weight
Physicians Advice for Thin, Unde.
veloped Men and Women.


Thousands of people suffer from ex-
cessive thinness. weak nerves and
feeble stomachs who. having tried adj
vertised flesh-makers, food-fads, physi-
cal culture stunts and rub-on creams,
resign themselves to lifelong skinni-
ness and think nothing will make
them fat. Yet thar case is not hope
less. recently discovered regenera-
tive force makes fat grow after years
OF thinness, and is also unequalled for
repairing the waste of sickness or
faulty digestion and for Strengthening
the nerves. This remarkable discov-
cry is called Sargol. Six strength-giy-
ing. fat-producing elements OF ac-
knowledged merit have been com.
hined In this peerless preparation,
which is endorsed by eminent physi-
clans and used by prominent people
everywhere 1t is absolutely harm
less. inexpensive and efficient.
months systematic use OF Sargol
should produce flesh and strength by
correcting faults of digestion and by
supplying highly concentrated fats to
the blood. Increased nourishment is
obtained from the food eaten, and the
additional fats that thin people need
are provided. Wilkinson & Co.. and
other leading druggists supply Sargol
and say there is large demand for 1t.
While this new preparation has Civ
en- splendid results as a nerve-tonic
and yitalizer, It should not be used by
nervous people unless they wish to
gain at least ten pounds or flesh.

Good Cheer Aids
Digestion Of Food
Dyspeptics Can Make the Rest
of the Family Happy by
Using a Laxative tonic.

The temper of the family and the
good cheer around the table depend
so much on the good digestion of each
individual present that the expert
ences of some former dyspeptics who
evercame their trouble should be Of
interest to those now suffering In
this way.
The best advice one can give-but
it is advice that is seldom heeded--is
to eat slowly and masticate each
mouthful carefully. However, if slow
eating and careful mastication fail the
next aid is one close to nature, DR..
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. This remedy
is an excellent digestant. and in add
ton to helping in the digestion Of the
food, acts gently on the liver and
bowels. Kidding them of the accumuia
ton OF waste that should long ago
have been passed of. 1t is safe, re
liable, pleasant-tasting, and results
are guaranteed.
Maj. S. Martin, OF Joplin, Mo-. now

sin has helped him to longer and
happier life. He has not felt SO good
in years as he has since taking this
excellent medicine. and In spite of his

Meckling, S. D.-Elmer Ahrendt,
10 years of age, was struck in the
eye and killed, on the evening OF
July A. by a skyrocket which was
|carelessly handled by some boys AT

point of the rocket struck Ahrendt
with full force in the inner part OF
the right eye, making a frightful
cash and bursting the eye socket. He
lived but a few minutes.
The victim lived at the home OF
his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Louis Abr.
