because it reduces the body's resistance

When debility follows acute diseases,
convalescence is slow and the strength
does not return as it should. An attack
of the grip often results in debility that
persists for months. Everybody recog-
Mics that the remedy for debility is to
build up the blood because the blood
goes to every part of the body and an i'm
provement in its condition is quickly
felt throughout the system. The prob

LOVE YOUR JOB.
Are you trying to climb where the
chosen are;
Where the feet Of men are few?
Do you long for a lob that is worth
ones while?"
Well, here is a thought for you;
The pots of gold at the rainbow's end
Are sought by the teemfng mob,
But the fairies who guard them choose
as friend
The man who loves his Job.
No matter what grip Of hand he has
How poor or strong his brain,
There's always a place for the man
who loves
His work with might and main;
Does he dig ditch, or blaze a trail
Where the dreams of man may run?
No clods of earth shall shoulder him
From his place out in the sun!
It isn't the kick, it's not the pull,
That brings the strong man out;
But it's long time work and it's all
time will.
And the cheerful heart and shout,
Have you faith in yourself? Do you
want to win?
There's Just one thing can bring
you In
With the winners-love your Job!
