Your Postmaster

Is an important man in the commun-
ity. He has many things to look
after, and watches the time for the
arrival and departure of the mails
very carefully. If he didn't follow the
regular schedule, things would be in
a pretty fix. But he knows the value
OF regularity and takes good care to
get the mails off on time. In mat
tiers of health the postmaster's ex-
ample is good one to follow. Keep
your habits regular, and when the
stomach, liver or bowels need help, be
sure to take the right remedy in time.
Neglect to do this makes matters
worse and harder to remedy. Many
postmasters in New England will tell
you that ~. F." Atwood's Medicine
is fine remedy to keep the system in
order. It is a great regulator, acting
promptly in cases of indigestion, sick
