BRIGHTER CHILDREN

Children probably brighterto-day

So many pinched faces, dulled eyes

If your children catch colds easily,
are tired when rising, lack healthy
color, or find studies difficult, give
them SCOTS Emulsion for one month

Macbeth not strong enough char
acter for his circumstances nor noble
enough to resist temptation. and not
enough of q villain to yield whole

consisting in the perpetual conflict Of
antagonistic moral forces in his ma

vague sense of the necessity of his ac-
ton as written down beforehand in the
Book of Fate induce him 10 a muir
der against the dishonor and disloyalty
OF which his better qualities never
cease TO revolt.
Macbeth far too susceptible. sensi-
tive and hysterical 10 act a villains

moment of the idea of numbering Dun

Macbeth's ultimate despair and degra-
hation Lady Macbeth. the dormant
character Of the play, the most man
like terrible of all Shakespeare's wo-
men, yet still womanly- womanly in
her ambition, her crime her suffering
Her incapacity. for all her endeavor
TO unseX herself as Clytaemnestra did
and the more and more unmistakable
appearance Of her essential femnmity

her husband; ambition and fear as the

THE gist of the tragedy OF Macbeth
