Great Business Losses Due TO

President OF the Polk-Mlller Drug

for the following extraordinary STATE
ment:
"I estimate that the business men OF
this country could increase their etii-

occasional laxative and not neglecting
the bowels as most OF them do"
He also said that II the Department
Of Commerce In Washington would

The only thing in common between
Mrs. Dale, who lived in the fashionable
part OF the town know as "The Heights" !"
and Mrs. Dale who had her abode in
Sandy Flats, was their name.
Mrs. Dale OF The Heights-who had
also consented to take deIegate-gave
orders 10 her housekeeper TO prepare the
guest chamber, and TO her chauffeur TO
drive her limousine down TO the station
TO meet the later train, on which ministers
were expected to arrive,
Mrs. Dale's automobile was waiting
when the train pulled in. Cap in hand,
the chauffeur approached the group OF
men who had alighted from the train.
(Which OF you gentlemen is 10 be the
guest of Mrs. Dale ?" he asked respect
fully.
A shabbIy clad young man with an
earnest face stepped forward. "This
card says am TO stop at Mrs. Dale's. .
he announced hesitantly. He was not
used to being entertained by people who
owned expensive cars.
Jump right in, sir" said the chauffeur.
"Mrs Dale's expecting you"
The minister deposited himself and his
equally shabby suit case in the car, and
was whirled luxuriousIY away.
Mrs Dale, who received her delegate
in the hall OF her imposing house, greeted
him as cordially as if he had been the
highest digniiary of the ohurch-the kind
she was usually expected to entertain.

bishop, acquainted with wisdom; more
over, she had kindly heart.
"Yes-I am Mrs. Dale, she said, land

The Measure Of Life.

They err who measure life by years
With false or thouehtless tongue.
Some hearts grow old before their time
Others are always young.
'Tis not the number OF the lines
On life's fast filling page.
'Tis not the pulses added throbs
Which constitute their age.
Some souls are serfs among the free,
While others nobly thrive;
They stand just where their fathers stood.
Dead, even while they live.
Others, all spirit. heart and sense,
There's the mysterious power
To live iE thrills Of Joy or woe
A twelve-month in an hour.
He liveth long who liveth well
All other life is short and vain;
He liveth longest who can tell
OF living most for heavenly gain.
He liveth long who liveth well
All else is being flung away;
He liveth longest who can tell
OF true things truly done each day.

McPhee's Reinvestment.

An Irishman named McPhee lived in a
shanty that stood in field near a road

WHY YOU ARE NERVOUS

The nervous system is the alarm system

In perfect health we hardly realize that
