Of caution from one who knows all

Wear rubbers in damp weather;
keep your feet dry; drink plenty Of

pain or swollen joints or muscles, you
can get rid of all agony in Just few

to have been a question of price with

this possible. Captain Newman said
he was very we'll satisfied with the
price received. The fact the govern
