Bobby Coon was quite upset. He
had been so sure that that house OF
Une' Billy Possum's was going 10 b.
his house that II upset him a whole

and that he had got to look some
where else for a house. II made him
angry. disappointment is very ap,

vas angry. lie thought he was an
cry with Unc' Billy Possum. but
really he was angry with himself for
being so stupid as to forget all about
old Mrs. Postum. II he had remem'
bered her In the first place he
wouldn't have dreamed OF trying 70
take that house for himself Two
against one was one too many.
But Bobby didn't let his anger
show. As he looked MP at the sharp
faces OF Unc' Billy and old Mrs Pos
sum grinning down at him he grin
ned back and was full OF apologies,
pretending that his coming there
was all q mistake. He begged TO be
excused. saying that be had got the
wrong house.
"Yo' cert'nly have" snapped old
Mrs. Postum. Must be that yo'
haven't wholly walked up from your

as this. Mistah Coon. Don't do II
again. because An reckon IL might

Bobby said that that was the last
thing In the world that he wanted
and kept on spologiIing as he back

over and over that II was all a mis-

With this Bobby started on

TONIC FOR GROWING GIRLS

Most growing girls need a tonic,
especially during the years when they
are springing up most rapidly and
when their appetites are most tickle.
A diet of tea and candy will ruin any
girls chances of future happiness. A
plentiful and scientifically correct diet
might meet all requirements but this is
next to impossible. Hence the need
for a tonic. Almost every doctors
daughter is given tonic during her
period of rapid growth but because your
daughter does not actually break down
you do not call doctor and she gets
thin and pale, fidgets so that she can
not sit still on chair, eats the wrong
things, eats too fast, gets too little out
of-door exercise and perhaps faces st.
Vitus' Dance, or nervous breakdown.
A great responsibility rests on parents
and DR.. Williams Pink Pills are the
best and most convenient tonic to aid
them in bringing their daughters to
healthy and happy womanhood. They
supply needed elements to the blood,
and enable it to meet the unusual de-
mands upon it and help tolay founda-
ton for future health.
