the bunny. and then once more he

once, the bunny heard a funny noise
behind him, and out from underneath
an old stump popped the bad SkilIigi-

'Ah, ha," cried the Slzulgimink,
smacking his teeth, which he had
just cleaned with the toothbrush
fastened on the end OF his tail 'Ah,

and he let Uncle WigEily safely
alone with what was left OF the New

bunny rabbit. How could he bite

TO eat anything on account OF the
dreadful suffering il caused me.

Of good health 7 can't remember
when I was in as good physical con
ditiou as now and it's the first time
since 7 was a child that I could eat
without suffering afterwards Ny ap-
petite IS splendid and can eat Just
anything I want and enjoy IL, and I
know il my food did not agree with
me I could never have gained so much
in weight. I sleep well every night
