Unhappily there is no agreement on

although every centenarian believes
he has the secret. The fact is. there
is a good deal of luck about it. OF
course everybody knows that the per-
son who starts in with a good ply

over the person who inherits weak

GRANDMOTHER WAS DRUGGIST.

In the early days of our country
grandmother was the druggist, and her
drugs consisted mostly of roots and
herbs gathered from the fields and for
ests- There was peppermint for indiges-
tion, mullen for coughs, skullcap for
nervousness. thoroughwort for colds,
NORWOOD for bruises and sprains and
so on. They were successful remedies,
TOO. 1t was from a combination of such
roots and herbs that Mrs. Lydia E.
Pinkham of Lynn, Mass, more than 40
years ago, originated her now famous
Vegetable Compound; and during all
these long years no other remedy has
ever been discovered to restore health
to ailing women so successfully as this
good old-fashioncd root and herb med
icine.

special meaning to the word Papa as it
Is used for them.
I'm olden days the word papa
meant goodie This was word used
by some people known as the Celts.
They used to feed their children all
sorts of soft delicacies which they
called goodies and as the seeds of pop
pies were sometimes boiled (not for

and made very soft, they were called
goodies, too. Then as Papa meant a
Goodie, they became known by that
name-and of course later on were
called peoples. Some peoples were
talking together in a garden once and
they were telling the little poppies the
history of their name. Soon they be-
