was a Titan shade. She was mighty
good to look upon, may her beauty
never fade. She was the wife of
soldier, who went to fight lover

and in it's was tot so fair. He was
bright little fellow, he cooed and
smiled SO dear. His little heart was
light and gay. his eyes sparkled

who passed. he knew nothing but joy.

These are just such foods as one
should eat during the first stages of a

careful to eat properly, that the cold
may be quickly thrown off. C*
During the first few days eat a light
laxative diet of low fuel value letting

This should be followed with diet
of ordinary fuel value and then as
