resort to this form Of weakness under

it isn't what you eat but what you
digest that counts. Some stomachs
can't digest even glass Of milk. So
they simply keep on feeding dyspep-

avoid. This they do by using Stuart's

AS many other illustrations were
given to show how an injustice rankles
for years in the heart of child.
Mr.. Kinley was for years principal

as teacher.
