Naturally, such a decided
change means a severe tax
upon the elements involved.
In plant life. it means that
all the energy stored away

or tree must gather new
forces to feed and develop it
and give it strength and
nourishment to enter upon
the long dry heated term.
Similarly, the human body
has just passed through the
severest season of the entire
year, and has been subject to
the hardships of the winter
season with all of its various
attacks of sickness and dis
ease. And even though you

Mothers whose husbands earnings are comparatively
small must put up with inferior for themselves and

AS springtime approaches
you begin to notice a loss of
energy, you become easily
tired out and fatigued, your
appetite fails, and that worm
out. good-for-nothing, run
down feeling seems to have
complete possession of your
body. Your poor, tired out
body has fallen a victim to
what is commonly called
spring fever" and a feeling
of complete lassitude per-
vades the entire system.
Just as plant life throws
off the accumulations of the
winter season, so does the hui
man system find it necessary
to get rid of the impurities
that have crept in, and made
the blood supply sluggish and
.interfered with the vigor and
strength and energy that is
so badly needed to enter up
on the new season.
The most important part of
the human system is the
blood supply. 1t is absolute
ly necessary that the ever
flowing stream of life-giving
fluid be kept pure and rich
and that no impurities be per-
mitted to creep in to make it
sluggish and impair your gen.
