1t is a true saying that your health

keen eyes; tireless energy and en-
thusiasm; and an abundant supply
of reserve strength.
And just as positively does poor,

guidness; tiredness; worn-out feel

the body is not receiving its proper
nourishment through the blood.
Pepto-Mangan helps restore vigor-

very elements so much needed by the

asked a jailer to keep the pie until
she could secure the permit. Becom-
