My Dear Sir
1t makes no difference where you

tain amount of knocking, L suppose
this is because knocking is the east
est thing in the world to do. TO De
constructive is the difficult task.
Knocking is usually the tool of small
minds, small men and the expression
of envy, jealousy and petty concep-
lions. A real man stands on his
own merit-four square to all the
winds that blow. a small man trles
to rise by tearing down others.
Knocking is TO the small man one OF
the implements in his burglars XII
of tools. The sad part OF knocking
is the great injustice it does to the
victim. It's cruel; it's heartless.
it's destructive, it's stabbing in the
dark it's not just the same as muir
der, but closely akin to it. Lets
practice fairness and consideration,
Lets be big not small.

cruelty oppressed, spoiled his brother
by violence, and did that which is
not good among his people, 10, even

Secret OF A Good Disposition

A woman who carefully safeguards
her health benefits her disposition.
She will be happy and attractive to
all. The world unfortunately is
filled with sweet women who are I'M
happy because they are held back
from usefulness by troubles so com
mon among them. Fretfulness and
nervousness rapidly destroy good
dispositions. Sickly, all-worn-
women cannot make happy homes.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is safeguard of women's
health. This is clearly proven by
the many letters we are continually
publishing in this paper, from women
who have been restored to health and
happiness by it's use after years of
suffering. Why don't you try it.
