MEN ADMIRE
HEALTHY AND
ACTIVE WOMEN

1t is not only beauty of face
and form that men admire in
women; very often it is the
youthful energy and radiant
health that enables them to be
joyfully active.
Men admire women who
take an enthusiastic part in
the activities of modern life:
and women who possess the
necessary health and strength
for such activity invariably
win and hold the admiration
of their family and friends.
If you are leading a mono
tonous, shut-in existence be-
cause of that "tired-feeling,"
due to physical neglect, why
not start taking a good tonic?
Thousands Of women who were
rundown, weakened and dis
couraged have gratefully tes-
titled to the help they have
received from St.Joseph's
G.F.P.
This rich, vegetable tonic
contains Natures own medi-
cines in the form of roots and
herbs which have been used
for over a century to invigo-
rate and strengthen women.

RICH AND POOR
BY GEORGE YAKIM-Akron Pioneer Group.

One night Bill, my friend, home from the
school crying. When his father, a worker in the
Goodyear fabbse shop asked him, he said that the
teacher whipped him. Why? Because Bill dared
to complain for a low mark he received for the
work for which another fellow, rich boy, got a
good mark. Yes, the teacher gives "A"-s and BPS
for the rich kids work and "P"-s and even "F"-s
for the poor ones. Yes, it also happens that some
kids don't know their lessons. Then one of our
boys asked why does he not study. He said that
his father cannot afford to buy all the books "Wen
the teacher said go to work, and then you'll have
the money to buy the books" She said the same
thing to boy who hungry after leaving home
without breakfast She said TO the boy after punish
ing him that "you work in the rubber shop"
The boy said that he would kill himself in the shop,
although he would be glad to go to work. When the
boy got home, he asked his father whether he got
any money. "No, his father said, and ] won't have
for a long time Then he told to Bill that he was
fired from the shop.
There many other differences between rich
and poor. The workers children the poor ones,
the bosses children are the rich
OF course, we workers children do not want to
live all the time the way we do now. Neither do we
want TO be fired from the shops when we grow up.
We shall organize and build up world where
there is no hunger, where every workers child will
be happy, where the workers will decide what they
shall get

From FAIRY TALES FOR WORKERS CHILDREl
(Continued)

(Continued)
The blond man became red with anger and his
eyes sparkled. This made the dog happy. "He Is
really good man." thot he "for only good peopls
are augered by the sufferngs of other peoples
When he was thru speaking, the man said, Bring
your little friend here quickly My horse has rested
enough. We will ride off immediately so that no
one can capture BENJAMIN"
How happy the little grey dog was! In spite Of
his WEAKNESS, he danced with Joy, wagging bis tail
and started toward the bushes where BENJAMIN was
hidden. Then be saw something dreadful man
came over the meadow with dog which ran straight
towards the bushes. The grey dog howled with
fright. The blond man looked up, Jumped forward
and called to the dog, Keep the man back Just
moment, and al win be we'll" At that the dog ran
toward the man. The man had reached the bush
with one bound the dog leaped at his throat biz
hard, did not loosen his hold in spite Of cuts and
blows
In the meantime the northerner had taken little
BENJAMIN IN his arms ran hastily toward the wagon
jumped in, and called TO the dog, Follow u.s. we
viii wait for you in a safe place." Then he cracked
his whip, started the road the brown horse gal
loped ahead for it knew everything that was going
on.
The grey Jog still gripped the mans throat think
ing every moment that he could detain the man. il
would be of advantage to the good man and little
boy, and would save his friend. But the man. tired
of wrestling, took a large knife from his pocket and
plunged It deep into the breast of the faithful dog
Inc oog Whlmpered plteously and fell heavily
the ground. His clouded eyes still saw, far off in
the distance, tiny spot that kept growing smaller
and smaller; that was the wagon which was carry
ing little BENJAMIN. to freedom.
Great joy filled the dogs heart. He wagged his
hushy tail once more. Then he died
The blond man and little Benjamin waited a long
time in vain for the grey dog Benjamin wept Bit
tery, and his friend comforted him: "The brave
dog viii come running back All is well with him.s
But tho Benjamin safe, he was always sad
when he thought of his friend. But he did not know
that the little grey dog had died for him, paying
his debt of gratitude to Benjamin with his life.

The bosses are so cruel to the poor worhingmen
