he's done his worst, they'll take

one of those who will not do what
he ought even with some one
standing over him to show him
how. And he wastes time and
squanders opportunity and his
end doubtless will be that of all
spend.thrifts.
And the inconsistent thing about
him is that he began all we'll

For the Walls
IL the bathroom walls are OF tile,
use the same treatment as for
floors. As the walls receive very
little wear, an occasional washing
with soap and water is usually all
that Is required. Tiled walls are,
of course, most easily cared for.
The new tiled wall board also
gives a bright. hard-finished sur

soap and water. On this finish,
as on enamel paint, one should
use q neutral soap and light
studs. A little borax added to the
water is a help. Use a soft cloth
for washing and one for rinsing,

gan to be alarmed about me. They
had me try several medicines, but I
felt no better. Then a relative
suggested Viuna, and after just a
few doses, began to feel a diff
ference. Before the first bottle was
gone, had a good appetite for the
first time in months. Soon had
gained seven pounds. Now, my syS-
tenn is regular, feel fine and can
eat anything. Viuna helped me so
wonderfully that I gave it to my
daughter. She had kidney and blad-
der trouble for some time. In only
two days I noticed she was much
better and now she is entirely re-
lieved Of her ailments. She is gain

was "a considerable drop from the
