Often we go to great lengths
to procure new and intricate

periods with a large dry-goods
box into which was put all
sorts of clothing, the more gro
tesque the more popular with
the children.
There was Daddy's old full
dress suit, which really wasn't
good enough to give to anyone.
Old Shawls, long trailing skirts,
evening dresses Of q long-for-
gotten year, a velvet cape, and
hats-hats of all descriptions,
along with odds and ends Of
feathers, ribbons and old
buckles.
And what afternoons Of fun
came out Of that drygoods box!
Three or four youngsters played
many many times, dressing up,
and re-dressing, dumping about
in old boots and queer hats.

Charged with
Laziness-
Guilty Simply of Acidity!

More than one man today is mis-
judged and unjustly penalized be-
cause of a not understood physical
condition rather than any lack of
willingness or ability.
So many Of us are only half our.
selves, only so per cent efficient, be-
cause We are victims of an insidious
condition of acidity! That persist
ent tired feeling-that clouded mind
that lack Of dash and fire-that
missing punch that decides so many

Acidity is brought on by our I'M

It was in wild disorder. TWO
chairs were overturned. Pic

On the table, papers were
scattered. The inkStand top

ink trickled over the polished
walnut.
From the confusion, Bryce
reached over and picked out a
photograph. He set it care
fully on the top of the filing
cabinet, first wiping off a
smudge of black.
It was a picture Of young

of uneasy apprehension.

answered.

Guy struck the specifications

flinging down the street ana
again that uneasy apprehension
possessed him.

world was responsible because

Slowly he started the car. Was
there more than mere rant IN

He shook off the oppressive
