Tikun is a man in Bestland who used to wilts many readable and instructive thinge. He signed himself "A Country Farson," and a bright parson he is. One of his essays is entitled, "Things Blowly Learn. ed," a good line of thought for anybody.
Well here is one of the things slowly learned--that disease doesn't jump on a man like a wild eat of a tree, but develops from seeds and conditions, just roses and woods do. We who write, and print the
