It.

To reach a green old age and enjoy good health It can only be obtained by the care of the system. is from the little irregularities of the system that the common ailments arise, and nature gives many indications of the approach of these complaints which, if treated at once, may be warded off. Growing old ought not to mean growing weak and feeble. does not mean weakness or feebleness for those who eat with a good appetite and sound digestion. It is of "the utmost importance that old people should retain the power to digest and assimilate food, which is the sole source of physical strength. When age brings feebleness, it is generally because of the failure to assimilate the nutrition contained in food. To those in declining years who find that Nature responds less readily to the demands made upon her, and who need a mild yet. searching remedy to keep their system in proper working order, there is nothing like Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills.

I think your voice would sound nice if you were singing," she said. "I like to hear your speak."

They had now arrived at the house in Daltou Place, and The Fading let himself in with a latch-key, his new friend following closely behind him. .

Edison Whing said nothing.

Brownie's

During the next week or so The Indian was as good as his word, and nade all possible inquiries. But they were fruitless. And Brownie obstinately refused to answor any questions, saying that ska had run away, and didn't want to go back, and wouldn't go back.

"Bless your heart, dearie-no. How could your little fingers mend stockings? You play pretty on the pianny, and that'll please em more than anything."

So Brownie practised diligently, and her guardians declared with more or less truth that their accompaniments had never been so carefully played before.
