When nothing hin progress ham,

While Mine other fellow ntarn.
Ot i,n't the victory after all,
Hut the light that a brother makes; -
The man who, ilriven against the wall,
(Stand* up erect ami token
The blown of fate with hin heail held

Bleeding. and brained, and pale.
In the mnn who'll win in the by and by,
For he isn't afraid to fall.
It's the buinpn you get, and the jolts

And the shock, that your eonrnge

The hours of sorrow and vain regret,
The prise tlmt escapes your hnmln,
That lest your mettle amt prove your

It isn't the blows you deal,
Hut the blown y^u take on the good old

That shown if your sliitT in real.

GOOD BLOOD NEEDED
IN SPRiNGTIME.
People With Poor Appetite,
Bad Complexions and
“Spring Fever” Need
A Good Tonic. .
GUDE'S PEPTO-MANGAN IS BEST.
Makes Rich Red Blood—Renews Vitality
And Increases Body's Resist
ance to Disease.
Spring is the time when good blood
is so vital to health. If you do not
feel the thrill of Spring in your blood,
if you take no pleasure in living, if
your appetite is poor, your complexion
pallid or muddy, and you tire easily, you
can bo pretty sure your blood is not
up to the mark. So many feel that
way in the spring. Especially house
wives who have so much work to do.
They get over-tired and run-down—their
blixxl becomes weak and thin.
Build up your health now by taking
tlmt splendid spring blood tonic, Gude’s
Pcpto-Mnngnu. It will give vital pdwor
to the rod corpuscles in your blood. They
will go racing through your blood, carry
ing fresh supplies of oxygen to all the
tiny cells. It will help improve your
color and yuur appetite. You'll take
more interest in things and enjoy life
more. You will stop going around with
that tired, all-gone feeling.
Physicians have proscribed Guile's
Pepto-Mnngan for thirty years. ' You
can get it at your druggist's in either
tablet or liquid form. Take whichever
.vou prefer. They have the same-medi
cinal value. Get the geuuiue.
