Stimulant
or Tonic?
Ayer’s Sarsaparilla is not a
stimulant. It does not make
you feel better one day, then
as bad as ever the next.
There is not a drop of alco
hol in it. Ayer’s Sarsapa
rilla is a tonic. You have the
steady, even gain that comes
from such a medicine. Ask
your doctor all about this.
Trust him fully, and always
do as he says. He knows.
Who make* the best liver pills? The
J. C. Ayer Company, of Lowell, Mas*.
They have been making Ayer’s Pill* for
over sixty years. If you have the slight
est doubt about using these pills, ask
your doctor. Ask him first, that’s best.

A TRIBUTE TO A PURE LIFE
Thirty years ago a shy awk
ward country girl of IL> year.- en
tered school in a small town, a
stranger among a bevy of at
tractive girls, near Iter own r.ge.
The unattractive c«, intry girl
was very uncoinforta.bl *, felt
much out of place, until a fair
haired, beautiful girl frot.: amo g
the others saw the sitnat’on anJ
sweetly made herself agreeable.
Her winning manner, her lovely
dower-like face and the grasp of
her friendly hand, helped to over
come the shyness. The awkward
girl forgot herself in admiration
of the sweet face and gentle char
acter of the newly found friend.
An act of kindness is, we believe,
recorded in the Book of Life. This
act was imprinted indelibly on
the memory, the beautiful face
was never forgotten, and the name
of Julia Thurman has always been
associated, in the mind of “the
country girl,” with all that was
pure and lovely of character. The
woman of today, who was the
awkward girl of thirty years ago,
writes this byway of appreciation
of the kind act and the pure life
of the girl who grew into an ex
ceptionly sweet womanhood.
Such a girl could not be else.
' When recently' the news came
that the subject of this sketch was
free, after months of suffering,
memory went back to that sum

again the sweetness of the friend

thought how glad she was to have

Scientists have recently secured an
accurate measurement of the temper
ature of boiling lava in a crater. The
experiment was a very dangerous one,
and it was considered a triumph of
precaution no lives were sacrificed in
making the test.
The r:\ter of Killauea in Hawull
was reacted for examination. The
work progressed very slowly. For a
long time it was Impossible to obtain
results, but after several thermome
ters had been destroyed a pyrometer
was substituted to advantage. The
temperature recorded was 1,010 de

as 1,850 degrees Fahrenheit, iron is
