Good Health
The Alley Dog.
An alley dog'they called him, a
iramp and worse things still. Stones
they flung at hint. On their porches In
the evening they abused him and plot
ted against his life. And all because
he was ownerless and unkempt In his
tawny shagginess. But, with all their
atone throwing and brandishing of
•ticks, ho ambled good-naturedly along
•nd sought the company of the chil
dren, who knew not his reputation
among righteous citizens and loved
him in spite of his dirty coat. He
played with them until unappreciative
grownups chased him away.
And then one day his whole life
changed. With a group *of his child
mates he went to the nearby river, lie
watched them prepare for a swim. Sud
denly he noticed that one was strug
gling hard. He leaped Into the river.
What happened after that he no longer
kncpvs. He knows only that the little
boy was saved and that he ts now a
respected member of the little boy’s
family.

blood is rich with red corpuscles your col
or is better—your lips are red, eyes wide
open and bright; vour good feeling shows
in your actions.
Common sense will tell you that if
weak, thin blood makes you look lifeless,
it lowers your vitality. If your vitality
is low you have little power to resist dis
ease germs. Men, women and child
with rich, red blood are able to fight off
the germs which bring severe illness.
When you feel run down and weak,
with no appitite and no ambition, take
Pepto-Mangan for awhile. It is a great
blood building tonic. You should begin
to feel better within a few days.
Pepto-Mangan is put up in both liquid
and tablet form- Take either kind
