there was a good deal of religious
at that time. So he
gave his horse the rein, and
made the best of it.
Presenly ho was confronted by
a signboard, nailed to a pine tree

The sign read:
“Turn, sinner, Turn!”
The drummer followed its ad¬
vice and turned on the road near
est the sign.
‘Aon are on your way to Hell” !
That was rough, but like many
another man, he kept on. Yet one
more signboard faced him :
“Sinner, , lost Forever?”

For twenty-five years doc¬

Emulsion for paleness, weak

for all diseases that cause

Its creamy color and its
pleasant taste make it es¬

delicate children.
No other preparation of cod
