The danger of being run-down by a borne is a verv real one ta everybody, the danger of being mur dtrea by a microbe does not trouble us. And yet the minute mi crobe is more dangerous than the wildest horse. The only people who caa afford not to fear the mi crobes of disease are those who keep their blood pure and rich. These are prac tically immune from the attacks of most microbes. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov ery purifies and enriches the blood, and gives the body a vigorous vitality. It cures scrofula, eczema, boils, pimples and other eruptive diseases which are caused by impure blood.

Spasmodic EoBuJiBy.' s T 1. - 1 opeciai uoTreuponuenee Nearlv eer?ooe believes bim- te!f to y economical. Eyen the most ruthlesa spend-thrift can really be persuade to admit his fau.li To excuse one's own errors and misdeeds is as natural as is the inhailins of the air that tills one's nostrils; yet it is well, some tirnea, to take a moral inventory and see just how one stands on certain questions It would be amusing, were it not so much of a detriment to the indi tidual. to note the queer procedure of .gome people with whom one conies in contact. Take ' some for examfie of the middle class, the honest, hard-working citizens who are the batjk-bone of the grearcoui mora wealUi Many "a house-wife economizes in Btne lines with all the honesty of her nature, only to waste twice the tfmouritin some other way. For "instance: she wears her old shoes again this win ter because she can't afford a new pair for Sunday; she turns her old black dress and mends he half worn gloves; then she goes to town and gets a hat that is two or three times too fine to match the baiande of her outfit. That is spasmodic economy in one form. Again: another home-maker "skimps" and saves and works and worries over the problem of dress ing the children well on the amount of money to be had for that purpose. By rare good man agement the clothes question is settled and a dollar or two left over. Tommy and Jimmy tease mother for taffy and lemonade at the picnic, and mother gives in and the surplus cash disappears inside Tommy's and Jimmy's small vests. The twins have a bad time of it, the next day, but mother doctors them up. and then wishes she had her money back. There is spas modic economy in another form. Again; you, often see specimen of manhood who insist on having big wages or doing no work. He jnay he honest in his ideas, but he de -pises the ten-cent pieces that mak the dollars. In other worda, he works when there is $2.50 or $3.00 a day in it. and when the wages drcp, ao docs he. Tbetn he proceeds to eat up and wear out the small amount earned and loaf again, like Micawber, for "something to turn up. I uat is spasmomc economy with a vengeance. The steady, even place is the sort of srtide that carries one swiftly and surely past the mile-posts on tb road to suc- cess. Keasou it ut ana ao not waste with the left hand what you save with the right. Christmas Kxerciaea. Quit a large congregation as sembled in the M.
