The tan on their faces is darl cr and makes them look healthier, but it is only a n.ask. They are still nervous, easily tired, upset by trifles, and they do not eat nor sleep well. Whet they need is what tones the nenes, perfects digestion, creates ap petite, and makes sleep refreshing, and that is Hood's Saisaparilla. Pupils and teachers generally will find the chief purpose of the vacation best subserved by this great medicine which, as we know, "builds up the whole system.''
