Jimmy is one of the most enthusias-
tic members of his Sunday school. He
is usually very quiet, but when, soon
after he joined, a storm prevented
many members of his class from com-
ing to take their parts in a long planned
entertainment Jimmy could not endure
in silence the distress of his teacher.
“Hl can speak a piece," he said bash-
fully.
"Oh, can you? What is it about?"
“ ’Bout the beasts that went with
Noah."
“Well,” said the distracted teacher,
I “I haven’t time to hear it now, but I
think it ought to help fill up. Thank
; you, Jimmy.”
When Jimmy's name was called the
small man mounted the platform, put
his hands in his pockets and proudly
and loudly spouted the following:

OLDER BUT STRONGER
To be healthy at seventy, prepare at
forty, is sound advice, because in the
strength of middle life we too often forget
that neglected colds, or careless treat-
ment of slight aches and pains, simply
undermine strength and bring chronic
weakness for later years.
To lie stronger when older, keep your
blood pure and rich and active with the
strength-building and blood-nou rishing
properties of Scott's Emulsion which is a
food, a tonic and a medicine to keep your
blood rich, alleviate rheumatism and
avoid sickness. No alcohol in Scott's.
