breath bad; has stomachache, sore
throat, diarrhoea, full of cold, give

foul, constipated waste, undigested
food and sour bile gently moves out
of its little bowels without griping,
and you haw- a well, playful child

You needn't coax sick ^children
to lake this harmless "fruit laxa-
tive"; they love its delicious taste,
and It always makes them feel splen

An Arab J^-geml.
The Arabs tell a story to *how
| how a mean man's philosophy over-
shoots Itself, Under the reign of
the first Caliph there was a mer-
chant of llagdad equally rich and
avaricious.
One day he bargalnel with a por-
ter to carry home with him a bas-
ket of porcelain vases for 10 paras.
A* they went along, he said to the
man:
"My friend, you are young and 1
am old You can still earn plenty.
Strike a para from your hire."
"Willingly," replied the porter.
•This request was repeated again and
again, until, when they reached the
house, the porter had only a sluglt
para to reelve.
As they went upstair* tl.
chant said, "If you will resign the
la*l para I pill give you three plee
es of advice,"
"He It so," *ald the porter.
"Well, then," said ttie merchant
"If any one tell* you II is better to
be tasting than feasting, do not be-
lieve him, If any one tells you It
Is belter to lie poor than rich, do
not believe him, If any one tells
you it I* better to walk than rid"
In your carriage, do not believe
him."
"My dor sir." replied the imton
lulled porter, "I knew these thing*
before. Hut if you will listen to me
I will give >mi citch advlew as you
never heard before," The merchant
turned a round, and the porter,
throwing the basket down the stair-
case, said:
"If any one I«•!' ■ you that one of
your vases is unhrok n, do not be
ileve him."
