troubled with my stomach.

doctors and they told me I
had dyspepsia, but I was sure
It was not that which ailed
mc. At last I found out it was
catarrh of the stomach., and
they told me I could not be
cured. It got so bad at last
that my stomach had ulcers,
and I suffered something aw-
ful. Being a commercial trav-

and I noticed, when away
from home and staying at ho-

did not hurt me as ft always

rhe Early rraining.
Success m after life depends largely upon the training
received 'ween young.
feu boy or girl should enter business life ir. these days of keen
cumpetd,un without proper preparation.
The mond should be trained to grasp and understand com-
mercial matters quickly, and every young man and woman should
receive a thorough, prastical training before entering any business
house.
The Forest Oity Business and Shorthand College trains over
two hundred and fifty young men and women every year, and still
the business world is demanding more.

of heating ills Iron just right for nee he
heats It scorcbing bot; then he plunges
It into cold water for an Instant, which
cools the surface sufficiently to allow
him to make several effective passes,
the beat meantime gradually returning
to the surface. If necessary he repsets
this two or three times rill the Iron is
of the right temperature to ply Its so
