When your vitality Is low you need
"toning up." Why not "tuning up?"
Same thins. We are all pianos, just
a mass of sounding boards, keys and j

If she Is out of tune. If she is cross ;
you will say she got out of bed with
the wrong foot foremost. Not a hit of

her night's rest out of tune, or tone.

medical man was sent for, a strauxer, .
but of high repute.
liefore he could respond, tlm family '
physician turned up and cared for
his patient. He was not told that

self that she sent down word she was-,
