What (hock to your pride, and self-conceit. Perhaps you did not realize that you are growing old and slowing down! ' v Nature intended that men and women, should, be in their prime at fifty, but' the nervous strain jof mod ern life, the overwork, worry, and fear of the future lower the vitality, undermine the' health and make us old before our time. But age is not a matter of years. There is no necessity for premature age. The body normally renews it self every few years. The only dif ference between youth and age is that in youth there is an abundance of cell-salts in the blood, and it is vitalized with life-giving oxygen. The abundant cell-salt solution builds new cells and destroys worn out cells rapidly. The oxygen vital izes and electrifies the blood. Youtu is rich. The hot red blood urges to activity and pulses rapidly through the arteries, making the whole body glow with warmth, yigor and vitality- t .. v,'' The impoortan'ce of supplying these cell-salts to the blood has only reecently been understood and ap preciated. REOLO combines these cell-salts so perfectly that they are easily assimilated by the blood. ' REOLO supplies to the blood the vitalizing oxygen, the reconstruc tive cell-salts and the invigorating organic iron that nature must have to make rich red blood. It builds new cells, destroys and eliminates useless, worn-out cells, strengthens the walls of the arteries, veins and capillaries, quickens the circulation of the blood and sends through the entire body a stream of rich - red blood, which gives strength,-energy and endurance. .-. Start the REOLO treatment to day and -you will be delighted with the steady, " gratifying improvement in your health. .'The large ' package of one hundred tasteless,'- pleasant tableta only costs one dollar, and it is guaranteed to give satisfactory re sults or your money will be re turned immediately.

"Lovers' Loft" and Pastor's Study Aid To Cupid In His Work Chicago, March 6. A "lovers loft" has been added to the Im manuel Baptist church in this city. The pastor of the church, Dr. John ston Myers, acted on a suggestion recently made by the Rev. John Thompson that all churches should be equipped with "cozy corners" for the accommodation of the young people of the. community. All the conventional comforts "of home are guaranteed to the hostage of Cupid who cannot Jind refuge in other quarters. A library, a piano, floor lamps, sta tionery, writing desks and other "non-essentials in little Daiuiy's lexicon of success are there, together with such absolute requisites as downy davenports, a myriad of sofa pillows and adjustments on the lights that permit of a graduated shading of illumination. There are no chaperones or traffic cops to pre vent crowding. And the little church mouse will never squeal. The "lovers' loft" is open to the matrimonially ambitious swains of the community all day and every night of the week. In real desperate cases the janitor; has been advised not to invoke the closing law. There is a beaten path of soft car pets leading from the "social rooms" to the pastor's study, where, for a nominal fee. the "sunshine in your souls" and "joybells in your hearts" may be perpetuated by a few appro priate remarks from Dr. Myers.
