prepared by the Ladies' Aid Society

ful manner of which he seems master,

The Error of the Times.
Among the educated classes
the tendency of the day is to
make far too much of the chil
dren. One ol the most objection-
tble sights is to see well trained,
well-manuered little men and
women of the world who are
treated by their elders as if they
were not only equals but super
iors.

bottles of Foley's Kidney Reme
