domestic establishment he doesn‘t cou-

A debt is never outlawed in ommi. if
you owe n thing you owe it till `it's paid.
If you don't pay lt, your heirs and your
assigns nnd your whole relationship owe
it until it is paid. Custom is stronger
than law in China, for, though the law
may excuse or nullify a debt, the integrity
of Chinese commercial custom depends
upon the perpetual lite of an obligation. I

“Fruit-a-tives” are the parts
of the fruit that do you good.
Apples, Oranges, Figs and
Prunes are pressed-the juices
separated from the tough,
woody iibrtwand concentra-
ted. Then-(and this is the
secret of “Fruit-a-tives”)--
one more atom of bitter prin-
ciple from the orange peels is
forced into the concentrated.
fruit juices." By this process
-one of the most remarkable
achievements of the agtwthe
juices are made stronger, and
many times more active medi-
cinally. Finest tonics and
internal antiseptics are added,
and the whole evaporated and
pressed into tablets. “Fruit-
a-tives" are the greatest tonic,
laxative and blood purifying
medicine ever discovered.
