IF SKIN BREAKS
Just the moment you apply
Mentho-Sulphur to an itching,
burning or broken out skin, the
itching stops and the healing be
gins, says a noted skin specialist.
This sulphur preparation, made
into a pleasant cold cream, gives
such a quick relief, even to fiery
eczema, that nothing has ever
been found to take its place.
Because of its germ destroying
properties, it quickly subdues the
itching, cools the irritation and
heals the eczema right up, leav
ing a clear, smooth skin in place
of ugly eruptions, rash, pimples
or roughness.
You do not have to wpit for
improvement. It quickly shows.
You can get,a little jar of Rowles
Mentho-Sulphur at tmy drug
store.—(adv).
A BALLADE OF HOLIDAYS
Festivals, spiritful, gay
(Some of them pagan, I fear!)
Holidays, when one should pray;
Natal days, sacred and dear.
These gem the zone of our year,
Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall;
Christmas — and Christmas is
near—
Christmas is best of them all!
Never is seen New Year's Day
Aught that is hipped or austere;
Martyr and Patriot they
Bring days we proudly revere
Many a glistening tear
Greets the Memorial call;
Great is the Fourth, but ’tis dear
Christmas is best of them all.
i
Labor an inning at play
Takes ere the meadows grow sere:
Soon the Discovered may
Hear us command his career,
Then we give thanks for our gear,
Harvest, and freedom from thrall!
Splendid! But still 'twould appear
Christmas is best of them all!
Christmas is fullest of cheer,
Cheer for theqgreat and the small;
Christmas—and Christmas is here!
Christmas is best of them all!
—Edward Barnard.
THOUGHTLESS.
Effie: Why hasn’t Daddy much
hair?
Mother: Because he thinks a lot,
darling.
Effie (pause): But why have
you got such a lot, Mummie?
