Thanksgiving Thoughts
By Ralph Methvin Thompson
I’m thankful for each cloud of woe,
Which may have dimmed my human sky,
And darkened this old earth below
With griefs my frame could not defy;
For had the mocking rains not spurned
And drenched me in the gloom apart,
My eyes could never have discerned
The glory of a sun-lit heart.
I’m thankful for each storm of doubt,
Which may have swept about my head,
To put the faith in me to rout;
And rend the courage which I plead;
For had the tempests not essayed
To lash the spirit I control,
My lips could never have portrayed
The rainbow of a proven soul.
I’m thankful for each flood of hate,
Which may have raged within my breast,
To scourge me when disconsolate,
And toss my bosom in unrest;
For had the waters never S -.-r .*
So wildly from the slopes-above,- *"' 1
My mortal ark could not have knojyp s
The Ararat of perfect love.

MANIA! DON’T YOU
SEE YOUR CHILD IS
SICA, CONSTIPATED
Look at Tongue! Move
Poisons From Liver and
Bowels at Once.
Mother! your child isn't natur
ally cross and peevish. See if
tougue is coated; this is a sure
sign that its stomach, liver and
bowels need a cleansing at once.
When listless, pale, feverish,
full of cold, breath bad, throat
sore, doesn’t eat, sleep or act
naturally, has stomach-ache,
diarrhoea, remember, a gentle
liver and bowel cleansing should
always be the first treatment giv
en.
Nothing equals "California Sy
rup of Figs” for children’s ills;
give a teaspoonful, and in B few
hours all the foul waste, sour bile
and fermenting food which is
clogged in the bowels passes out
of the system, and you have a
well and playful child again.
All children love this harmless
delicous "fruit laxative,” and it
never fails to effect a good "in
side” cleansing. Directions for
babies, children of all ages and
grown-ups are plainly on the
bottle.
Keep it handy in your home.
A little given today saves a sick
child tomorrow, but get the gen
uine. Ask your druggist for a
50-cent bottle of "California Sy
rup of Figs,” then look and see
that it is made by the "California
Fig Syrup Cos.” adv
