- A SPRIG OF HOLLY:
There’s a little sprig of holly in my
soul,
‘Which has grown as the annual cy
cles roll;
It began with Santa Claus and has
never had a pause;
Just a little sprig of holly in my soul.
There’s a little sprig of holly in my
soul;
The little blood-drop berries have con
trol; |
Tokens of my bleeding Lord, who doth
now this gift afford—
The little sprig of holly in my sul.
There’s, a little sprig of holly in my
soul,
And the little thorn leaves make up
the whole; 3
They pierced His bleeding head while
He languished in my stead,
And brought the little sprig of holly
to my soul.

driven an automobile, but running a
Ford looked like a snap to him. He
tried it on somebody else’s Ford and
found to his chagrin and discomfort
that more care shculd be exercis
ed in operating a Ford than in shov
ing a wheel barrow. The sum total
of it is that the Texas Oil company
has a badly damaged truck and Hodg

woman and child in America within
eight years.
“When Mildredina Hair Remedy is
used almost universally, dandruff will
disappear and with its departure bald
ness, itching scalp, splitting hair and
all scalp diseases will follow and twen
ty years from now a bald head will be
a rarity.” i
There is only one way to cure dan
druff, and that is to kill the germs.

will kill the germs and that is Mildred
ina Hair Remedy. This unusual hair
restorer with its record of thousands
of cures will grow hair on any head
where there is any lite left; it cures
dandruff, stops falling hair and itching
of the scalp in three weeks or money

orating tonic, is not sticky, or greasy
