THE BABY.
A seraph at home with chubby fists;
Round little arms and plump little
e wrists,
“That chuckles or cries the live long
day,
A seraph at home, you say.
A seraph at home with a dimpled chin,
A fat little neck and a velvet skin
That fills your heart and makes you
pray;
A seraph at home, you say.
A seraph at home with baby feet,
A graceful body good enough to eat,
That keeps you guessing from day to
day,
A seraph at home, you say.
A seraph at home with bright little
eyes
Who sometimes laughs and sometimes
cries,
That keeps you happy and blythe all
day,
A seraph at home, you say.

Avoid Calamity
THE time to act in the matter
of preventin a calamity, is be
fore that calamity has a chance
to happen; and the way to prevent
it, is to surround yourself with
every safeguard to destroy the
possibility of its happening.
Just because your teeth don't
ache is no assurance that they are
absolutely sound. Nature does not al
ways warn until the situation hes
become acute.
To be certain, you should come
here for an examination twice & year.
By doing eo you will head off’ every
possibilty of tooth trouble later on.
