Office, 1906 When the street cars go whizzing and siz- zing o’er the rail; When passengers are jouncing and bouncing ’til they’re pale, They can always find relief, or grief, ere they reach home By reading ’til they’re glad, or sad, each ad vertising “pome.” When going abroad From the city or town Eat our Safety Pins To keep your dinner down!

Jungle Ham is fine Just as fine as can be; In each can there is . An insurance polic-ee! The Scarlet Wedding Dress (Continued from preceding page) from the rail, his eyes aglow with excitement. “But if he swims like a catfish he won’t dodge that blue-pointed shark!” The fin cruised slowly in the shadow of the schooner until it seemed as though the monster’s attention had become diverted from the frantically swimming Jap. But only for an instant. Rounding the schoon er’s keel it made a slanting effort in Okahu’s direction and then stayed motionless watch ing the curious length of flame-colored silk that trailed from the swimmer’s arm. Okahu turned shaking the water from his matted hair and eyes. The long Pacific swell lifted him to its giant crest and then flung him leisurely clown its long green slope, the scarlet robe drawn after him in a welter of color and light. A score of palm dotted islets in the east sent back a low thunder of breaking surf. A swarm of sun birds chirped and cried overhead while Okahu turned his face to the gray shadow w ith the pointed jaws. Despite the mountainous swell the shark remained quite still in the trough of the sea, its eyes fixed on the curious color scheme trailing from wave to wave. Okahu viewed the long shovel snout w r ith evident disfavor. If he swam as fast as a hydroplane he could not reach thedsthumi’s gangway alive. And by a pitiless stroke of fate he had mislaid his knife! Slowly and with inimitable grdee he per mitted the flame-hued length of silk to float from his swinging arm until it spread like a blood-patch over the sunlit water. The watching shark side-swirled from the irruption of color as though confronted by a dazzling bait. Each wave flaunted the al luring streak of red nearer its eyes. But the huge jaws showed no inclination to re cede beyond striking distance of the plump live man with the swimming hands and feet. With amazing ease the gray-backed monster swept in a half circle about the robe of scar let, an inquisitive ferocity follow ing each dip of its blade-edge fins. Hayes watched the little scene until his throat grew dry. “ Reminds me of a (<Continued on page 18) Deal Gently With That Corn Don’t pare it. That’s but temporary. And a slip ot the blade often leads to infection. Don’t apply liquids. They often cause soreness. Apply a Blue-jay plaster, and the corn pain stops at once. Then a wonderful wax—the B & B wax—gently loosens the corn. In 48 hours the entire corn comes out. Not the slightest discom fort. One simply forgets the corn. This invention makes it folly to have corns. A million corns monthly are now being removed by it. Stop and think of that. Why suffer from corns— why pamper them — when 15 cents will end them. A In the picture Is the soft R4B wax. It loosens the com. B stops the pain and keeps the wax from spreading. C wraps around the toe. It is narrowed to be comfortable.
