championship. They had won every game
but one rolled, and being at home their
rooters counted on a double win which
would have strengthened their hold ON the
prize. The Nantes presented a strong
team and compelled the Clos to divide

WHY?

Why do you forget SO frequently?
Why do you speak words that you SO
often regret?
Why do you take up with new acquaint-
ances, forgetting old friends?
Why do you not use clear judgment in
stead of too often acting upon impulse?
Why do you persistently neglect your
health when it is your duty to take
special care of it?
Why are you so careless when a sudden
chill. headache. tired feeling and general
disgust with life come over you?
Why do you not remember that the best
physicians, scientists and the leading peo-
pie of the land all recommend pure whls-
key as the proper thing to take at such
times?
Why do u not recall the fact that
there is on one pure medicinal whiskey
known to the world, that 1t is exceedingly
popular, that it has been in use for twen-
ty years. n that it is Duffy's Pure Malt?
Why do you not denounce any druggist,
grocer or dealer who tries to offer you
some other or inferior whiskey, saying 1t
is just as good?
Why do you not always insist upon hav-
ing Just what you require, just what you
desire, and just what you know to be the
purest, the best and most efficient?
