After the Grip-Wha,1

You thought you had the best OF the grip
and you determined to wear It of; but
somehow II does not wear of as you ex-
pecied. You pass restless, sleepless nights
and get NJ In the morning feeling more ex
hausted than when you retired. You are
irritable and nervous and have no appetite
for your food. You go about In listless,
half-hearted sort of way, and everything
you undertake to do seems to go wrong.
Do you know that you are on the verge of
nervous prostration? You need help; and
you need it more now than you did when
the grip was at its worst.
DIR. Miles Nervine Is the best medicine
you can get to build up your shattered
nerves and restore your wasting strength.

the overstrung nerves their natural rest 1t
makes the appetite keen, facilitates the d.
eestiOn, gives healthful vitality to the
nerves and restores health.

A man strolled into a fashionable
church before the service began. The
sexton followed him up, and tapping
him on the shoulder and pointing to a
small cur that had followed him into
the sacred edifice, said:
dogs are not admitted"
THAT is not my dog" replied the
visitor.
"But he follows you"
"Well, so do you"

Are the Boys All In?

When the twilight shadows gather
Up and down the dusky street,
And the city's noise of traffic,
With the tramp of passing feet,
Slowly dies to just murmur
or its former clang and din,
Memory hears my mother asking.
"Are the boys all inY"
When the lights begin to glimmer
Like q thousand pair of eyes,
Searching out the ways Of darkness
OF the worm that never dies;
And almost on every corner
Are its agencies of sin,
Oft I think / hear her asking,
Are the boys all inS"
Far from home and all its pleasures
My tired feet have sadly strayed;
Graves Of love, and graves Of plenty,
Sexton Times has grlmly made;
But the tender tones of mother
Oft my recollection win,
AS I hear her softly asking,
Are the boys all inp"
Long ago, God found in Heaven
Need for yet brighter star,
And across the sea of ether
Called my mother from afar;
But her light for me is shining
Still across the ways of sin;
Some day shall hear her asking,
"Are the boys all inY"-Ex.
