A LESSON IN VALUES.

lTN oLLAR for dollar, pound for pound, there is
FISH more IN Ivory Soap than in any household
kIsSz soap. 1t is easy to find cheap soap; but
- to find purity and low price in single soap
is not easy. They combine in Ivory Soap. You
can afford to use it in the laundry; you can not
afford not to use it elsewhere. 1t is vegetable-oa
soap, in the cheapest form in which it can be pro-
cured. You pay nothing for a fancy box, wrapper
or perfume. 1t is all in the soap! It floats.

About the Moon.

\ subscriber asks us to explain
thru the MESSAGE what is the
dark Of the moon
After research we conclude that
the period from new to full moon,
or waxing moon, is the so-called
light, y while from full to new
moon, or the waning, is called the
dark of the moon. Ancient
superstition, which should be con-
sidered, in a measure, science, as
cribes to the moon certain effects
upon vegetation. Experiments,
however, have had no certain re-
suits and this effect has never been
satisfactorily proved or disapprov-
ed.
The following, described in the
Vishnu-Purana, an ancient vol
umc, was taken from the Interna-
tional Cyclopedia: "The moon,
with its cooling rays, nourishes
the gods in the light fortnight
(or the II days of the moons in
crease, the names in the dark"
fortnight (when in the wane)
nourishes vegetables with the cool
aqueous atoms it sheds upon them,
and thru their development it
sustains men and animals"

1t is said that the castor bean
plant will drive away mosquitoes
from the house. Writers suggest
that it be planted near the house
or that the leaves be carried into
the house and left. They are OBJ
noxious to the insects and if they
light on them during the day are
poisoned. AS the plant is quite
ornamental and a thrifty grower
they could be planted in lawns and
will serve double purpose. The
experiment is worth trying.

I'm a stamp
n postage stamp
\ two.center;
Don't want to brag,
But | was never
Licked,
Except once,
BY gentleman, too;
He put me on
To Il good thing;
1t was an envelope
Perfumed, pink, square;
I've been stuck on
That envelope
Ever since.
He dropped us
The envelope and'me-
Thru "A slot in a dark box;
But We were rescued
BY a mail clerk,
More the pity;
He hit me an awful
Smash with a hammer,
1t left my face
Black aud blue;
Then ! went on
a long journey
OF two days;
And when we arrived
The pink envelope and me
We were presented
To IA perfect love
OF girl,
With the stunningest pair
OF blue eyes
That ever blinked.
Say, she's dream!
Well, she mutilated
The pink envelope
And tore one corner
OF me off
With Il hairpin;
Then she read what
Was inside
The pink envelope,
And | never saw II girl bluS
SO beautifully!
| would be stuck
On her-if | could,
Well, she placed
The writing back
In the pink envelope;
Then she kissed me.
Oh, ye little godletS!
Her lips were ripe
AS cherries,
And warm
AS the summer sun.
We
The pink envelope and me
Are now snugly
In her bosom;
We can hear
Her heart throb;
When it goes fastest
She takes us out
And kisses me.
