In Memorism.

Put away the knickertockers
That our Whitelaw was to wear;
he will need them on earth never,
Edward now his crown doth
wear,
Whitelaw missed the coronation
And 1t filed his soul with woe
That his padded underpinning
SALE had nary chance 10 show.
iot away the cut short breeches
Whitelaw hoped TO wear when Ed
Placed the jewelled crown of Brit
ain
On his somewhat fevered head.
Wuitelaw banked on wearing
knickies,
And his tin sword was his pride;
But alss! when Ed was crowned
Reid was on the other side.
Put away the little panties,
Sow the ,mothballs DER them
thick;
For the sight Is calculated
To make Anglo maniacs sick.
Bathe poor Whitelaw's head In
camphor;
All his hopes have gone to wreck
For when Ed was coronated
Whitelaw couldn't rubberneck.

Indigestion is often caused by over

the harm done thus exceeds that from
the excessive use Of alcohol. Eat. all
the good food you want but don't over
load the stomach. A weak stomach
may refuse to digest what you eat.
Then you need q good digestant like
Kodol, which digests your food with.
out the stomach's aid. This rest and
the wholesome tonics Kodol contains
soon restore health. Dieting unneces-

which some people suffer after meals.
