Dangers Of 1t.

It isn't good
To eat too much
Upon Thanksgiving day.
It's nice to feed.
But 1t Is tough
To hear the doctor say:
"Your case Is not
A hopeless one.
In bed q week or two
II you will stay
And starve yourself,
! think We'll pull you through
The turkey may
Be very flne.
The dressing favored right
But think about
The awful dreams
When you lie down at night
Don't strive to load
Up with so much
That when you doze away
You'll dream about
Your sins and such
And spoil Thanksgiving day.
30 only eat
A bird or two,
A barrel full Of sauce.
Some dressing and
Such other things
AS you may run across,
And take a chance
On being sick
And having dreams run queer.
Because, you know,
Thanksgiving comes
Not over once a year.

Fairmont's business people so much
at this time. 1 want to say while no
