gross libel upon the grasshopper Inc
grasshopper is far from being improv-

TO the accepted fable, the ant often lives
on the grasshopper and steals from
the grasshopper's reservoirs of herba-

of his sharp drill, which bores into
reeds very much as engineers make

SCIENCE MAKING LIFE EASY.

The small things in life are usually
the most important-for example. a
cake of poor soap may not only spoil
the weeks wash, and the temper Of
the housekeeper, but ruin valuable
fabrics
FOR twenty-five years we have spent
a large sum of money educating peO-
pl. as to the soap situation. and 1t
has paid US so far. We will continue
the good ealth campaign and invite
you most cordially to give Hewitt's
Easy Task Soap a trial. giving you the
opportunity to do so on the most lib
eraI basis we can offer. Buy two
cakes from your grocer for ten cents,
and the first does not please YOU
return the other and get your money
back. Is this good enough?
