ODE TO MAINE CAMPUS.
Tune-The Little Old Red Shawl


IT'S twilight on the campus and the birds
have gone to rest.
While the fading sun is sitting through
the trees.
Kind Nature in its beauty wears the color
of Your breast;
TIL approaching night draws near, the
earth seems blest.
Then muse we long in reverie, and search
the darkening sky,
For some faint trace of the awakening
stars,
When Venus from her lofty height our
hearts enraptured spies
And calls the kind assistance of old
Mars.
But not alone do "Stela" cast on us
their shining CLOVIS.
For soon the moon arises from the deep
And radiantly on every side is hallowed
splendor throws
To add enchantment to this nightly
sleep.
But 10, the night has closed around, the
world lies calm beneath.
And tells us in a whisper to be still
For peace on earth by Nature sent,
blessing 10 bequeath,
VIII add a dear contest to those who

 Dr. R. J. Hamlen, of Detroit, Mich, says I prescribe your Gas toria extensively as I have never found anything to equal it for chil- drep's troubles. am aware that there are limitations in the field, but I always see that my patients get F1etcher's.
 Dr. Charming Fl. Cook, of Saint Louis, Mo-, saJs: "I have used your Castor.a for several years past in my own family and have always found it thoroughly efficient and never objected to by children, which is a great consideration in view of the fact that most medi- cines of this character are obnox- ious and therefore difficult of ad- ministration.

I have Used it with marked benefit in the case of my own daughter, and have obtained excellent resuI 8 from it's administration to oth r children in nay practice
 Dr. J. R. Clausen, of Philadel- phia, Pa., says The name that your Castoria has made for itself in the tens of thousands of homes blessed by the presence of children, scarcely needs to be supplemented by the endorsement of the medical profession, but I, for one, most heartily endorse it and believe it an excellent remedy"
Norwich bulletin., 1911-10-06

Dr. l.. O. Morgan, of So. Amboy, N.

 Dr. Wm. L. Bosserman, of Buff falo, N. Y, says: II am pleased to speak good word for your Casto- ria. I think so highly of 1t that not only recommend 1t to others, but have used it in my own family"
 Dr. r. H. Kyle, of St. Paul. Minn., says: 'f It affords me plea sure to add my name to the long list of those who have used and now endorse your Castoria. The fact of the ingredients being known through the printing or the formula on the wrapper is one good and sufficient reason for the recom- mendation of any physician. l know of it's good qualities and re- commend it cheerfully."

 Dr. R. NJ. Ward, of Kansas City, Mo, says Physicians generally do not prescribe proprietary prepa- rations, but in the case of Castoria my experience, like that of many other physicians, has taught me to make an exception. I prescribe your Castoria in my practice be- cause have found it to be thor oughly reliable remedy for chil- dren's complaints. Any physician who has raised a family, as I have, will join me in heartiest recom- mendation of Castoria.n
