A SAMPLE OF PURE GRIT.

Everyone admires grit. But When
you find it in your underwear, the
chances are that your washwoman has
used laundry soap that has been dosed
with rosin: Rosin is not a soap ele-
ment-it merely adds weight. During
the soaking it sinks into the fibre OF
the washables and acts as binder for
the particles of dirt which ought to be
and are removed when Hewitts Easy
Task soap is used.
Just try Hewitt's Easy Task-made
of soap elements only and costs no
more than the adulterated kinds. Five
cents.

The Flubdub Bird.

The fubdub bird is a creature strange,
With a note that is heard afar.
It's song Is subject to frequent change
And varied it's accents are.
The mockingbird with the parrot
blends,
And other strains were stirred
In the evolution through which de-
scends
That marvel the flubdub bird.
It's lay is shifted to please the throng
In the moods that swiftly pass
Sometimes with note that is loud
and strong
1t appeals to the martial class
And many heart is beating high
And bold is many word.
We think we are called by the Eagles
cry
When it's only the flubdub bird.
Then it wings it's way to some other
land
Where the popular mood is mild,
And its note is as soft and sweet and
bland
AS the laugh of a little child.
1t seems that the cooling will never
cease
That near and far is heard.
We think we list to the Dove of Peace
But it's only the fiubdub bird.
