ON The SPUR OF THE MOMENT
(By Roy K. Moulton.)
The Picnic Season.

oh joy, oh rapture, children dear,
The picnic season now is here.
So telephone and get the bunch
And pack the old dyspepsia lunch
Dill pickles, doughnuts, hard boiled
eggs,
Cold pork and beans and chicken
legs,
Potato salad, cottage cheese;
Let all the folks bring what they
please.
OF course, they surely will all bring
Again the same old sort of thing.
Get on an interurban car
And ride, it matters not how far.
And see if you can find a place
Where trespassers they do not chase.
Desert your hot and sultry flats,
Get out among the flies and gnats,
Mosquitoes, chiggers and the like,
The bugs that never go on strike.
Get all the rest that you can take
By pulling kids out of the lake
A mile away or some such thing.
And long before the hour of ten
Begin to long for home again.
Participate in family jars
And run four miles to catch the cars
At midnight's hour or thereabout,
Get home hot, cross and tired out.

No young woman, IN the joy Of
coming motherhood, should neglect
to prepare her system for the physi.
cal ordeal she is to undergo. The
health of both herself and the coming
child depends largely upon the care
she bestows upon herself during the
waiting months. Mothers Friend
prepares the expectant mothers sys-
tenn for the coming event, and its use
makes her comfortable during all the
term. It works with and for nature,
and by gradually expanding all It's
sues, muscles and tendons, involved,
and keeping the breasts in good con-
dition, brings the woman to the crisis
in splendid physical condition The
