SOLDIERS GOT RELIEF
FROM SORENESS
Boys on the Border Relieved Their
Pains and Aches with
Sloan's Liniment.

Once upon a time Norman Jones,
serving in the National Guard at
Ell Paso, returned to camp after
strenuous Is mile hike foot-sore and leg
weary. He had not been long in active
service and his shoulders, back and
limbs felt the after-efects of marching.
Remembering SJoan's Liniment,
Jones applied it to the sore spots and
went to bed. He writes !" I arose the
next morning feeling fine; in fact I
had entirely forgotten about the hike
and went out for four-hour drill in
the sun as spry as ever"
Private Jones passed the experience
along, and many a boy on the border
relieved the agony of sprains, strains,
bruises, insect bites, cramped muscles,
rheumatic twinges, etc., by the use Of
Sloan's Liniment.
Easily applied without rubbing. At

HOUSEHOLD SINS

How many little girlies
Who read the "Children s Pageo
Can tell what've been the household
sins
Of every land and age?
The worst, of course, is wasting food
That's good and clean and sweet.
hope you' learn to make of scraps
Just dandy things to eat.
The second sin is laziness.
Oh! early out of bed
Gives health and wealth and wisdom,
With a lovely turn ahead.
The third is dirty corners
That gather mould and rust;
You III keep the ice box sweet and clean,
And other things, I trust.
Another sin is not to darn
The tiny holes or rents;
" A stitch in time saves nine,'' you
know,
And dollars, dimes and cents.''
Inhospitality s a sin,
And those who will not share
Their bed and board, may turn away
The CANCEL unaware.
