WHO WROTE THIS VERSE?

In the August Woman's Home Companion is
printed an amusing poem which bears the ear
marks of old age. 1t authorship is in doubt.
The poem in part is as follows;
"a thin little fellow had such fat wife,
Fat wife, fat wife, God bless her
She looked like drum and he looked life fife,
And 1t took all his money to dress her,
God bless her!
10 dress her!
God bless her!
To dress her!
"She grew like target, he grew like sword,
sword, sword, God spare her!
She took all the bed and she took all the board,
And 1t took whole sofa to bear her,
God spare her!
To bear her!
God spare her!
To bear her!
"She spread like turtle, he shrank like pike,
A pike, pike, God save him
And nobody ever beheld the like.
For they had to wear glasses to shave him,
God save him!
10 shave him!
God save him
To shave him
"She fattened away till she burst one day,
Exploded, blew up. God take her!
And all the people that saw it say
She covered over an acre!
God take her!
An acre!
God take her
An acre!"
Can any of our readers enighten US as to
who wrote it?
Have you made enquiry at the lunatic asy-
lums Ed. Journal

CHILDREN We WORRY ABOUT

Close confinement in school during
the past winter, overstudy perhaps, an
attack of the grip or tonsilitis, some
one OF these things is doubtless respon-
sible for the condition of the child who
shows decline in health now.
What are the symptoms? Pallor and
Ianguor, tickle appetite, dark rings
under the eyes, bronchial colds. Very
often the best efforts OF the family
physician fail in such cases and the
condition of the child causes the most
intense anxiety. Cod-liver oil, so often
prescribed, generally fails because the
weak stomach is unable to digest fats.
Try this treatment Before break
fast each morning give the child the
juice of half an orange. After the noon
meal give one of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills. Keep this up for few days and
then give one of the pills after the
evening meal also. Weigh the child
before beginning the treatment and
again after two weeks. An increase in
weight of from two to five pounds will
show you that you are on the right
track at last. Care is necessary in the
diet of the patient and it will be we'll

Co., Schenectady, N. Y, for diet

And let it oft be whispered there
While DER the waves roam.

Well found in stores of truth and love,

And all the little craft afloat
In homes delightful bay,
When they arrive at sailing age
May wisdom give the weather gage
And guide them on their way.
