OLD AGE A CRIME!

Some people are young at 6o-red
checked, rudy and vigorous. Others
are old at 48-joints beginning to stiff
en- up bit; step beginning to lag and
lose it's springiness; occasional touches
of pain in the back, feel tired without
cause, and possibly a twinge Of rheu-
matte pain.
In most cases these are the danger
signals to warn you that the kidneys
are not promptly doing their work of
throwing off the poisons that are al
ways forming in the body. To neglect
these natural warnings is a crime
against yourself. If you have these
symptoms you can find prompt relief
in GOLD MEDAL Harlem Oil Cap
sules. For more than 200 years this
has been the recognized remedy for
kidney and bladder ailments.
GOLD MEDAL HARLEM Oil Capsules
are imported direct from the laborator
les at HARLEM, Holland. Get them at
your druggists. Do not take a substi
tute. In boxes three sizes.

An Ode to the Old Mill
(Contributed)

(COntrlbuted)
You dear old mill by the shady brook,
Of noble mien and stately look,
How oft we've heard the clatter and
hum
AS you crushed the grain for those
who come
With wheat and corn to feed the hom
Feed for the stock, for man the bread,
By day and night your wheels have
sped.
To keep alive both man and beast,
That all might have a full round feast,
While birds have sung in tree tops
tall,
In happy thought to see grain fall,
To fill their crops with choice food,
And aries formed an angelic brood.
Happy to know from thy bounteous
store.
Gods creatures were fed till they
need no more.
But that fateful hour on a November
night,
Let go the flood, struck down thy
might.
And left you helpless, sad and lone,
Your power wrecked. your work all
done.
With the help of man you could re-
new
Your strength, good work could DO.
But hope was crushed in the heart of
man;
Destruction soon was made the plan;
Violent hands set to and tore,
Machinery out from floor to floor,
And last of all you too must go,
Saddest of all the wreck and wo,
For scattered wide your parts will be,
A wretched tale to all and me.
For when we pass this way again,
No more We'll hear the music strain,
Of grinders and. spindles' sweet re-
frain.
Twill be the cry of the birds sad
wall,
''The old mills gone. there's nc
avail"
For our good old friend we'll drop q
tear,
Your treasured memories we'll hold
dear.
Still on your virtues we would dwell.
But now we'll say, good friend, fare
we'll.
The Rosary of the Sea
Far down beneath the silvery waves,
In the realms of eternal night,
Ten thousand mermaids bow in pray'r r
Upon the sands of white.
Blind are their eyes from the tear
they have shed,
And their hearts. have broken wit
pain,
Yet till earth and sea give up thei
dead,
They will chant their sad refrain.
AS one by one they tell the beads
On the Rosary of the Sea,
Made of human hearts of the gallan
lads,
Who died for you and me.
Sydney Allen Scout.
