A SUMMER COLD

A cold in the summer time, as every
body knows is the hardest kind of
cold to get rid of. The best and quick
est way is to go to bed and stay there
If you can, with bottle of "Boschee's
Syrup" handy to insure good nights
rest, free from coughing, with easy ex-
pectoration in the morning.
But if you can't stay in bed you must
keep out of draughts, avoid sudden
changes, eat sparingly Of simple food
end take occasional doses of Boschees
Syrup, which you can buy at any store
where medicine is sold, safe and eff
cient remedy, made in America for more
than fifty years. Keep it handy.-Adv.
But the COW Is too modest to blow
her own horn.

HIS LETTER

Beyond the steel and the fire
Cleans the old desire.
War has not taken wonder away,
More poignant where it's lightnings play
The appeal of Beauty's lonely cry!
l shall go on dreaming till l die.
see wind-burnished coin-bright towns.
And roads that shine across the downs:
A dusk of forest and line
OF light that silvers the design;
Always the Swallowed and the bright,
A halo for the blacklist night!
Islands where l have never been:
The rainbow topping down the green
OF tilted seas that rake a ship;
The molten lava streams that slip
From fiery crater-rims and fill
The dark with rose and daffodil;
Lakes, mountain-hid and spiritual;
The undiscovered waterfall
Like white feather through the trees.
The undiscovered bird in these
Singing, always alone, alone,
The lovely voice of the unknown.
This is Romance chameleon-clad
That called me when l was lad,
That calls me now to follow well
Through blighted Picardy to hell,
Through hell to some elusive bliss
OF new adventure after this;
To follow without asking why;
So you will know, If I must die
Upon this last and strangest quest,
1t did not differ from the rest
In simple wonder dark and bright
A halo for the darkest night;
And freedom like the unknown bird
Was wild voice fought to hear!
These words, to you, my very dear.
Beyond the steel and the fire
Cleans the old desire.
Grace Hazard Conkllng, in the Atlantic.
