with the way men leave a sinking ship

the exception Of one man all dropped
away from him, one after another, and

4 SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY
CONCENTRATED CASTOR OIL
It's In Jelly Form

After many years of experimentation,
our chemists have discovered a means
OF concentrating CASTOR OIL into
jelly form and then Aavoring it.
This new product is called CASTOR.
JELL and is replacing CASTOR OIL
wherever introduced.
The only difference between CASTOR.
JELL and CASTOR OIL is that one is
a jelly agreeably favored, the other a
liquid with the old familiar taste. A
35c. jar contains ten doses and costs less
than Castor Oil. Doctors recommend
Castor Iell when Castor Oil is needed.
Take home a 35c. jar today. Your
druggist will give you your money back

seems a tender message from you
Don't YOU remember when you pinned
them
ON my coat in the twilight's glow
Ny arms were tempted to- press you
close,
But 1 didn't dare tell you so.
Across the last years of vain regrets
[ see your mysterious eyes
And the flowers nod, and whisper,
They are hearing my long drawn
signs.
I can see you there in the shadows,
Gaily fitting in, and-then out
Among my roses and my heartaches
on your lips a bewitching pout-
Come back, dear heart, from across
the years,
Won't you bring back your yes
terday2
And bring me a rose, deep red rose
I'll meet you over half way.
And I'll open wide my yearning arms
For you to nestle safely here
Against my throbbing. aching heart,
I'll bury every single tear.

And we will cross the years together
Will start in my garden so rare
Where the roses are ever blooming
For just you, dear, and l, TO share
And the fairies will dance in glee. dear
And our fears will all vanish, too
And the world will be filled with music
For my world means you-only you
