Ministry of knitterS.

With real regret good many Of our
ladies will lay aside their knitting
needles at the word that their industry
has Supplied the immediate needs OF
the soldiers and sailors. Their record
of millions of sweaters, helmets and
other protective gear is uneXampled in
the history Of the world, and will be
immortal in the grateful memories OF
the returning heroes. These knitters
did not need to begin their lesson OF
thought for others when they took up
knitting. But having kept it at the
forefront of attention for so long, they
will certainly be eager to, find other
means of thoughtful ministry.-Con-

INVENTIVE GENIUS MAKES
ASPIRIN SAFE FOR HEART
Improved Tablet, Called Aspitone,

but is Slightly Stimulating Instead

Not Upset Stomach.

Physicians and druggists are de-
lighted with Aspitone, the improved
aspirin tablets, that do not depress
the heart nor upset the stomach. All
who have tried the new tablet are de.
aighted with it's quick and agreeable
effect and claim that it is much more
effective and in every way superior
to the old style aspirin. Physicians
maintain that its safety alone should
give it preference over all other rem
'.edies for headache. neuralgia, rheu-
:matism and especially for severe cold
and influenza. in all of which dis
eases the heart is said to be weaken
ed and should be stimulated rather
than depressed.
The new Aspitone is slightly stin-
ulating instead of depressing to the
heart. 1t relieves pain, fever. and the
tendency toward congestion and pneu-
monia quicker and more completely
than does aspirin, and is entirely free
of the heart-depressing effect.
