AT stroke Of twelve en- All Saints eve,
IF you should tip-soe softly ont
You'd see the fairy folks who leave
Their flower homes 10 roam about,
And dance beneath the harvest nooE.
While witches watched their ealdrOns bubbl
You'd hear them chant IN WeR9ed tune
Their 'Dcuble, double, toll and trouble"
You'd see ihs s7ooks and black cats roam
Ard playing n tie shadows low,
The nynPh, and goblin, Elf and enome.
You'd w0ade- where these strange folks g
For ere the sun on Al Saints' nom
Has touched with gold, and frosty sheen
The fields Of pumaldn ard Of corn,
They disappear on Halloween.
YOU'D see the fairy Children wrsaihed
In daisy chains from fairyland,
And if yOu scarcely spoke OF breathed.
But stu as mice, went hand in hand
Where darkest noon-bsan shadows stay,
Such funny people as you'd see
Cone running here from far away
To join the fairies jubilee.
And 0, such sounds as you'd hear too;
The shadow giants walking round,
And way up high The owls would Hhoo"l
And things would creep along the ground,
and Coo! tie COLLINS there at play,
The awfzlest you'Fe ever seen
You might get scared and run away
If you went out on Halloween.
AND Just at midnight when you hear
The goblins and the witches moan
And al the htile elves appear;
Then you should steal away alone
And lock for faces in the glass,
Halt way down stairs By candle Light,
And dance Ike fairies on the grass,
And bob for apples at midnight
And cary jack o lanterns too,
And wear such funny clothes, and sing
And moan just Ike the witches do.
And hold a candle By ihs spring
Una your sweetheari's face appears
And never tel what you have seen,
Or heard, or done fer years and year,
that's what you DO on Halloween.

A CHILD HATES OIL,
CALOMEL, PILLS FOR
LIVER AND BOWELS
Give California Syrup of Figs" if
cross, sick, feverish,
constipated.

Look back at your childhood days
Remember the "dose' mother insisted
on--castor oil, calomel, cathartics. How
you hated them, how you fought against
them.
With our children it's different.
Mothers who cling to the old form of
physic simply don't realize what they
do. The children s revolt is well-found-
ed. Their tender little "insides" are
injured by them.
If your child's stomach, liver and
bowels need cleansing, give only deli
cious California Syrup of Figs Its
action is positive, but gentle. Millions
of mothers keep this harmless "fruit
laxative" handy; they know children
love to take it; that it never fails to
clean the liver and bowels and sweeten
the stomach, and that a teaspoonful
given today saves sick child tomor-
row.
Ask your druggist for bottle
Of California Syrup of Figs,
which has full directions for babies,
children of all ages and for grown-ups
plainly on each bottle. Beware of coun.
terfeits sold here. See that it is made
by California Fig Syrup Company.
Refuse any other kind with contempt
