WoODRoW,s LITTLE LAME

Our Woodrow had little lamb
Called it the League of Nations
He loved the great rough shaggy
form
With childish admirations.
The lamb was born on foreign SOIL
So it is not Yankee,
And as the thing began to grow
It got so very cranky.
But Woodrow says ''I'll watch it close
And see it does not smother"
The poor beast had host of dads
But never had mother.
He brought it home with him one day
From DER across the puddle
But when he brought the critter in
It stirred up great muddle.
What makes the lamb love Woodrow
so?
The eager Senate cried,
Why Woodrow loves the lamb you
The poor old House replied.
We love it not the Senate cried,
We fear it a rammie,
And when the horns are fully grown
Twill bunt old Uncle Sammy.
The House replied its form is rough
We fear Twill breed disaster,
So think Wen turn it out awhile
~ L.
Then Woodrow he grew very wroth
Says he, I'll stump the nation,
And got aboard his special train
And stopped at every station
/ And says you must adopt the lamb
! And treat it on the level
If not this whole darned ball of wax
VIII roll right to the devil
He swat the Senate on the snout
And ripped it up the back
Called them gang of rascals
Who of mother wit did lack,
/ And the House he stoutly fayed,
/ Gave them to understand,
That he was hess Of the sheep ranch,
They ate at his command.
The sheep stood back and bleated
Would not come up and drink
He raved and charged at such rate
1 That he got ON the blink.

And the spark plug it exploded

a Good Tonic

If you get the influenza, see a doc
tor at once-but why get it? Isn't 1t
worth while, instead, to take every
precaution now, against getting it?
Probably the best and first thing to
to do is to make sure you are in good
physical condition. During an cpl
demic, almost wherever you go you
are exposed to influenza. AS long as
you are really well, the red corpuscles
of your blood fight off and defeat dis
ease germs. But when you are tired
and run down, when you feel all right
except that you haven't much energy
or enthusiams, your blood is tired
out too, and you are an easy victim.
Pepto-M angan has become famous
as a builder of rich, vigorous blood.
1t helps you up when you are run
down 1t helps you avoid illness. Or,
it helps you recover if you realized
your poor physical condition too late.
Physicians have been recommend
ing Pepto- Mangan for years, in cases
of anemia (bloodlessness) 1t is re-
liable, effective, and has record of
over twenty-five years success. Take
no chances with rundown condition.
