Bud s Hat

It's funny bout feller's hat
he CANT remember where it's at,
Or where he took it off, or when,
The time he's wantin' it again;
He knows just where he leaves his
shoes,
His sweater he won't often lose,
An he can find his rubbers, but
He can't tell where his hat is put
A feller's hat gets anywhere,
Sometimes he'll find it in a chair,
Or on the sideboard, or maybe
It's in the kitchen, just where he
Gave it toss beside the sink
When he came in to get a. dunk,
An then fprgot-but anyhow
He never Knows where it is, now. yc
A feller's hat is never where
He thinks it Is when heTgoes there; :
It's never any use to look -.
For it upon closet hook,
Coz it is always in some place ''h
1t shouldn't be, to his disgrace
An he will find it, like. as not,
Behind some radiator hot,
A feller's hat can get away
From him most any time Of day,
So he can't ever find it when
He wants it to go out again;
1t hides in corners dark an grim
An seems to want to bother him,
1t disappears from sight somehow
| wish / knew where mine is now

Foolish Court Sentence

One of the most frankly foolish and
impossible sentences on record was
that imposed upon a child murderer in
Germany, who was tried at Griefswald
in 1906. He was sentenced to be be-
headed twice, then to receive two
years Imprisonment, and finally to
suffer the loss of all his political rights.

GOLDINE IS BEST TO

Don't spank your children for bed wetting. All the spanking in the world won't help their kidneys. and that is the cause of this habit. IT your child's kidneys are weak. it is sign that something must be done,s ana done quickly. Unless you start treat ment. this habit will remain with the child, and probably grow worse as the years pass. Now is the time to check
 Mrs. Celia Shanon of 22o7 Seventh Ave, Troy, N.Y.. was worried over her year old daughter Eva, who was af- fiicted with the bed -wetting habit For two years Mrs. Shanon tried to check the trouble, but without success. She heard from friends that Goldine No. 2
 was good kidney remedy, and got a bottle. Now she says:
 T, had three doctors for my daugh- l ter. but they didn't seem to do any | good. I got bottle of Goldine No : | and it stopped the bed-wetting the second night It was the first medi- cine we ever got that would do 1t Goldine is a good medicine"
 Mrs. Shanon is the right kind of. z
 mother one who is constantly lookin out for the welfare of her child. Al
 mothers should be like her And the,
 should keep Goldine in the home fo, i tne children. Remember, Goldine No
