WORK.

WORK
The Hun is a desperate slave to the

To the 'whuskey" the scot is a

The Frenchman would part with his
uttermost sou
For liter Of absinthe frappe.
The Yen-hok enmeshes the heather

The hookah debases the Turk:
But the acme of awful addictions TO
me.
Is the hideous habit called work.
1t snatches a man from his family
and wife.
.Unheeding their heart-rending
SobS.
And brutally binds him the rest OF
his life
To low occupations called jobs
Its victim, once caught in its ter
rible grasp.
Forever continues its slave.
Until, with a final and pitiful gasp.
He goes to his resin the grave.
Though often, like birds of the air,
l aspire
To fly from the wearisome town.
And haste to the goal of lofty de-
sire
Base works sodden hand bears
me down.
fain would be wading some MUIR
muring brook
Afar from all trouble and care.
Where troutlets will greedily snap at
my hook.
But work keeps me chained to my
chair.
Beware Of this monsters insidious

BE warned. gentle reader. by me:
/ Resist the temptations by which II
beguiles

CATCHING COLD!
MINTOL OFTEN PREVENTS
PNEUMONIA

1t is surprising to read in the daily
papers of treatments that our fore
fathers and srandmothers used for
coughs, colds, catarrh, and bronchial
affections. 1t impresses the Writer
with the fact that modern scientific
research had not advanced an iota,
when, as a matter of fact, there have
been wonderful Announcements in the
treatment of all diseases and condi-
tions that bring on disease. Just be
cause grandmother used old-fashion
mustard blisters or relieving colds
and congested conditions it is no
sane reasonwhy we should resort to
the old antiquated methods when
there have been such wonderful i'm
provements and new discoveries of
remedies which are far more effective
and less painful to use.
SPECIAL NOTICE:-A druggist
said the other day that a customer
came into his store and inquired for
a mustard plaster and he suggested
to the customer that they try MIN
TOL as more modern treatment for
congested conditions. The customer
accepted the druggists suggestion
and in twenty-four hours the same
customer came into the druggist and
said: How long have you handled
MINTOL? The druggist replied that
he had been handling it for some time
and the customer frankly stated
that he would never use a mustard
cream or plaster for colds, coughs, OF
any congested conditions again.
There are thousands Of others who
would say the same as this druggists
""stomor did, if they would only try
MINTOL. If your druggist cannot
supply you we will mail you jar or
receipt of 35c, Coo and $1.25 a jar
