Ears A-Wag
(By Alda Gurkin)
• was popping away at my chew-
gum one day, unaware of the
fact that I wasn’t alone until my
vother called to me. I asked her
-.'hat she wanted ,and she replied
hy relating the following story:
" You know, Alda, that there is
.Iway.s .something in the day’s
■1,'ents that bring back memories of
by-gone years. Your chewing gum
Iia-s reminded me of an incident that
b.ippened when I was in school,
“ I often wondered why a boy is
-%>vietimes given such large, red
sars that Iris head remind.s one of
L taxicab with both doors wide
'Open, anti why he is given the
-..-iwer to wiggle those ears. What
is more amusing than a pair of
> Tjs flapping in marked time to the
s^lick their owner’s chewing gum’'
“Ctni day while on class, I was
ntuch disturbed by a boy who
sat in front of me. He had such
large ears that I had to sit away
- x>er to one side of the seat in order
i', see the blackboard.
‘U.! .was busy on a test; but when
n 'heard .someone laughing in a sub-
.-raea nrease, I looked up to see what
Kt ’.was about.
"'To Tuy surpri.se and embarrass-
~-,eht, ‘everyone seemed to be look-
'^g a'J tac. 1 wondered if there was
something odd about my wearing
apparel, or if the bow in my hair
tad .slipped out of place and let
-lown my ‘pig-tails’.
“Finany, I caught a glimii.se of
; ■‘methlng red and turned my head
'' set w'ha it was. There I found
re cause for the hilarity. The boy
front of me was chewing gum
with a rythm to which his great

telling them what you have to offer

their ‘Dollar Day’ sales on trans-

SLEEP
When you can’t sleep, it’s because
your nerves -won’t let you. Don’t
■waste time “counting sheep.” Don’t
lose half your needed rest in reading.
Take two tablets of Bayer Aspirin,
drink a glass of water—and go to
sleep.
This simple remedy is all that’s
needed to insure a night’s rest. It’s
all you need to relieve a headache
during the day—or to dispose of
other pains. Get the genuine tablets
of Bayer manufacture and you will
get immediate relief.
Bayer Aspirin dissolves always
immediately—-gets to work without
delay. This desirable speed is not
dangerous; it does not depress the
heart. Just be sure you get the
genuine tablets stamped thus:

drugs to get the bowels to act daily.

bowel trouble
Constipation may very easily become
chronic after forty. And any conlinued
constipation at that time of life may
bring attacks of piles and a host of
other unpleasant disorders.
Watch your bowels at any age.
Guard them with particular care after
forty. Whenever they need any help,
remember a doctor should know what
is best for them.
“Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin”
is a doctor’s prescription for the bowels.
Tested by 47 years’ practice, it has
been found thoroughly effective in
relieving constipation and its ills for
men, women and children of all ages.
It has proven perfectly safe even for
babies. Made from fresh laxative
herbs, pure pepsin and other harmless
ingredients, it cannot gripe; will not
sicken you or weaken you; can be used
without harm as often as your breath
is bad, or when your tongue is coated;
whenever a headachy, bilious, gassy
condition warns of constipation.
