What is CASTORIA
Castoria is a harmless substitute for Castor Oil, Paregoric,
Drops and Soothing Syrups. It is pleasant. It contains
neither Opium, Morphine nor other narcotic substance. Its
age is its guarantee. For more than thirty years it has
beeu in constant use for the relief of Constipation, Flatulency,
Wind Colic and Diarrhoea; allaying Feverishness arising
therefrom, and by regulating the Stomach and Bowels, aids
the assimilation of Food; giving healthy and natural sleep.

Life
Was a
Misery
Mrs. F. M. Jones, of
Palmer, Okla., writes:
"From the time I en
tered into womanhood
... 1 looked with dread
Iroin one month to the
next. 1 sulfercd with my
back and bearing-down
pain, until life to me was
s misery. I would think
I could not endure the
pain any longer, and I
gradually got worse. . .
Nothing seemed to help
me until, one day, . . .
I decided to
LONGING,
I often long for the good old days, for the halcyon days of youth,
But 1 don't think much of the good old days, to tell the honest truth !
It's only a feeling now and then, a sort of a backward look
I like a snatch of a good old song, or a line from the copybook.
II comes sometimes when ilie stress is strong, when the pace is jusi
too swift
It comes sometimes when my sky is dark, and the thought is a sunny
rift;
And it isn't the good old days I want, but it's jusi a sense, somehow,
That I want to get back to somewhere, to escape the cares of Now.
I've climbed the hill of life, and I'm starting down on the other side-
Trie way lies far to my patron star, and the road is long and wide !
I've viewed the valley from Forty Mount, and, taking the Road again,
I've glanced back over my shoulder to the miles that my life has lain;
And I've seen, in that backward glancing, a vision so fair and sweet
Thai the road ahead seems sickly and dead, and I drag my weary feel
And then it is thai the longing comes, and my eyes see through a haze
And just tor a fleeting moment I wish for the good old days.
And then I must thank my God for this-lhe burden seems noi so
ereat.
For burden is life's sure armor, and armor is prideful weight,
And I draw my gaze from the valley far back on ilie road I've trod,
And look to the one before me, and I think of my Staff and Rod !
And on toward the Siar, and onward as far as the fair road lies,
I shall carrv mv armor proudly, to the dip of the utmost skies-
And then, when I've dropped my burden at the end of the sun's last
rays,
Perhaps I shall taste the sweets again, and live in the good old days !
The Woman's Tonic
"l took lour bottles,"
Mrs. Jones goes on to
say, "and was not only
greatly relieved, but can
truthfully say that I have
not a pain. . .
" It has now been two
years since I took Car dui,
and I am still In good
nealth. . . I would ad
vise any woman or girl
to use Cardui who il a
sulterer from any temale
trouble."
II you sutler pain caused
from womanly trouble, or
it you leel the need ol a
good strengthening tonic
to build upyour run-down
system, take the advice
ol Mrs. Jones. TryCar-
dui. It helped her. We
believe it will help you.

VAST GAME PRESERVE.
Uncle Sam Has Created a Para

In anuilier respect lliispark land
stands in a category by itself. By
Federal enactment all of the Yel
lowstone Hark proper and some
additional territory bordering il lias
been made a vast national game
preserve, sonieining not onginany
planned. Here, within the park
boundaries, deer, elk, antelope,
bears, mountain sheep, moose, bi
son and ilie smaller 'earne, birds
(between 150 and 200 species)
and fui-bearing animals have a
reluge where no hunter or trapper
penetrates and dantfer rarely in
trudes. There are thousands of these
arious animals thai know they
re absolutely immune from harm
by man when wilhin the bounds of
the park. Most of them have nev
er seen a dog nor heard the sound
of a rifle. Under these conditions
their natural timidity is greatly les
sened, and many of them, even
bears, become surprisingly lame

road the beautiful mule deer and
the white tailed deer, touchingly
innocent and trustful.and the moun
tain sheep the big-horn fellows-
stand or lie, eating alfalfa, and en
joying the protecting care of a be
neficent, animal-loving govern
ment. They become almost as do
mesticated as barnyard cnimals.
Indeed, at Mammoth Hot Springs
the deer aciually haunt the kitchen
ducrs and i car ihemselves on their
hind legs against the porch railings
or even climb the steps and peer
into the doors and windows, mute
ly begging for food, which ihey
often lake from one s hand. At
night they lie on the snow under
the large trees, or in some cases
even sleep in the large cavalry
barns, which have been vacant
since ihe soldiers were removed
from the park in the fall of 1916
