Bayer Aspirin is genuine. It is the accepted anti dote for pain. Its relief may always be relied on, whether used for the occasional headache, to head-off a cold, or for the more serious aches and pains from neuralgia, neuritis, rheumatism or other ailments. It’s easy to identify Bayer Aspirin by the Bayer Cross on every tablet, by the name Bayer on the box and the word genuine printed in red. \spinn it the trade mark of Bajer Manufacture of Honoaceti^cidester of Salicylicacid Worried Niglit after Night as health declined **I SUFFERED fre quently from nerv ous headaches, and I could not sleep well,” says Mra Cora Dover, R.

Church Bulks Large as Community Asset Few persdlis, however limited their Interest in organized religion, would care to live in a community without a church. Purely aside from actual membership numbers or tlie number ant] money worth of plants, the churches are a community asset of incalcylable value. The point fre quently is overlooked. Too often the Influence of the churches is under rated. It may be felt that because only a certain percentage of the people are church members and because not all of these attend or take any actual part in the work of the institution, its importance is to be discounted. It is a mistaken, shortsighted view. For the church is as indisi)ensable to com munity life as Is the school (which only limited numbers attend), and its position hardly is comparable, be cause of the dlflference in purposes, with that of business enterprises. There are and will remain differ ences in faith, doctrine and practice; the ideal church for one individual or group is not and could not he. in the nature of things human, the ideal for all. There has been a growth of church co-operation locally and else where. The prospect of wider' church union is at times bright, again dis appointing. But withal, the churches are here and will remain, each one or each division seeking’ in the best lij^ht it can command to minister to the spiritual needs of the people. If on no other basis than that of pood citi zenship, the individual Is under obli gation to give the churches sympa thetic consideration and support.— Kansas City Star. New York Town Gets Revenue From Forest Little Falls, N. Y., a city of 14,000 population, is demonstrating what can be done with a municipal forest. Other cities might profit by following the example of the New York munici pality. As far back as 1896 Little Falls was purchasing lands with the view of ultimately controlling the water shed of the neighboring Spruce and Beaver creeks. Today the water sup ply of the city is protected by mu nicipal ownership of 4,003 acres of land at the headwaters of the two creeks, writes R. R. Fenska, of the New York State College of Forestry. Up to 1927, 1,200 acres of mature timber was in a very nearly virgin forest of spruce, balsam, fir, hemlock, yellow birch, maple and t>eech. In 192G, under the direction of a for ester, 5,000,000 board feet of timber, including both softwoods and hard woods, was marked for cutting. This timber was so selected that its re moval will not in any way impair the value of the area as a protection forest The timber has been sold to a concern specializing in high-grade lumber for piano sounding boards. The revenue from the sale will reim burse the city for the purchase of the land and timber. STATEMENT FITCHBURG MUTUAL FIRE INSURANCE COMPANY FITCHBURG, MASS.
