IN THE MOUNTAINS
.(Ruby Creech)
The flowei^ti ort the mountain sides
^ire beautiful to see,
And, oh, if I could just live there,
how happy I would be!
To watch the barking dogs go by,
and hear the crickets sing.
As to and fro the milkmaids go,
and hear the cowbells ring.
To climb upon the mountain top.s,
when evening shadows fall.
And cast my wand’ring eyes below
to see the lights o’er all.
It seems as if the stars above have
fallen to the ground,
And making light for everyone to
travel through the town.
Just see the rushing water flow
o'er rock- and down the hills,
Until at last it rolls into the whirl
ing water wheels!
Such chings one sees in mountains,
away out in the west—
We tike them for they’ve always
. been a home of happiness.
to be a home, it must have the love
of a good father and mother. It is
just what they make it, whether it
be a fine mansion or a little log
cabin far up in the hills, away from
the noise and bustle of the city.

A HOME
(Hazel Driver)
Far up in the green hills, away
from the maddening crowds of the
city, there is a beautiful cabin that
is surrounderi by fragrant flowers
and ma-sive trees that seem to
touch the rolling clouds above. Here
and there, bunches pink and daffo
dils spring from the lawn and ter
races. The twisting honeysuckle and
the rambling rose climb the side of
the little cabin that is hewn from
rough logs.
The little home has no connection
with the outside world except the
narrow, winding trail that leads
down to the little village below. The
home does not have all the necessi
ties of life, but it is filled with the
beautiful love of a white haired old
man and ^’oman. It is a home to be
envied.
A home does hot have to contain
fine furniture and cars; but, if it is

Mrs. R. L. West, ol Huntsville,
Ala., writes: “I was weak and
run-down. I had a pain in my side,
and I kept losing weight. I grew
nervous over my oondltlon—this was
unusual for me, for I am very cheer
ful when I am well and don't easily
set nervous. I knew I ought to take
something. My aunt told me I omcht
to try Cardui, which I did. 1 hctjaii
to feel better. I kept it up until I
had taken three or four bottles. My
side null hurting and I was soon
feeling strong and well."
Cardui is sold at drug stores here.
Poisons absorbed into . the system
from souring waste in the bowels,
cause that dull, headachy, sluggish,
bilious condition; coat the tongue;
foul the breath; sap energy, strength
and nerve-force. A little of Dr.
Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin will clear
up trouble like that, gently, harm
lessly, in a hurry. The difference it
will make in your feeling over night
will prove its merit fo you-
Dr. Caldwell studied constipation
for over forty-seven years. This long
experience enabled him to make his
prescription just what men, women,
old people and children need to make
their bowels help themselves. Its
natural, mild, thorough action and
its pleasant taste commend it to
everyone. That’s why “Dr. Caldwell’#
Syrup Pepsin,” as it is called, is the
most popular laxative drugstores sell:
