What new dan GREATLY GOOD By DOUGLAS MALLOCH THIS Is the greatness of great deeds. By which the humble man sue ceeds Where oftentimes th mighty fails; That greatness Is not measured In The name we wear or wealth we win, Where often littleness prevails; For any can be grent who would, Since all men can be greatly good. This Is the greatness of this earth, That greatunesa counts not wealth as worth Nor title the important thing. For men. what task they may par sue, Are measured by the good they do, Not by the profit It may bring, The measure of man’s brotherhood Is merely being greatly good. This Is the greatness of the great, Whether they nobly lead the state Or nobly teach a vlllnge school; That they more happiness have brought By noble principles they taught Than those who poorly teach or rule. Both shall be Judged, as heaven would, By whether they nre greatly good.

Find From Your Doctor if the “Pain” Remedy You Take Is Safe. Don’t Entrust Your Own or Your Family’s Well - Being to Unknown Preparations BEFORE you take any prepara tion you don’t know all about, for the relief of headaches; or the pains of rheumatism, neuritis or neuralgia, ask your doctor what he thinks about it — in comparison with Genuine Bayer Aspirin. We say this because, before the discovery of Bayer Aspirin, most so-called “pain” remedies were ad vised against by physicians as being bad for the stomacn; or, often, for the heart. And the discovery of Bayer Aspirin largely changed medical practice. Countless thousands of people who have taken Bayer Aspirin year in and out without ill effect, have proved that the medical findings about its safety were correct. Remember this: Genuine Bayer Aspirin is rated among the fastest methods yet discovered for the relief of headaches and all common pains . . . and safe for the average person to take regularly. You can get real Bayer Aspirin at any drug store — simply by never asking for it by the name “aspirin” alone, but always saying BAYER * ASPIRIN when you buy. Bayer Aspirin Use Today Right No matter about yesterday’s short comings, today is yours.—Ryder. ^ DON'T SLEEP ON LEFT SIDE, AFFECTS HEART Gas Pressure May Cause Dif comfort.
