Another tragedy of the sawdust ring occurred here Sunday when Murphy, giant Polar hear of the John Robinson circus in winter quarters here, I was drowned by his paramour, Betty ■ as a punishment for his philanering , propensities with the seven other J female bears of the circus.

ANOTHER SLEEPLESS NIGHT .1 You go to bed dog-tired but still no sleep, no real rest. Morning finds you a rag. One of the first effects of a poisoned system is “nerves”— restless, sleepless nights. The whole thing is traceable to our modern habits of life which put too great a burden on our vital organs, especi- I ally the liver. The liver becoming “dead” or sluggish fails to remove the toxic poisons from the blood, ( which then poisons the system, i weakening stomach, kidneys and ' heart, causing high blood pressure and undermining health in general, j It is universally recognized that occasionally the liver needs a little help. Nothing is better for this, say medical men, than ox gall. Ox gall is a great natural stimulant for the human liver, promoting its normal active functioning so essential to real health. Dioxol tablets are genu- j ine ox gall in dainty and tasteless form, each tablet representing 10 drops of pure ox gall. To be sure of i getting the genuine ox gall, be sure ] of getting Dioxol. They cost less than 2c each at good druggists, and a few bring new days. WyethChemicalCo.Jnc.K —> , 578 Madison Ave., ► rpp I pCT New York, Dept M 35 11 IWI Mail me Free Ihuiul Samples.

z ' f / And 'x J* Bye and Bye You Can Buy A Pony And - And - YOUNGSTERS, untaught in the value of Savings, are prone to make the nearest candy store their “savings bank.” That’s only natural. And once accustomed to spending every coin as fast as they get it, it’s pretty hard to break them of the habit. Not by strict orders... not by chastising... can they be made to do otherwise. But through kindness and appeal to their youthful imaginations in the “vast sums” they can Save, can they be persuaded to hold on to money. Then, before long, you’ll have them coming to you with “Momsy, I want to put this in my bank!” When their bank is filled, deposit the money in a Savings Account for them in this Bank.
