"Sick!" Again the disappointment of a date that can’t be kept. It's always the day one would like most to go. Midol means freedom from these days of inactivity—days of suffering. You have probably tried other things for periodic pains, but so had thousands of women who today bless Midol. Try these wonderful tablets and be convinced that the normal monthly process need not be one bit painful. Midol is non-narcotic and harmless, but does bring complete ease in five to seven minutes. Or prevents the pain even starting when taken’ in time. Every drug store has the trim little metal case to tuck in your purse, and Midol costs only 50c. Many have found Midol the quickest relief for headaches, neuralgia, neuritis and other pain.— Advertisement.

It is heartening now to recall that, after each depression, our country has always gone forward to greater heights of prosperity and better, sounder standards of living. Today this country has more riches and better facilities than ever before with which to commence her next great period of development.

A review of the financial history of the United States since it was founded in 1783 should turn any pessimist into an optimist.

The Metropolitan will gladly mail, free, a booklet, “The Development of Prosperity in America telling of past ups and downs— and ups again—and how soon the “ups” followed.
