MELANCHOLY DAYS
The melancholy days have come,
the Kaddent of the year, when you,
f'etermlned to t>e
| glum, produce the
flowing tear, when
you refuse to gee
the joy surround
ing every gent,
and thus rtiscOur
age other boys,
pnd stir up (!!■
content. A grouch
will I ravel far and
long before its
i MASON ~j wor* '* donP'
and it will queer
Ihe hopeful song, and Hpoil all kinds
rtf fun. Men start downward with
buoyant tread, and things seem on
the boom; then you come forth with
blistered head, and fill them up with
gloom. There'd be no melancholy
days, our lives would be all fair, if
it were not for sorehead jays who al-
ways preach despair. We'd ni J ke
off every kind of grief, if Jonah
didn't com«t the peslmlst who holds
h brief for all things on the bum. So
If you really cannot rise, above the
sob and wail, and see the azure in
the skies, arid boar Ihe nightengalc
let some dark cave he your abode,
where men can't hear you howl, and
let your comrades be the toad, 'be
raven and Ihe owl.

Prepare for a hard day's work with a good
night's sleep. Nothing is more important
than plenty of restful sleep, especially some
of these, hot sultry days.
Aii Electric Fan Makes
Sleep Possible
Place an Electric Fan in your bedroom.
Let its cool, refreshing breezes blow over
you during the night. You will be greatly
surprised at how refreshed you feel in the
morning. I he idea that the breeze from an
Electric Fan causes cold has been proven
false. Let an Electric Fan blow you to
sleep tonight.
