Have You a Little Money to Invest or Save?

Almost anybody can MAKE MONEY but not

every one can SAVE it after they have made it, and

those who do save it many times have difficulty in investing" it where it will be safe and where at the

same time it will earn interest on dividens beyond the paltry three per cent paid by savings banks.

Perhaps that may be your experience. If so, you will be interested in knowing* that we

control the sale of an limited amount of a new issue

of stock by a company widely and favorably known,

which company within the past five years has paid

actual dividends amounting to ONE HUNDRED

AND TWENTY PER CENT. Would you appreciate an opportunity of that

kind? If so, write for particulars at once. Do not be skeptical. It is not oil or gas or gold

mines or anything of the kind. The name of the

company is a household word from Maine to Cali­

fornia. If we cannot convince you to your entire satis­

faction that it is an exceptional opportunity and that there are the BEST OP REASONS for offering the available stock in this manner you will of course be

privileged to decline to invest. BUT DO YOURSELF THE JUSTICE TO

INQUIRE INTO THE PROPISITION.

Cut out the following inquiry blank and mail

promptly.

P. O. Box 468, Chicago, 111. Please mail me particulars of your

stock proposition as advertised in

And it "Slyly SlipDed Away."

He labored long and arduous. To locate hiB vanished wealth,

For he didn't haulthat cordwood, ' Just merely for his health.

His searching it proved fruitless, And all of no avail,

Until the city drayman, Put him on the trail.

And chances are that someone, May have to take the stand

And if they don't 'twill be because, " They're more lhan willing to pay

For that slippery woodpile, That "Slyly Slipped Away."

HE above picture of the man and fish is the trade­mark j Scott's Emulsion, and is the synonym for

strength and purity. It is sold in almost all the civilized coun­tries of the globe,.

If the cod fish became extinct it would be a world-wide calam­ity, because the oil that comes from its liver surpasses all other fats in nourishing and life-giving properties. Thirty years ago the proprietors of Scott's Emul­sion found a way of preparing cod liver oil so that everyone can take it and get the full value of the oil without the objectionable taste. Scott's Emulsion is the best thing in the world for weak, backward children, thin, delicate people, and all conditions of wasting and lost strength.
