After all, was Impossible, If you were human, not to recall happier Christmases. There had been happy, glowing Christmases lu Toms life; as a child In the home of his parents; as a ther and husband in the home he had created for his wife and ehildren.

This Christ mas, for some reason or another, prob ably because his vitality was at low est ebb, the memories lay damper ami heavier on his spirit than they had iu all the fourteen years. It seemed to Tom that his life was like a gray procession marching like gray cowled figures, one by one. to Ids grave. Time and again this Christmas, as the holly wreaths began to shine dimly through the dirty windows of his dls trlct, Tom found himself asking thi sinister question.

Take nothing which does not have the approval of the medical profession. BAYER ASPIRIN will never do you any harm, and almost always brings the desired relief. But remember that the high medical endorsement given Bayer Aspirin does not apply to all tablets for relief of pain. THE DOCTOR is careful to specify Boyer Aspirin for these important reasons: It has no injurious ingredients. No coarse particles to irritate throat or stomach. Nothing to upset the system. Not even any disagreeable taste. The Bayer process insures a pure, uniioraj noduct. INSIST on the tablet you know to be safe. And the one that has speed. Bayer tablets dissolve so quickly, you get relief from your immediate headache, neuralgia, or other pain. C 19A2, The Byr Co. Inc. n Mr. and Mis. E. II. Street and family spent Saturday in Salt Lake.
