A minister came along and gave him a cheery “Good morning,” remarking afterwards that he had a deal of work to get through yet. “Aye,” said the eater, “them stones are like the Ten Command- ments.” “Why so?" inquired the genial “You can go on breaking came the reply, “but you can't never get rid of ‘em."—London Morning Post. The Lesser Evil A notorious gossip one day went to Dean W. D. Wilson, burning with indignation. “Oh, Doctor, have you heard the disgraceful news ? The young people of your church are going to have a dance, they say. How shocking! What do you think about it?” To which the saintly scholar responded sweetly, “ Madam, I had rather have them shake their legs than their tongues!” —Christian Register.

It’s unquestionably the most beneficent thing our chemists have ever invented—means more to the human race in comfort and escape from skin misery— but it doesn’t sell the way it should. Of course, we sell a lot of it but noth- ing like what we would if more people would try it. Some people blame it on the name— say you can’t remember it. The other day I heard a lady ask for Korna Kopia. It seems easy enough to me. It’s a classic name, too—comes from the Greek and Latin—though I don’t know why.

Kora-Konia has a lot of gracious virtues —marvelous for habies—but I feel more in my element talking about its goodness for men, preferably oversized, heavily muscled men.

Your bearings need better lubrication. Kora-Konia covers the s n with a cling- ing film of powder which stays where it's put—perspiration doesn’t wash it away. A film of Kora-Konia absolutely prevents friction and chafing. But Kora-Konia is also a healing powder of extraordinary potency. It dries up raw flesh, reduces inflammation and removes soreness. Perfectly miraculous for sunburn, I wish you would try it. Let me_send you a big trial box for 15 cents and keep it at the club. The first application will give you undreamed of relief.
