Jersey Cows for sale or trade. Al-

There was a time
—when old-fashioned
heating systems blistered
your f ace while your back
shivered.
But now...
with natural gas,
winter is just another
pleasant season in the
modern home.
Restless
CHILDREN
CHILDREN will fret, often for no
— apparent reason. But there’s always
Castoria! As harmless as the recipe
on the wrapper; mild and bland as it
tastes. But its gentle action soothes a
a youngster more surely than a more
powerful medicine.
That’s the beauty of this special
children’s remedy! It may be given the
tiniest infant — as often as there is
need. In cases of colic, diarrhea or
similar disturbance, it is invaluable.
A coated tongue calls for just a few drops
to ward off constipation; so does any
suggestion of bad breath. Whenever
children don’t eat well, don’t rest well,
or have any little upset—this pure
vegetable preparation is usually all
that’s needed.
A timely reminder
‘Days are growing shorter, nights longer, and
the first cold days of winter are on the way.
Now is the practical time to check up your
heating equipment while winter is still "around the
corner.” Don’t let obsolete or inadequate heating rob
you of a pleasant indoor climate. Improved gas heat-
ing equipment and your dependable gas service will
give you care-free, inexpensive comfort at the touch
your dependable gas service makes this fuss and
bother unnecessary. All through the summer months
your gas company has been "keeping your fuel serv-
ice faithful”—improving facilities so that you may
have the safety and security of a dependable natural
gas supply again this winter.
