Answer: "Leave that town and go to some place where there are more men.
Go as a matter of business, earning your own living. Keep well, be as good as you know how, and trust in Providence."
GET YOUR WORK DONE
Get your work DONE, to remember,-- Nothing can take it away, Then shall the sun of December Shine brighter than goldenest May.
What is the Spring-time of flowers for?
Why does the sunshine come down?
What are the harvest-day hours for But fruit? In the fruit is the crown.
Why should we grieve over losses?
Why should we fret over sin?
Death is the smallest of crosses To the worker whose harvest is in.

LOWNEY"S
I speak as one who has cared little for candy of any kind and less for chocolate candy.
I don"t like chocolate cake, nor chocolate _blanc mange,_ nor chocolate pudding, nor chocolate to drink--unless it is cocoa, very hot, not too sweet, and strained carefully.
Nevertheless I fell in with friends, who feasted upon Lowney"s; they beguiled me into feasting upon Lowney"s, and since then my att.i.tude has changed as to candy.
I had a box of Lowney"s, a particularly well-made, attractive box, that is still kept to put small treasures in, and brought it home for my family to eat.
Always before, I had looked on with the unselfishness of a pelican, to see others eat candy; but now I strove with them, like a frigate bird, and made them give up some of it. I wanted it myself.
Furthermore, I bought a small box of Lowney"s chocolate almonds in Portland, Oregon, on the fourteenth of June, and with severe self-denial, brought it home on the twenty-ninth of July.
Then it was eaten, largely by me, and every single one of those chocolate almonds was fresh and good.
I can state further, on the evidence of personal friends, that all the Lowney preparations are pure and honest and perfectly reliable.
They are as good as the best in the world.
As to the candy,--That"s better.

SOAPINE
Did you ever see the Soapine Whale?
If this paper took half-tones I"d like to put in a picture of that whale--for auld lang syne.
When I was a girl I used to paint it, making the small advertising cards then so popular.
I could do it with a clear conscience, for my mother always used Soapine and I used it after her.
That box, with the mercilessly scrubbed whale on it, stood on the shelf over the sink, and was used continually; to wash dishes, wash floors, wash clothes, wash anything. It"s good stuff.
Make a pail of suds with hot water and Soapine, and apply where it"s needed--you"ll be satisfied.
There are plenty of alleged "just as good"s, but give me Soapine every time.
