I like it, for it does its own work, no rubbing, no stained skin and has such a clean, stimulating odor that just a smell of it promises the quick relief I know by experience comes after using. Good for tired feet, backache, sprains, strains, too. All druggists-35c, 70c, ?1.40.

MOOSEHEART MAGAZINE
THE “NEAREST YET” LADY
(By Rodney H, Brandon)
as only mothers know how to love.
He was her heaven, her ultimate hope, her all.
And so, after the mother’s feet had stumbled deeper, as they always do, it seems, Wiggly came to us.
_ In the pocket of his jacket he carried a stone and upon his face the hard determination of the vicious.
If, in play, the Company B boys chaffed at his dimpled face, the stone came back in answer.
He was rough, mean, starved, coarse, unsweet.
Imagining, of course, that he had come to a penitentiary—as his mother had gone to one—he set his pathetic little face sternly against his imaginary enemies and resolved to fight his way through.
We had, those days, at Mooseheart, as now, a wonderful woman.
She was neither oflicer, nor matron, nor servant—yet she was all of them.
No pay-roll check passed to her, yet she prospered in the joy of happy faces and hearts made glad.
_ If the sun shone upon her face it did not enter it, knowing that sunlight in plenty was always already therein, but it reflected right back at you to give you joy.
God had been good to her and she yearned to be good to God through His little ones.	•
This woman, has no name here, but we called her the Nearest Yet.
That seems a foolish name, of course, and it is, but we. called her by it, for she was the nearest to being a mother to the motherless of any woman.
So one day it chanced that she went away for a day, and Wiggly, who must, perforce be thought, be big and rough and bad, said to Monk Lee, “I’m glad she’s gone. I don’t like her anyway.”
And this hurt Monk, who had reason to know, himself, how far her heart could go, and so when the Nearest Yet returned straightway to her went Monk and told her.
She was not angered—she smiled.
Of course, everybody smiles at Mooseheart even if it isn’t in the rule book—everybody just smlies because—well, just because.
And so she called Wiggly (which isn’t his real name—only just his Mooseheart name) and she said: “Did you say that you were glad that I went away, that you didn’t love me anyway ?
“Did you say that?
“I don’t see how you could, because no one can hate anybody very much who loves him ,and I love you very, very much.”
Wiggly sat still.
The tone was new to him—yet old.
Something about it carried him back to the time before the Dark Days.
Something seemed to call to the awful hunger of his empty heart.
He looked up at the Nearest Yet Lady for a long time—first sternly— then, as she looked straight hack at him as only she can look—with big, kind, comprehending eyes—something came up inside of him that hurt—Oh, how it hurt!
The tears, which he fought back came bringing up. He threw his arms about her waist, crying, “Oh, Mamma! Mamma! Mamma!”
Prom none of the chemicals of life can we manufacture motherhood.
God gives it to women when they bring us young life, that it may serve as a tender shield.
Take it from around the child and his affectionate soul is calloused and becomes unnatural and coarse.
Sometimes, though, thank God, if enough understanding comes into the soul of a good woman who smiles and prays, there may be established something so nearly akin to it that a new sweetness may be created in the life misled and a new hope inspired within the tired heart.
IT IS the dungeon-dweller who turns his face most often toward the light.
Take the limbs from off a man and it is then he first notices the necessities for having feet; blind him, and the beauties of the landscape recur to his brain with constant pain.
Mark it down, brother, on the heart’s chart of your life—that you will seek and yearn most for that which you can no longer attain.
Mooseheart folks know this sad fact, but strive to forget it.
From God’s chemicals at hand we have striven to build the atmosphere of home—so much of love and of kindness and of unselfishness and of understanding have we poured into the Mooseheart cup and placed, it to the lips of those dependent here.
Yet none know better than we wherein we fail.
No, no friends, you heroes of the forge and shop, who from your toil wring free and give the price of children’s happiness—there is one thing you cannot buy for them.
Pour in your millions freely upon the altar of kindness, mix with the alchemy of love the priceless treasure called home and place this treasure in youi־ children’s hearts—and yet you have not done it all.
For, be it known, you Philanthropist of the Good Intent, there is one thing your money, nor the love of your lov-ingest servants can not bring to the childish heart.
You cannot manufacture motherhood.
From the homes of pain and trouble we take the little ones—deprived as most of them are, of parents, and we bring them to Mooseheart.
Good food, good friends, companionship, clothing, warmth, kindness and good cheer we may shower upon them, but no chemist has ever learned how to . mix the sweetness of a mother’s pain or to reach the majesty of her love.
The mother of. Wiggly Wiggins lived in a great city wherein men and women strove to wring a living from the steel and iron.
She kept her humble cottage in the hours her husband was at work and eked the modest income out at times with dollars drawn from the washtub.
When Wiggly was eight the great water came upon the town, and washed the humble home away and Wiggly’s father with it—leaving only the mother and the little boy.
Assistance from the local lodge brought some new furniture and an uptown flat in the cheapest district where the children of the worst roamed the streets and wherein there came for a safe haven the women who lived without the law.
It was a hard life for Wiggly.
Each time he ventured to the street he.was made to fight his way.
Life with him was by the law of tooth and fang.
If his mother sent him to the grocery for the pitiful substitute for a meal he was forced to fight to retain possession of the modest coin which she gave him.
He learned to carry a stone in his pocket and to throw first.
Things went even worse with his mother.
. She was young—and the call of life was sweet to her unaccustomed ears.
The wash-tubs steamed like hell-pots in her face.
She grew morose, lost heart, fell upon a false philosophy and gave up.
She began—hold back your stones, ye who are not without sin—to eat of the bread of infamy and to her the wage of shame was suffered as it brought health to her child’s face, better food and adequate clothing.
As her body reeled towards hell her eyes were on the stars, and smiled.
She was giving her life for her boy. And through it all she loved him
