MERRY were the gladsome huskers, For they knew the corn they gathered, In the pleasant days of autumn Would sustain their lives through winter. So they sang a song together, All the young men and the maidens, Sang the praises of Mondamin And his Grecian sister Ceres. Thus they sang in measured chorus: “Honor be to brown Mondamin; Honor be to ancient Ceres; Honor to the noble Red-man; Honor to the wiser White-man Who hath built in Indiana Mighty mills to make the magic Cerealine, the Flakes nutritious, Food of foods, the precious essence Of the life blood of Mondamin, That shall give to every eater Health, and strength to think and labor. Haste the day when all the people Shall enjoy at each day’s banquet, Cerealine, the food ideal.” * * * * * =The series of twelve original pictures, illustrating “Hiawatha’s Fasting,” of which the above is a small example, will be mailed to any one who will mention where this advertisement was seen and enclose a two-cent stamp for postage to the Cerealine Mfg. Co., Columbus, Indiana.= =“Cerealine Flakes” for sale by all grocers at twenty cents a package.= [Illustration: IVORY] BUBBLE PARTIES. ONE of the most amusing, as well as easily arranged entertainments for the Holidays, is a “Bubble Party.” Twenty or more ladies and gentlemen, enough clay pipes so each will have one, three or four bowls of soap-suds, and, say, half a dozen trifles, for prizes, are all that is required, the prizes to be awarded to those who blow the largest bubbles, one of the party to act as referee. The suds should be of IVORY SOAP, as it gives a clean, white, and abundant lather, with an entire freedom from oil or grease; and as the materials of which it is made are so clean and pure, it is not at all offensive to the smell or taste, like ordinary soap. A WORD OF WARNING. There are many white soaps, each represented to be “just as good as the ‘Ivory’;” they ARE NOT, but like all counterfeits, lack the peculiar and remarkable qualities of the genuine. Ask for “Ivory” Soap and insist upon getting it. Copyright 1886, by Procter & Gamble. * * * * * Transcriber’s Notes: Obvious punctuation errors repaired.
