Mother Nature's Stored-up Goodies ;

m
ther To Read This To Yo
Gaily tripping through the meadows,
Where the $pe:'trlIcKvioIct grows,
Little Mabel, wjthMier basket,
Sings, as merrily she goes.
Here and there she stoops to gather,
Like a dancing butterfly,
Flowers and herbs whose radiance rivals
Sunset In the western sky.
Now with tiny hands she severs
Bark of crimson from a tree
And she sings with voice of gladness :
"Sweetest blossoms grow for me."
Echo, listening to the warbling,
As it sounded through the lea,
Opens wide her mouth to answer,
"Sweetest blossoms grow for me."
".Well, pcrhnps," cries little Mabel,
)"For you, too, the flowers grow;
Eut the secret of their virtues,
That not e'en the fairies know."
Just to tease the little maiden,
Like an arrow from the bow,
Swiftly naURhty Echo's answer
Comes to Mabel, "Fairies know."
"If you wish to make mo angry,"
Was the little Mabel's cry,
"1 will ro where I can't hear you,
So I think I'll say Good-bye." ,
And the Echo's voice so mocking
Floated out like Summer's sigh
Through the trees, down by the brooklet,
Mabel hears the soft "Good-bye."
Weary with her morning ramble
Wearystepplngstone-bridgedstreams
Mabel rests beside the brooklet;
Soon tired eyelids close in dreams.
Fifty little dancing fairies
Fifty, maybe, more or less
Float about the sleeping maiden,
With their fleecy, tinsel dress.
Fifty little dancing elfins
Fifty, maybe, more or leas
Peep within the maiden's basket ;
What they're after I can't guess.
Lo ! they take her herbs and flowers
Take the strips of crimson bark
Take them where the water trickles
From a great rock, high and dark.
Out from places 'neath the tree trunk
Brought they forth strange-looking pans,
Held them high to catch the water
With their own wee, funny hands.
Herbs, to make the weak grow stronger ;
Bark, to make the blood flow pure ;
Berries strange, a perfect tonic;
Stirred the elfins this strange cure.
Soon 'twas finished ; dark as seaweed
Was the liquid, now complete ;
Only add a little water,
Sugar, too, to make It sweet.
And a drink that rivals nectar.
Which the very gods thought good,
Is complete, all bright and sparkling
Rich and strengthening as food.
"Now, ere wakes the little Mabel,"
Said a tiny elfin dame,
"We must call this preparation
By a most appropriate name."
If you've enjoyed this little fairy tale,
ask your daddy to bring home a bottle of
A-
"Why not call It," said a fairy,
"By that name from whence it came
What thlnkyou of 'Earth's hid treasures?"'
Turning to the elfin dame.
But tho owl, with volco of wisdom,
Raised a slight objection here :
"Earth's too low wantsomethlnghlghcr
Say Hires Extract to make Root Beer ? "
Hires Extract, 'twas thus they named It;
And then little Mabel woke,
Rubbed her eyes, and said, all dazed-like,
"Some one's playing me a joke."
Thus she thought, as In her basket
Neatest little parcels laid ;
All her herbs were turned to liquid
All her tonic ready made.
Hires Extract was thus discovered
While tho little Mabel slept;
But the recipe so wondrous
Hires hlmiclf.has always kept.
It is the concentrated juices of healthful herbs Most everybody likes to have some kind of beverage on hand in
and pungent roots and the bark of certain trees, the house. Root beer, made from Hires Extract, is the ready
and different kinds of berries and flowers. All drink for all the familyeveryone can enjoy without question
of these things are Mother Nature's stored-up its wholesome refreshment. Heat dispelling and blood cooling,
goodies. They are good for grown-up folks and sparkling, foaming drink offends the good taste of no one.
Ytt) t Ik t easily and quickly made. Just stir together five
yttie roiKs to use. gallons of pure water, four pounds of sugar, half a veast cake
and a bottle of Hires Extract. A few bottles kept on hand
will meet the thirst need of a hot evening.
Beware of any extract where "Artificial Flavor" appears on
the lbel. Many so-called root beer extracts are merely
decoctions 6f oils, flavoring and coloring matter; many of
them are by-products of coal tar, positively injurious. Insist
on Hires, known for over forty years for its purity and the
goodness of the root beer it makes.
