Homeless Men Glad to
Find Stray Ducks’ Eggs
Any morning before the rush trattlc
lias begun you may aee the homeless
ones who sleep on the London embank­
ment walking slowly along, peering
over the parapet at the steps and
landings. They are looking for docks'
eggs.
I was walking past the air force
war memorial (write# a correspond
ent) when I saw two ducks perched
on one o f the steps Just above high
water mark. Between them lay a
beautiful new-laid egg.
I climbed over the low railing and
retrieved the egg. Aa I waa clamber­
ing back a seedy looking embankment
habitue accosted me. "You've pinched
my breakfast, guv-nor,” he complained
I gave him the egg. and he explained
that he had found a half dozen eggs
on the same steps during a fortnight.

W e all catch colds and they can make us miserable;
but yours needn't last long if you will do this: Take
two or three tablets o f Bayer Aspirin just as soon as
possible after a cold starts. Stay in the house if yon
can— keep warm. Repeat with another tablet or two
o f Boyer Aspirin every three or four hours, if those
symptoms o f cold persist. Take a good laxative when
you retire, and keep bowels open. I f throat is sore,
dissolve three tablets in a auarter-glassful o f water
and gargle. This soothes inflammation and reduces
infection. There is nothing like Bayer Aspirin for a
cold, or sore throat. And it relieves aches and pains
almost instantly. The genuine tablets, marked Bayer,
are absolutely harmless to the heart.
