ut is a surprising fact" says Prot.
Hou .on, that in my travels in all
parts of the world, for the last ten
years l have met with more people
having used Green's August Flower
than any other remedy, for dyspepsia,
deranged liver and stomach, and for
constipation. l find for tourists aud
statesmen, or for persons filling office
positions, where headaches and general
bad feeling from irregular habits exist,
that Green's August Flower is a grand
remedy. 1t does not injure the system

WHAT OUR FLAG STANDS FOR.

Wherever the American flag is raised
in token of sovereignty, it stands for
liberty, independence and equality.
What our flag is to the nation, Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters is to the individ-
ual, inasmuch as it not only gives you
freedom from your ailments, but pro-
tects your system in such a manner
that they cannot return. When your
stomach gets out of order, causing you
to belch after eating, or when you are
Sd ervou that you toss about all
night, unable to sleep, you should GER
tainly try it, because it will strengthen
your stomach, steady your nerves, and
induce sound healthy sleep, and for in
digestion, constipation and b~iliousness
there is nothing to equal it. Rheuma-
tism is also counteracted by its direct
action or the kidneys.

When the quantity of food taken is
too large or the quality too rich heart
burn is likely to follow, and especially
so if the digestion has been weakened
by constipation. Eat slowly and not
too freely of easily digested food. Mas
ticate the food thoroughly. Let six
hours elapse between meals. and when
you feel a fullness and weight in the
region of the stomach after eating, in
dicating that you have eaten too much,

leaving behind him three desperate
conspirators.
HE told as to go ahead and do our
worst" said Gaddis.
"And said 1t was none of Il busi-
ness" added Stroply.
Perhaps we'd better see about
that" concluded Atkinson.
The clerk was called away from his
desk and the precious record was deity
distracted from the drawer where it
had been put
Come on, now" said Gaddis, we've
got to work fast if we get this job
done"
The three hurried dowa stairs with
their treasure and went quickly to the
office of n of the photographic COM
panies, where they had the record put
on an instrument and listened while
the somewhat squeaky music filled the
room.
When Clarence takes my hand in his
And looks me in the eyes,
l own this world is fair enough
MOI long Tor paradise.
I DOL across the coming years
And dread the promised land.
| think I've found my heaven here

worst" shrieked Atkinson, las the three
conspirators writhed in wicked mirth.

our business? Here, Gaddis. there's
no time to waste. Take a pencil and
paper and go to work. See what you
can do 10Y in the poetry line. Well
all help you"
In half an hour. after much effort,
finished writing something on a long
sheet of paper. Then it was turned
over to one of the monograph opera
tors, who sang it into a receiver.
They tried the record on the phono-
graph amid renewed demonstrations
Of unholy mirth. Finally it was care
fully wrapped up in the paper which
had been taken from the original rec
ord deposited by Hilton in the clerks
desk.
Now, photographic records are fat
thin disks of black rubber. and one
looks exactly Ike every other. There
fore, when the job was completed not
even an expert could have told that q
change had been made without test
ing the record on a monograph.
Gaddis, Atkinson and Stroply car
ried the new record back to the club,
and, while the clerk was in another
part of the house, put the little pack
age into the drawer from which they
had taken 1t. Then they sat down in
uneasy attitudes about the library to
await developments.
Hilton came in a few minutes later
on his way home. He got his pack
age from the clerk and stopped for a
minute in the doorway Of the library
to speak to the boys.
When we get settled, boys" he said,
II pant to have you all out to dinner.
