MARRY OR NOT.
A Really and Truly Modern Novel of
the SubIimely Soulful Sort.

A Really and Truly Modern Novel Of
the subIimely Soulful Sort.
She stood on the threshold.
Geoffrey DOdenreid was sitting, or
rather crouching, before fire whose Jets
illumined his tall. bent figure. A covert
coat was thrown across his shoulders; he
held 1t together about his throat with one
hand. There was something imposing In
his attitude and his soitariness. The room
was dark except for the fltful flicker Of
the fire, and for a radiant moon which hung
In the window pane, flooding the apartment
from floor to ceiling. It drew strange
traceries Of cold light and weird shadow
upon the floor and the yellow damask fur
niture.
AT the sound Of her footstep he turned;
he looked dazed moment. She noticed
that he was deathly pale. He sprang to
his feet, jerking the coat from his shouI-
ders. It fell to the floor.
She hesitated and wavered a moment on
the threshold.
"Ah," he murmured. II thought you
would come to me, queen Of my SOUL
eyes," she said. as If not needing his
words, IT have came"
:You see," he continued, eft was useless
for me to continue to struggle. From the
first 1 knew that I was yours. You see. I
needs must feel that the worship give to
you has for an hour, at least, made our
souls one I sometimes think you must
have seen 1t all on that first night. I knew
that my soul had found its master in a
tenderness illimitable. All, from tho first I
saw you as you are-angel and goddess
There is no act Of self-repression. no act Of
self-immolation man may not commit for
you-no fond and foolish thing one has read
Of but has scarce believed. You bring en-
chanting, elevating thought; why, you fill
with Joy the whole horizon Of the world
Until I met you I did not livel slept
But now I am awake. Yet love
you, you see, and would like to whisper
It in your little ear. But would not dare
All would dare is to fall at your feet So
might catch the murmur OF your low voice,
Hsten to it's music, and see love shape him
self on your sweet lip. You saw 1t, did you
not, darling. the very first time? You know
that never before had caught sight even
OF loves futtering garment. Why, it must
have been so plain to your deep heart If
you doubted 1t, 1t would have been calumny
mot to me. but to yourself, your lowell
ness. You knew from that hour that all
else. all else, all others-do You hear?"

Vegetarian Diet for the Masses.
From the British Medical Journal.

From the British Medical Journal.
Baelz gives the results Of observations he
has made on the japanese, among whom
the lower classes are almost entirely vege-
tarfans They are so. not from choice or
from principle. however, but from neces-
sity. since whenever they are able they
buy little meat CT fish, and regard 1t as
a great lu&ary. Their main article of diet
Is not rice, as usually supposed, because
this is too expensive, and is used mainly
by the well-to-do. but barley and buck
wheat and the soya bean. which contains
twice as much albumin as the best beef,
and costs one-quarter as much. while in
addition it contains 20 per cent OF fat.
The fallacy of Volts dictum that 120 grams
of albumen daily are necessary for an adult
Is shown, for, evidenced by the habits
of the Japanese for generations, it is 20 to
80 per cent too high. while it Is demon
strated that a race may live on an almost
exclusively vegetable diet and yet be ca
The prevailing type OF metaboism investi-
cation, in which purely arithmetical re-
suits Of analysis Of the income and outgo
are made is unreliable and does not give
a true idea Of the values Of diets. etc., for
different conditions may produce almost
Identical results In figures. The DISPOSE
ton Of the individual and, therefore, his
capacity for work may vary widely, and
therefore the author proposes a new meth
cd Of conducting such experiments, which
shall include study Of this factor and
suggests the designation Of capacity ball

Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the larg-
est sale OF any medicine in the civilized
world. Your mothers and grandmoth-
ers' never thought Of using anything
else for indigestion or bilicusness. Doc.
tors were scarce, and they seldom heard
Of appendicitis, nervous prostration or
heart failure, etc. They used August
Flower to clean out the system and stop
fermentation of undigested food, regu-
late the action of the liver, stimulate
the nervous and organic action of the
system, and that is all they took when
feeling dull and bad with headaches and
other aches. You only need a few
doses of Green's August Flower, in Ii
quid form. to make you satisfied there
is nothing serious the matter with you.
