such a cake she hesitated for a second

'Indade can, mum. I made 'em in

She was told to go ahead, and what
she put on the table was a soggy mass
of 1lalf-baked -four with a. pint of straw
berries in the center of it. The other
pint she had eaten beforehand for her
share. Mrs. Bowser looked at the mon

You Must

If you cannot, it is due to an
irritated or congested state of
the brain, which will soon de-
velope into nervous prostration.
Nature demands sleep, and
it is as important as food it
is a part of her building and

of Inconsistencies relaxes the
mental and physical strain, and
allows nature to restore ex-
hausted vitality.
DR.. Miles Nervine brings
refreshing sleep, because it
soothes the irritation and re-
moves the congestion.
It is also a nerve builder: it
nourishes and strengthens ev-
cry nerve in your body, and
creates energy in all the organs.

He brought up in a restaurant five
blocks away and asked for old-fashion-
ed strawberry shorteake. It proved to
be old-fashioned. The crust was a good
imitation of leather, with a saleratus
lingering in the taste, and the berries
were so small in size ana SO few IN
number that they ratified around and
seemed lonesome. Mr.. BowSer wouldn't
have eaten it at his own table, but the
thought that he was spiting Mrs Bow
ser put an edge to his appetite, and he
worried along until he had finished his
third order. The waiter betrayed no
astonishmert- He had seen folks drop
dead In that restaurant. The third piece
had hardly been finished when Mr.
Bowser felt a pain. 1t was neither in
his toe nor heart. Before he could turn
pale he was seized with a second. He

was called back and characterized as a
dead beat because he had forgotten the
bill. This brought him other pains. By
the time he reached the door he was
having it hard, and sympathetic po-
liceman who noticed his condition laid
a hand on his shoulder and said:
go home. old man. You've taken a
couple of drinks too many, but don't
want to run you in"
TT isn't whisky, but ouF strawberry

door I'VE call the brand the Non
pareil, and It will knock 'em out every

Then the officer rang for the anbu-
lance and Mr.. Bowser was sent home.
He arrived at his gate with seven
groans and sigh, and was helped into
the house and the doctor sent for. At
the end of an hour the medical man
said to Mrs. Bowser:
.'Oh. yes, he will live, and about tur-
nip time he will eat a bushel or two
of raw ones and want my services

could"
And this is the result, By John, but
this is a fine run house! Such things
as this encourage me to invite com
pany home to dinner"
MRS. Bowser was mortified and indig-
nant, but she spoke soothingIy and
quietly, and by promising to make a
cake with her own hands for the next
dinner she snoothed Mr.. Bowser down
after about half an hours work. When
he had gone up to the sitting room she
said to the girl:
Anna, thought you said you could
make strawberry shortcake?''
And so 1 did, num-
And what do you call this?''
"A strawberry shortcake for sure, and
one that would put the age of me poor
old father back ten years if he could
but taste it. Did Mr.. Bowser find fault
wild it?''
''Of course he did. No one could eat
it. / shall make one myself tomorrow
evening, and want you to pay partic-
ular attention and see how I do it,
III dc it, mum, but the idea that 1
can't please Mr.. Bowser after pleasing
the highest gentry OF Ireland hurts me
feelings. If I'd have known that he
wanted rabbit pot-pie I'd have made
him one"
The failure of that shortcake made
Mr.. Bowser grumpy all the evening,
and during the night he woke Mrs.
Bowser up by exclaiming in his sleep:

tempt any of your little jokes on me!

He was still grumpy when he left for
the Office in the morning, but his face
cleared a bit as Mrs. Bowser said:
You may get your appetite all ready
for something good for desert tonight,
I'll make shortcake that will melt in
your mouth
