Zingall, who was staring hard at q
nearly empty whisky bottle on the
table.
And don't leave your 'baccy pouch
lying about. George" continued the
mate, in thrilling whisper.
He leaned back on the locker and
smacked his lips. There was faint
laugh from one Of the crew. and look
ing up smartly he seemed to be aware
for the first time of their presence.
What are you doin' down here?' he
roared. What do you want?'
'Nothin'. SIR" said the cook. 'Only

mate, rising.
"Stay where you are" said the skip

"George!" said the mate, in the

personate the skipper.

skipper, irritably. I've had enough
O. this. I'll let i'm know who's who"
Still holding him with his gaze, lin
gall clapped his hands together, and
stepping up to him blew strongly in
his face. The mate, with a perfect
scream of rage, picked him up by the
middle, and dumping him heavily on
the floor, held him there and worried
him.

cred voice; take him Off"
'Why-don't- you bring - him
round?" painted the skipper.
Because I can't" said Zingall,
shortly. It'll have to wear off,"

Zingall drew himself up with a lit
tie pride. well, see what I've DONE"
he said. 1.-The fact is was charged
full with electricity when 1 came

left me weak, and until my will wears

And what about me-" said Bradd.
You're the mate,' said Zingall,
land mind, for your own sake, you act
up to it. If you don't cross him 1
haven't any doubt it'll be all right,
but if you do he'll very likely murder

demanded the skipper.

Any idea that the skipper might
have had of the healing effects of |
sleep were rudely dispelled when the
mate came on deck next morning, and
found that they had taken the schoon-

Straight Lines for Fig
ure Is Absolute Edict
Of FaSbioD.

Az 1t was rum0red In the summer
The padded waist line has come to
lass. There Is an oblong pillow worn
down the center seam Of skirt and
princess frock to give q large waist
line and q straight drop from bust to
floor.
Extra thin women are padding the
corset at the back. where the straight
frock or coat ID apt to fall into curved
waist line. This spoils the effect Of
the wide. straight back. which Is the
feature Of good fashion to-day.
Women who have large waists are
happily letting them out and having
comfort for the first time in their
:lves. The only thing Is that one must
wear gowns and coats in straight
lines. otherwise the effect is absurd.
Anything that tends to enlarge hips
and bust Is considered bad manage
ment In dressing, and even though the
waist line Is not only let out, but pad
ded. the hips are laced in absolutely
tight from the waist down.
Every woman does not know how to
lace q corset, and II she is In error the
result will be worse this year than for
many seasons before.
1t must always be unlaced its entire
length every time it Is removed. 9th
erwise bones break and steels snaD
and the corset lasts half its appointed
time.
When 1t Is put on it should he

under 1t to draw up the flesh. Next
the elastics are fastened to the stock
ings and the figure comfortably adjust.
ed before the lacing begins.
The lacers. which have loops in the
center, should be pulled little at that
line first, then they should be pulled
hard at the extreme lower edge, bring.
ing the edges of the corset together.
This should be done all the way up
over the hips. the extra length of
lacers pulled out at the center.
The same method of lacing should
then begin at the top of the corset,
only II is not necessary to lace SO
tightly above as below.
The strings in the center are pulled
as tight as one wishes and tied in a
loose knot. They should never be
brought around the corset and tied in
front. as this destroys the waist line
by denting 1t and finally breaking the
corset bones.

NEW LIRE

After one suffers from acid dyspep-

finds the remedy Is In getting the right
kind Of food 1t is something to speak
out about.
A N. Y. lady and her young son had
such an experience and she wants
others to know how to get relief. She
writes:
For about fifteen months my little
boy and myself had suffered with sour
stomach. We were unable to retain
much OF anything we ate.
AFTER suffering in this way for so
long decided to consult q specialist
in stomach diseases. Instead of pre-
scribing drugs. he put us both on
Grape-Nuts and We began to improve
Immediately.
1T was the key to a new life. 1
found we had been eating too much
heavy food which We could not digest.
In a few weeks after commencing
Grape Nuts was able to do my house
work wake In the morning with a
clear head and feel rested and have no
sour stomach. My boy sleeps well and
wakes with laugh.
We have regained our lost weight
and continue to eat Grape-Nuts for
both the morning and evening meals.
