In supplying that demand with its
excellent combination of Syrup of

ethical lines and relies on the merits
of the laxative for it's remarkable
success.
That is one of many reasons why

rheumatism Prescription.

The increased use of whiskey for
rheumatism is causing considerable
discussion among the medical frater-
nifty. 1t is an almost infallible cure
when mixed with certain other ingred-
tents and taken properly. The follow
ing formula is effective: "To one half
pint of good whiskey add one ounce of
Toris Compound and one ounce of Syrup
Sarsaparilla Compound. Take in table,
spoonful doses before each meal and
before retiring"
Toris compound is product of the
laboratories of the Globe Pharmaceu-
tical Co., Chicago, but it as well as the
other ingredients, can be had from any
good druggist.

SUN BATHS FOR NERVES.
Specialist Tells How Much Good They
Do Suffering Women.

Initiate your cat madam, and take
a sun bath these spring mornings II
you want to get rid of your nerves,
said a Boston specialist to one Of his
patients recently. See how lazy and
happy pussy looks as he stretches his
body and blInks his eyes in the morn
ing sun. If cats had nerve diseases
this would be the best thing in the
world to cure them.
Every sanitarium has its sun room
now, but women ought not to wait till
they have reached the sanitarium
stage of breaking down before they in
dulge in anything as cheap as sun
bath. Any woman who has a south
window and an easy chair can have a
sun bath every morning this spring IL
she only determines to take it. II the
potatoes have to be peeled, or the
stockings darned, they can be done
during the sun bath. but the best way
of all is to take il just as the cat does,
in the LATEST fashion possible. Run
the shade way tp to the sash, move
your chair within range of the sun
nRnL ana luXurlale lot nail an HOuI.
It's better than gallons of spring medi-
cine, and may save hours and hours
of dullness or staying in bed later on.
Zone of my patients who had a Sc
we're case of nervous prostration last
spring brought herself out of it after
| had tried every thing, just by chas-
ing the sun around the house from
window to window, so that she got
every bit that came in during the day.
Indian women have the most placid
nerves of any race of people in the
world, probably. and doctors are be-
ginning to think II is because they sit
in the sun so much. An Indian woman
is as fond of the sun outside her wig
wan as the cat is of his favorite sun
spot. They sit in 1t and vegetate for
hours at a time, scarcely winking the
eyes.
There's no danger of women vege-
tating these days. so it's quite safe to
advise one to sit in the sun as much
as she can. It's good for her anyway,
but especially so II she's nervous"

His sneering words ceased suddenly,
not for the menace In Stella's pale
face, but for hasty, approaching
strides. He sprang forward past Stel-
la to meet Gideon's crashing blow.
Hand Stella her handkerchief, you
DEVILS whelp!" Gideon hastened the
PROSTATE man with kick.
Phineas rose with difficulty and
obeyed; but Stella, now that help had
arrived, was stunned to inaction, and
the white token fell at her feet
That's right, Stella! Don't touch
IT," Gideon turned to Phineas. who
was feebly trying to restore order to
his apparel. You brass-mouthed
sneak! l heard you kiss her, heard
what you said. II you can't vent your
spite on a man without stalking a

The Yale expositor., 1908-05-15

To-day Stella's grateful solitude was
short-lived. Quick steps had followed
hers; the twigs parted and Phineas
stood before her.
Stella's intuition was unerring, but
her caution was unframed. She did
not attempt TO conceal her opinion of
him. "Mr. Cadwallader!" she cried
starting up. Il thought you went
away by the stage"
Il didn't, you see. I'm here instead"
He bowed deferentially. How could
go without a word with you, the belle
of the village? Won't you sit down
again." He waved his hand toward
the rock from which she had risen, but
kept his place near the entrance.
Thank you, Mr.. Cadwallader. Please
excuse me; | must hurry back" She
took a step forward, but he did not
offer to give her egress.
What's your hurry. Miss Stella?
You are a lovely dryad here at your
shrine, and pretty girls, to say nothing
of dryads, are too few in my busy life.
You surely won't be so cruel as to
leave me without word?"
His manner was as respectful as he
could make il. Still, Stella knew he
made conquests merely TO brag of
them. Its time for Miss Viola's les
sons. and must CO." she said with de-
cision.
He did not move. "Vis lessons don't
begin till two; Sally B. said so. It's
1:15 now; time enough for a little
talk, isn't there? I've something i'm
portant to say to you" Phineas gazed
at her boldly, expecting to see a flush
of apprehensive color sweep her face.
Her calmness only spurred him the
more.
Stellas eyes were fixed on the op-
posite Interest, and she lifted her
hand thoughtlessly to her hair while
searching for an excuse to go that
would be effective. The motion freed
a handkerchief tucked in her belt, and
it fiuttered to the ground unseen by
her.
Phineas furtively reached for ii, ex-
amined it, noted the embroidered

his pocket. "Yes, look to your hair,

liant enough to make stars Of" he said
impressively.
"Mr. Cadwallader, l cannot accept
nor parry your extravagant compli-
ments as a city girl would. Surely you
can't be interested In the simple
things / can say. Please let me &c"
Once again she moved as IL to pass
him.
"A beautiful woman doesn't need to
say things to be interesting. You
haven't asked what It is l wished to
say"
did you expect me to ask?"
Most girls would. That's where
you are the more attractive. Sit down
here and we'll talk It over. I'll make
you comfortable" He reached for
some of the overhAnging boughs, in.
tending to place them on the rock
seat. The movement took him a pace
from the opening.
Really, Mr.. Cadwallader, I'm sure
you could tell me as well at the hotel
Good afternoon" She started toward
the low, thorny opening.
He was after ner with the spring OF
a cat. mo, you don't, my beauty
II you won't stay and talk, you shall
give me a proper farewell"
The inequality of the ground availed
him; and before she could divine his
intention he threw his arm around
her, gave her an audible kiss and
stepped back out OF her reach. There
my wood-nymph, don't break your
heart; and don't think I was intending
to ask you to marry me. I only wanted
to tell that inflated skipjack, Vincent
that his modest dove wasn't above a
