A Sherlock Holmes Solution of the

When others fail, call upon John

for him. His latest is to solve the
thirsty passenger on the cupless-

This is the PLAN says J. Dawson:
at is hard to catch any man without a
letter in his pocket. The letter has
an envelope. First removing the en-
closed letter. he may tear off about
one-third of the envelope, at the open
ed end. Then, carefully grasping the
unsealed southeast corner-to prevent
a leak, you understandable may fill
the receptacle at the water cooler and
irrigate his parched system"

WHO

Such women never get the care nor
sympathy that they deserve. They are
too sick to be up working, not sick
enough to be in bed. They are often
told they "just imagine they are sick, !"
and that's about all the comfort the
poor sufferers get, dragging around
with aching backs, splitting head
aches, breaking down pains, misery in
the lower abdomen and sides, ulcera-
lions, Inflammation and displacements
and nervous enough to fly all to
pieces. Just all tagged out from mis-
cry. And yet they are told they can't
be very sick to be up and around
looking pretty WE'LL
No one who understands the nature
of women's diseases would say such

reliable specialist in the many pecu

and can cure those ailments.
Such cases as these are quickly cur

new system of home treatment. A
lady who was a great sufferer, now
writes the following letter:
IT was a great sufferer for years
and years, some days able to do my
own housework and some days almost
dead with pain and misery, consulted
numerous doctors without receiving a

lief. Finally was advised to go to the
hospital and be operated on for moth
