son named Norman Deston, and neph- Ioh
sw. Gerald Forbes. By his own wish.
Wilkes. his older son, was excluded from
sharing the great fortune.

Mr.. Barker. That gentleman tried TO
dlssuade him from the belief.
In the midst of his efforts to quiet
Gerald's fears. Norman Deston was found
dead one night on the floor OF the Destcn
home. Gerald Forbes had disappeared
and did not return for the funeral. An
other strange circumstance was that
Amato, father of Nina Amato, the girl

been married. had left just before the
funeral and he had not been heard from.

discounted this theory when he found the
AIDS.
Thorough search failed to disclose any
trace OF Gerald nor could AmatO or his
daughter be found at the places to which
they were supposed 10 have gone.

Surely Breaks the Most Stubborn
Cold and End Grippe Misery

1t is a positive fact that a dose of
Pape's Cod Compound taken every
two hours until three consecutive doses
are taken will cure Grippe or break up
the most severe cold, either in the
head, chest. back, stomach or limbs.
You distinctly feel the cold breaking
and all the disagreeable grippe symp-
toms leaving after the very fist dose. 1t
promptly ends the most miserable head
ache, neuralgia pains, dullness, head
and nose stuffed up, feverishness, sneez-
Ing, and sore throat, running of the
nose, mucous catarrhal discharges, sore
ness, stiffness and rheumatic twinges.
Pape's Cold Compound is the result
of three years research at a cost of
more than fifty thousand dollars and
contains no quinine, which we have
conclusively demonstrated is not effec-
tive in the treatment of colds or grippe.
Take this harmless compound as di-
rected, with the knowledge that there
is no other medicine. made any where
else in the world, which will cure your
cold or end Grippe misery as promptly

Tray Meals Improved
By Many Novelties

Where many meals are served in a
room it is well to hunt up some Of
the novelties that make such service
easy.
Very new is a tray of white pOrce-
lain with silver or nickel trimmings.
This is fitted with grooves of the met
al in which are set two cups and
sauCers, a tea pot, cream jug. butter
plate, toast rack, marmalade jar and
small breakfast plate.
Smaller but equally convenient is a
combination salt and pepper shaker
set in a little stand which holds
glass butter plate and knife. The
stand has a curved handle, which
makes it easy to lift from the main
tray when not in use.
Another convenience is the teaspoon
with perforations that makes it pos
sible to send up a jug of boiling water
ana have tea just the right strength.
