It's Me For Olive Tablets!

That is the joyful cry of thousands
since DR.. Edward produced Olive
Tablets, the substitute for calomel.

clan for 7 years and Calomel's old

for Olive Tablets while treating pat
tents for chronic constipation and
torpid livers.

contain calomel, but healing, sooth-

They cause the bowels and liver
to act normal They never force
them to unnatural action.
1t is easy to compel bowel and liver
activities for a time with calomel and

but the after effects are dangerous
and the real cause of the trouble Is
often not even touched.

ancient marble has had a remarkable
history. 1t is supposed to have come
into being in the fourth century B. c..
With the fall of the Eternal City, it
lay buried for centuries until during
the pontifcate of Clement XII, 1900
1921, it was resurrected between the
slopes of the Aventine and Palatine
hills. Sometime in the early seventies
it was purchased by an Italian art
dealer in London and exhibited by
him at his showroom in Regent
street. The damage which Hercules
sustained through the fall of Rome
was as nothing to that which 1t suf-
fered during its return trip from Paris
to London after the close of the ex-
hibition of 1878, where it was shown.
At the docks Hercules's right leg was
found amputated and the massive right
hand separated from its wrist. The
cunning Of the Grecian chisel is seen
in every detail.

ECZEMA BROKE OUT ON BABY

when my baby was two months
old, she had eczema and rash very
badly. 1 noticed that her face and
body broke out very suddenly, thick,
and red as a coal of fire. l did not
know what to do. The doctor ordered
CASTLE soap and powders, but they
did no good. She would scratch, as
it itched, and she cried, and did not
sleep for more than a week. One
day saw in the paper the advertise
ment of the Cuticura Soap and Cuti-
cura Ointment, so l got them and
tried them at once. My babys face
was as a cake of sores.
when l first used the Cuticura
Soap and Cuticura Ointment, could
see a difference. In color it was red
der. 1 continued with them. My
baby was in a terrible condition. /
used the Cuticura Remedies (Soap
and Ointment) four times a day, and
in two weeks she was quite well. The
Cuticura Remedies healed her skin
perfectly, and her skin is now pretty
and fine through using them. l also
use the Cuticura Soap today, and will
continue to, for it makes lovely
skin. Every mother should use the
Cuticura Remedies. They are good
for all sores, and the Cuticura Soap
is also good for shampooing the hair,
for l have tried it. / tell all my
friends how the Cuticura Soap and
Ointment cured my baby of eczema
and rash" (Signed) Mrs. Drew, 210

porary retirement from Washington
to Chicago, to be near his favorite
physician-for weeks the papers had
been full of these incidents.
When South Americans and Jap
anese combined to hinder the signing
of mysterious papers, he should have
realized that the matter was not of
private, but of public Importance. But
the true significance of the events
into which he had been drawn had es-
capped his logical mind. 1t had never
occurred to him that such a series of
plots, frequent though they might be
in continental Europe, could ever be
attempted in q country like the United
States. And then, he had actually
thought of little besides the girl and
her needs.
He glanced at her now, but her gaze
was fixed on the scene before them.
The brightness of her eyes aud her
quickened breathing told him how in
tense was her interest.
Across the table from the secretary
of state sat a younger man. His breast
glittered with decorations, and his
bearing and appearance had all the
stiffness of the high-born Teuton.
Of the men who stood behind the
two seated figures. some were young,
some were old, but all were weighted
with the gravity of a great moment,
Orme inferred that they were secre-
taries and attaches.
And now pens scratched on paper.
The secretary of state and the Ger
man ambassador-for Orme knew that
it must be he-were signing docu-
ments. apparently in duplicate. for
they exchanged papers after signing
and repeated the action. SO these

table of polished mahogany upon
which rested a reading lamp.
The glow of this lamp Illuminated
the forms and faces of group OF Sc
rious faced men-two seated, the 9th
ers standing. In the golden light,
with the dim background of shelves,
surmounted here and there by vase
or a classic bust, the group impressed
Orme like a stately painting-a tab
leau distinguished by solemn dignity
I'VE are to remain here and keep
very quiet" whispered the girl.
Orme nodded His eyes were fixed
on the face of man who sat at the
table, pen poised in his hand. Those
strong, straight features-the eyes,
prehension, so like the girl's-the lips,
eloquent in their calmness- surely this
was her father. But Orme's heart
beat faster, for the face of this man,
framed in its wavy hair, was familiar
Where had he seen this man? That
they had never met, he felt certain,
unless, indeed, they had shaken hands
in a casual and forgotten introduction,
Or was he led into a feeling of rec
ignition by the undoubted resem-
blance of father to daughter? No, it
could not be that; and yet this man,
or his picture-ah! The recognition
came to Orme in a fash
This was the magnetic face that was
now so often appearing in the press
the face of the great, the revered, the
able statesman upon whom rested so
great a part of the burden of the coun-
try's welfare. No wonder that Orme
recognized it, for it was the face of
the secretary of state! And the girl
was his daughter.
Orme was amazed to think how he
had failed to piece the facts together

the girl; and then, with suggestion
of adorable shyness, I'VE must go and
redeem that bill sometime"
The secretary was bordering. He
had listened with manifest interest,
interrupting now and then with Ques-
lions that helped to bring out salient
points. At the report of the converse
ton between Alcatrante and the ia
panese concerning the commissions
on ships, he had leaned forward with
especial attention. And now, after a
few moments of thought, he said:
THE Japanese minister we can han
die. AS for Alcatrante, l must see to
it that he is recalled-and Poritol."
Poor little Mr.. Poritol!" exclaimed
the girl DO you think he is still
kneeling in that feld?"
Possibly" said Orme smiling. I'VE

tary, that l may fairly give you lit

mors of negotiations with some for

Yes" said Orme.
But, perhaps you have not known
of the secret but aggressive policy
which Japan has lately adopted to-
ward us. The exchange of friendly
notes a few years ago might as well
not have occurred. If we had done
nothing to check the tendencies in

the scene which his action had made
possible-all for the sake of girl.
And when the last pen-stroke had
been completed and the seated men
raised their eyes and looked at each
other-looked at each other with the
responsible glance of men who have
made history-at that moment the girl
whispered to Orme: Come" and 81
lently he followed her back to the
her.
'Oh, Girl" he whispered, as she
turned and faced him, "Oh, Girl, | am
so glad"
She smiled. Please wait for mo-
ment."
When she had disappeared he re-
pictured the scene they had just wit
messed. With all it's absence of pomp,
it had left with him an impression
that could never be effaced.
Again the girl appeared in the door
way, and leaning on her arm was her
father Orme stepped forward. The
secretary smiled and extended his
hand
Mr.. Orme," he said, eve owe you

He seated himself. You will excuse
me; / am not quite strong yet though,
as | might say, very convalescent.
The girl was leaning on the back OF
her fathers chair. Tell father the
story, won't you, please?" she asked.
So Orme quickly narrated the series
of events that began with his stroll
along State street the afternoon of the
day before. 'It doesn't sound true,

CHAPTER XIX.
A Saved Situation.

He waited impatiently for her re-
turn Bessie, he knew, might be in
one of the rooms just across the hall,
but, though Bessie was trump, he
did not go to look for her. The girl
might come back at any moment-and
he did not wish to miss one instant
of her presence.
Again he considered the miracle of
her appearance in his life, and he re-
joiced that, from the first, he had been
able to be of service to her. Those
loving, trusting words that she had
just spoken-how they glowed in his
heart! She had known that he would
succeed! He could only think that
the secret telegraphy of his love had
sent her messages of confidence.
And yet he did not even know her
name The house was just such a one
as he might have imagined to be her
home-beautiful, with the air of a
longer family tradition than is com
monty found in the middle west-un-
obtrusive but complete. And the fur

standing were in quiet but perfect

On a table near him lay a book.
Mechanically he picked it up.

eyes.
He found himself wondering, wheth-
