WONDERED WHY.

Many pale, sickly persons wonder
for years why they have to suffer so,
and eventually discover that the drug

Of the trouble.

When Ralph A. Graves went out
ahead of Damaged Goods last August,
he decided to sell outright a wonder
fully constructed piece of Junk which,
he flattered himself, vas a motor car.
One Of his friends had described this
distorted mechanism thus:
IT'S a good thing to have, Ralph,
II you can't afford an automobile"
Another friend bought the mechani-
cal wonder for $3.50 and wound up
the transaction as follows:
Nov, Ralph. I've given you three
fifty for this machine, and you've
agreed to let me have 1t for that on
time. That's very good. very good.
Now, / have the machine as collateral
for a loan. You lend me 500, and I'll
give you a lien on the machine to in

When congress quit for the Christ

tant matters OF unfinished business
on It's calendar, the Alaska railroad
bill, a Joint resolution providing for
the appointment OF a commission to
investigate and report a plan for ma.
tional aid to vocational education; and
the District Of Columbia appropriation
bill. The senate also had a special
order on the Alaska railroad bill and

After the Alaska railroad bill II
seems likely that the Adamson bill to
create a public health service with
more extended powers than those now
lodged in the public health and marine
hospital services will be taken up for
consideration and very likely passed.
Other matters which may receive the
sanction Of congress before the final
adjournment Of the session are the
Booher bill relative TO restricting In
terstate commerce in goods made by
convicts. and the Burnett bill regulat.
