Flower and plant pots, as they are

that we cannot have as many plants

A KINDLY IMPULSE
BY ALvAH JoRpoN GARTH.

Going back home, are you Earl?"
inquired Clyde Forrest of his cousin.

irritable response. I'm going back

Earl hartley acted and felt some

life. His father had left him a small
but steady real estate and insurance
business. There were no big profits.
but the regular collection Of rents for
clients and some notary public busi-
ness resulted in fairly good added
income.
Earl had a girl" Mary Evans was
pretty. popular, and, best of all, prac-
tical. Earl earned enough to dress

entertainments Durham afforded. His

prising young man, SO Earl left his
business temporarily in charge Of an
assistant and went down to explore
conditions at Rowland.
1t took Earl a month to find out that
whatever there was Of good property
chances had been already cornered
by wide-awake residents of the town.
1t took him another month to discov-
er that the cause Of the boom, the re-
port that two large industries were
going to locate at Rowland, was false.
The bottom of the boom fell out. Then
came plaintive letter from Mary.

I've had my nonsensical ambition

Earl. Il fancy homefaring life is the

All Earl thought Of under the in.
1uence of the pathetic letter from
Mary, was to get back home and
buckle down to hard work along the
old lines.
It was two miles from the home Of
his cousin to the railroad depot. Earl
swung along the country road calcu-
lating he had just time to reach the
station for the last train Of the day.
AS he made turn in the road he was
hailed loudly.
A well-dressed young man sat help
lessly surveying a stalled automobile.
One wheel was stuck in a rut. He
presented a picture of frantic anxiety
and nervous worry.

auto.

He set at work on the machine. At

Durham early this evening and I'll
be glad to settle for your trouble"
Never mind that end Of it," said
Earl. and spirited up at the thought
Of seeing Mary that evening after all.
During the next hour Earl learned
that his companion was a whimsical
young man of wealth, who fancied
himself an invalid. The brusque, free
energy of Earl made his acquaintance
quite companionable. He reused out

he spurted up the machine. quite
pleased at gaining courage from the
proximity of Earl.
Just at dusk they went whizzing
by farm house. Earl had turned on
the reflectors and Short, quite reused
up with his valiant efforts at the
wheel, was putting on the speed when
he suddenly drew back with posi-.
tive scream.
Great heavens" he gasped-I

Only flashing glance Earl had Of
PROSTATE figure in the middle Of
the road. Then the swift machine
passed over it. There was an unearth-
ly yell. Earls flesh crept. Short had
dropped away from the wheel and
sat huddled back in the seat, his
hands over his eyes and chattering
madly In an excess of wild terror.
II Earl had not seized the wheel
just in the nick of time, the machine
would have gone over the side of the
road to sure destruction.
BE a man." he adjured his frantic
companion and ran back the road
He returned almost instantly.
1T was a dummy figure. a trick

Short.

And that is why Earl BARLEY drove
into Durham that same evening the
proud possessor of q two Thousand

business as he, planned. and there
came an opportunity to sell some
property for Mr.. Short, which squared
the deal.

Mothers Advice
To Her Daughter
I A Real Live Doll to Fondle Is Womanss
Greatest Happiness.

One Of the most important matters about
which women concern themselves Is their
future status as grandmother. And she
IS wisdom itself who knows of or learns
of that famous remedy, Mothers Friend.
This is an external application for the
abdominal muscles and breasts. 1t GER
tainly has wonderful influence. allays all
fear, banishes all pain, is most grateful
encouragement to the young, expectant
mother, and permits her to go through the
period happy in mind free in body and
thus destined to anticipate woman's great
est happiness as nature intended she should.
The action of Mothers Friend makes the
muscles free, plant and responsive to ex-
pansion. Thus all strain and tension upon
the nerves and ligaments is avoided and,
in place of period of discomfort and con-
sequent dread, 1t is season Of calm repose
and joyful expectation.
There is no nausea, no morning sick
ness no nervous twitching, none of that
constant strain known to so many women,
hence Mothers Friend is really one OF the
greatest blessings that could be devised.
This splendid and certain remedy can be
hat of any druggist at $100 bottle, and
is sure to prove Of inestimable value, not
only upon the mother, but upon the health
and future Of the child. Write to Bradfield
Regulator Co., 1872 Lamar Bldg. Atlanta.
