caller knocked or rang our doorbell. 1t
was disappointed to me to find under
the hall door the cards of friends who
had called but could get no response TO
their presence at the door. This had the
effect of urging me on to devise a silent
doorbell. which was visible but not
heard in any way. How weird and
strange that sounds, and vet il practi-
cally describes just what it was.

GET RID OF HUMORS
AND AVOID SICKNESS

Humors in the blood cause internal
arrangements that affect the whole sys-
tenn, as well as pimples, boils, and other
eruptions, and are responsible for the
readiness with which many people con-
tract disease.
For 40 years, Hoods Sarsaparilla has
been more successful than any other
medicine in expelling humors and remov-
ing their inward and outward effects.
Get Hoods. No other medicine acts

A Rich Janitor.

In the August American Magazine Gull
len A. Cain writes an appealing story OF
school ianitor who in his old age gave
up his job and moved to another town.

much OF him that they gave him din.
ner. Following is an extract from the
story;
"He was a good iantor, and they gave
him a dinner, and the children brought
him gifts. He is a rich ianitor. He was
given more than other men can buy.
Anyone who has a store, or a hand
painted Office, or a mile or two of land,
or factory, or a rich father, can get
a dinner given him by people looking for
200 per cent profits OF some kind or
other on the feed. But when janitor
gets dinner given in his home il is a
tablet of SANDSTONE fact tha> he was a
good janitor.
"And the man to whom little children
come bearing gifts need never stop to
envy his brother who has an automobile,
or a ehun factory, or light plant, or a
railroad system. He is AS rich as this
earth can make him. and the order has
already been placed for harp with silk
strings for him in the Morning land.
"This janitor made the fires and swept
the rooms and wore old clothes and
worked in the cold o. the morning and
the dark of the evening. but az the last
he sat him down TO eat in high place.
The silk-lined princes who visited Fou-
quet at Naux never knew so high a
seat.

The Red Cross stamp is not a con-

the charitable world. But it is a popular
charity. Every one can contribute
to it. Each stamp sold is just as i'm
