CLINCHED IN HIS MEMORY
Small Chance of Charles Abner For getting the Day That Meant
 Everything to Him.

Some time since Charles Abner courted and married the beautiful FL len Estelle. One evening several months later they were seated in their cozy little den, Ellen Estelle reading a popular novel and Charles Abner looking over the sporting page.
 Charley, dear" finally remarked the little wife, do you recall the time you proposed to me?"
 Why, yes" rather indifferently an swered Charles Abner, q think I re- member it. 5
 "Of course, you do," returned Ellen Estelle. "It was in an automobile. shall never forget the lovely words you spoke, and the noble sacrifices you promised to make. It must have cost you something to say those things"
 'It did, Ellen EstelIe,'' responded Charles Abner, with a reflective sigh, "it cost me about two weeks salary to hire the automobile. e."-Philadelphia Telegraph.

 Fair Charmer.

"Oh, Mir Hero, I'm so glad to see you safely back from the war Sit right down and tell me all about it. I'm awfully interested. Wasn't it sim ply terrible over there? And did you really live in the trenches for weeks at time with shot and shell scream ing all around you? l don't see how you could stand it. Were you ever hit by one of those forty-two eentimeter guns? mean by the bullet, of course; not by the gun. But then, of course, you weren't, or you'd have your arm in sling or something. Who do you think is going to win? I suppose shouldn't ask you that, though. You soldiers are not allowed to tell mili- tary secrets, are you? Did you ever really kill man yourself, or don't you know? My uncle, who was ill the Spanish war, says you never can tell whether it's your bullet or somebody else's that hits the enemy. 1 should think that would be awfully annoying. Not that you want to know that you'd killed a man. but still you'd like to know whether you're wasting your am intuition or not Oh, must you go sc soon? l wish you would stay longer I've been so interested in hearing your adventures. Call again soon, won't you? Good-by."

CALOMEL |s MERCURY, T SICKENS!
 STOP USING SAuvAT|NG DRUG
Don't Lose Days Work If Your Liver Is Sluggish or Bowels
 Constipated Take "Dodsons Liver Tone"-It's Fine!

You're bilious Your liver is slug gish! You feel lazy, dizzy and all knocked out. Your head is dull, your tongue is coated; breath bad; stomach sour and bowels constipated But don't take salivating calomel It makes you sick, you may lose days work.
 Calomel is mercury or quicksilver which causes necrosis of the bones. Calomel crashes into sour bile like dynamite, breaking it up. That's when you feel that awful nausea and cramp- ing.
 If you want to enjoy the incest, gen. tlest liver and bowel cleansing you ever experienced just take a spoonful of harmless Dodson's Liver Tone. Your druggist or dealer sells you 50-cent bottle of Dodsons Liver Tone under my personal money-back guarantee that each spoonful will clean your

sluggish liver better than a dose of nasty calomel and that it won't make you sick.
 Dodson's Liver Tone is real liver medicine. You'll know it next morn ing because you will wake up feeling fine, your liver will be working, your headache and dizziness gone, your stomach will be sweet and your bowels regular. You will feel like working; you'll be cheerful; full of vigor and ambition.
 Dodson's Liver Tone is entirely vegetable, therefore harmless and can- not salivate. Give it to your children! Millions of people are using Dodson's Liver Tone instead of dangerous cal. omel now. Your druggist will tell you that the sale of calomel is almost stopped entirely here.

Psychology of Practice.

The question of short versus long periods of practice in training the hu- man muscles for any particular kind of work is obviously one having far reaching application Some interest ing experiments on this subject have been carried out by Dr. K. s. Lashley of Johns Hopkins university. Acquisi- ton of skill in archery was selected as the subject of observation. Twenty untrained persons were divided into three groups. One group shot five arrows with the English longbow per day; another, twenty shots per day; and the third, forty shots. The re. suits showed conclusively that the group shooting only five times a day improved in accuracy with less eX- penditure of time in practice than was required by either of the other groups for the same amount of improvement A report on the experiments says: "The relatively greater efficiency of short periods of practice continuing for many days is in accordance with the results of the study of animals and of speech habits in man, and in dicates that in training to muscular feats, in both animals and man, the length of practice periods required is usually too great for maximum ef ficiency." y."-Scientific American

 There is no longer any doubt that pel- lagra can be cured. Don't delay until it IS too late. It is your duty to consult the resourceful Baughn.
 The symptoms-hands red like sunburn, skin peeling off, sore mouth, the lips, throat and tongue flaming red, with much mucus and choking; indigestion and nausea, either diarrhoea or constipation.
 There is hope; get Baughn's big Free book on Pellagra and learn about the remedy for Pellagra that has at last been found. Address American Compromising O., box 2087, JaEer, Ala, remembering money is refunded in any case where the remedy fails to cure. Adv

Younoest Iron Cross Winner.

The youngest knight to be decor ated with the Iron Cross in Germany is Alfonso Koberle, who is only thir- teen and one-half years of age and who, for that reason, will have to wait two and one-half years before the decoration will be actually pinned on him, says the Boston Post.
 Koberle is the son of a laborer. Owing to his powerful build he was readily accepted among the volunteer bicycle men. His agility and his abil- ity to adjust himself to his environ ment specially fitted him for patrol duty, and he developed special skill in the discovery and observation of hostile positions

Irish Speed.

In Judge McKinley's court they were examining talesmen for the trial of a boy, who had killed his father. The lawyers dwelt mostly on the facts of marriage, paternity and whether there had been insanity in the families of the men under examination.
 When they got around to Michael Mccarthy the wait had been long and he proceeded to whip up.
 Asked the first question he galloped away with this:
 My name is Michael Mccarthy and I live at 1886 Fulton street and I am thirty-fve years old and I am married and have one child and I have never had any insanity in the family and if I had I wouldn't be fool enough to tell you"

INSOMNIA Leads to Madness, if Not Remedied.

Experiments satisfied me, some years ago." writes Topeka woman, that coffee was the direct cause of the insomnia from which 1 suffered ter ribly, as well as extreme nervousness and acute dyspepsia.
 "I had been coffee thinker since childhood, and did not like to think that the beverage was doing me all this harm. But it was, and the time came when I had to face the fact, and protect myself. therefore gave up coffee abruptly and absolutely, and adopted Postum for my hot drink at meals.
 T began to note improvement in my condition very soon after I took on Postum. The change proceeded gradually, but surely and it was a matter of only few weeks before I found myself entirely relieved-the nervousness passed away, my diges- tive apparatus was restored to normal efficiency, and I began to sleep rest fully and peacefully.
 "Thes0 happy conditions have con- tinued during all of the years, and l am safe in saying that I owe them entirely to Postum, for when l began to drink it ceased to use medicines"
 Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich. Read "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs.
 Postum comes in two forms:
 Postum ,Cereal-the original form must be we'll boiled. 15c and 25c pack ages.
 Instant Postum-a soluble powder dissolves quickly in a cup of hot wa ter, and, with cream and sugar, makes delicious beverage instantly. BOG and soc tins.
