And for PHYS sake be ready on
time" Warren had said as he left that
morning. Their machine had been
repaired and Warren had suggested a
trip up through the Berkshires.
We had better start before it gets
too cold" he had said when he had
announced to Helen that the car was
finished. 'I have been planning a
trip all Fall"
"How NICE dear; the hills must be
beautiful now," Helen had said en-
Enthusiastically, with never a remark
about the car, and never a sugges-
ton that she remembered all that
had happened. Whether Warren did
or not remains to be seen, but suffice
it to say he kissed her rather more
tenderly than usual when he left-in
the mans calendar of right and
wrong a sure panacea for wounded
souls.
They were to start that afternoon
and at noon Helen had the two bags
all packed and was ready to take
her bath and dress. This time she
was determined that nothing would
happen to delay Warren a minute,
The door bell rang and she went
herself to open it. 1t was Warren.
Have you seen anything of those
tubes?" he inquired Grossly.
What tubes, dear?"
Those inner tubes" Warren was
rummasing meanwhile in the hall
closet and emerged few minutes
later with two dirty tubes in his
hand.
"WilI you be home to lunch, War
REM" called Helen from her bed
room
NO, I just came back for these.
] guess there won't be any lunch for
me to-day. Too many things to
think Of
"I'n keep something for you,
NO. don't bother, 1 won't have
time to eat anything" and the door
slammed.
Helen went on with her dressing
and at IL o'clock called Winifred
and went in to lunch. After lunch
she dressed leisurely, and was ready
TO leave when the telephone rang.
WaTrens Mother Us
Suddenly Taken Ill.
Hello. who is it?" she said going
to the telephone.
rs this you, Helen?"
Yes; who is this, Carrie?" Helen's
heart sank and she swallowed ner-
vously. Carrie never called up un-
less something disagreeable was
about to happen.
rs anything wrong?" she contin-
ued as naturally as possible.
'Warren'S mother is very SICK,
Helen. You'd better tell him to
come up right away"
Helen was shocked at the news.
Much as she detested old Mrs. Cur
It's, she felt dreadfully for Warren
in a case of this kind.
"Oh, what is it, Carrie? 1t must be
very sudden"
Yes, it is sudden; she has had n
cold and was taken with fever
last night. The doctor pronounced
it pneumonia, and she is very
weak
'I'u call up Warren right away,
Carrie, and we will both be up as
soon as we can get there"
Helen hung up the receiver and
then called Warren's number.
Mr.. Curtis was not at his office.

gone out to the garage, about an

Simple Harmless Remedy Brings Quick

a discovery made by DR.. Eugene How

prescription, which is totally different
from all usual methods of treatment
for these Affections, is called OXidaZe
and comes in the form of a tablet which
the patient allows to dissolve slowly
in the mouth. It's curative. healing
juices thus mingle with the saliva and
enter every crevice of the irritated
bronchial membranes, release the mus
cular construction of the bronchial
tubes, open up the air passages and
regulate the spasmodic lung action.
These tablets. though pleasant to the
taste, are so powerful and rapid in their
action that many users who for years
were obliged to sit up in bed gasping
for breath and unable to sleep report
that they now put a single Oxidaze
tablet in their mouth when going to
bed and can then lie down and breathe
easily and naturally and get a good

BABY TURNS OUT TO BE THREE
Father Learns of TripIetS' Birth by
Arithmetical Progression

Hampstead. L. l., Dec. 16.-Herman
Pels, superintendent of the Belmont
Park racetrack, was gazing sadly at
the snow-covered oval yesterday and
thinking of the woes OF a racetraclx
man in the winter, when the eldest
of his four children bounced over TO
him and chortled:
Papa, I've got little sister"
Pels came out of his gloom and
beamed and started for the house on
the run. When he got half way there
another of his young hopefuls trotted
up and murmured:
Papa, we've got two little sisters"
Pels ran faster, but before he got in
the door it opened and the nurse met
him with a smile and the words:
'Mr. Pels, there are three, and the
last is a SON."
Mr.. Pels is very happy. Not even
the snow bothers him now.

Don't Merely "StOp" a

Stop Itself

A cough is really one of our best
friends. 1t warns us that there is in
hammation or obstruction in a danger
Gus place. Therefore, when you get q
bad cough don't proceed to dose yourself
with lot of drugs that merely "stop'
the cough temporarily by deadening the
throat nerves. Treat the cause-heal the
tnhamed membranes. Here is a home
made remedy that gets right at the cause
and will make an obstinate cough vanish
more quickly than you ever thought pos
sible.
Put 21a ounces of Pinex $50 cents
WORTHY in pint bottle and fill the bottle
with plain granulated sugar syrup. This
gives you full pint of the most pleasant
and effective cough remedy you ever used,
at a cost of only Sd cents. No bother to
prepare. Full directions with Pinex.
It heals the infamed membranes so
gently and promptly that you wonder
how it does it. Also loosens dry, hoarse
or tight cough and stops the formation of
phlegm in the throat and bronchial tubes,
thus ending the persistent loose cough.
Pinex is highly concentrated com.
pound of Norway pine extract, rich in
guaiacol. and is famous the world over
for its healing effect on the membranes.
To avoid disappointment, ask your
druggist for "21R ounces of PineX," and
don't accept anythino else. A guarantee
of absolute satisfaction, or money prompt
" refunded. goes with this preparation.

Every variation of the yoke skirt is
smart, but this one is especially attract
i've for the reason that it includes panels
which can be extended for full. length or
cut off at the edge of the yoke as found
more becoming. When cut full length,
the panels give an effect of height and
slenderness which often is desirable and
women who prefer a complete yoke will
find it easy to accomplish the. change.
There are only four pieces in the skirt i;
the full sides are joined to the
yoke, while the full length panels
are arranged over it and the shorter
panels are Joined to the lower edge.
Since the pattern is a new one, with both
the seams and the basting line, there is
really no labor worth considering re-
quired for the cutting and the making. In
the picture, the yoke is braided with
soutache and that treatment is much liked,
but as a matter of course, it could be
trimmed in any other way or be left
plain, or, the yoke could be made of a
different material from the skirt.

he would rather write than do most
anything else, and one of the reasons
why he accepted President Wilson's ap-

because he thought he would have con-

If You Have Catarrh

Breathe Hyomei Four Times a Day and
Watch Results. Gives Prompt Relief.

The pleasantest, most convenient and most
scientific method for the treatment of catarrh
is Hyomei Simply put few drops of Hyomei
in the inhaler that comes with every complete
package and then breathe its air for few
minutes. four times day.
1t seems remarkable that so simple a way of
treating catarrh will effect such quick relief,
but the most important discoveries of science
have always been the simplest. By breathing
Hyomei in this way every particle of air that
enters the air passages of the throat and head
and goes into the lungs is charged with heal
ing balsam that kii,s the germs and baAlli Of
catarrh and soothes and alays all irritation.
The first days use of ayomei will show an
Improvement and in short time there should
be no further trouble from catarrh Its action
is rapid and lasting.
You take no risk in buying Hyomei. A COM

you can say that it has not helped you A. A.
howes & Co. will return your money. What
other treatment for catarrh is sold under a
