.CASCARETS ALWAYS
STAAIGXTkN YOU Up
II Costive, Headachy, Bilious, Stomach
Sour, Breath Bad-Clean Your
Liver and Bowels.

Get lO-cent box now.
You men and women who can't get
feeling right-who have headache,
coated tongue, foul taste and foul
breath, dizziness, can't sleep, are bill
Gus, nervous and upset, bothered with
a sick, gassy, disordered stomach, or
have backache and feel worn out.
Are you keeping your bowels clean
with Cascarets, or merely forcing a
passage every few days with salts,
cathartic pills or castor oil?
Cacarets work while you sleep;
cleanse the stomach, remove the sour,
undigested, fermenting food and foul
gases; take the excess bile from the
liver and carry out of the system all
the constipated waste matter and poi
son in the bowels.
A Cascaret tonight will straighten
you out by morning-a 10-cent box
from any drug store will keep your
stomach sweet; liver and bowels reg
ular, and head clear for months. Don't
forget the children. They love Cas-
carets because they taste good-never
pripe or sicken.

the evenings together. That she was
his fathers secretary was of no mo-
ment. To him she was Lydia-his
Lydia.
For the past three months or more
he had been privileged to hold her
close in his arms and to kiss her good
night at parting! They were lovers
now. The slow fuse of passion had
reached its end and the flame was
alive and shining with "A radiance that
enveloped both of them.
on this night, however, he passed
her door without knocking. His dark,
handsome face was flushed, and his
teeth were set in sullen anger, With
his hand on the knob OF his own door,
he suddenly remembered that he had
failed Lydia for the first time, ana
stopped. A pang of shame shot through
him for moment he hesitated and
then started guiltily toward the for
gotten door. Even as he raised his
hand to sound the loving signal, the
door was opened and Lydia, fully
dressed confronted him. For a mo-
ment they regarded each other in 81
lence, she intently, he with astonish'
ment not quite free from confusion.

gan, his first desire being to account
for his oversight.
Tell me what has happened? 1t
can't be that your father is Ill, or III
danger. You are angry, Frederic; SO
it can't be that. What is it?'
He looked away sullenly. "Oh, it's
really nothing, suppose. Just an
unexpected jolt, that's all. | was an
cry for a moment
"You are still angry" she said, lay
ing her hand on his arm. She was a
tall, slender girl. Her eyes were al
most on a level with his own. Don't
you want to tell me, dear?'
He never gives me thought" he
said, compressing his lips. He thinks
of no one but himself. God, what a
father!"
FREDDY, dear! You must no,
speak"

consideration? Is it fair that | should
be ignored in everything, in every

I'm not a child. I'm a man and | am
his son. Cad, | might as well be a dog
in the street for all the thought he
gives to me-"
She put her finger to her lips, a
scared look stealing into her dark
eyes. Jones was conducting the two
old men to their room on the floor be
low. A door closed softly. The
voices died away.
"He is strange man. she said
"He is a good man, Frederi2.'
"To everyone else, yes But to me;
Why, Lydia, II believe he hates me
You know what"

murmured, stroking his cheek with
cold, trembling fingers,

hand over his mouth.
She kissed him swiftly. Her cheek
lay for a second against his own and

broke away from him. An instant

closed.

picnic trip, and while attempting to

killed. His body was terribly burned
all over, and his clothes set on fire.

Probably a majority Of thoughtful
people outside Of Mexico would like to
see the man Carranza given half q
chance to make good. Stubborn and
cratic he may be at times, but his
main course has been consistent. A
better man can easily be imagined, but
the two years of his leadership have
failed to develop even the equal, to
say nothing of the superior, Of Made
ro's avenger.
