Only Two Leqs Left.

Carmargo, in Dewey county, Okla,
has dogs-big dogs, little dogs and in
fact all kinds of dogs, but it has one
that is somewhat of an oddity. This
is dog that travels on two legs.
Several months ago dog belonging
to Mr.. Storey, section foreman of Sup
ply, Okla, was run over by train and
two of his legs cut off. For some time
he was unable to move around, but
now has recovered SO that he can nav.
igate quite handily. The two legs on
which he is forced to walk are both
on one side. He not only walks, but
can also run, and seems to be about
as well able to get around as dog
with four good legs.

ARE YOU DISFlGURED
BY SKIN ERUPTION?

Ptmples, rashes, ringworm, prickly-
heat and worst Of all, that red itch
ing, scaly torment, eczema, vanish
when you use resinol ointment and
resinol soap. There is no doubt about
it. Even though your skin is so
unslghtiy with eruption that you shun
your friends and your friends shun
you, Tesinol usually makes it clear
and healthy, quickly, easily and at
trifllng cost. When you are sick of
wasting time and money on tedious,
expensive treatments, get resinol ONT
ment and resinol soap from the near
est druggist and you will quickly see
why physicians have prescribed them
for twenty years for just such troubles
as yours! Great for sunburn.-Adv.

Chocolate Soldiers.

Captain Bean of the commissionary
branch of the British army in France
reports, says the Westminster Ga.
zette, that Tommy Atkins Is striving
with all his might to live up to George
Bernard Shaw's Chocolate Soldier"
Chocolate sweets and, in fact, sweet
meats of all kinds are in such great
demand that British candymakers are
busy night and day.
From Cairo comes the report that
the Australians stationed there have
absolutely eaten the entire chocolate
supply.
Captain Beams official report says:
Our canteen has five times the de-
mand for sweets and soft drinks that
was expected, and one-tifth the de-
mand for beer"

life that she never stopped these days

self in tones of disgust. The divinity
within her had been touched by an
other divine spark, and famed by the
power of love into a sculptor. And
this sculptor had remolded the
peaked little face of Beauty into the
countenance of a woman so lovely
that those who laughed themselves al

gave her the name of Beauty looked

BEAUTY

When Older Brother first called her
Beauty the whole family laughed
That was rare compliment to Older
Brothers wit, for the family was one
seldom given to mirth But when they
looked from the thin, pinched little
face, with its buttermilk expression,
down the angular young body to the
too long legs, and back again to the
nsragEfy hair the nickname created for
the girl by Older Brother was so in
congruouS that even Mother, who had
never wanted any one of her six chill
dren Qeast of all Beauty could not
help laughing outright. Naturally
Older Brother was much pleased with
himself and saw to it that the name
elung to the little girl all through the
days of her childhood.
The years that came and went made
Beauty no less misnomer, for the
girls face grew smaller and more
pinched and more sour with every one
of them. The youngest and least well
come Of all the unwelcome six at
home she was always pushed aside to
shuttle for herself as best she might,
getting but the frazzled end of every
family deal. In school things were no
better Other children called her
Beauty and roared with laughter until
the girl designated by the name al
ways skunk unhappily away to some
far corner where no one would find
and taunt her.
So Beauty grew up for all the world
like an unlovely, scraggly lstle weed
crowded in among harder plants which
never gave her room to thrive and be
healthy.
When The First Man met her, and
heard someone call her Beauty he fol-
lowed the earlier example of her fam
lily. That is he laughed-almost in
Beauty's very face. And whenever he
was alone and thought of the ungainly
young woman with her sour face, he
laughed again.
Then to keep up his reputation for
doing odd things The First Man paid
court to Beauty.
The girls family was thrown almost
into cachinnating fits, and The First
Mans friends said he must be crazy,
all of which made him the more deter
mined in his attentions.
One day when he was in a particu-
larly spiteful and contrary mood The
First Man asked Beauty to marry him,
and the girl, who was every whit as
Tesentful of the gibes and jest of his
friends and hers said yes.
When they were married they led a
cat and dog life, which was quite to
have been expected. The First Man
called his wife Beauty with a sheer,
and she told him in turn that she had
married him for spite and hated him
cordially, all of which was true enough
to be sure.
One day The First Man told her that
he was going away for long time.
He said her face had made him sick;
that he couldn't stand it any longer.
She spat back a sharp retort and he
went.
After long while Beauty received
a letter from The First Man telling her
he never intended to come back. She
loked in the mirror at her buttermilk
face and told herself quite honestly
that she didn't blame him in the least,
and straightway got her divorce.
y
1t was different with The Second
Man. Beauty never knew how it hap
peped that he gravitated to her unless

THE CHARM
OF MOTHERHOOD
Enhanced By Perfect Physi-
cal Health.

The experience of Motherhood is a try
ing one to most women and marks dis
tlnctly an epoch in their lives. Not one
woman in hundred is prepared or un-
derstands how to properly care for her
self. Of course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at such
times, but many approach the expert
ence with an organism untitled for the
trial of strength, and when it is over
her system has received shock from
which it is hard to recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain
of caring for the child, and a distinct
change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
ahappy and healthy mother of children,
and indeed childbirth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The unexplainable thing is
that, with all the evidence of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting from
an unprepared condition, and with am
pie time in which to prepare, women
will persist in going blindly to the trial.
Every woman at this time should rely
upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, a most valuable tonic and
invigorator of the female organism.
