that come out from that quarter of the

grow into ulcers about the size and

is called the yaws. 1t is contagious

brittle, Partisan Sage Immediately re-
moves the cause, and by toning up
the scalp quickly restores the hair to
its original brilliancy and vigor.

and easily applied treatment that will
never fail to act as real and lasting
benefit to your hair and scalp.

ANCIENT TooTHPIcKS.

The employment Of toothpicks Is very
ancient. In Grote's History of Greece"
we find that Agathocles, among the
worst of Creeks" was poisoned by a
indicated quill handed to him for
cleaning his teeth after dinner.
Toothpicks were in common use in
the time of the Caesars. Martial tells

Toothpicks occur early of silver, but
pieces OF wood or of feathers with a
red end as quilts in our day were most
usual. The toothpick is the Anglo-Sax-
on tothgare. The old name was pick

from Italy and France, and the using
Of it was long deemed an affected
mark of gentiity. 1t was worn as a
trophy in the hat. and Sir Thomas

1t is seldom that a man will admit
that he deliberately and parppsely
became intoxicated. He usually has
an excuse in which are embodied a

his final condition of oblivion and ir.

had any one of the links in the chain
of incidents failed to make its proper
connection he would have punched
the clock at the proper time. And

Copyright, 1915, by w. G, Chapman.)
Some men at the club had brought
up the old problem of wife versus
mother, Which should a man save,
If he we're struggling with them in
the water? Then it was that Merrill
told this story:
"Sotheby had been out boating
with his fiancee, Evelyn, and her lit
tie crippled sister, Mollie," he said.
Il think that problem was still harder.
Ordinarily, of course, his duty would
have been to save his %iancee, but Mol
lie was lame-had been so from birth.
She could walk, after a fashion, but
she couldn't have swan, and she was
far too fsail and delicate to swim for
her life in such a tide as Eight Mile
race.
He knew Evelyn could swim like
a fish, too. The girls we're staying at
North Cliff when he went to see them.
He had met Evelyn a few weeks be-
fore, in town. He knew she and her
sister were orphans. They had hard
ly a relative in the world. Sotheby had
become engaged a week or two before,
and he was madly in love with Eve
Ign, and the envy of all the other
men who admired her dashing beauty.
Il think his |predicament was worse,
It was about half a mile to the land,
and Evelyn could probably have made
1t. Mollie was helpless. Sotheby did
not know what to do. He acted on
impulse. He saved Mollie.
He never knew how the boat had
overturned. He was trying to bring
the tiller around and let the boom go
when they found themselves in the
water, and clinging to the overturned
boat, which was drifting rapidly out
to sea.
He saw Evelyn struggling beside
him, and Mollie sinking. Quick as a
flash Sotheby grabbed Mollie by the
hair. He lost sight Of Evelyn. He
knew he could not save both girls, and
he could not let Mollie go. Alternate
ly swimming and treading water, he
managed, in utter exhaustion, to get
Mollie ashore. Then he tainted.
He awakened in a hsherman's cot
tage, Mollie was upstairs and doing
well. The next day he saw her. He

had not dared to ask about his ~fiancee;
everybody knew she was drowned. To
his establishment Mollie seemed al
most u%nconcerned.
1T was a tiny fishing village, and
the tragedy, though it stirred the
place, was not widely reported. After
Mollie and he had recovered the girl
gave up the little cottage and went
home.
You must let me come an see
you, for Evelyn's sake, said Sotheby.
He was rather astonished when
Mollie r~esolutely refused. I bear you
no Ill will, Jack, and l owe you my
life she said. But l feel that it
would be impossible after-what has
happened
The girls uncanny calmness
shocked John. However, there was
nothing to do but acQuiesce. 1t was a
year before he saw Mollie again. They
met on Fifth avenue, and the recogni-
ton was mutual. Mollie told Jack
Sotheby that she was living with an
old aunt in an apartment uptown.
THAT had been a hard period for
Sotheby. He knew that The shadow
over his life would deepen rather than
disappear, as the years went on. And
yet, strangely enough, he began to
realize that he had not truly loved
Evelyn. Their meeting and engage
ment had been rapid, and there had
been no communion OF tastes between
them. It had been intatuation, and,
in spite Of the tragedy, Jack thought
OF Evelyn as an episode in his life'
rather than his lost love.
when he looked at Molie he was
conscious Of a sudden awakening OF
interest in the frall girl, whose beauty
had developed until she seemed a
replica of Evelyn-less dashing, less
v~ivacious, but the Evelyn whom he
would have loved rather than the one
be- had known.

Farmers Short Course For This

County.
Is this county going to have a
five-day farmers short course
this fall or winter? The Mis-
souri, College of Agriculture has
the men ready to give the work
and dates are being assigned as
fast as the applications go in.
1t is strictly a game of first
come, first served" According
to A. j. Meyer, in charge of ag-
riculture, the calls are going in
earlier than usual, making it
necessary for communities that
want one of these five-day prac-
teal farmers courses to speak
up promptly. Present indica-
tions are that every date will be
taken by September 1.
Five-day farmers courses
have been given by the Missouri
College of Agriculture for the
last three years. They have met
a demand and satisfied it. They
have come to stay. One course
in a community is the signal
for another.
If this county wants one OF
more of these courses, it viii

Don't Experiment.

If you suffer from backache {;
headaches or dizzy spells if you
rest poorly and are languid in
the morning; if the kidney Sc
cretions are irregular and I'M
natural in appearance, do not de-
lay. In such cases the kidneys
often need help.
DOan's Kidney Pills are espec-
tally prepared for kidney trouble
they are recommended by
thousands. Can residents de-
sire more convincing proof of
merit than the statement of a
citizen of this locality?
