 "Oh, I ain't. claimin' to be his father any longer, Tinker sneered. He sent a great cloud of smoke cell
 ingward from the cigar.
 "He's yeller-clean through" he said
 with painful distinctness.
 "It's lier' said Steve hotly. "He"-
 "What are you callin' mel" Tinker shot out at him.
 "What you are!" Steve returned. Steve reeled back from a stunning blow full in the face. Tinker Mullen had been one of the best of his time, but his time was long
 since past. He did manage to bring through two blows on Steve with force enough to make them rather painful;
 then he went crashing backward from
 g straight right from Steve, overturn- ing a chair with a great chatter in his fall
 The noise of that fall reached young Joe in the taxi. Quickly he had alight- ed, sped up the path and torn into the house.
 His father, blood streaming from a
 cut on his upper lip, was just getting
 weakly to his feet in one corner. He
 steadied himself for a moment. and then rushed at Steve. "There ain't no yeller in mel" he bel lowed as he started that charge. Young Joe darted forward between
 them. With one hand he pushed back | bis father, with the other he held back Steve Flanders.
 "Wat'd yer hit him for-an old man
 like him?" Joe demanded, his voice
 choked with wrath. ''You oughter know better than that!' Steve strove to push Joe to one side "He hit me first" he growled. "Any-
 way, you keep outer this. This is be tween him and me. It's for his own good and yours. He ain't had enough yet to knock any sense into him." Hit him, would you?' howled Joe Mullen, seeming fairly beside himself. "Hit me if you wanter, but not him!' Wherewith he leaped at the aston ished Steve.
 If he had been still groggy coming up in the taxi 1t was the quickest recov- cry Steve Flanders had ever seen. Quick as cat, clever and shifty him self, he backed away before veritable whirlwind of blows. They reeled against a table, upset. ting it and sending a gaudy banquet lamp to its ruin; they smashed a plas- ter bust of Aphrodite, which was the pride of Mullen's heart; one of Steve's elbows went through the front win dow, the pane smashing on to the porcE outside with noisy tinkle. And then, even as Tinker watched open mouthed, Joe caught Steve thre" blows on the jaw in such rapid success sion that the eye could scarcely follow them, and down went Steve in heap on the rug.
 Joe, panting, turned to his father II know how you feel, and you're right too. don't blame you. I wouldn't have come back here tonight but for Steve's urging I was ashamed to come. I wouldn't own a son that made such mess of things as did down to the South Side club tonight. Good night. won't trouble you after this" He stepped to the door. But before he could open it his father had him by the arm.
 "Wait!' said Tinker hoarsely. "I've ! misjudged you, Joey. I guess I ain't goin' to let anything like you go out of
 the family, lad that can lay out Steve Flanders like you've just done. Run get me a dipper of water till I bring Steve to. He'll want to be hearin' the l good news.'

A Country of Earthquakes.

Japan is peculiarly the victim of ele- mental forces. The only satisfaction its people can derive from living in Il country which contains fifty-one active volcanoes and has an average of about 500 earthquake shocks yearly is that in all probability Japan would never have existed but for the seismic and volcanic agency which has elevated whole districts above the ocean by means of repeated eruptions.

PRESIDENT PR0ClA|MS
JUNE a FLAG DAY

Washington, .. c., May 3o.--Pres!-
dent Wilson today issued q proclazna-
ton specially. urging the observance
Of Flag Day. June ~, by the holding
OF patriotic exercises. It follows:
BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, A
PROCLAMATION.
My Fellow Countrymen: Many orr
cumetancss have recently conspired to
turn our thoughts to a critical ex-
animation Of the conditions Of our
national life. OF the influences which
have seemed TO threaten to divide us
in interest and sympathy. of forces
within and forces without that seemed
likely TO draw us away from the happy
traditions OF united purpose and ac-
ton of which we have been so proud.
1t has therefore. seemed to me fit-
ting that I should call your attention
to the approach of the anniversary of
the day upon which the flag of the
United States was adopted by the
Congress az the emblem OF the Union.
and to suggest to you that It should
this year and in the years to come be
given special significance as a day of
renewal and reminder, day upon
which we should direct our minds
with a special desire to renewal to
thoughts OF The ideal and prinoip pies of
which we have sought to make our
great government the embodiment. So
i. therefore. suggest and request
that throughout the nation, and. II
possible. In every community, the
fourteenth day of June be observed
as Flag Day, with special patriotic ex-
tunA ~
to give Significant expression to our
thoughtful love of America. our COM
prehension of the great mission OF
liberty and justice to which we have
devoted ourselves as 4 people, our
pride In the history and our enthust-
asm for the political program OF the
nation. our determination to make It
greater and purer with each genera
ton and our resolution to demon
strate to all the world its vital union
in sentiment and purpose. accepting
feel as we DO the ,compulsion OF this
supreme allegiance
Let us on that day rededicate our
selves to the nation. "one and insep-
arabic from which every thought
that is not worthy Of our fathers
first vows OF independence. liberty and
right shall be excluded and In which
we shall stand with united hearts,
for an America which no man can
no influence draw away from
Its ideals. no force divided against
itself-a nation signally distinguished
among all the nations of mankind for
its clear. individual conception alike
of its duties and Its privileges, it's
obligations and it's rights.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, have
hereunto set my hand and caused the
seal Of the United States to be affixed.
Done at the city OF Washington this
thirtieth day OF May. In the year OF
our Lord one thousand nine hundred
and sixteen, and of the independence
OF the United States OF America the
one hundred and fortieth.

Says Indigestion Results From ~
Excess of Hydrochloric
- Acid.

Undigested food delayed In the
stomach decays, or rather. ferments
the same as food left in the open air.
says a noted authority. He also tells
us that Indigestion Ia caused by Hyper
acidty, meaning, there is an excess
OF hydrocbIoric acid In the stomach
which prevents complete digestion
and starts food fermentation. Thus
everything eaten sours in the stomach
much like garbage sours In a can,
forming acrid fluids and gases which
initiate the stomach like toy balloon.
Then we feel heavy. lumpy misery
in the chest, we beIch up gas. we
eructate sour food or have heart
burn, fiatuience, water-brash or
nausea.
He tells us to lay aside all digestive
aids and instead, get from any
pharmacy four ounces of Jad Salts
and take a tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast and drink while
1T is effervescing and Furthermore, to
continue this for a week. While relief
follows the first dose. 1t is Important
to neutralize the acidity, remove the
gasmaking mass, start the liver,
stimulate the kidneys and thus pro-
mote free flow of pure digestive
juices.

made from the acid of grapes and
