him. "Your country is about to have
war with your ancient enemy to the

active eyes lighting with pleasure.

ancient enemy"
"The banking system of my country

that system. / am patriot" and he
tapped himself upon the breast with
deep and sincere feeling.
How much revenue does your po-
sition yield you personality"
A shade of sadness crossed the
brow of the neat-waisted caller.
1T does not yield you this much, ;"
and Allison pushed toward him a lit
tie slip Of paper on which were In
scribed some figures.
The callers eyes widened as they
read the sum. He smiled. He shrugged
his shoulders He pushed back the
slip of paper.
IF your banking system found 1t
impossible to be patriotic, your gov
eminent would be compelled to raise
money through other means. 1t would
not withdraw from the war"
"Never!" and the neat-waister caller
once more touched himself on the
breast.

some understanding among their
bankers, found it difficult to provide
this loan. your government would find
it necessary to release its ownership.

The caller, who had followed AL
lison's progressive statement with in
terest. gave quick little nod of his
head
"That most valuable commercial
possession" went on Allison. sis the
state railways. You were convinceG by
my agent that there is a news and
powerful force in the world, or you

out that it is possible to so cramp
your banking system that you could

STRINGS in the world. Money! From
the land which was it's home and place
of abode it leaned over across the
wide seas, and made potent whisper
ings in the ears of the countries where
money is despised and held vulgar
They all listened. The particular po-
tency lay in the fact that the money
was so big, which took away tremen-
dously from it's despicableness and it's
vulgarity.
A black-bearded grand duke, from
the wide land Of the frozen seas hum
bled himself to plain Ivan Strolesky

ried westward. A high dignitary of an
empire upon which the sun never sets
hid his title under a plebeian nom de
plume, and stalked stolidly away west

American money. From the land Of
fashion, from the land of toys, from
the land of art and music, from the
land of cherry blossoms, from the land
of the browsing drug, from the land of
the flashing jewels, from the lands Of
the burning sands and the lands of the
midnight sun, there came the highest
of power; and they all, light and
swarth, and bearded and smooth. and

SYRUP OF FIGS FOR
A CH|LD'S BOWELS
1t is cruel to force nauseating,
harsh phySic into a
sick child.

! Look back at your childhood days.
Remember the dose mother insisted
on-castor oil, calomel, cathartics.
How you hated them, how you fought
against taking them.
With our children it's different.
Mothers who cling to the old form of
phys1c simply don't realize what they
do. The children's revolt is well-found-
ed. Their tender little "insides" are
injured by them.
If your child's stomach, liver and
bowels need cleansing, give only deli
cious California Syrup of Figs" It's
action is positive, but gentle. Millions
Of mothers keep this harmless fruit
laxative" handy; they know children
love to take it; that it never fails to
clean the liver and bowels and sweet
en- the stomach, and that a teaspoonful
given today saves a sick child tomor-
row.
Ask at the store for a 50-cent bottle
Of California Syrup of Figs" which
has full directions for babies, children
of all ages and for grown-ups plainly
on each bottle. Adv.

large and small, and robed and trou-
sered, centered toward the city of
strong men, and, one by one. presented
themselves, in turn, to grave and
silent, kinky-haired old darby by the
name of Ephraim.
One motive alone had dragged them
over sterile plains and snowy noun
tains and bounding seas; the magic
whisper of Money!
Through Ephraim they came to the
stocky, square-standing, square-faced
chess player who was called Allison.
They found him pleasant, agreeable,
but hardly of their class. He was so
forceful as to be necessarily more or
less crude, and he had an unpleasant
fashion of waving aside all the decent
little pretenses about money. That
was the fault of this whole rude coun-
try, where luxury had been brought to
the greatest refinement ever known in
the history of the world; it was SO
devoted to money, and the cultured
gentlemen did their best to get all
they could.
To Ivan Strolesky Allison was frank
and friendly, for there was something
in the big Russian which was different
Rom these others, so he fastened to
have business out of the way.
Here are your lines," he said,
spreading down q map which had been
brought up to date by hand. "The
ones want are checked in blue. The
others l do not care for"
The grand duke looked them over
with keen eye.
81 am rather disappointed" he con-
fessed in excellent English. Il had
understood that you wished to controI
our entire railway system"
az do" assented Allison; "but don't
wish to pay out money for them all.
Ii can acquire the lines | have
marked, the others will be controlled
quite easily from the fact that shall
have the only outlet"

He studied her In silence for mo-
ment. and then he put his hands on
ner cheeks. and drew her gently
towards him. Still smiling into his
eyes. she held up her lbs. and he
kissed her.
I'd like to say something jolly be-
fore co." he said as he rose; "but
can't seem to think of it,"
Gail laughed, but there was a trace
OF moisture in her eyes as she took
his arm.
I'd like to help you out, Dicky. but
can't think of it either" she re-
turned.
She was crying a little when she
went up the stairs, and her mood was
not even interrupted by the fact that
Aunt Helen's door was ajar. and that
Aunt Helen stood just beyond the
crack.
Why, child, that Egyptian black is
running" was Aunt Helen's first OBJ
servation.
Gail dabbed hastily at the two tiny
r1vuiets which had hesitated at the
curve of her pink cheeks, and then she
put her head on Aunt Helen's shout
der. and wept softly.
Poor Dicky." she explained. and
then turning, disappeared into her
own room.
Mrs. Helen Davies looked after her
speculatively for a moment; but she
decided not to follow.

Everyone Should
Drink Hot Water
in the Morning
Wash away all the stomach, Iiv-
er, and bowel poisons be-
fore breakfast.

To feel your best day in and day
out, to feel clean inside; no sour bile
to coat your tongue and sicken your
breath or dull your head; no constipa-
ton, bilious attacks, sick headache,
colds, rheumatism or gassy, acid stom-
ach, you must battle on the inside like
you battle outside. This is vastly
more important. because the skin
pores do not absorb impurities into
the blood, while the bowel pores do,
says well-known physician.
To keep these poisons and toxins
well flushed from the stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels, drink before
breakfast each day, a glass of hot wa
ter with teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it. This will cleanse,
purify and freshen the entire alimen-
tary tract, before putting more food
into the stomach.
Get a quarter pound of limestone
phosphate from your druggist or at
the store. 1t is inexpensive and al
most tasteless, except a sourish
tinge which is not unpleasant. Drink
phosphated hot water avery morning
to rid your system Of these vile poi
sons and toxins; also to prevent their
formation.
To feel like young folks feel; like
you felt before your blood, nerves and
muscles became saturated with an ac-
emulation of body poisons, begin this
treatment and above all, keep it up!
AS soap and hot water act on the skin,
cleansing, sweetening and purifying,
so limestone phosphate and hot water
before breakfast, act on the stomach,
liver, kidneys and bowels.-Adv.

Rabies Not Limited to Any seaso

Rabies Not Limited to Any Season.
According to DR.. o. Mcdaniel, Dog
Days" do not infiueNce the occurrence
of rabies. The important point, how
ever, 10 that anyone bitten by a dog
suspected of being rabid, regardless
of the season of the year. should re-
ceive proper attention.
The suspected dog should be kept
under observation for at least two
weeks. If it remains well, rabies is
excluded. If it becomes sick or dies,
the head should be examined by the
Pasteur Department of the State
Board of Health, ana the individuals
bitten should report at the depart
ment for treatment.
Rabies is usually fatal TO dogs in
from three to five days after the first
symptoms are observed individuals
bitten by rabid dogs, unless under
treatment, become sick in from nve
to nine weeks. The popular belief
that individuals may develop symp-
toms several months or years later
is as false as the belief that Dog Days
cause mad dogs.

ATTILA, .sCouRGE OF GOD"
Mighty Leader Of the Huns az He

| The great French historian, Niche

the mighty Hun, who in the fifth CEN
fury met defeat which curbed his
progress and threw him and his horde
back to eastern Europe. His true ORR

unchanged in the German tongue, was

''stern and grave, short, thick set and
strongly built, fat-nosed his broad
face pierced with two fiery holes. >"
Continuing he says: after all, what
would this Tartar have gained by con-
quering the Roman empire? He would
have felt himself stifled in those
walled cities and palaces of marble.
Far better he loved his wooden viii

He called Attila into Gaul against the
Goths of Toulouse. Attila's passage
was marked by the ruin of Metz and

iod may afford some idea of the i'm
preston which that terrible event left

TAKE SALTS TO FLUSH
KIDNEYS If BACK HURTS
Says Too Much Meat Forms Uric Acid
Which Clogs the Kidneys and
Irritates the Bladder.

Most folks forget that the kidneys,
like the bowels, get sluggish and clog
ged and need flushing occasionally,
else we have backache and dull misery
in the kidney region, severe head
aches, rheumatic twinges, torpid liver,
acid stomach, sleeplessness and all
sorts Of bladder disorders.
You simply must keep your kidneys
active and clean, and the moment you
FEEL an ache or pain in the kidney
region, get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from any good drug store here,
take a tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast for few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, com.
bined with lithia, and is harmless to
flush clogged kidneys and stimulate
them to normal activity. It also neu-
tralizes the acids in the urine so it
no longer irritates, thus ending blad.

Jad Salts is harmless; inexpensive;
makes delightful effervescent lithia-
water drink which everybody should
take now and then to keep their kid
neys clean, thus avoiding serious COM
plications.

sells lots Of Jad Salts to folks who be-
lieve in overcoming kidney trouble
while it is only trouble.-Adv.
