You wouldn't like to change

went on speaking before the girl
could answer. "If you would, I'd
like you to come over and take
charge of my affairs. You have the
method that l have been searching

Asked Jimmy the office boy with
delightful impudence.
She smiled Jimmy was q good

who worked under her and assisted
her with the unimportant detail.
Marion Burke wondered now why
she had always taken her employers S
part whenever these friendly little
discussions had taken place, but she
was resolved to say nothing openly,
and she smiled into Jimmy's freckl-
ed face and nodded.
About four-thirty that afternoon
Jimmy came into the office and
asked her if she would like to see
Mr.. Briggs.
Marion looked up wondering if
the boy was joking, but his freckled
face held only friendly interest. and
she asked quickly:
Does Mr.. Briggs want to see
me?"
"Yup, he's out there now"
ASK him to come right in Jimmy,
please" and she rose slowly from
her desk as the great man came
into the room.
How do you do-Miss Burke. isn't
it?' he said in his bluff, hearty way,
so different from Mr.. Evans suave

sition to make to you. You did most
of the work that Mr.. Evans is busy

BY JANE MCLEAN

She came out of the inner office
and closed the door softly. The min
ute she found herself alone, her
hands clenched, and she sank into
chair swallowing convulsively,
Sheer fury possessed her, and the fact
that she was powerless to help her
self made her everyday manner of
dependency and absolute calm all
the more at variance with her char
acter.
She had timed her proposal well,
and the thought that she would fail
had not bothered her overmuch. She
knew that Mr.. Evans was hard
man to work for, but she knew that
her position was unique, and she
thought he realized it too. Even now
she was perfectly sure that he real
lied it, but She had no way of prov
ing this, for his quiet words had
assured her that she was being paid
all that she was worth.
The interview had taken only a
few minutes.
What can do for you this morn
ing, Miss Burke?" he had said turn
ing to her in his never falling cour-
tesy of manner.
Il should like to speak about the
matter of an increase" she had said,
coming to the point instantly.

II am paying you all | can afford,
Miss Burke he had said finally
after she had placed the matter be-
fore him.
But I want to advance, I have
been paid the same salary nearly
two years. l should like to feel that
! am getting somewhere" She had
protested. knowing all the time that
nothing she could say would make
the slightest difference.
Il believe that very few private
secretaries are getting more than
you are getting right now. But If
you are not satisfied you are at
liberty to try somewhere else" And
this was what hurt the girl far
worse than anything else. The fact
that she had thought herself of inn
portance in his business life was
only a figment of her imagination.
She had worked hard for his success
and he was ready and willing to en-
gage another secretary.
1t smote the girl like a physical
blow, and without another word she
had turned and left the office.
There had been just q few minutes
of giving way when she found her
self alone. but after that everything
went on as usual.
She began sorting the briefs and
making notes on their contents. All
of this work was of a private nat
ure, and of the kind not generally
entrusted to even the best of pri-
vate secretaries. Once she had
glanced up when Mr.. Evans had
come out of his private office and
had gone out to lunch with Rodney
Briggs 1t was for this man that
all the extra work had been under
taken, and 1t was this man that
Evans wanted to do business with

Dangerous Gas and Acids That
Hurt the Stomach the Food
Cause Dyspepsia, Indigestion
Recommends A Safe Way To Treat Stomach Trouble
At Home.

Many stomach sufferers who are
always full of gas and whose stom-
achs burn with acid after nearly
every meal think these things are
the RESULT of indigestion when in
reality they are the CAUSE.
1t Is just as foolish to give arti-
fetal digestents such as pepsin, etc,
to a stomach full of gas and acid
as 1T would be for man who had
stepped on a tack to rub liniment
on his foot without removing the
tack.
Some stomachs generate too
much gas and acid. Gas distends
the stomach walls causing a full,
bloated oppressive feeling while
the acid irritates and infiames the
lining of the stomach. Naturally the
food ferments and sours, digestion
is often delayed and stomach mis-
cry is the result. Artificial digest
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1917-09-11

ents will push this sour. ferment-
ing mass into the intestines and so
relieve the stomach pain but the
acid still remains in the stomach
to generate more gas and produce
more trouble at the next meal.
If you are using digestive aids
after meals drop them for a while
and instead get a few 5-grain tab
let's of pure bisurated magnesia
from G. A. Gorgas or any druggist
and take two with each meal. Bis
urated Magnesia does not digest
food but will neutralize the excess
sive acid in your stomach, keep the
food sweet and will drive the gas
and bloat right out of your body.
As Magnesia is prepared In various
forms be sure to get Bisurated
Magnesia for this purpose as 1t is
not a laxative and in this refined
form will not injure the stomach
in any way.

PROFIT 20 TIMES TOO LARGE

WASHINGTON, July g. Rep orting to
the Senate today on it's invest igation of
the sudden rise in price of Am rican FLAGS
at the time the country entered the war,
the federal trade commission express ed
the opinion that some legislation should
protect the public against unreasonable
prices resulting not only from unlawful
agencies but from abnormal conditions as
we'll.
When the wave of patriotism swept
the country prices of flags doubled and
trlpled, and senators charged that flag
makers and merchants simply were
"gouging" the public.
Inc commission reported that the rise
was due to unprecedented demand and
attempts by an assertion of flagmakers to
fix prices.
The report points out that while the
cost OF materials has not increased more
than o0 per cent. in the last year, the
margin OF manufacturers on new business
has been 800 per cent. Some retail dealers
have realized 400 per cent. profit.
Nine hundred per cent profit between
the web and the buyer is certainly
pretty deep gouge. After the flags were
sold report by high cost commission
does not amount to much We get robbed
by somebody almost evey time we open
our pocketbook. We shall have to
stand new swindle tomorrow and an
other one next day. Congress NAV not
heed the demands of the people till the
soup house feeds few hundred thousand
voters.

FOR FLETcHER'S
CAST0RIA
FACTS WORTH KNOWING

An easy and convenient way to handle
hot cloths in case of sickness is to put
two or three of them in steamer, keep
ing the water in the lower part constant
ly boiling. This saves wringing.
Butter put on grass stain will remove
the stain without injury to the fabric and
save lots of rubbing.
One teaspoonful of sweet cream added
to frosting will prevent crumbling when
cut.
Blueberries dried as you would apples
or apricots are very nice for cakes and
pies. Keep them in glass jar.
Try using glass of pineapple MARINA
lade to soften the sugar instead of cream
when making a cake and see how deli
cious it is.
A rubber hot water bottle can be clean
ed by merely rubbing it with piece of
flannel which has been dipped in hot
water and well soaped Then dry with
a soft cloth and the rubber will look like
new.
The most satisfactory way to clean
suede shoes, gloves or bags is with very
fine emery cloth. Just rub the article
gently with a circular movement. Its
better and cheaper than gasolene or ben
zine, and it does not leave "patchy'
appearance.
An excellent way to clean a smoke
blackened ceiling is to make fairly thick
paste of starch and water, apply this
with pad of flannel and allow it to dry
on, then brush off with soft brush and
you will find the result well worth the
trouble.
