TELLS WHY SOME
Can EAT ONIONS
and OTHERS CAN'T
Food Handled in Body, Like Raw
Material in House; System
Has Many Workers.

In order that food may build our
bodies it must be properly digested.
It must be prepared just like mater
ials used in building a house.
Raw materials must be worked
into proper condition and shape for
use. ...
Each different food, like each diff
ferent building material, must be
handled by different workmen, cor
responding to carpenters. plasterers,
paperhangers and painters. After
due preparation, food, like building
material is ready to takes it's place in
our body. That is called assimilation
and explains why some people can
eat potatoes and cannot touch onions,
while others enjoy onions and cannot
eat radishes. Their organs of assimi-
lation are at fault.
It is necessary for every person to
keep the organs Of digestion and as
similation in good health. The con-
stitution demands a variety of foods.
Those who take Tanlac say they
can eat anything without discomfort.
It has relieved hundreds Of thous-
ands of cases of headaches, constipa-
ton, indigestion, dyspepsia, catarrh,
sluggish liver and kidney ailments,
because it induces good digestion
and assimilation.
Men and women, who need better
digestion, more strength and ton
ing up of the nervous system will do
we'll to take Tanlac.
Tanlac is being specially introduce
ed in Leon at Bell & Painters.

dull, happy Seffy saw no flaws in it.
He agreed with his father that he had
out-sat Sam. And, il it had not been
too plainly accidental, he would have
adopted the fancy that he had had q
heroic purpose in it-so convincing was
his fathers logic to his little mind.
The old man ratified on. Seffy must
not think much.
"And snoring! Hah! Messing
nossing at all! | could gife you lessons
in snoring. And you nanny USE to
say that she liked it. 1t wasn't so
lonely and she knowed l was on deck
and .alife. Snoringl Aha-ha-hal
What's that-if you are sure Of the
gall"
Seffy ahemmed several times and
looked less like q condemned male
factor-though still far from suborned.

got to be licked-and if ! got to do it

Sef! Yas-stayed tell daylight Woke

His father was proud Of this last.
As they drew apart he called back:
"If she don't like snoring, Sef, wear
O clothes-pin when you set up wiss
her-one Of them wiss q spring-notf
Aha-ha-ha!" And then: "You all
right, Sef-yassir! you all right-you
the conquering hero comesl Go right
back-mebby tonight-yOu entitled to
do it."
"Begoshens, l will" said Seffy in
his fathers own slogan.
Seffy would have pressed his suit
even without this, think-because OF
those moments in the dark parlor.
One does not soon forget that sort OF
thing.
"Now," advised his father, "you
know well enough what kind OF Q
temper goes wiss red hair-I use TO
haf hair enough onct-and it was red!

"But-he wasn't there-at Sally's?"

and set him on his feet.

OF course Old Baumgartner was well
aware that his logic would not bear the

anxiously as he raced through it. But

CHAPTER vi.
THE cLoTHEs-PIN CURE

\ The old man had plowed six times
around the six-acre field the neat
morning, SINGING and whistling his
unearthiy tune as he went, when
Seffy uniimbered at the bars and started
the big bay around in the opposite
direction. The first time they passed
his father only winked mysteriOusly and
continued to whistle. The next time
he stopped.
awe won't 60 home tell morning,
hah, Sef? usen't to myself. Say
looks like somesing occurred after
all, hah? No one don't stay tell morn
ing unless"
Seffy was silent.
"That's right. Kiss but nefer tell.
For telling breaks the spell. II you've
had one and want another-kiss but
shut your head up. Say-you don't
want TO be no anchel now, ] expect,
hah2 Mebby you otOn one?"
But Seffy and the mare had dis
appointingly passed on.
"Welll Gee-wo-way-geel Git
alongl" And he also made another
furrow-in q less happy temper.
When they met again:
"Whoal" roared the old man, and
the mare stopped-trcmbling in her
tracks. He laughed. Bets still re-
sponded II Seffy did not.
"Sef-Seffy, did anysing occur3"
Seffy faltered guiltily q moment.
"Yes," he said, then briefly, some
thing always occurs"
"Sef-Seffy, but about the pasture
Seffy started the mare.
"Whoal" roared the old man again,
with the same result. But he did not
laugh this time. BE sat on the handles
Of Bis plow and regarded his son. He
was vaguely disturbing.

didn't git sot out?"
"Uhu," answered Seffy.
"Whati Why, you durn-"
But then he laughed.
"Shiny hat no good?"
Seffy said no.
"Nor the diamond, nor the hair
grease, nor nossing? Oh-gosh-a'migh-
tyl Gee-wo-way!"
But before they met again, his gaiety
had given way to an immense disap-
pointment. The tragedy Of the stitua-
tion had prevailed with him, too.
Seffy sullenly kicked clod to pieces.
His father looked off toward the coveted
pasture and sighed. 1t pds a superb
piece Of land. And it had never looked
faircr. The sun was on its velvet green
the sun Of the morning. A few
thick-girthed, wholesome k-treespunct-
uated it. A stream laughed through
it. Goodly cows stood chewing in the
water and swishing amiably at the
flies. The fences were intact. 1t
would have been delight to the eyes
Of any farmer on earth. The old man
sat on the handles Of his plow until it
all got in his head once more.
'.'It's O nice field, Sef-Seffy," ne
sighed. 81 nefer seen no such clofer.
And she's q nice gal. nefer seen no
such gal, bose nice. Oach! they belong
together. Well, gee-wo-way! They
belong to usg"
They always stopped for a word
when they met. The next time the
old man said, quite caressingly:
UHovna x,aro gafIU
He patted one plow-handle, which
Seffy took, while he took the, other.
He thoughtfully pulled the boys shirt
into place.
"Sef," he said, "tell me about it.
Pm sorry l laughed! But ] lOfe that
pasture and you lofe Sally. Let's not
be fools, but git 'em. l expect you feel
a little bad. But mebby you'll feel
better il you talk about it. That is
the way wiss me, / know; when any
sing occurs like to babble about it
and 70 and do it again-better. He let
his hand rest kindly on Seffy's shoulder.
To this his son responded.
81 fell asleep" said Seffy, sniffling
ominously.
"Of course" said his father, with a
comforting movement OF his hand.
THAT'S right"
Seffy was amazed-and comforted.

"Er-yas-you do snore, Sef. Efery-
body does. It's the Lords fault, l
expect"
"Yas-you oughtn't "a set in no
nice cheer, Sef; Somesing uneasy is
better"
"Didn't wake up till daylight"
"Where was you then, Self" -,
"In the cheer-Sal-Sally's cheer"
The words stuck pitifully in his
throat.
"Yas-" said the old man, looking
away, "I don't blame you, Sef."
