"Where could 1 go? l know in all
the world only you four, and old Hen

has gone into a convent in France. I
SHALL stay here with you ALL"
SO it was settled.
That was an eventful evening. with
Elinor, misty-eyed, moving into her fa-
TIERS chair at the table, and the band
swearing the simple oath Of allegiance
which held them together. And when
they had moved from the dining room,
Walter Huff, following ElinOr out onto
the terrace, told her he loved her.
The starlight above, and those near
er stars that outlined the streets be-
low, threw a soft radiance over her.
She was dressed in white; old Hilary

"Not that surely. I was only think

"Of what?"
"Oh, of different things-of the peo-
pie down there in their houseS-their
lives, the things they believe; we think
they are narrow, but I wonder, after
all, if you and I, who believe none of
those things, are not the narrow ones"
Huff was not subtle. Possibly he

her.

She was rather shocked at first. She

There was no doubt of the boys sim

went into them. Except for the father
who was gone, this was the first love
that had come into her life. She took
it hungrily. In the starlight she held
up her lips like child for his kiss. -.

forty.
The very slender girl he is certain
will dwindle into skin and bone, which
he abhors.
The girl with q doll face he is sure
is a fright if all her makeup were
rubbed away. He would doubt any
ones word she didn't paint.
The girl who likes music would
make home so uncomfortable with eter-
nal screeching and banging on the
piano that marriage would be failure
for the most patient man in the world.
And as for q genius-oh, dear no!
Not for Joe! She'd insist on wearing
her husbands coat boots and all. The
girl who is all force of character would
place her husband at the foot of his
dining table.
So it goes down through all the list.
He looks for their faults, picking flaws,
but he does not look for the virtues
of each and every one, which more
than balance in the right direction.
The only way a man can study the
subject of woman is at close range
by marrying. Even at that, he may
live half a lifetime and find new and
charming traits about her he never
dreamed she possessed. What man
really does not know about woman
would fill volumes. OF the guesses
he has made concerning them his ar
rows have struck wide of the mark.
Bachelors should not discourage Cupid.

Elinor lived alone after the funeral.
Henriette, who had now chance to
practice her favorite vice of thrift, was
for sending away the other servants.

But Elinor protested.

"That is better than having one

So Elinor had her way. The Satur-

September, Boroday coming with in
finite caution from his cheap boarding
house in the South side, Talbot and
Lethbridge from the bachelor apart

Huff was late.

the whole swarm will follow her. If
more than one queen bee is foNnd in
the nest they fight among themselves

becomes the queen of the colony. The
only exception to this is when & colony
becomes too large for the one queen

The Man Who Wins.

The man who wins is the man who goes
Ahead with his work each day;
Who's never struck by his adverse luck
But makes of his labors play;
FrorA early dawn he will toll right on,
And know that the worlds all right
And he sings a song as he goes along.
For 1t sharpens his appetite.
The man who wins is the man who smiles
And sees that the sky is blue;
He is always there with great big share
OF smiles and of sunshine, too;
He never growls, and he never howls
That the world is out of gear
But he meets the shocks and the jealous
knocks
With a great, broad smile of cheer.
The man who wins is the willing man,
Who grinds while others play;
The sun shines bright and his hearts al
right.
Though things may not come his way.
He makes n boast that to get the most
OF life you must just dig in.
And work away ev'ry newborn day,
If you ever expect to win.

FOOD AND EFFECT ON
TUBERCULOSIS
BY Dr.. Samuel G. Dixon,
Commissioner of Health of Pennsyi-
vania.


<%$<%<<<%<<<%<<<*<<<<<*<<<
While tuberculosis is caused by
well-known germ, we often have
right to be suspicious of its coming
from want of proper nOuriShmcnt.
This would seem to be a forerunner
of the true disease of tuberculosis.
This want of nourishment is to be
accounted for in several ways. The di-
gestive system may be naturally weak; ;
that is, born weak it may have been
strong in early life but abused by the
use of alcohol, eating rapidly when
physically or mentally tired, or by
gulping food without proper chewing
or masticatiGn.
A plunge bath just after eating will
often arrest digestion. The drinking
of ice water during meal, or iced tea
or coffee, will reduce the temperature
of the stomach so that the natural
process of digestion is interfered with.
AS result the food is not properly
prepared for the organs to absorb it.
Therefore it Is not taken up by the
blood stream as it travels through the
system of arteries to build up the diff
ferent tissues of the body.
The increase of tuberculosis of late
in Belgium, in France, and other war
ring countries is largely due to the
want of the things that nature de-
mands for building up healthy bodies.
We must have some nitrogen in the
form of meat or eggs or beans. We
must have some fats. And we must
have some starches. Otherwise the
body will be partly starved and dis
ease germs will thrive in the different
tissues. This occurs more often in the
lungs than anywhere else, but there
is hardly an organ in the body that
will not, under certain conditions, be-
come tuberculOuS.
1t is to be hoped that here in Amer
lea, where we have such a variety of
climates and of soil, we shall be able
to keep up general food supply and
shall not be restricted in any of those
things which nature requires. They
will reduce our power to produce food
stuffs, munitions of war, and all of
those things that are essential for our
living.
One great drawback in fighting the
battle against tuberculosis is that it
is not recognized early enough for us
to combat it successfully. The recog-
milton of tuberculosis requires a spe-
cial medical training We have tuber-
culous cases finding their way into fed
eral service through various paths.
This is because we are confronted with
great necessity to form an army
and navy in q short space of time, and
those responsible for this onerous work
are unable to get special training in
diagnosing this widespread disease.
We who are unable to go to the
front because of being too young or too
Old, or physically defective, will have
20 take the responsibility of keeping
up the home conditions. We must see
that foodstuffs are produced for all,
not only at home but for the faithful
and brave who have gone to the front
to risk their lives for the continued
freedom of America.

The first of the new fall suits and
the last of those for summer invite
comparison in the picture above. 1t
will be seen that they have several
points in common but that the fall
model shows departures in the direc-
tfon of greater length in coats, in the
matter of trimming and in trim, def
mite lines, that give the figure smart,
well-set-up look.
The fall suit is made Of gaberdine
in dark blue with black silk braid and
bone buttons used on the coat for dec
grafton. The skirt in this suit, as in
nearly all the new models for fall, is
plain, finished with a hem and cut
about ankle length. The rule for length
is six or eight inches above the floor,
SO the day of the very short skirt ap-
pears to have departed. 1t Is not so
definitely relegated to the past as the
long skirt for street wear. That is
a folly to which women are not likely
to return.

EDDIE PLANK UNABLE TO
REALIZE HIS AMBITION
Greatest of Southpaws Not Likely to
See Twenty Years of Service in
the Big Leagues.

Eddie Plank's pet ambition-to fig
ure in baseball's "big ring" as a pitch
er' for twenty years-will probably
never be realized.
Plank started out this season with
the Browns, hopeful that his good old
salary souper would hold out. At the
San Antonio training camp of Fielder
Jones' men Plank worked with the
care that is exercised by all seasoned
pitchers in getting the old wing into
shape. He nursed his arm along for
nearly month before he made an at
tempt to steam the ball across the
pan, and when the season opened he
was ready, or thought that he was.
But Plank was due to be sadly dis
appointed. In his first two or three
starts he found that the cunning of the

Don't Crowd Your Mind!

There are some people who are so
greedy to learn and to achieve that
they keep their minds and nerves at
high tension during every minute of
their waking hours. This is sad mis-
take and sooner or later is almost GER
tain to result in general breakdown.
It is folly to take life so seriously as
all that. The man who tries to remem-
Der everything he sees, hears and reads
is likely to become confused at the
very time when clear thinking becomes
n vital necessity. He will suffer from
mental indigestion because he has
failed to put Il brake on his intellectual
appetite. having Invited into his life a
vast nU!ai,eF Of minor issues which

The coat is almost three-quarter
length and heralds the advent Of
longer coats with suits for fall and
winter. The insert of rows Of braid
over the hips also reflects a style fea-
ture which is evidenced in many mod
els, and this is the emphasis of this
portion of the new coats with decora-
tions. Large pockets still play an i'm
portant part in coat schemes along
with wide cape collars, surmounted by
smaller collars and a careful use Of
buttons. In the last regard the new
suits are an improvement upon spring
designs in which designers went to
such lengths in the prodigal use Of but
tons that handsome suits were really
cheapened by them.
New models in tailored suits are
rarely without decoration of some sort.
Broad fur, fur fabrics, velvet and but
tons are all used on them, but with
much moderation.

Freedom of Press in Japan.

Hitherto when an issue of newspa-
per or magazine was suppressed by the
Japanese government no explanation
was given except that circulation Of
the particular numbes was regarded
"as prejudicial to the peace of society
or to public morality" Often the pub
fishers had difficulty in guessing the
cause Of the action by the home office,
says East and West News. Many pro-
tests by editors have been lodged with
the home office, and the Japan Chron-
icle asserts that the government has
agreed to abandon the policy of reti-
cence. Hereafter full explanation as
to why the sale of any issue of jour-
nal is prohibited will be given when
ever asked.
This Ia regarded as an Important
step toward the liberty Of the japanese
press.

larry Kingston lived with his
daughter, Elinor, in a beautiful
home on q hill in the suburban
village Of Nottingham. The
neighbors knew nothing about
the establishment, except that
the father was quite wealthy,
and the daughter very good
looking and gentle. In reality
Kingston was head of nm an
archist band, composed of Huff,
Boroday, Talbot and Lethbridge,
that robbed the rich and gave
to the poor and oppressed. One
day Old Hilary was shot dead,
and the course of life changed
abruptly for his daughter. The
Rev. Mr.. Ward. young bache-

Ounce Balls.

Peel the ounces after washing them

two is obtained. Cook the parings
and pieces until much of the flavor has
been extracted in the water, strain, add
sugar and the balls. Cook them COW
cred, and they will be beautiful red.
These balls may be used as garnish
for various frozen dishes, or, dipped in
fondant and served as confections,
they are so unusual that they will
never become too common. They may
be dipped in chocolate also If desired
as bon bonS.
