talking very earnestly.

Slowly and quietly, she descended

listen. Still there was silence.

rare unselfshness developed. Dur
ing her girlhood she had labored
under the spell of what she con-
ceived to be failure, but the myth
cal love affair made her the equal
of any woman. The world thought
her beloved, affianced; her cup OF
happiness running over - even
though death had dashed it from
her lips.
No Opportunity For Expression
A perverted point of view, you
will say. Yes, perhaps, a leftover
from the days when women were
debarred from expressing them
selves in work, in art, or the pro-
fessions.
Now, Miss Agatha would have
driven an ambulance. rolled BAN
dages or kept a typewriter busy
with clerical work. But I. for one,
have always felt that her decep-
tion will be forgiven her. As for
her old neighbors, they made it so
disagreeable for her heirs-at- law
that they left very shortly. And
the old friends still say, Loyalty.
There must be some explanation;
we don't understand"

Little Talks by

Not long ago an elderly woman
died in A certain Southern city, and
the mourning for her was so gen.

There was hardly a family in town
who at some time or another had
not been helped by the sweet-faced
old lady. who always wore black.

gave food, clothing and money.
Her entire life was spent doing
works of mercy. Yet. for all that
she was a most com Portable type Of

She had been the inspiration of
half a dozen young men that had
turned out more than we'll in their
various professions. and as for the
lovers whose disagreements she ad
justed. their name was legion.
OF course, the old lady had had a
romance in her own life. but of that
she never spoke to any one. Every

looking down eproachfully on the

young Confederate soldier in gray.
The rest of this story is difficult
to tell; it was related, however,
with gales of laughter by the rela-

She had set down in her diary

Her struggles against the high hand

termed 'suitors.'
She could not stand what she re-

War came a possible solution of a
situation that had grown to be un-

But Miss Agatha-well call her
that because it wasn't her name

whom none of her fellow towns

The more persistent of the eligi-

GARFIELD RESIGNS
 AS FUEL DIRECTOR
After Christmas Holidays Will
 Return to Williams College

Washin gton, Dec. 4.-Fuel Adminis- trator Garfield has resigned and Pres ident Wilson has, ssaccepted his resigna- tion This was announced last night at the White House.
 "It was announced at the execu- tive offices today said the statement, that United States Fuel Adminis- trator Garfield had rendered his resignation, to take effect at the pleasure of the. president. and that the president had accepted the resigna- tion, although it was made clear that the need of domestic consumers will continue to receive the attention of the fuel administration until the win- ter is passed
 The correspondence between the president and Dr. Garfield was not made public, nor was there any in- formation as to when the resignation becomes effective or whether suc- cessor to pr. Garfield will be named. It Is understood that Dr. Garfield plans to remain at his post the re- mainder of the month, but that after the holidays he will resume his duties as president of Williams college. It Is assumed that he resigned at this time so that the president could act in the matter before his departure for Europe.
 The White House statement made it clear that the fuel administration will continue to function, certainly until the end of the winter. Dr. Gar field himself announced recently that he hoped to be able to remove price restrictions and possibly the zone reg ulations on bituminous coal about inc middle of this month, but that cont ol over the domestic supply of anth '>- cite would be continued until the n ] of the coal year, next April 1.

Everyone Should Drink Hot Water
 in the Morning Wash away all the stomach, liver, and bowel poisons before

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- tion bilious attacks, sick headache, colds rheumatism or gassy, acid stomach. you must bathe on the in side like you bathe outside. This is vastly more important, because the skin pores do not absorb impurities into the blood, while the bowel pores do, says a well-known physician. To keep these poisons and toxins we'll flushed from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels, drink before breakfast each day, a glass of hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it. This will cleanse, purify and freshen the entire alimen- into the stomach.
 Get a quarter, pound of limestone phosphate from your pharmacist. It is inexpensive and almost tasteless, except a sourish twinge which is not unpleasant. Drink phoSphated hot water every morning to rid your sys- tenn of these vile poisons and toxins; also prevent their formation
 To feel like young folks feel; like you felt before your blood, nerves and muscles became saturated with an accumulation of body poisons, be- gin this treatment and above all, keep it up! As soap and hot water act on the skin, cleansing, sweetening and puIi- flying, so limestone phosphate and hot water before breakfast, act on the stomach. liver, kidneys and bowels.
