Cured His RUPTURE

was badly ruptured while lifting a trunk several years ago. Doctors said my only hope of cure was an operation. Trusses did me no good. Finally got hold of something that quickly and completely cured me. Years have passed and the rupture has never returned, although am doing hard work as carpenter. There was no opera. tion, no lost time, no trouble. have nothing to se1l but will give full information about how you may find complete cure without operation, if you write to me, Eugene M. Pullen, Carpenter, 593D S1arcellus Avenue, ManasQuan, N, J. Better cut out this notice and show it to any others who are ruptured-you may save a life or at least stop the misery of rupture and the woTry and danger of an operation.

A housewife complained to me the other day that she had caught her maid taking the dish cloth to wipe the dirt from the doors in the living room.
 She was properly mortified, and so was I, but I couldn't forbear asking;
 Do. you give her special cloth for that sort of thing?'
 "Why, mo- said the housewife, ''I don't give her any special cloth, but there's plenty of cloth in the house. She could get one easily enough. But she never keeps a cloth for any spe cial purpose. She just uses them and burns them up. Oh dear they are so slack and so wasteful." she end ed with the long drawn sigh of the woman who has exchanged the bod fly weariness of doing things for her self for the mental wearinesS of try ing to make a maid do them prop erly.
 knew how she felt.

She Could Have Made It Easier Fol
 The Maid 10 Be Orderly.

And yet, couldn't help feeling that if she didn't have a special cloth for each kind of work and a special place. to put it, she wasn't doing what she could to make the path of orderliness and system the path of least resistance for her maid.
 I know a housekeeper who had al ways had difficulties of this sort. So when she built her house she insisted on a little cupboard in her kitchen for the sole purpose of keeping cloths for various uses. Each rag has it's particular hook and over each hook she has pasted a typewriter label.

 Don't worry about anything, Jim '' I returned. Well manage some how"
 Thank you for everything, Mrs. Graham he said earnestly, and there was that in his honest voice which told me how deeply he felt my pro- mise to take care of Katie.
 AS 1 strolIed on through the garden where Jim had been trying to repair the ravages of years of neglect, and entered a small piece of woodland on the edge of the small lake at the rear of the property, I was struck as I had never been before with the loneliness of the place.
 The ground surrounding the house, together with those of our nearest neighbor, Mrs. Durkee. are bounded at the back by the little natural lake which had been one of the chief req sons for our taking the place, and which DicEy had great plans for beautifying.
 On the other side of the lake stretches a piece of woodland belong ing to a real estate company that will in time ''develop" it, but which now is simply q tangle of trees and under brush.
 The place adjoining on the north Is one belonging to a, wealthy widow who spends most of her time travelling and her home is closed during her absence. This fact appealed to Dicky, who doesn't like neighbors too near. and I had agreed with him at the time we bought the plac2. Of course there are neighbors across the road, and the place isn't far from the center of the rambling old village, which spreads out in all directions. But our house is set back from the street, and shield ed by trees and Shrubbery; a sudden realization of the case with which marauderS could enter the grounds unhindered disturbed me.
 l had always felt a certain security in the knowledge that Jim's sturdy arms and strong body were beneath my roof. But now he was going to the war, and with apprehension l faced the prospect of spending many evenings in the lonely house with no mans protection near, for Dicky' s evenings in the city, with his return upon the last train at o'clock in the morning were frequent.
 A footstep, which to my imagina ton was stealthy, sounded in the woodland at my side. I turned quak- ing inwardly, but outwardly calm, to confront the unknown intruder.
