face is thin and long and the length is
accentuated by a scraggly beard, which
is streaked gray and red. His hair is
thin but expressive, it seems to be unde-
cided just what direction it is going.
He met me on the top stair. His hand
shake was cordial greeting, as well as
friendly pull to help me up to the land

room, talking volubly the while.
Shaw's voice was different now; not so
round as it had sounded over the wire.
1t would be inaccurate to describe it as
strident, but there was something decid-
edly harsh in it, and yet it was as rule
low pitched. There is much more of the
Irish Tilt in Shaw's speech than in George
Moore's. Paris has almost altogether
worn the edge off Moore's accent. Shaw
has not allowed London to spoil his deli
cious RS, so family reminiscent of the RS
peculiar to the prairies of our own middle
West. He motioned me to sofa, while
he nearly disappeared in the vortex of
comfortable Morris chair by the fireplace.

"The Shifting of the Rock"

IN newly opened territory in the breezy
L mountain regions of Oregon Palmer
Bend has laid the plot of his entertaining
story The Smighting Of the Rock.
David Kent desires to prove himself
worthy of the love of New York social
pet, and in order to convince her father
a man of achievement-tha he can make
good goes out to Oregon and settles in
a so-called anarchist community, deter
mined to make his way with his head and
hands The arduous life Of the pioneers
where nature is hard and the irrigation
companies are robbing the settlers arouses
David to a mans effort. He takes a job
as assistant editor of a weekly paper and
runs foul of an irrigation company in
which the New York girls father is ma
jority stakeholder.
The fight brings the New York girls
father and the girl to the scene. But
meanwhile an Oregon girl has compli-
Gated the situation. The New York girl
is loyal to her father and his business
traditions, which are not over scrupulous.
David is determined TO stand by the pio-
neers against the irrigation company.
Mr.. Bend is enabled to score heavily
with situation in which Wall Street cap
ital and heart interest are staked on the
issue. The suspense is admirably main
tanned until the time comes for show
down, which reveals colossal bluff on
one side and marked cards on the other.

Bruce of the Circle A"

HAROLD TITUS has written, in
L Il Bruce of the Circle A. an interest
ing novel with an exciting plot and dual
love story. 1t has romantic and adven-
turesome setting in Arizona. The book
arouses your curiosity.
1t is the story of Bruce Bayard. A
young wife comes to Arizona from Maine
to look after her husband, a drunkard
who deserted her soon after they were
married. She hopes TO bring him back to
decency. On the eve of her arrival at a
small jumping off place her husband is
shot. Bruce brings him to the hotel to
dress his wounds. Not knowing that Ann
Lytton is the wife of this worthless crea-
ture, Bruce asks her to help him dress the
mans wounds.
Finding out that Ann is the wife Of
Ned, Bruce takes him to his ranch among
the hills and finally brings him back to
health again. Ned Lytton imagines that
Bruce is In love with his wife and
threatens to kill him.
Some years back Ned Lytton had killed
the father of Benny Lynch, after cheat
ing him out of his mine. Benny, wanting
to avenge his fathers death, awaits Ned
Lytton's return to the mine, so that he
may settle with him.
Harold Titus can tell a story! Yoa
find yourself breathless at certain places
in the story. There is humor in the book,
especially at the end and in the person of
Tommy Clary. In short, dandy story to
take mentioning.

With Bernard Shaw in the Lions Den

ing an Englishman about conditions in
Berlin, and was now determined not to
take up all the time talking, for l had
come to hear Shaw. He must have sensed
this, for he plunged at once into rem
iniscences and gave me the information l
sought 1t is not necessary to go into
detail, but ! may quote from his subse-
quent ramblings just as they came to me.
AS soon as what may term the technical
part of our colloquy was over, Shaw
threw his head back, crossed his legs,
swinging one over the other, and took OH
his shell trimmed spectaeles, which at
launched forth:
"The best biographies Of me? You
know Chesterton'sf That's by far the
best, the clearest and most amusing
though Chesterton never read single
play of mine! Or-yes, | think he read
one, some time ago. He says that GER
tain character-in Major Barbara, L be-
iieve-ought, in the circumstances where
he is placed, to have said and done so
and so. If Chesterton had only taken the
trouble of looking the matter up he would
have seen that the character did do and
saw what he, Chesterton, advises. Now
future biographers will doubtless remark
that | made the change as a result OF
Chesterton's suggestion!
.Henderson's booki Oh, yes. Very
good. Full. Thorough. He had the
good sense to come to me first and he was
the first writer to call attention to all my
activities political, social, artistic. Since
the publication of his book the press oc-
casionally criticises me without standing
on its head.
"Henderson's chapters on my socialistic
activities and speechmaking days are the
best in the book-they're mostly verbatim
reports from me! And you'll find a pho
tograph of the first house l didn't live in
when l came to London"
Here a good natured grin spread over
his kindly face, displaying his irregular
teeth with which he bit the bows of his
spectaclcs. / asked him what he thought
of the (then) latest biography-by Nc
Cabe. He was little annoyed that at
this late date his attitude on certain sub
jects should be so thoroughly misunder-
stood.
. "The man calls me an ascctic in matters
relating to sex relations. It's absurd.
Why, he argues this way: Mr.. Shaw says
he likes cherries, therefore he dislikes
strawberriesw
The interview had already lasted nearly
two hours and l felt and said that really
must be going, but Shaw insisted upon
giving me advice. However, there is good
reason why need not repeat it in this
place, for he terminated his remarks with:
"You needn't expect to make use Of
those ideas, young man, at least as liter

SAYS HOT WATER
WASHES P0ISONS
FROM THE LIVER
Everyone should drink hot water
with phosphate In H.
before breakfast.

To feel as fine as the proverbiai
fiddle, we must keep the liver washed
clean, almost every morning, to pre-
vent its sponge-like pores from clog
ging with mdigestible material, sour
bile and poisonous toxins, says noted
physician.
If you get headaches, It's your liver.
If you catch cold easily, it's your liver.
If you wake up with bad taste, furred
tongue, nasty breath or stomach be-
skin, muddy complexion, watery eyes
all denote liver uncleanliness. Your
liver is the most important, also the
must abused and neglected organ of
the body. Few know its function or
how to release the dammed-up body
waste, bile and toxins. Most folks
resort to violent calomel, which is q
dangerous, salivating chemical which
can only be used occasionally because
it accumulates in the tissues. also
attacks the bones.
Every man and woman, sick or
we'll, should drink each morning be-
fore breakfast, a glass of hot water
with tcaspoonful of limestone phos-
plate in it, to wash from the liver and
bowels the previous days indigestible
material, the poisons, sour bile and
toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening
and freshening the entire alimentary
canal before putting more food into
the stomach.
Limestone phosphate does not re-
strict the diet like calomel, because it
can not salivate, for it is harmless and
Won can eat ANYTHING afterwards IT
is inexpensive and almost tasteless, and
any pharmacist will sell you quarter
pound, which is sufficient for a dem
onstration of how hot water and lime
stone phosphate cleans, stimulates and
freshens the liver, keeping you feeling
ct day in and day out. e.
