Just as coal, when it burns, leaves
behind certain amount of incombus-
tible material in the form of ashes, so
the food and drink taken day after day
leaves IN the alimentary canal a certain
amount of indigestible material, which
If not completely eliminated each day,
becomes food for the millions of bacteria
which infest the bowels. From this mass
OF leftover waste material, toxins and
ptomaine-like poisons, called uric acid, is
formed and then sucked into the blood
where it continues to circulate, collecting
grain by grain in the joints Of the body
much like rust collects on the hinge as
shown above.
Men and women who suffer from lum-
bago, rheumatism or sore, stiff, aching
joints should begin drinking phosphated
hot water, not as means to magic
reliefofrom pain, but to prevent more
uric acid forming in the system. Before

No indication was given the county

the list which has added penalty IN
each case. In some cases 1t Is quite
evident these penalties are not up to
date, but the county attorney says he
has no additional information to base
collections on. County Attorney Scott
says that he believes, as a matter OF
fact. that the list was prepared from
last years records of ownership or
cars in the Office OF the secretary of
state. He cannot otherwise figure
why so much OF the information is 30
ancient of date. However he has
collected something over 800 and he
expects TO collect more.

DON'T CASH YOUR STAMPS.
War Savings Stamps Mus. Not B,
Caahed Exeept in uraent Need.


People who have loaned money to
their government by purchasing war
savings stamps must not cash or trade
those stamps except in cases Of urgent
need.
Every application to redeem stamps
is reported to me and ii is my duty
TO summon before the committee of the
county council Of defense those who
are trying TO get out from under their
fair share Of the war loans.
Don't trade your stamps for auto
mobiles. merchandise or land for the
other fellow will try to cash them.
You are helping him take the money
away from your government when you
trade your stamps. Taking money
away from Uncle Sam without good
cause is just as unpatriotic as to re-
fuse to loan it in the first place.
Hold your war stamps and war
bonds until your government quits
borrowing directly from its people.
When the time comes that banks can
loan all the money Uncle Sam needs
then the citizens obligation to keep
his loan in force will cease
Those who try to unload now will
be looked upon with suspicion by all
real patriots.-D. w. Norris, County

But I'm going to tell you, anyhow. Mr..
Macdonald is going away tomorrow for
two or three days, and he has some
business he wants to talk over with
Sheba. He had made an appointment
with her, and didn't think it fair to
let your coming interfere with it."
Gordon took this Nfacer with his
smile still working.
'Tve got little business l want to
talk over with you, Di."
She had always been a young woman
of rather a hard finish. Now she met
him fairly, eye to eye. "Any time you
like, Gordon"
Elliot carried away with him one
very definite impression. Diane in
tended Sheba to marry Macdonald If
she could bring it about. She had as
good as served notice on him that the
girl was spoken for.
The young man set his square jaw.
Diane was used to having her own
way. So was Macdonald. Well, the
Elliots had will of their own, too.

CHAPTER X-Continued.

Eniot glanced at the woman behind
whose skirts the youngster was hid
ing. "She's not bad looking, If that's
what you mean," he said after they
had taken up the trail again.
"You amt the only white man that
has thought that" retorted the old
miner significantly.
"No" Gordon had learned to let
Holt tell things at his leisure. 1t usu-
ally took less time than to try to hurry
him.
"Name Of the kid mean anything

"Can't say it did"
'H'mI Named for his dad. First

stride and wheeled upon Holt. "You

me of. Of course it was Macdonald"
mac met up with Meteetse when he
first secuted this country for coal five
years ago. So fairs I know he was
square enough with the girl. She
never claimed he made any promises
or anything like that. He sends a
check down once a quarter to the
trader here for her and the kid"
But young Elliot was not thinking
about Meteetse. His minds eye saw
another picture-the girl at Kusiak,
listening spellbound to the tales of a
man whose actions translated romance
into life for her, girl swept from the
quiet backwaterS of an Irish village
to this land OF the midnight sun with
cts amazing contrasts.
And all the way up on the boat she
continued to fill his mind. The slow
ness of the steamer fretted him. Some
times the jealousy In his heart famed
up like prairie fire when it comes
to a brush heap. The outrage of it
set him blazing with indignation. 1t
was no less than a conspiracy. What

''Tm not heartless," said Macdonald
impatiently. "Of course / did that. l
had to do it. / couldn't do less"
"Nor more" she suggested. "You
may have made a hard bargain with
him, but you wiped that out later"
THAT'S just what l didn't do. Don't
think my conscience is troubling me.
I'm not such a mush-brained fool. If
it had not been for you 1 would never
have thought of it again. But you are

friend"

weakness for drink and how he had
played upon it. He bridged all eXpla-
nations and passed to the thing he
meant to do in reparation.
''The money I cleaned up from that
claim belongs to you, Miss O'Neill. You
will Oblige me by taking it."
From his pocket he took a folded
paper and Handed it to her. Sheba
opened it doubtfully. The paper con-
tanned typewriter statement and to
it was attached check by means of a
clip. The check was made out to her
and signed by Colby Macdonald. The
amount it called for was $1S3,431.
"Oh, couldn't take this, Mr.. Mac
donald couldn't. 1t doesn't belong
to me-" she cried.
''It belongs to you-and you're going
to take It."

so much"
''The bank will take care Of 1t for
you until you decide. So that's set
tied" He passed definitely from the
subject. "There's something else
want to say to you, Miss O'Neill."
Some change in his voice warned
her. The girl slanted a quick, shy
glance at him.
81 want to know if you'll marry me,
Miss O'Nefll," he shot at her abruptly.
Then, without giving her time to an
Swer he pushed on: "Im older than
you-by twenty-five years. Always
I've lived on the frontiers. I've had
to take the world by the throat and
shake from it what L wanted. So I've
grown hard and willful. All the sweet,
fine things of life Eve missed. But
with you beside me, I'm not too old
to find them yet-if you'll show me the
way, Sheba."
A wave of color swept into her face,
but her eyes never faltered from his.
I'm not quite sure" she said in low
voice.
"YOu mean-whether you love me?"
She nodded. "I-admire you more
than any man | ever met You are

and l am so insignificant beside you.

Sheba. Take your time. Marriage is
serious business. I want you to re-
member that my life has been very
different from yours. You'll hear all
sorts of things about me. Some of
them are true. There is this differ
ence between a man and good wom-
an. He fights and falls and fights again
and wins. But a good woman is finer.
She has never known the failure that
drags one through slime and mud. Her
goodness is born in her; she doesn't

The girl smiled a little TREMENDOUSLY.
