ON THE Decline
Doctors Encouraged, They
Hold Out Hope for All

Nothing wrong but my nerves"
We hear it at home, at work and
everywhere. Certainly, nervousness
is disease. A man or woman might
better have broken leg than a shat
tered, run down nervous system.
Overwork and worry drains the
nerve cells and centers Of all their
strength and vitality, then you get
your sleepless nights. poor blood, ner-
vousness, worry and fear that goes
with a WORKOUT, broken-down nervous
system. The better doctors of today
know just what to do in cases Of this
kind. They know that a few weeks
use Of Phosphated Iron rarely fails to
strengthen, stimulate and feed the
Phosphate-hungry nerve centers.
Phosphated Iron certainly does take
hold. The way the majority Of pa
tients come back is remarkable. You
can almost see their nerves grow
steady, strong and peaceful.
What a. change in appearance, too.
The cheeks become filled out and
flushed with the healthy rudy glow
that only pure, red, ironized blood
can give, eyes sparkle, their step has
the spring and swing Of youth and
their whole system seems to be alive
with energy and good spirits
Mr.. Nervous Man or Woman, Phos-
phated Iron will do all this for you if,
you will give 1t a chance. Do not drag
around, all in and half dead another
day when help is so near Get busy!
and be live one once again.
To insure doctors and their patients
getting the genuine Phosphated Iron
we have put in capsules only. so do
not allow dealers to give you pills or
tablets. Insist on capsules. A. J..

ooh, l say, Mr.. Drake!' suddenly
burst forth Bud, half the trip accom-.
plished, queer thing happened yes
| terday, and l forgot to tell you
what was that, Bud?" inquired
Tracy.
"YOu were in the field, when a man
IN blue auto drove up. He inquired
all about you. thought maybe it was
some city fellow, thinking of hiring
you, and you bet l gave you q good
sendoff Told him how you saved lit
tie Lettie from drowning and old Mrs
Woods from her burning house. Said
too, that If Dad hadn't three big lazy
pumpkin boys, he'd adopt you, just
because you was more help to him
than any four men he ever hired"
"Thank you, Bud" said Tracy. He
looked thoughtful. Then he laughed
vaguely. 81 owe some unpaid bills
back home" added Tracy, 'but I'm
able to pay them now with what I've
earned"
"Oh this fellow didn't act or talk
as If he was creditor. He tried to
pump me on every little thing about
you. Was sort of mysterious, too.
When he saw you coming towards the
house, he wheeled around and speeded
out of sight in a jiffy."
Tracy was a trifle curious. In the
past he had known many friends who
might continue an interest in him, and
rich enough to possess such a luxuri-
Gus blue limousine as Bud described
That was before he had married poor
but pretty and loving Verda Wayne
thereby being told by his father that
their roads parted and, as he had
taken up with a poor, humble wife
he could live out his own life.
1t was a cold, slow ride in the cleo
trio car, and Tracy was gald to leave
it at the city limits station and stir
up his chilled blood with brisk walk
Homeward bound, crossing lots, he
heard the sound of someone .hoppne
wood and r-h;."'.0g cheerily IN the
back yard OF Gideon Blake, distant
relative OF lis wife. Tracy reached
The fence and hailed Blake across it.
Il say, you seem immensely happy,
neighbour" he called out.
Hello! Hurrah! Glad to see you
back, and Verda will be gladden.
Happy? I should say I was. l sup
pose Verda didn't want to worry you
about it, but the three children have
all been down with scarlet fever. My
wife was sick in bed and Verda gave
up everything and was with us until
a week ago. She saved two of the
little ones the doctor had given up.
Happy! / could cry for joy to think
that dear, sweet little woman has
pulled US through. You know /
couldn't afford a nurse-nOt a stroke
of work for six weeks-but if it was
only bread and water, none of US
would complain, all we'll again and all
together"
Tracy brakes eyes brightened-a
soul--warning impulse stirred him. He

"Verda will be glad, too," he whis

Blake" he said, in quite q casual
tone, "Tve brought you a turkey from
the country to celebrate your fortu.

But" demonstrated Blake, and
Tracy airily waved the other bag, with
the words: ooh! we've got our full
portion. Goodbye, and good luck, >
and Tracy pursued his way.
"Oh Drakew suddenly called Blake
after him. "a man in blue auto was
at the corner grocery yesterday, the
storekeeper told me, making all sorts
of inquiries about you and Verda.
Thought I'd tell you"
'''Why, this is getting positively mys-
ferrous, this inquisitive stranger with
the blue auto" ruminated Tracy, and
then he fastened his pace as home
came in sight. He momentarily
thought only of Verda, but the mystic,
the eerie, pursued. In front of the
house Was-a blue auto!
Tracy ran up the steps. He heard
vast hustle and shuf1ing beyond the
door. 1t opened and Verda was in his
arms. She drew him into the room.
"And you didn't forget to bring me
the real apples from real tree that
you promised me !" she cried, discover
ing the bag, the first ecstacies of well
come over, and clapping her hands,
pleased as a little child
"And nuts, and pears, and oh,

key, too but / met poor Blake and
thought he needed it most"

throwing her arms around his neck.

began Tracy.
NO need" declared Verda "See
there"
She threw open the kitchen door.
Tracy Drake stared. It was loaded
with G. pumpkin, jar of mince meat,
fruits, a plum pudding, full compile
ment for a royal holiday feast.
why, Verda where did you get all
that" began Tracy.
II brought it," spoke a speedy voice
from the pantry, and there appeared
the owner of the blue auto.
''Father!" exclaimed Tracy, hope
fully but in doubt
1--WE been Investigating both of
you," proceeded John Drake, grasping
his sons hand warmly. 81 got lone
some, and I'm going to stay here for
a day or two, and tomorrow, boy, we'll
readjust ourselves and see you started
in life as you deserve. You're a bet
ter man than l am, son, and I am
ashamed Of my narrownesS. And as
to this jewel Of wife of yours" and
the old man completed his eXordium
by gathering Verda in his arms and
kissing her on both cheeks.
