HIS ALL-IMPoRTANT QUESTION
Many Things Happened While Eager
Young Man Waited Answer That
Meant So Much to Him.

He had asked her question Of the
greatest Importance and one which he
felt warranted an immediate reply.
She seemed very calm and collected
herself much as an Indianapolis street
car conductor would collect a nickel
fare and one cent for transfer.
AS he searched her face I'D found
nothing but small brown .nole near
the end of her nose he knew that she
must answer his question. Something
told him that she would, but Of
course, he didn't know what. Slowly
hectic flush began to suffuse her
cheeks. He didn't even know what
hectic meant and, therefore, didn't APP
preciate one when it suffused. He
would have recognized straight flush
in an instant.
Must he hound her for a reply?
Nope; decidedly nope. Must he ask
her again? Nope-er-that is to say,
yep-or rather, yes ma'am.
"Well, what do you think of Ger
manys reply to Mr.. Wilson," he

Of prehistoric man in Europe. South.
ern Arabia holds the remains of what
seems. very early and quite unknown
civilization. Excavation may add q
new and revolutionary page to the his.
tory of culture.
Large parts of Arabia have never
been explored by the outsider, some
not even by the Arabs themselves, it
would seem. The natives will tell you
that certain sections are impossible.
Some of this may be taken with trifie
Of reserve, for willy desert merchants
have been known to spread horrifying
reports as to the fatal characteristics
of this section or that-that the very

away thieving tradesmen from the

Land of Romance and Ruin.
The Persian side shows a rugged
beach formation with bristling cliffs
and rocks. There lie Bushire and Bas-
ra-from this latter Sindbad, histor-
zeal character, sailed on his never-to-
be-forgotten voyages. To the interior
lie Shiraz and Ispahan, of poetico-
romantic glory. 1t is land as strange
as Araby itself. Take the punishment
Of slaves. When slave has misbe-
haved himself seriously enough he is
punished by being freed and left to
earn his own living, which virtually
consigns him to lingering death.
Across the Straits of Ormuz, oppo-
site the tip Of the Pirate coast, is the
once great trading city of Ormuz, now
a ruin, showing evidences of vanished
magnificence. Western travellers who
visited the city in the days of it's splen-
dor five hundred years ago used ex-
travagant language in. describing the
wealth and luxury which prevailed
there. But Ormuz after undergoing
spectacular ups and downs finally de-
cayed and fell into dust, and is now
an object for the philosophic rumina-
tons of the tourist, cadaver for the
dissecting picks and shovels Of the
archeologist.
There are few ports on this rough
coast and the interior is harried by
robbers and fractions tribesmen. There
are sites and cities untouched by the
ravages of tourists, although they have
been drummed into the head of the
western world by the great Persian
poets in their latter-day occidental
vogue.
At the narrow northern shore of the
Persian gulf lies the ancient land of
the Chaldeans. 1t is here that the sto-
ried rivers, the Euphrates and the III
girls, unite and flow into the gulf.
On the Tigris is Bagdad, the city
of the Arabian Nights. The ruins of
Babylon are near the Euphrates; the
rivers run almost parallel. On every
side, on the sands, or more often be-
meath them, are the decayed remnants
Of days which stir the Imagination of
the dullest. Persia, Chaldea, Arabia
all clustered about the gulf-and the
tourist found them not.

Acid-Stomach
Ruins Health
of Millions

Besides those painful attacks Of IN
digestion; that awful bloated, lumpy
feeling after eating and downright
stomach misery that you who have
experienced 1t know so well; besides
disgusting belching, food-repeating,
sour stomach and distressing heartburn
besides all this, ACID-STOMACH
undermines the health and saps the
strength of millions.
If you don't get rid of those stomach
miseries there is no telling where your
stomach troubles will end, for it is a
well known scientific fact that many
serious ailments have their start in an
acid-stomach.
Start now-this very day to get rid of
your stomach miseries-take EATONIC
the wonderful remedy that absOrbs
the excess acid from the stomach and
brings INSTANT relief. You simply
have no idea how much better, stronger
and brighter you feel at once. 1t drives
out all the gas and bloat, puts an inn
mediate stop to belching and heartburn,
ends stomach suffering and makes 1t
cool, sweet, comfortable and strong.
There can be no further excuse for
you to allow acid-stOmach to wreck
your health-pile up misery upon mis-
cry until you get to the point where
you feel down and out and that life has
lost all its joys. Remember, just as
acid-mouth ruins teeth, so acid-stomach
ruins health.
Take EATONIC. It's good, just like
a bit of candy and makes the stomach
feel fine. You can then eat the things
you like and. what is more, every
mouthful you eat will count in creating
power and energy. You'll feel so much
better-have punch and pep-the power
and will to do things and get results,
and your stomach misery will be gone.
Take our advice. Get big box Of
EATONIC from your druggist today,
1t costs so little. If it fails to remove
your stomach distress, he will refund
your money. That is guaranteed, you
are to be satisfied or money refunded.

"All right, Larry" said Smoky, ''if
you insist upon it, then you must be
right" For Smoky thought if the
keeper had said so Larry certainly
must be a perfect gentleman.
"Just behave yourself and always
be good and gentle and playful and
you're perfect gentleman" said
Larry. "Ah, there's all the difference
in the world between being a gentle
man and a perfect one. A gentleman
is just gentleman-one who just has

one who deserves that name!"

but you're apt to get conceited,"
said Billy Francis.
"Ah, no." said Larry. 81 don't be-
lieve in these folks who never say
anything nice to anyone. They'd never
tell an animal or child that they were
good and nice. You know it's a very
good thing not to get spoiled, but there
is difference between spoiled and be-
ing petted and loved"
That's true, too" said Smoky. ooh,
it's very fine to live in cage with you,
Larry. A monkey never knows what
you are going to do next. One day
you're thinking of nothing but exer-
cising, and the next you are showing
how wise you are"
Now Larry had ringed tail and he
came from South America. He had a
spotted nose and spots over his eyes.
Smoky, too, was a ringed-tailed
monkey, and also came from South
America. but Billy Francis and Edith
Francis came from Africa.
"But," continued Smoky, after few
swings and somersaults, "why did you
say you were perfect gentleman?
You might get into lot of trouble
making speech like that, for you
know there are many people who don't
like monkeys"
There are many people," said Larry,
who don't like anything or anyone

"Oh, WE'LL" said Edith Francis, "you
mustn't mind if everyone doesn't like
you, Larry. You're so sensitive |!
You're so easily hurt-that is your feel
lngs are-you certainly can fall about
and not hurt yourself. That tail Of
youps is great help"
"Ah, no." said Smoky, think about
1t as you will, there are people who
don't like us, and do you know why?"
All the monkeys put their hands be-
hind their ears and waited to hear
what Smoky had to say.
"Its because" he continued, "1t's
because they say we're too much like
them. We're so human, we are"
All the monkeys laughed and swung
back and forth as ifnnney'd heard the
best joke of their hu yes.
