RUTH LEARNS THAT MANDEL
LOVES HER.
BY Jane Phelps.

Ruth held her breath. Oh, why had
such a thing happneds Mr.. Mandel had
been so coed to her, and through her
he would lose this wealthy customer.
Perhaps, too, he would think it partly
her fault that this man had acted as
he habitat she had in some way en-
couraged his advances.
With an unpleasant sneer on his face
the customer had replied to Mandel s
threat to throw him out if he did not
go at once:
"You wish to keep everything for
yourself, ! suppose. l must congratulate
you upon your taste," then before
Mandel, who had turned purple with
anger could reply, he turned and walk
ed swiftly out,
"Come in here Mandel said to
Ruth, as he opened the door Of his
private office.
He pushed an easy chair toward her,
and she sank wearly into it, her eyes
filling,
g | am so sorry-I-"

THE MILLIONAIRE K. P.

Here | am in the kitchen,
Peeling a bucket of spuds;
Wearing a dirty apron
To cover my blue serge duds;
A hundred thousand in the bank
Society man, that's me,
But because was late at roll call
They gave me q weeks K. z.
Sitting here In the kitchen
With slop all over my jeans,
Picking rocks and splinters
Out of barrel of beans.
My thoughts have gone wondering
.Of what 1 used to be,
Before 1 missed the last post car
And they gave me weeks X. P.
Many the nights I've squanderea,
Doing the Bar Room stunt,
Gecl what sissy was,
What hopeless, helpless runt,
But l was there with the girls, boys,
They called me the Ladies' Man
What would they say if they saw me
Scrubbing greasy panf
The mess sergeant is slaver,
He gives man no rest;
The first cook is william
But I hate the second the best.
Yes, boys, / enlisted
To march away to the wars,
But they got me here in the kitchen
Doing the company's chores.
A week policing the kitchen,
Watching the biscuits brown,
Me, who used to order
Two thousand men around.
/ wonder what those two thousand
would say
If they could see me now,
Washing hundred dishes
Ready for six O'Clock chowi
Three months ago in the grecn-house
/ held Anita IS hand,
Told her / had enlisted
To fight for my native land.
She leaned her head on my shoulder
Said she sd be proud of me
She'd be proud all right if she saw ne
now
Doing a weeks K. P.
Dumping the slop in the hog can,
Scrubbing the kitchen floor,
Scraping the Shiny muck pans,
Till my hands are bleeding and soro;
Fixing tho hash for supper,
Putting ice in the tea.

Society man, that's me.

Personally / am deeply gratified

will give the country brilliant and
satisfactory administration.
" Mr.. Glass acceptance of the treas

tremendously important part he'had in
the formulation and passage of the fed
eral reserve act, his familiarity with
banking and economic problems, grow
ing out of his long service in congress
and for the past six years as chairman
of the important committee on bank
ing and curreney of the house, have
earned, for him the confidence of the
financial and business interests of the
country as well as of all classes OF
people. He has unusual qualifications
for the great office to which the pres
ident has nominated him."

FINANCING FARMERS.

In 1917 our government organized twelve farm loan
banks the oboect being to furnish farmers with capital
to equip and run their farms basis broad enough to
meet the need of increased production.
Heretofore the farmer has been as a rule hampered
by the lack Of ready money in large enough to free
him from immediate financial worry and permit him to
think of dollars as something to be spent instead OF some
thing to be boarded.
The farmers throughout the country were quick to
take advantage of these farm loan banks The record OF
production in the last year is eloquent testimony to the
wisdom Of everv made to aid the food producer in
his task Of feeding millions.
Reports covering the time since the banks were in
aupurated show loans amounting to $13 8000 with only
$4,000 in accounts outstanding and overdue The de-
lnouency occurs almost without exception in the regions
where crops have failed.
Some of the banks report surplus Two are about
to bepn payments on the stock subscribed by the govern
ment to finance the banks originally There is every
prospect Of great growth in this branch Of banking bus
ness next year.

These millions hardly be expected to relish the

OLD PRESCRIPTION
FOR WEAK KIDNEYS

Have yon ever stopped to reason
why il is that so many products that
are extensively advertised all at once
drop ont Of sight and are soon forgot
tenY The reason is plain-the article
did not fulfil the promises Of the man

larly to medicine. A medicinal prep
aration that has real curative value al
most sells itself, as like an endless
chain system the remedy is recommend
ed by those who have been benefited,
TO those who are in need 0f it.
A prominent druggist says "Take
for example DR., Kilmer's Swamp-Root,
a preparation have sold for many
years and never hesitate to recon-
mend, for in almost every case il shows
excellent results, as many Of my Gus
toners testify. No other kidney rene
ly that know of has so large a sale. I"
According 10 sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who
have used the preparation, the success
Of DR.. Kilmer : Swamp-Root is due to
the fact that, SO many people claim,

thot he was unfaithful, and that Ruth
was unhappy. Her eyes which SO often

of which she was unconscious, had ad-
