badly that Aristides the Just looked

1t broke his heart; he thought the
town loved and admired him; and
the town would have done so had it
not been for his habit of making
people earn their money twice.
1t would seem as if genial soul
like Walt Mason never could become
unpopular, but just that thing hap
pened to him once. He says the
neighbors quit dropping in to hear
his phonograph, and he was met
with stony stares instead OF glad
smiles, and one evening when he
was sitting by the fireside reading a
report of the fourth assistant post
master-general, a brick came through
the window and nearly hit his bald
head. He couldn't understand it, for
he knew of no harm he had done. On
the contrary, he felt that he had
gone out of his way to win his
neighbors' love and affection, among

Insomuch as the foreman took a
bitter view of all men and things, l
imagined he was romancing; but l
found there was no exaggeration in
his remarks. Tightwads always have
their offices at the end Of eight or
ten miles Of stairway, to make it
difficult for people who pass the hat
or collect bills. I toiled up the long
stairway to that mans office time

TWO CALOIDS MADE HIM
FEEL LIKE A NEW MAN

Just read what j. w. Carver, prom
inent farmer of Douglas county, has
to say about CALOIDS, the new calo-
mel compound, which positively will
not give pain or distress of any kind:
1.-THE Caloids Company,

Gentlemen: Your new calomel COM
pound, CALOIDS, is a wonder. For
years l have been a sufferer from bill
iousness and Indigestion and am glad
to tell you that CALOIDS have done
more for me than any medicine that
have ever taken. After taking only
two CALOIDS could tell a big differ
ence, and have felt much better. In
fact they made me feel like new
man. And the good part is that the eff
feet seems to be lasting. | am glad
that l discovered CALOIDS, for they
have certainly helped me-"

CALOIDS contain calomel, but in
small doses and so combined with
other medicines that you never know

enabled to secure many of the big
battle scenes included in the offering;
to stage scenes in ruined French vii

sired from the actual battle line during
