CHAPTER XII.

CHAPTER XII.
All this while Daphne was kept In
readiness to take Miss Kemble's part
in case the illness of her child should
result in death and in the further case
that she should be unable to finish her
performances. With the theatrical
season in such bad estate and most OF
Reben's companies and theaters losing
money heavily, Sheila Kemble was his
one certain dependence. He called
her his breadwinner.
Miss Kemble's baby passed the cri-
sis and recovered. And then the
mother, worn out with the double
strain, caught little chill that became
binding, choking cold. She went
through the Saturday matinee in a
whisper, but the night performance
was beyond her.
And now at last Daphne's chance ar
rived. The Saturday night house was
enormous in spite of the heat. There
were enough people there to make
fourteen hundred dollars-twenty-fiy
hundred for the day.
Daphne. trudging to the theater for
her usual stupid rebuff, walked into
this crisis of her life.
Reben himself knocked at her dress
ing room door where Miss Winsor was
helping her with her makeup. He
implored her to be calm. and he was SO
tremulous that he suffered. He told
her that If she made good he would let
her play the part till Miss Kemble
got well. He would pay her a hand
some bonus. He would put her out
at the head Of number two company
next season.
Patterson came at last and ordered
him off the stage. Reben obeyed him
Then Patterson talked to her. He tOlt
her that there was no reason to fear
the house. A Saturday night audience
was always easy. 1t wanted its mon
ey's worth! 1t would help to get it

Mr.. BRYAN'S VIEW.

| MIR. BR1AN'S VIEW.
Hon. William Jennings Bryan is
probably, surpassed by no man in
America for the strength and terse-
ness of his arguments for or against
measure. When in Memphis few
days ago to deliver prohibition lee
lures, he was asked what he thought
of the mo Beer, No Work" move
ment on the part of certain elements
Of our population. Here is the way
Bryan answered it:
"The few wet branches of the labor
organizations are threatening that
they will refuse to work if they can
not get beer. There are several things
that the laboring man should consider
before he joins in this appeal to law
llessness. In the first place, he is a
part Of our citizenship and he has had
his share in voting and he has had his
opportunity like any other voter in
the settlement of this question. He
helped to elect the congressman who
submitted national prohibition. He
helped to elect the legislators who
ratified the national amendment; he
helped to elect the congressman who
voted for war prohibition almost
without an opposing vote. Can he
thus have his share in the making of
the laws and then claim veto over
those laws because he is laboring
man? The question of an eight-hour
day was up two years ago last fall
in the campaign of 1916 and the peo-
pie voted to support the president in
his position on the subject. There
was opposition, very strong opposi-
tion Many of the big employers of
labor fought the president bitterly
on this proposition What would the
laboring man think if after labor had
won the employer started out with
the slogan. No employment for the
laborer if he demands an eight-hour
day.
"A large percentage of the people
in this country are of foreign birth
and have never taken the trouble to
become citizens. They have not cared
to take upon themselves the burden
of American citizenship. Would it
not be little impudent for them TO
put on a No beer, No work button
and demand the right to veto the
laws passed by those who are citi-
Zens?
"A man who, having spent more
for beer for himself than he has for
bread for his family, and who puts
on a button and goes out declaring
that he will not work unless he gets
beer, will not have much influence
upon public opinion The protest of
that kind of man is not apt to move
the conscience of the nation, and the
absurditv of his position is SO APP
parent that it is not likely that there

LESS MEAT # BACK

Take q glass of Salts to flush Kidney
II Bladder bothers you-Drink
lots Of water

Eating meat regularly eventually pro-
duces kidney trouble in some form or
other, says a well-known authority, be-
cause the uric acid in meat excites the
kidneys, they become overworked; get
sluggish; clog up and cause all sorts OF
distress, particularly backkche and mis-
cry in the kidney region; rheumatic twin
ges, severe headaches, acid stomach, con-
stipation, torpid liver, sleeplessness,
bladder and urinary irritation.
The moment your back hurts or kid
neys aren't acting right, or if bladder
bothers you, get about four ounces OF
Jad Salts from any good pharmacy /;
take tablespoonful in a glass OF water
before breakfast for few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This famous
salts ia made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and has been used for generations to
flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them
to normal activity; also to neutraliEe the
acids in the urine so it no longer irri-
tates, thus ending bladder disorders
Jad Salts cannot injure anyone;
makes a delightful efervescent lithiar
water drink which millions Of Eaen and
women take now and then TO keep the
kidneys and urinary organs clean, thus
avoiding serious kidney disease.

can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time; by morning the gray
hair disappears. and after another ap-
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark, glossy and attractive.
