HOW PLEASE THEM
As Girl Bemoaned, Men Are So
 Unreasonable!
Act Which Saved the Firm Large Sum of Money Brought Forth Stern Condemnation Rather Than
 Thankfuiness.

There was an unhappy pucker in the forehead of the girl In the leather cite coat as she said, "Men are cer- tainly the most unreasonable beings!"
 Marvellous discovery" commented the one In the brown fur as she con- veyed the contents of her tray to the not overly dainty cafeteria table. '1 see might as well listen, so get 1t off your mind."
 You remember" said the leather cited one, "I told you Saturday about having so much money to take care of at the office at closing time? Well, Saturday night robbers broke into the office safe. The night watchman heard them, but while he was flourishing his pistol at them and ordering them to hands up they beat him up and got away"
 With all that money?" moaned the now interested Miss Brown Fur.
 Wait" commanded Leatherette. 'The watchman called up the mana ger of our branch and the police. Then Mir. Giles, the manager, sent for me the first thing Sunday morning. He asked me how much money l had taken in Saturday after banking hours. I told him a little over S2,000. He turned sort of creamy looking. They were all standing there-pollceman detectives, the bandaged watchmHn and my boss-looking at that empty money drawer in the safe as though they were waiting for 1t to Speak up, Ike, m 'spress yourself
 "'DId you want that money now, Mir. GilesT I asked, not apprecIating all the gloom of the situation.
 "'Want itr he roared, and they all looked at me with that expression which says, The poor girl has gone dippy.'
 Then had to explain that had locked the safe Saturday night before I had taken care of the money in the till. was in a hurry cause Clyde was waiting to meet me at closing time and so just slipped all that money into an envelope and stuck 1t in the filing cabinet.
 "So there on Sunday morning took the money out of the envelope and handed 1t over to MT. Giles. He count ed 1t and they nll feasted their eyes on 1t as a father gazes upon long lost son."
 Haven't you omitted the point as to mans unreasonableness?"
 "No. am just coming to that" re- sponded Leatherette. This morning Mir. Giles called me into his office and told me that If I could not be more careful with the firms money he would feel obliged to discharge me-

NEW CLOTHES

Now what woman couldn't be at her beautiful best in all lacey love. Illness And what woman isn't at perfect rest all over when she knows that she is at her beautiful best? There is real efficiency in an indul- gence of this kind
 But to describe the indulgence. It Is lace a wonderfully pretty lace, you know. But even more wonderful is the one-pieceness of it. There is vir- tually no cut at all to this short neg lgee except about the neck. The flowing lines about the arm wouldn't be half so graceful were there "cut" though. But don't. miss the little touches In the way of a panel addi- ton to the front ending in a. pert bit of ruffling. and a charming finish in the way of some silk roses to attract your attention to the panel.

Thousands upon thousands of women

Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy con-

to become diseased.
You may suffer pain in the back, head
ache and loss of ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous, irrita-
BILE and may be respondent; it makes any
one 30.
But hundreds Of women claim that DR..
Kilmer's Swamp Root, by restoring
health to the kidneys, proved to be just
the remedy needed to overcome such
conditions.
Many send for sample bottle to see
what Swamp Root, the great kidney,

HE GOT THE GEORGES MIXED
Baseball Expert Evidently Had Some
thing to Learn About Prominent
Men of the World.

A former pitcher now in the defunct
Northwestern league, who sought
peace and quiet in Seattle shipyard
was discussing the war and kindred
topics during a breathing spell one
day. This hurler is we'll known for
the speed and "stuff'' he gets on the
ball, and is not credited with more
gray matter than the law allows.
This latter circumstance possibly &C.
counts for his end of the following
conversation:
'This war sure has changed things
around some," opined the ballplayer.
"How now?" queried his friend.
"Well, you take England, for m
stance. England always had king
until a short time ago."
whats the matter? Some one take
a shot at King George?'
''Why no, not that. They just don't
call him King George any more. Least
wise the only thing you see in the pa
pers these days is Premier George"

Nervousness and
H headaches Caused
bV Acid Stomach

There is a much closer connection
between the stomach and brain than
most people imagine. 1t is because of
this close connection that indigestion,
belching, sour, gassy stomach and
other stomach miseries-all of which
are sure signs of acid-stomach-are so
often followed by severe attacks OF
binding, splitting headaches.
Nervousness, sleeplessness, irritable
ity, mental depression, melancholia and
many other disorders which affect the
brain can also nearly always be traced
to the same urce-acid-stomach.
So often you hear people say Il am
30 nervous 1 think I'll fly to pieces" j:
or sit seems never get good nights
sleep any more, my nerves are all on
edge" Little do they dream that acid
stomach is the direct cause of their
troubles because very often there are
no pains in the stomach at all. So you
see. you can't always judge an acid
stomach condition by the way your
stomach, itself, feels.
If you are weak, nervous, unfit
you are not up to your old time form
If you lack your accustomed enthu-
siasm, energy and pepmake this test
and see If it isn't acid-stomach that is
holding you back-robbing you of your
health, strength. and vigor. Get a
big box of EATONIC-the wonderful
modern medicine that so quickly puts
an acid stomach to rights 1t is in
the form of pleasant tasting tablets
that you eat like a bit of candy.

acid. Brings instant relief from indi-
gestion, heartburn, sour belching, food
repeating, bloat and gas and makes
the stomach cool, pure. sweet and
comfortable.
Dentists warn us against the bad
effects of acid mouth, pointing out
that the acid eats through the enamel
of the teeth, causing them to decay.
You can easily imagine then the
amount of damage excess acid will
cause to the delicate organization of
the stomach!
Thousands of people are using
EATONIC and the results obtained are
so remarkable as to be almost unbe.
lievable. Yet their letters of graft
tude, many of which are received
daily. prove absolutely that EATONIC
does all and even more than we claim.
The medical profession, too, recog-
nizes the great value Of this wonder
full remedy. A learned Michigan doc
tor wrote recently: II have had such
wonderful success with EATONIC that
1 want every one to know how quick
ly it will neutralize the acidity Of the
stomach (acid-stomach) and the stom-
ach will soon be sweet and normal
again, and the sick man well and
happy once MORE"
- So be sure to get big box of
EATONIC from your druggist today.
If it fails in any way to give you the
kind of satisfaction you want, take 1t
back-he will refund your money. He
doesn't want one penny of your money
unless EATONIC helps you.
