to make them feel privileged by be-

"Well, well, YOU look ready for
action,' he said breezily. "Now these
booklets here sell like ice cream cones
when the temperatures around 100.
You get out on the streets, in the

"1'm not so hard up as all that"
the sailor objected. Owe a little

bitches than do that!"

incredulously. "Did you hear that,

Just then one of their new sales

The leading member of the firm

SO they parted.
AS he wandered over toward the
"L' station the sailor wondered
whether his lack Of moral support
hadn't really robbed the soldier of

tried it, after all.
AT the foot of the 81" steps he

How ugly the workmen looked,
how dirty their job. The COB
looked at them, fascinated. So that
was civilian life.
Reaching under his blouse he
took out his worn money belt and
inspected its contents. Thirty dol

would be good for some time. But
if he'd reenlist in the navy he could
have good time on that $50 and
get good reGnlistment bonus, too.
Out in the street the foreman
stirred from his sand pile.
"Get a move on there. YOU
hunks" he was saying to his crew.
"J'd t'ink this is an Old mans
home?"
"Dig ditches."
A street vender came bv.
Here you are, all about our
boys overseas. Latest book; all for
25 cents. You help a service man

That settled it. The COB straight
cned up, jammed his money belt
back into place, and pulled his hat
firmly down. Then he started over
to where the foreman Of the street
gang sat. pulling at his pipe.

"And haven't they asked to have

Joe paused dramatically, and

Home-baked bread and pies fol-

A candidate for County Surrogate,

One Of the candidates had seen
service in France as a brigadier

was an unusually good looking man.
When he arrived with his wife on
his arm there was visible flutter
among the other women.
And when he departed, this brig

The next day the local papers an

INTO the park to get wet in the foun-
tain and dry on the grass is heart
warming one, but it is not real. ANY
child who would run up from Third
Avenue and into the park would cut
and bruise himself severely on the
mute iron guardsmen of the delect-
able innards of the park. An iron
and picket fence many feet higher
than any kid from Third Avenue
could climb protects the park.
But it is not closed to all chill
dren. The sons and daughters of
the members of the Gramcrcv Park
Neighborhood Association carry
keys to the park. They fit these

wide the door and slam it shut, to

OF course, even if a little guy
lives on Third Avenue and his father
doesn't belong to the association
there is nothing to keep him from
pccring through the ribs of the
fence into the park.

THERE are some New Workers
who are SO provincial that they
think the North Pole is jus.
above Yonkers. A few of them
have gone on dollar and a half ex-
cursions to Mauch Chunk, while
some, more widely travelled, have
gone on the boat to Keansburg.
In the hearts of some of these
who believe that New York's six
million are all the worlds civilized
population there exists, shoulder
ing but alive, a longing for the
open, green country. Sometimes,
when the city gets a tri1e more
rough than usual, or when autos
come uncomfortably close, this long

spending four summer vacations at

interrupted only by few smooth

Third Avenue is block away
from the easternmost end of Ora

railroad on Third Avenue and there
are some little stores, with warm in

People live over these stores, people
with many children, who have dirty
faces and get run over occasionally.
Nothing could be more as it should
be than the attraction of Gramercy

the stores. 1t is only one block

Many Remedies, But Simple Herb
Medicine Is the Only Thing That Did
The work.

"Dreco, the new herb medicine, has
certainly fixed me up in great shape"
are the words of Mr.. J. Y. Simmons,
Twin at POS goth Street, Savannah,
and who is a ship carpenter for the
Foundation Company.
For a long time I have suffered
from catarrh of the head and nose"
he continued, "and have taken many
medicines but none of them ever did
me any good. The catarrh got so bad
that the drippings from the back of
my nose into my throat kept my voice
husky all the time and I was contin-
ually trying to clear my throat. My
breath was so foul that really I was
embarrassed to go into company. l
had headaches nearly all the time.
''Now that is how bad l was when
I bought my first bottle of Dreco. That
bottle did me lot of good and I kept
buying it and | am here today to tell

aches and my breath is as pure as

Dreco is made from the juices and
extracts of many different roots. herbs
barks and berries. which act on the
vital organs of the human system. It
purifies the blood. thereby relieving
catarrh, rheumatism and many other
ailments. 1t keeps the bowels NOV

bile from the liver, relieving dizzy
spells, headaches, spots dancing be-
fore the eyes, heartburn and many
forms of stomach trouble.

How a Father Has Learned to
Save Shoe Bills.

MY son is very hard on shoes, SO
keeping him properly shod has been
quite an expense to me, " writes Mr.. ].
Allison Allen, of Amity, Arkansas.
But since started to buy Ne0lin-
soled shoes for him | have found that
it costs only about a third as much to
keep him in shoes"
This is because Ne0lin Soles are so
tough and durable that they wear
very long time Shoe bills are kept
down because you don't need so many
pairs.
You can get Neolin-soled shoes at
almost any good shoe store. They
come in all styles and for all members
of the family. Neolin Soles are also
available everywhere for re-soling.
They are produced by a scientific pro-
cess to be what soles ought to be: CON-
Portable, waterproof and long-wearing
They are made by The Goodyear Tire
& Rubber Company, Akron, Ohio, who
also make Wingfoot Heels, guaranteed
to outwear any other heels.
