WOMEN! DRY CLEAN
THINGS AT HOME
Try It'll For a few cents you can
dry clean everything.

Save five to ten dollars quickly by
dry cleaning everything In the home
with gasoline that would be ruined by
soap and water--suits, coats, waists.
slksS laces. gloves. shoes, furs, drap-
cries, rugs-cverythingl
Place a gallon or more Of gasoline In
a dishpan or washboiler, then put in
the things to be dry cleaned, then
wash them with Solvite sap. Shortly
everything comes out looking like new.
Nothing fades, shrinks or wrinkles.
Do not attempt to dry clean without
Solvite soap. This gasoline soap is the
secret Of all dry cleaning.
A package of Solvite soap containing
directions for home dry cleaning, costs
little at any drug store. Dry clean out
doors or away from flame.-Adv.

New ZeaIand's Pest, the Kea.

New Zealand farmers have started a
crusade against the kea. The bird
threatens to kill off thousands of sheep
and ruin the country's industry. The
kea is kind of parrot, smaller than
the rook, and has an immensely strong
beak and claws. Forty years ago there
were very few kea parrots in New
Zealand, but they are now the COM
monest birds in the islands. The kea
attacks sheep day and night. 1t strikes
the sheep on the head, tears open the
body with it's claws, and gorges on the
warm flesh. Hundreds of these ma
rauders have been killed, but, in spite
of this, seem to thrive. The curious
thing is chat the male bird can not
be distinguished from the hen, and no
nest has ever been found. No one is
able to say where the bird breeds and
when, and young birds are never seen

ToRPED0ED!
Don't blast your Liver and
Bowels, but take
"CascaretS."

You men and women who can't get
feeling right-whO have headache,
coated tongue, bad taste and foul
breath, dizziness, can't sleep, are bill
ious, nervous and upset, bothered with
sick, gassy, disordered stomach and
colds.
Are you keeping your liver and bow
els clean with Cascarets, or shocking
your insides every few days with Cal.
omel, Salts, Oil and violent pills?
Cascarets work while you sleep; they
cleanse the stomach, remove the sour,
undigested, fermenting food and foul
gases; take the excess bile from the
liver and carry out of the system all
the constipated waste matter and poi
son in the bowels. Cascarets never
grippe, sicken or cause inconvenience
and Cascarets cost so little too.-Adv.

KEEN ON FAMILY TRADITION
Mothers Usually Impress Offspring
With the GIories Of Her Side
Of the House.

No matter how maSterful the hus-
band may be; and no matter from
what high estate he came, nor how
subordinated his wife may appear, be
sure that the wife always compares
her family to his, and hers always
shines by comparison.
Through the generations the moth
ers have taken this subtle revenge on
man.
Though they lost their family name,
still they kept in their hearts a con-
viction Of the high estate of their
house.
And to their children they impaired
reverence for the glories Of the moth
er tribe.
It is ten-to-one chance that your
maternal grandmother either in person
or by tradition, meant more to you as
child than your paternal grand
mother.
Most of us know mighty little about
our fathers folks; about their fam
ily glories and achievements.
But we know what our maternal
great-great-grandmother did.
You will note that the Daughters OF
the American Revolution are as po-
tent an organization today as they
were a generation ago, says Omaha
News. Sons of the American Revolu-
ton are seldom heard of.
If it depended on dad to uphold fam
lily tradition he probably would dwell
as much on his great-uncle, who was
hanged by the neck until dead, as on
his great-great-grandfather, who was

ly he reached out and shook the others
hands,
congratulations, Halliday" he said,
II suppose now you and Miss Deane-"
He broke off. "Well, one mans loss is
another mans gain. l shall be losing
the best secretary ever had" He
dropped his eyes from the young mans
face. Halliday stared at him mysti-
fed.
"Why, what's the big idea, Mr.. TRAY
ers? You won't be losing her through
me-"
"But Ill understood you were be-
trothed," stammered the manager.
"Say, Mr.. Travers, what do you take
me fora Holygamist? laughed Halli-
day.
Travers looked at him sternly. He
resented the flippant tone in the words.
Il take you for nothing but an hon.
orable man, Mr. Halliday. With your
salary, l presume you will not expect
your wife to work?"
Il hope not, indeed" responded the
younger man, "but in any case, sir,
don't think it is likely to affect you.
came to inform you that yesterday
married Miss Julia Deane's sister,"
With a very heartfelt handshake,
which caused the young benedict to
wonder at its intensity. Travers wished
hio iuninys ho nF1 11Y 0Jy nd ctr
est congratulations. 81 hope you may
be very happy with Julia Deane's SIS
ter" he said, smiling.
1t was late in the afternoon that
Henry Travers called his secretary to
take dictation. No mention was made
on either part of the incident of the
morning. When the last letter had
been taken down the girl rose to her
feet. The feeling of restraint that had
been felt all along was now raised to
a vibrant pitch.
The fall evening was blurring into
faint outlines the familiar objects
about the room. AS the secretary
moved across to the door without turn
ing her head, she asked question.
"Shall I put on the light?" Travers,
standing at his desk, idly lingering
some papers, answered "Yes." Then
hastily correcting himself, cried mo,
no." He crossed the room in couple
OF strides and faced the girl.
"Julia" he cried, and an echo of
the masterfulness that had so fallen
from him during the day had come
back to him. But the girl did not seem
to heed him. She stood waiting, her
eyes cast downward to the floor.
Julia" he said again, and vibrant
pleading was in his voice. He saw a
white hand f1utter upward in the vague
dimness and press against her heart.
He threw out his hands in self -exulta-
ton.
"How could / tell loved you," he
cried, until I saw that kiss this morn
ing-in the outer Office. knowledge
comes with suffering-and I suffered
then" He took step toward her.
She did not move. Reverently he put
his arms about the yielding figure, and
as the night dropped it's soft folds
around them he bent his head and put
his lips to those upheld to him.

tion of affairs cannot exist. We are
here for business, pure and simple"
He regarded the girl with stern eyes.
"For the general efficiency and disci-
pline Of the Office" he went on, "kind-
ly see that it does not occur again"
He bowed in a grandiOse manner to in
dicate that the interview was at an
end and bent over his desk. That mat
ter was disposed Of.
The color rose to the face of the
girl, and for moment her eyes regard
ed him dumfounded, then without a
word she turned and left the room.
Alone in his office Henry Travers
tried to concentrate his mind on the
business in hand. But he felt strange
ly disturbed. The little incident that
had just occurred insisted on occupying
his thoughts, try as he might to put it
from him.
He was not sure that he had acted
rightly. He realized, too, that he had
spoken harShly, when he had meant
only to be emphatic; where cOldness
throb of passion had crept into his
tones.
In the six months he had been man.
ager of the Worthwhile Glove COM
pany he had always found Julia Deane
loyal and dependable lieutenant. He
had come to rely on her more than he
had hitherto realized. And the quiet,
self-assured manner with which she
carried out her duties had made a
powerful impression ON his business
sense.
But there had been no other feeling
for her. In oil his years he had never
allowed any lesser consideration TO
blind the vision of his mental activi-
ties.
Now, like distorting mirror, flash
ed before his eyes, he saw and recog-
nized the leering face Of jealousy and
the canker had entered his being.
Gladly would he have fired Halliday,
but he could not sink to the humilia-
ton Of letting his personal feelings
overcome his common sense.
AS he sat at his desk, vainly trying
