Dear Madam have nursery which
I would be glad to give to some poor

name for it in this city. 1t is nothing
but big square box. one compartment
large enough for about fifteen pound
piece of ice and the other side for food ).
We have bought a regular refrigerator
and have no more use for tho nursery.

happy to get it. It Is still in sound

liable for Tenth Anniversary

To the Editor Of Womdrs Page:
Dear Madam-Kindly advise us as to
how to decorate table for a tenth ami
vcrsary wedding, also what kind of in
vitations can be sent.
A DAILY READER.
The tenth anniversary is tin. and this
gives plenty Of opportunity for dccora
tions. Use tin basin or cake pan filed
with pansy plants or some other flower
that grows close to the ground, as a cen
terpiece. Use brass candlcsticks or any
kind that YOU have and place them in
a tin candy box. Then let strands of
Christmas tree tinscl hang from the
top OF the candlestick to the edges of the
tin box. Use four candlesticks. placing
them at the four corners of the center
piece. Have everything served in tin
pans. and if possible use tin cups in n.
stead of china ones for coffee. Write
your invitations in red ink on silver
paper, which looks like tin foil. For
favors have little decorated tin boxes
on which each guest may carry away a
slice Of wedding" cake, which should
be served on tin pie plate.

CHAPTER XVII.
| Start in a Long Way.

We reached Canton at six o'clock in the evening of a beautiful summer day. I went at once to call upon the Dunkelbergs and learned from a man at work in the dooryard that they had gone away for the summer. How keen was my disappointment I went to the tavern and got my supper and then over to fishery lane to see Mi chacI Racket and his family. I found the schoolmaster playing his violin.
 "Now God be praised-here is BartW he exclaimed as he put down bis instrument and took my hands in his. eve heard, my boy, how bravely ye've weathered the capes an I'm proud O ye-that l amp
 I wondered what he meant for a second and then asked:
 "How go these days with you?"
 Swift as the weaver's shuttle" he answered. "Sit you down, while I cali the family. They're out Tn, the kitchen putting the dishes away. Many hands make light labor"
 They came quickly and gathered about me-a noisy, happy group. The younger children kissed me and sat on my knees and gave me the small news of the neighborhood.
 How good were the look of those friendly faces and the full-hearted pleasure of the whole family at my coming!
 What a joy for the spare roomW exclaimed the schoolmaster. "Sure wouldn't wonder if the old bed was dancin' on its four legs this very min ute."
 'T intend to walk up to the hills to- night" I said.

of the most generous proportions. A big four-post bedstead, draped in white, stood against wall. The bed, sheeted in old linen, had quilted cov- CTS. The room was noticeably clean ; its furniture of old mahogany and its carpet comparatively unworn.
 When I undressed dreaded to put cut the candle. For the first time in years had kind of child-fear of the night. But I went to bed at last and slept rather fitfully, waking often when the cries of the old squire came food ing through the walls How I longed for the light of the morningl It came at last and I rose and dressed and went out of doors.
 Kate met me at the door when l went back into the house and kissed my cheek and again I heard those Ealf-spoken words: "My boy" I ate my breakfast with her and when I was about to get into my saddle at the door I gave her a hug and, as she tenderly patted my cheek, smile lighted her countenance so that it seemed to shine upon me. have never forgotten its serenity and sweet. neSSs

happy spirit Of its master. In rne dead of the night I heard its despair echoing through the silent chambers.
 Kate said little as we ate, or as we sat together in the shabby, great room after supper, but she seemed to enjoy my talk and went into the details of my personal history.
 The look on her face, even while 1 vas speaking, indicated that her thoughts wandered, restlessly, in the gloomy desert of her past. I thought of that gay, birdlike youth of hers of which the old man with the scythe had told me, and wondered. As l was thinking of this there came cry from the aged squire SC loud and doleful that it startled me and l turned ano looked toward the open door.
 Kate rose and came to my side and leaned toward my ear whispering:
 ''It is my father. He is always think ing of when I was a girl. He wants me"
 She bade me good night and left the room. Doubtless it was the out ragged, departed spirit of that golden time which was haunting the old squire. A Bible lay on the table near me and I sat reading it for an hour or so. A tall clock in a corner solemnly tolled the hour of nine. In came the tall woman and asked me in the brogue of the Irish:
 "Would you like to go to bed?"
 "Yes, I am tired"
 She took a candle and led me up { broad oaken stairway and into a room

Rural Members
Fight Auto License
Repayment to Cities

Members of the Legislature are
organizing to fight the movement to
have revenue arising from licensing
of automobiles repaid to the cities
wherein the cars are owned and
used. Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and
other cities are interested in getting
shares of this money. for their streets
which are much used by big trucks.
Senator c. j. Buckman, of Bucks,
who offered the new automobile IL
cense bill, is opposed to the cities
getting the money, holding that if
they did it would reduce the state
revenue applicable to highway main
tenance fifty per cent. Even with
S4,00O,000 now it is not enough to
meet the charges for maintenance.
The new automobile license. regula-
tions VIII raise licenses from five to
twenty dollars on pneumatic tired
cars and also advance trucks. This
should give a total revenue from
motor vehicle licenses of about ST.
100000.
Highway Commissioner Lewis S.
Sadler, who has been beset by dele
gates asking him to make address
es, let it be known to-day that for
the first two months he is going to
be busy recognizing his department
and that. he will not have time for
speeches. Delegates from Hunting

so informed.

with President Poincare. Premier
Clemenceau and possibly Premier
Lloyd George.
He comes to Paris bearing an Of
ficial statement of the views of the
Swiss government on pending inter-
national questions, which Will be laid
before the Peace Congress.
Switzerland expects to be admitted
with other states to the peace nego-
tiations as far as they will deal with
her own special interests or with
problems of general Importance. EX-
clusion from deliberations on prob
lens of the league of nations would
be considered by the Swiss people as
inconsistent with the principles of
democracy. Neutral states. not hav-
ing been called upon to make as
heavy sacrifices as belligerents, have,
nevertheless, suffered severely in con-
sequence of the war. All have been
able. especially in the case of Switz-
erland, to render considerable service
to humanity.
1t is known that Switzerland highly
approves of the creation of a league
of nations for preserving peace, and
expects from 1t complete reform OF
international relations
The Swiss republic recognizes the
necessity for actions which may ulti-
mately consist OF military pressure
within the system of the league Of
nations. Nevertheless, statement
says. Switzerland is determined not
to abandon her neutrality, which is
laid down in the Swiss constitution
and based on the tradition of 400
years of peaceful politics.
Freedom of production and COM
merce is recognized as of vital inn
portance for Switzerland. The Swiss
people hope peace will re-establish
the principle of commercial freedom.
AS a land-locked country. mainly
dependent upon it's share of the
worlds commerce, she highly ap-
proves of the principle of free access
to the sea.
The political, legal and economic
principles formulated by, President
Wilson are so entirely in conformity
with the traditional wants of Switzer-
land that she will adhere to them.

way of their realization" the state

TELLS DYSPEPTICS
WHAT TO EAT
Avoid Indigestion, Sour Acid Stomach


Heartburn, Gas On Stomach, Etc.
Indigestion and practically all
forms of stomach trouble, say medi-
cal authorities, are due nine times
out of ten to an eXcess of hydrochloric
acid in the stomach. Chronic "acid
stomach" is exceedingly dangerous
and sufferers should do either one of
two things.
Either they can go on a limited
and often disagreeable diet, avoiding
foods that disagree with them. that
irritate the stomach and lead to ex-
cess acid secretion or they can eat
as they please in reason and make
1t practice to counteract the eff
feet of the harmful acid and prevent
the formation of gas, sourness or
premature fermentation by the use
of a little Bisurated Magnesia at their
meals.
There is probably no better. safer
or more reliable stomach antiacid
than Blsurated Magnesia and. 1t is
widely used for this purpose. IT has
no direct action on the stomach and
is not q digestent. But a teaspoon
ful OF the powder or couple of five
grain tablets taken in a little water
with the food will neutralize the ex-
and prevent its further formation.
This removes the whole cause of the
trouble and the meal digests natural
and healthfully without need of pep
ly and healthfully without need OF
pepsin pills or artificial digestents.
Get few ounces of Bisurated Mag.
nesia from G. AZ. Gorgas, Kennedy's
or any reliable. druggist. Ask
for either powder or tablets.
1t never comes as liquid
form is not laxative. Try this plan.
and eat what you want at your next
meal and see If this isn't the best adj
vice you ever had on what to eat"
