WORTH WEIGHT
in GOLD" SAYS
COLUMBUS MAN

His wife had worse case of catarrh
you ever saw: dripping, bad breath;
Dreco has relieved it all.
"Dreco has done more for my wife
than any medicine she ever tried,
trying to cure bad case of catarrh. -
and she has taken about all of them.
states Mr. Richard Hill, of 1908 Patten
avenue, Columbus, Ca Mr.. Hill is en-
plOyed as the Harvey Lumber Co., in
a responsible position.
Always there has been a dripping
into the throat from the back of her
nose, which kept her hawking and
splitting, trying to clear her throat.
Her breath was fould; she became
quite nervous; had dizzy spells; appe-
tite went off to nothing and her gen.
eral health was poor.
I'VE kept reading about the new
medicine Dreco, and being believer
in the old time roots and herbs, l
bought her bottle and it has proven
the best money | ever spent. 1t has
positively relieved the catarrh. bad
breath and nervousness. She never
has a dizzy spell any more; her appe-
tite is big and her weight increasing.
Her sleep is sound and refreshing and
she feels young and happy. Dreco has
been worth its weight in gold and l
gladly give a public endorsement for
it."

BARBARA FINDS PROOF OF CHECK
GIVEN NEIL BY BLANCHE.
CHAPTER XIV
By JANE PHELPS.
Copyright. George Mathew Adams)

One rainy morning about a week af-
ter Mrs. Orton's dinner party, 1 went
downtown to do some shopping. Neil
had been so disgruntled and moody,
that l thought would surprise him
by making a visit to his office l had
hardly been able to refrain from ques-
tioning him more at length about his
actions at the dinner, but had COM
PEELED myself to wait
l still held firmly to the idea that it
was my right to know of all that con-
cerned him, even though, after all these
years he still refused to recognize it
as my right But early impressions
are very strong. At home father and
mother had discussed the slightest
matters pertaining to everything con-
corning his business, as we'll as the
home
Neil was out. l seated myself in
his private Office before a long ma
hogany table. / opened the drawer,
and idly turned over the papers.
Should I clear it out for him while l
waited?
I decided that l would. On blot
ter, underneath a lot of papers. was
the fac-simile of a check family out
lined. | recalled that l had read that,
by holding a blotter in front of a mir
ror, one was enabled to decipher the
faintest characters with ease. l had
no thought of spying-no slightest idea
should iny anything save the ordin-
airy check which he had given me for
household expenses 1t was the Gu
rious act, such as is often done be-
cause of some simple reason.
To my surprise, the characters stood
in bold relief. But l fairly gasped
when realized that the check was for
a very large amount, and that it was
signed by Blanche Orion! 1 looked at
the date, and it struck me as coinci-
dent with the visit of that horrid Mr.
Scott. 1 looked at my engagement
book, and saw it was a few days after
[ had entertained him at dinner.
Just why I should have connected
the two things I cannot tell. Why see
ing the check should have reminded
me of Mr.. Scott, I have never under
stood. But I soon fargot the fact in
my desire to know why Blanche Orion
should have given Neil such a check,
and what it had been given for. Of
course, it brought to, mind our talk in
the car, the night of her dinner, also
their argument. This check might
have been the subject of their CONVEX
sation, the topic upon which they so
evidently disagreed Yet, it was dated
so long before.
l laid the blotter on the top of the
table Then I put all the other pa
pers back in the drawer and waited
for Neil. l had come to the office on
impulse He had not looked well for
some days. Really not since the night
of her dinner. He was anxious about
something, but gave me either sharp
or evasive answers when I questioned
him.
More and more was it borne in upon
me that there was something wrong. If
we were living beyond our means, we
must retrench. 1t might be unpleas-
ant, but it was far preferable to hay
ing Neil worried and cross.
I felt quite the helpful wife as
planned that l would tell him of the
many ways in which we could econo-
mize without it becoming too much
of a hardship Then as I glanced

SATURDAY GALA
DAY IN DRIVE;
DORTCARSHOWN

Saturday was gala day in The
Times Recorders big subscription
drive. The famous bort car arrived and
was placed on display in the business
office along with other prizes and they
were viewed and admired by hundreds
who were callers at the office during
the day and up until late in the eve
ming
1t is truly wonderful the large num-
Der of ladies taking part in this cam
paign and was indeed pleasant and
interesting to see and hear the ladies
meet and comment on who would be
the owner of this attractive automo-
bile that is fast becoming the most
famous car sold in this section. Many
are contending for this big prize that
has been promised to some one in re-
turn for their efforts and time, with
letter-THIS is ONE CAMPAIGN IN
out money and without price, and this
promise is being carried out to the
WHICH THERE WILL BE NO MON
Ely SPENDING.
This fact is absolutely true and the
ladies who have thoroughly investigat-
ed the plan and system of issuing votes
,on subscriptions are quite sure that
, the one who really secures the high
est vote in the regular way will be
ahe owner of the car. The other twen-
ty prizes, ten for eacn district, are
not going begging by any means and
the great drive is truly on and on
in good shape. The ladies who have
failed to let their friends know that
they are interested and will be active
are losing votes and those who gave
them votes in the beginning of the
campaign are now placing their votes
for the ones known to be active. More
than hundred of the ladies are as
sisting in this subscription drive and
the many hundreds of subscribers that
are being added to the list and the
payment of subscriptions by those al
ready subscribers assures the cam
paign being one of the most success
full ever attempted in this section of
the state.
So many are taking active parts
that the securing Of votes is most
difficult and the payments of subscrip-
lions seems few to the eager ones,
but when the fact is considered that
the paying of subscriptions is so divid-
ed that no one contestant can have
secured very many to her credit, and
it is simply case of who will be in
the lead at the end of the drive.
The big extra vote for a $4,000
club is still on for this week and those
who really want to assist some en-
trant should pay their subscriptions
this week. 1t is the largest extra vote
that will be offered at any time during
the remaining time of the drive The
campaign ends Saturday, April &c,
1919. Secure the votes while they are
high, for they will commence to de-
cline and decline very fast after this
week.
