Heels are especially made to absorb
these jolts and jars.
To secure the resiliency, the
apin9iness of O'Sullivan's Heels,
the highest grades of rubber are
blended by special formula. With
this blend of live, springy rubber are
compounded" the best toughenine
agents known. The "compomd''
is then Cured" or baked under
high pressure.
BY this means O'Sullivan's Heels
are made to absorb the jolts and jars
of walking. Moreover, the same
process that makes O'Sullivan's
Heels resilient gives them their
great durability. O'Sullivan's Heels
will outlast three pairs of leather
heels-they often outlast two pairs
of ordinary rubber heels.

We have heard much concerning
the high cost of living in this coun-

counts in the newspapers of the
tremendous efforts of the admins

duce the cost of living. and the pub
lie has been led to believe that they
were really IN earnest about it. ANA
yet, could any reasonable person
doubt, in the face of the testimony

the testimony shows amounted 10
approximately 40 per cent Of all the
foodstuffs in the United States. had

as readily as the soldiers were turn
ed back to civil life the price of food
would not have been reduced to a
minimum and the problem of the
high cost of living would have thus
been solved?
Friends of the administration
have contended as an excuse for the
administration that under the stress
of war it was impossible to prevent
waste. but the testimony taken by
the committee disclose the fact that
a great bulk of the foodstuffs of this
country was dissipated and that
millions of dollars were wasted up

and Mary Martin, the daughter Of
rich and worldly parents. hear the
call Of love and unite their lives.
They go to a small Michigan city.
where John finds work in a stove
factory and on Sundays writes
verses. The Martins try in vain to
get the happy wife to leave her
husband. Mary begins to breathe
for two. John loses his Job. He
appeals in vain to the Martins.
Mary goes to the hospital and
never returns. Thus comes into the
story Cornelius Lexington. The
father leaves town and the city
farms u the child. After two
years the father returns and takes
his little son with him on his world
wanderings. The father becomes
the slave OF a mysterious drug,
koresh. with odors OF wine and
cinnamon. and returns with little
Con to die on his wife's grave. Con
Is again farmed out. grows up in
the underworld and is saved for
better things by Andrew March.
So much by way of introduction to
the hero Of the strange adventures
of yellow Men Sleep" These be-
gin when Con takes by force a
small leather sack from Chez Ming,
the Chinese cook of an acquaint-
ance. This sack contains a Chi
nese mar Of the Cobb desert, which
is precious beyond price to Andrew
March. Eighteen years before
armed men in the Cobb had taken
Marcn's wife and infant daughter
from him. Now he sends Con in
search of them. On the voyage
Con finds Chez Ming a fellow pas
senger.
