felt sorry for Ann. The beach, at
one side of the Point, was the scene
of Ives murder. l wondered how
Ann would stand the trip.
Deborah Burns had proposed the
excursion. Suddenly, l remembered
that Mother Lorimer had always ad-
mired Deborah and had wanted our
Jim to marry her.
That match was one of the many
which the war had spoiled. Jim had
liked Deborah, tremendously, but she
was young, and it wasn't her turn to
become engaged. She had older sis
tiers, whom her mother desired to dis
pose of first. So an engagement be-
tween Deborah and Jim had been de-
layed. The war came and jim en-
listed in the aviation service, while
Deborah, by supplying her own car,
and providing for its up-keep as well
as her own, had been sent abroad by
one of the welfare organizations. !,
When the war was over, Jim had
eloped with girl whom nobody had
ever heard of!
Irrespective of her wealth and her
social connections, taking her as a hu-
man being, anybody could see that
Deborah was SUPERIOR to Ann.
When / considered Dehorah's COM
bination of accomplishments and COM
mon sense, / perceived sthat Mother
Lorimer was bearing certain cross
very nobly.
And 1 hoped and prayed that our
Jimmy-boy never could discover. what
a wonderful young woman Deborah
Burns had become. Certainly we
didn't want another triangle" to de-
velop in the Lorimer family.

ROCKING CHAIR is IND0RSED
French Authorities Declare Great

PhysiologieaIIy Correct.
THE esNrAvR COMPANY. NEW YORK CITY.

Nobody who has studied the rocking
chair will be surprised 10 hear that
the French Academy of Science has
declared it the most hygienic of all
seats instead of a mere American fad.
1t is, as the academy says, physiologi-
cally correct. The trouble with it is
that it is not always psychologicalIy
correct. Its baneful effects are not on
the rocker, but on the beholder. 1t is
an all-around joy only when it is not
rocked New England ladies used to
test new neighbor by getting her to
sit in a rocking chair. If she could re-
sist rocking she was of the elect. This
simple test of the nerves has made or
marred great many newcomers pop

/ The advantage of the rocking chair
is that it puts the body in perfect
balance The skull is kept in the prop
er position. But oscillation does not
add to the benefit. 1t is good to find
an invention which has been maligned
because of misuse indorsed by the
scientists. Let these gentlemen next
find something good to say about silk

If You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that SO many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it..
A prominent druggist says "Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has SO large
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulhlls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle OF
Swamp Root by Parcels Post. Address
DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. T.,
and enclose ten cents; also mention this
paper. Large and medium size bottles
for sale at all drug stores.-Adv.

FIND ALTAR ROOM OF AZTECS
Interesting Discovery in Pueblo Ruin
in New Mexico Has Recently
Been Made.

The most satisfactory event to mark
so far the work of the American Mu-
scum of Natural History in its exca-
vation of the Pueblo ruin at Aztec, N.
NJ, is the recent discovery of what was
evidently the holiest shrine of this pre-
historic people, records Popular Me-
chanics Magazine. 1t takes the form
of a room, bare of furniture, but in
perfect condition. The walls are plas-
tered, and are painted in a glaring
white with dull red borders and a
frieze of triangular designs. On the
ceiling beams are strange marks made
by rubbing the palm and fingers in
white paint, and then pressing them
upon the wood. From these beams
hang several strands of beautifully
made rope, presumably for the support
of some sacred objects. On the cell
ing, too, is carved serpent, two and
one-half feet in length, and in design
unlike anything known to the archeolo-
gists in charge.

ASSERTS HYPO-COD
IS BEST TONIC
On MARKET
Famous Analytical and Consult
ing Chemist Makes
Statement.

The glowing tribute paid Earle's
Hypo-Cod by Professor T. Bernard
Tanner, M. &c., P. D., the famous
Philadelphia Analytical and Consult
ing Chemist, verifies what has previ-
ously been said by scores of other
well-knOwn experts.
In view of such unqualified indorse-
ments, a copy of Professor Tanners
statement following, it is no wonder
that leading druggists are everywhere
indorsing and introducing Earle's
Hypo-Cod in preference to other tonics.
During the past several weeks I
have had occasion to examine a num-
ber of preparations of Cod Liver OIL
in various combinations. Among these
preparations brought to my attention
was Earle's Hypo-Cod and feel 1t my
duty to add my opinion to that of sew
eral of my friends and colleagues with
reference to the merits of this tonic.
"In my opinion it is the best bal
anced Cod Liver Oil preparation on
the market today and contains more
of the active principles of Cod Liver
Oil, deprived of the fatty. nauseating
effects, than any other similar prepa-
ration. This combined with the guam
tity of Malt which is present in Hypo-
Cod and the combined Hypo-Phos-
phites of Lime, Soda, Potash. Manga
uese, Iron, Quinine and Strychnine,
make Hypo-Cod an ideal reconstruc-
tive tonic and tissue builder.
'"The pleasant aromatic taste OBJ
tanned by the use of Oils. which, in
themselves, aid in the preparation be-
ing readily assimilated, which is not
the case in preparations Of Cod Liver.
Oil having a disagreeable taste.
81 believe you are doing real serv-
ice to humanity in manufacturing
Earle's Hypo-Cod and congratulate
you on developing such a splendid
preparation" Signed, T. Bernard Tan
ner, M. &c., P. D., Analytical and Con-
sulting Chemist, Philadelphia, Pa.
