1t is natural to assume that certain

is not the case With mosquitoes. Ac-
cording to an expert of the department
of agriculture, who is held TO be the
foremost authority on what is some
times called the New Jersey canary"
his researches indicate that the inhab-
ltants of ancient Greece We're some
times forced to abandon their dwell

toes. The citizens of Monte, a rich
city of Ionia, fed from the mosquitoes
of Mileta, and Permamo, beautiful
city in Asia Minor, was abandoned for
the same reason.

In certain regions of South America

There is even mosquito story
which had the hardihood toattack the
veracity of George Washington, or

womans Efficiency in Business" was
the caption under which the cut was
run.
Underneath, in a masculine hand,
was written. "Isobel Newton. Business
Woman" Her cheeks scorched sud
denly at the scorn she felt Ii implied.
Then the hot blood receded till 1t left
her cold and still. So that was the
way he thought OF her. "lsobel New
ton, Business Woman Again came
the flush of shame, succeeded by bitter
anger at herself. Why should she be
ashamed of what she was? She had
always been proud of her success. Ana
now, merely because Austin STAFFORD
had scrubbed that silly bit below her
picture. she felt as guilty as though
she were a criminal.
A hitherto unknown WEAKNESS as
sailed her. She turned and walked
uncertainty out of the room, across the
hall, and into her now orderly office.
The rows of technical books, the
filing cabinets, every evidence OF her
modern methods seemed to press upon
and choke her as she looked at them,
She opened drawer after drawer OF
her desk Everything was g mute tes-
timony to the success with which she
had met the events which came into
her affairs, yet to her it now seemed
a hopeless tumble of things that did
not compensate. After all, well-kept
Office and smart boarding place were
inadequate when it came to satisfy the
soul need of woman.
With the realization came tears
the tears which Isobel had denied her
self through all the years of her
struggle, and they washed away all
the barriers she had rigidly erected
around her heart. She knew that she
had failed in the big thing of life, and
failure was not sweet.

My kidneas were weak and irregular
in action | read of Doan's and what
they had done for people | knew. |

praising them. They cured me of a
