Presbyterian and highly moral man. l remember his speech in Con gress advocating exempting from taxation the manufacture of wine or liquors of any kind by farmers who grew grain and fruit. when such prod uct was for home use. He took the position that the good Lord intended for the use of man any and all things produced by the sweat of his brow, and that if his products contain all cohol it was intended for his use. He wanted the tax burden borne by the sales that might be made.
 These observations must not be ac- counted advocacy of a change of the prohibition laws, for they are now fixed fast by state and federal con stitution. The right or wrong of the law is not subject to discussion and some of the third house members have lost their occupation. So mote 1t be.
 The hotel registers here now indi- cate many arrivals of summer visitors from nearly all the southern states, as far out as Oklahoma, and from many northern states. all attracted by the delightful climate and beauti- full scenery of this sapphire country Many of them come by automobiles
 Judging from the price of lots, the street grading and permanent paving in course of construction and the op- timistic expressions of this people, 1t seems they expect for their little city rapid growth and development, and do not wonder. for they surely hold the drawing card.

CIV-Mary's Plan

She jumped up from her recum- bent position and turned on the lisht. In the mirror she could see her own pale face. It looked ghost-like.
 Oh! what an idiot I ann She rubbed her eyes and shook herself "I must have eaten something at tea some kind of fancy little cake that didn't agree with my digestion"
 She tried to laugh. But she had certainly received a fright. She didn't feel like laughing.
 Twice she'd dreamed that hateful dream! Did dreams have a meaning. point warning?--as so many peo- pie claimed they did.
 If that were so, then danger threat ened--from the Cingalee, and possi- ply from Eve and Vandaveer The Cingalee was their catspaw. He would do their bidding.
 She drew the blind and locked her bedroom door. Then, cautiously, sne flooring and drew out little car d. board box.
 With fingers that trembled uncon- trollably she raised its lid and lifted out small, hard object wrapped in tissue paper.
 Yes it was there intact--the dia- mond
 Surely her dream had been warn. ing! It would be wrong to ignore it! It hinted plainly that more trou- ble day ahead.
 Kismet was watching her. Even now he might be lurking in the neighborhood.
 True, the police were on his track -or thought they werel
 But the Cingalee was just as slip pery as snake, and just as silent! They'd never catch him.
 Tomorrow she would go up to town and sell the diamond
 Mary held it tightly in her hand.
 I'm frightened, Horribly fright . ened!' she whispered. "Kismet will follow me-he may even try to mur- der me, as he did Dickr
 And then she told herself she was coward. After all. what did her safety matter in comparison with the clearing of Dicks debt?
 But if l were half killed the dia- mond would be stolen from me, and the debt never would be wiped out?'
 Mary pondered deeply. It wasn't safe to have the diamond in her own

possession, that was sure and cer- tain!
 Then bright thought struck the girl.
 "Tn post 1t up to town tonight by registered mail. I'll address it to myself at my New York boarding- house! l can squeeze it in among a lot of business papers, so no one will suspect its presence--or its value' Then, tomorrow. I shall call and get 1t and take 1t to a first class jeweler to be valuedr
 Mary drew out her watch The postoffice closed at s o'clock She must hurry if she was to catch the mail
 She hunted in her trunk for cer- tain business papers. Found them at last. They were merely carbon cop ies of some work she had been do- ing-unimportant now. They would dol
 She found a large, stiff envelope. just the right size for the papers She folded them and put them in
 And then she slipped the diamond. carefully wrapped in cottonwood. between the heavy sheets that lay inside the envelope. She felt the envelope with her fin gers. It was very thick and solid One could not guess the presence of the diamond, or of any small, hard body.
 "splendidw calculated Mary, all smiles now.
 Then her face fell a little. For how was she to get this packet to the postoffice without the. risk of Kismet turning up and snatching it from her grasp? For a foolish moment she thought of telephoning Darlington Bellalrs | and asking him to come and help i her.
 Then immediately she repudiated that idea. Bellairs was Dicks enemy. l He was angry with her, too. He wouldn't help at all
 It was even possible that he might steal the diamond. He was none too scrupulous. Mary knew that well. No, she mustn't notify the White Lodge of her intention. Even to telephone would in itself be dan gerous The wire had ears Out in the courtyard of the Barley Now she heard the rumbling of cart She drew the blind and peered outside.
 There stood Steve and Pete-two burly farm hands.
 An idea struck the girl Perhaps the cart was going towards the rail- l rectly on that route.
 She flung her coat and hat on and slipped out | The cart was loaded with turnips and potatoes. Yes, Steve and Pete were driving their load to farm quite close to the station If Mrs. Calardin cared to ride--they grinned q little sheepshly, they'd be glad to have her come with theml | They were rough, kindly, simple fellows They helped her to climb up on the cart. Clutching her precious envelope. she ascended. The trio drove away with a great chatter, The cart was springless and uncomfortable, but Mary didn't care. | With two great giants such as Steve and Pete she'd be quite thor oughl% protected against all the Kis- nets in the universel l They dropped her at the postoffioe. Mary went inside and registered her letter. She saw it go into the eve ming mail for New York. She heaYed great sigh of sheer relief. Tomorrow morning I'll go up to the city, and dispose of the diamond 1 for the best possib1- price," she told herself
 Within an hour she was back in the shelter of the Barley Now. That night she sat beside Dicks bed. He was a little restless and he

THOUSANDS HAVE BAD BREATH AND
 DON'T KNOW IT

Nothing is more offensive than a bad breath. Yet thousands of people suffer with this distressing afflic- tion-and the surprising part of it is that good part of them do not even realize it. Most people hesitate even to mention this disagreeable subject.
 An excellent remedy for bad breath is daily use of an antiseptic mouth wash such as Steroline. A few drops of Steroline on your tooth brush will keep your mouth cool, sweet and fresh. It makes an excellent denN- frioe. as it gets between the teeth, reaching all the hidden spots that or dinary tooth pastes and powders can- not reach. It arrests decay which is one of the commonest causes of bad breath and gives your mouth that clean feeling" Get Steroline from your druggist todayl-Adv.

NATION DEPENDS UPON HOME.
Great Truth Revealed by the War 10
Not Likely to Be Forgotten
When lt Ends.

IF the health of the people had
been looked after properly, Britain
would have million more fighting
men at the front. You cannot have
an Al nation with a C-3 population"
declared Premier Lloyd George in a
recent speech at Manchester. Here In
America the same thought was forced
upon us by the disclosures Of physical
unfitness in the selective draft, and the
comment was made that the military
loss thus represented was Just as
much a loss to the nation industrially
and economically.
The British statesman proposes to
do more than talk about it. He says
the abolition of the evil social condi-
tons Of pre-war days will be the
greatest problem after the coming Of
peace. He uses smile that win APP
peal to Pittsburgh: "With our ma
chinery we take the greatest care. The
way we look after it If the steel is de-

aged, the quality becomes defective
and 1t cannot bear the strain"
To enable the nation to bear the. gi-
gantic burden of debt the war will i'm
pose on 1t and the still greater burden
OF recuperation and reconstruction,
Lloyd George warns the national re-
sources must be developed to the full.
First among these is the human factor.
Just as today everyone Of us was ex-
pected to do his or her part toward the
winning Of the war; when the sense of
common peril brought to each and all
the sense Of interdependence, Lloyd
George insists that In the years to
come we must carry the same spirit
into the everyday life of the nation.
We must concern ourselves with the
care Of our fellow citizens, the steel
In the national machine upon which we
all depend. We cannot after the war
withdraw ourselves into our pre-war
selfish isolation. We must constantly
keep before us and act upon the same
enlightened spirit of comradeship we
exact today from every fellow citizen.
n we want to remain an Al nation,
we must see that we have the fewest
posNible C-S men, women and children.
