''In my villa on the River Rhine,
 I'll lead a life so rare and fine,
 Entertaining royalty all the while . Said pipe was what brought Herr Son nenkamp back to Germany after years of Among those missing, who are busy getting rich in Anerica.'
 Mein Herr brought back flock of kale, a wife and two children, Mama and Roland. Also an American idea that you could buy whole tub of titles if your spondulix reads the correct num- erals. He bought villa and all the land he could look at, He lived in elegant style, but, though he was generous in tossing out crumbs, the royal birds were wary at pecking with man who hid his past. There were rumors-and then, sud- denly, his daughter Mama, changed from light-hearted girl to a sad-eyed gazelle, entered the convent and de- clared her intention of taking the veil f Roland, too was a trial. The boy was simply professor proof. Tutors cameA and went and old Sonnenkamp advertised for another

 Erich Dournay, doctor of philosophy, ex-army captain, travelling for his health before settling down to support his re- gently widowed mother, read one of the ads and decided to answer It. lie met d friend he had known in the army, Otto von Prancken, and confided to him his intentions, and Won Prancken told him that he was already pretty well known in the family and would give Erich a eletter to the old Herr.
 Prancken took him to pass the night with his sister, Bella and her aged hus- band, Count Clodwig von Wolfsgarten. a When Bella won Prancken had married the old count with one foot tottering on towards eternity, people had said she aspired to be a rich widow, but Bella 4seemed devoted to her husband, and the ,couple lived an ideal existence. clodwis took an instant liking to the philosophl- cal doctor and invited him to camp with them. But Erich shook his head and dashed off on borrowed pinto for Villa Eden, the home of the Sonnenkamps.
 Roland, not knowing him to be the new professor, begged his father to make Erich stay. Erich's nature and philo- sophy were so deep, however. that only Roland and the dogs seemed to under-

stand him. He was complete puzzle to sonnenkamp. But when Erich went home. and Roland ran away to follow him, Sonnenkamp changed his mind and de- cided at once to hire Erich as Rolands tutor at a Babe Ruth salary
 Otto von Prancken lost no time in in- forming Erich that he (Otto) had been chosen as son-in-law to Sonnenkamp and his millions, should Mama ever poke her head out of the convent. And still con tinued the quest of the title. Almost every day Sonnenkamp had we'll adver- tised generosity sprees and sliced a melon for the poor. The watering places inhabited by the prince were sought out as proper points for display of the Son nenkamp wealth, and when somebody suggested that Erich's mother. who had been a lady at court, might lend an atmosphere of gentility, Sonnenkamp hurriedly looked her up and asked her to share his home.
 THE TITLE FLITS NEAR
 At last the Prince did Sonnenkamp the honor to visit his renowned hot house. In the Princes train was a giant American negro named Adams, It seemed as though surely the title would come, soon.
 Mama had returned from the convent as unexpectedly as she had entered. Sonnenkamp received his orders 10 come to court and get his patent of mo- bility. While the Prince was quizzing Sonnenkamp on his past, and that worthy man was protesting he was pure as the orchids of the field the big negro Adams burst into the room and exclaimed, with rolling eyes:
 "Yassir, Marse Prince. dat sho is him. He sho was slave trader. When he tuck me acrost de ocean, he seen a British ship comin and he try to chuck us all in de sea. He choked me, Marse Prince, and I done bit his~finger. You can see de scar right under his ring"
 Mein Herr Sonnenkamp was gently but firmly dismissed from the royal | presence. s A few days later Mama refused to marry won Prancken and declared her love for Erich. Next Count Clodwig died, and scandal developed when they were preparing him for burial. They found marks on his neck showing that he had been choked, and his widow was all but accused of having murdered him.
 Maybe I did handle him a little rough said Bella to Erich, but he was already dead. What do you thing l found round his neck? A picture of his first wife! The ideal"
 THE HERR BREAKS THE TRACES Everything was topsy-turvey in the Sopnenkamp family. One night Son. Inenkamp sneaked out and tapped on Bella's window.
 'Hi. sweet widow" he hailed. Lin coln's been elected President of the United tSates, and they're going to have | hot little scrap. I'm caught up on sham battles, so let's skip over there. you can't hide any secrets in Germany"
 Left in Germany the Sonnenkamp children decided they ought to make it up to Adams for their father having been a slave trader. They brought the negro to their home and Frau Som nenkamp, beholding him, shrieked that

Here's a Test You Can Try Yourself Proves Gritty
 Dentifrices Cause Decay

Many dental authorities have been saying for years that tooth pastes and powders are harsh and harmful to teeth and gums. Try this test for yourself and see what they do Take a little tooth paste on the tip of your finger and rub for minute on your mahog- any table. The little scratches that remain can be seen with the eye. In the same way the constant rubbing of tooth pastes and the enamel which is Natures protection against germs. These little places offer the first loophole for germs to enter. Tooth paste and powders all made from some gritty abrasive substances as base. They also cause raw, open gums, which offer another point of attack for germs. No germ can work in un- broken skin. In spite of the warning of authorities, such tooth troubles as pyorrheA. etc., continue to occur. and many ascribe them to tooth pastes and powders. Evidently. there is truth in this because pyorrhea was almost unknown before these preparations were used.
 The safest, most antiseptic way to care for the teeth is to use mouth wash that keeps the mouth thoroughly antiseptic at all times. Now that Steroline can be obtained at any drug store, this becomes simple. The greatest germ killing agent known during the war is the basis of Steroline. This is Dobelfs s Solution. for fifty years officially approved as a sure germicide at physicians conven- tions. But Dobell's Solution is unsuitable for general use-and it's disadvantages are overcome by Steroline which contains other ingredients that make it. such delight in brushing, and that soothe and allay inflam- nation, and cleanse the teeth. Steroline also stops bleeding gums.
 Tooth pastes and powders cannot reach more than SO per cent of the surface The other 40 per cent is decaying constantly. Only liquid antiseptic, like Steroline. can get all through the mouth and cleanse the hidden surfaces. Start trying Steroline to- day. Lose no time Go to your druggist. buy bottle of Steroline and avoid further danger to your teeth.-Adv.

Argument on 'the most vital

Volstead Act was heard recently in
The United States Supreme Court on
a motion of. two Westchester county

urers appealing from Prohibition
Commissioner John S. Kramer's re-
fusal to permit them to manufact
ure apple cider generating more
than one-half OF one per cent. alco-
holic content in the barrel.
1t is absolutely impossible to make
apple cider behave" In a barrel,
counsel for both sides agreed at the
start of argument. Apple cider that
goes into barrel with mere one
half of one per cent. may emerge
later in an aged and robust condi-

Around this simple proposition 81

SWIFT & CO.'S WEEKLY PRO-
DUCE MARKET REVIEW

Poultry values showed but little
change from the previous week.
Live poultry prices are slightly
higher than last week, due to con-
tinued light receipts and more ac-
tive demand.
There is continued increase il
the production Of fresh eggs
throughout all producing sections,
and fresh eggs in carload lots are
being shipped eastward fron Cali
fornia, Oregon and Washington.
This, with larger production
throughout the Central States, has
caused a reduction in prices in the
larger producing sections, and this
has been reflected in lower prices

Butter production is still reported
above normal; thera was no particu-
lar change in prices during the

with joy and tenderness the budding

little ones--how much would you give
to save one of these children of yours
from torture and death by starvation,

How much would you give?
Your fortunes TO the last dollar, your
hopes of happiness, life itself would be
counted small cost and given willingly
TO save one of these little ones from

the valley of the shadow of death and
gave them their chance of life, the
greatest gift?
Three and half million children of
