A little girl whose father Is widely
known as a writer Of humorous sto-
rles. was recently approached by .

who knows SO many fine stories."
The little girl blushed and hung her
head.
Aren't you proud Of your papaT'
the visitor asked.
"Yes," the little girl answered, but
I think l ought to tell you something"
"What Is it?'
"The stories Of my papa's aren't
stories at ALL"
"Not stOriesf
"No."
And In a deep hoarse whisper, the
child confessed.

Drummond had acted on the spur Of

tainly one Of his caliber, to have

without doing something to try to help
him. At the same time the last thing
he had wanted to do was to give away
his presence on the roof. The lnforma.

Of such vital Importance that It was
absolutely essential for him to get
away with It somehow: and, at the mo-

BUNDLES BRING
CHEER TO POOR
Bob Anqlin Tells of De
livering Gifts OF
Clothing

'If those people who so kindly con
tributed clothing and other articles
for the poor Of the county had been
with me Sunday afternoon to see the
aftermath of their generosity, THEN
hearts would have been as light with
happiness as the recipients were of
ioy at the gifts" said Bob Anglin,
Yesterday to a Times Recorder re-
porter. 1t did my heart good to see
their faces light up with gladness as
the bundles were opened and the
contents examined.
"A particularly happy moment was
when the pretty young girl mentioned
in a previous article opened her
package and found some shoes, hose
and blouse that would cover her
shoulders from the suns rays" added
Mr.. Anglin. Her face was radiant
with smiles, and she said that the
work in the fields would neither be
so hot nor so hard with sufficient
covering to protect her.
In all the other homes that | went
distributing the packages which were
given last week, joy and gladness and
happiness trailed in my wake. The
dear old lady, who lives on the river,
and who has been so sick all the year,
was pathetically happy over a pair
of shoes for her feet. As she put them
on and stood up on the floor, she
smiled as she walked about, and said
that ii did feel so good 10 have on
soft pair of shoes again. Even at
that, she had on undershirt sleeves
for stockings. having none to wear
with the shoes. Several people went
with me on the distributing excursion,
and they saw the happiness that the
packages afforded.
"These same people said that they
were hungry and had had nothing to
eat all day. / am human myself, and
don't always believe everything that
is told me, so ] asked them to take
me into the kitchen so that l might
see the truth of their statement. Sure
enough, on investigation, there was

sift of flour. | gave them enough
provisions to last them for several

days, and all the while, my heart aeh-
ed for such poverty.
There IS a family of Methodists
living seven miles from Amerlcus who
would like to attend services. They
have been only three times III the
last four years. Their lack IS suffi-
cient clothes. They say that fine
clothes would be out of all propriety
with them, but that they would like
plain, common clothes in which to be
presentable to attend the house of
worship. This family consists of a
widow with children, who IS doing
the very best that human power can
to make sufficient food for them.
Clothing is almost a thing of the past
with her. 1t takes many hard lick
to provide food for six hungry
mouths. In this day and time, when
we are taught that salvation is free,
and the house of God is open to all
who will come, this family is with
held from the blessing of attendance
because of insufficient clothing.
Another thing" continued Mr..
Anglin, 81 have wondered if | might
ask the merchants through the news
paper columns to go through their
stocks and find SOME articles which
are unstable on their shelves that
would provide real wealth to the peo-
pie with whom | come in contact?
That would not be asking too much
of them to give something they can
not sell, would it? And | wonder
ed if it would be wrong to make a
list Of the articles which are impcra-
lively necessary at this time and let
the public see the things which are
needed.
IN try it, anyway. Maybe some
hearts will be opened to,see their way
clear to contribute some things that
will enable the children of the above
mentioned family to attend Sunday
school and church services"

PUT ON WEIGHT IN
FEW DAYS
Scientists Discover That Vitamines In
Yeast Build Up Rundown people
Can Now Be Taken In
Tablet Form

Scores of people who eat plenty Of
food, and seem to have good apPe-
tites, remain thin. anaemic and run
down. and only recently the real
cause has been discovered. II is lack
of vitamines. Vitamines are tiny
vegetable elements, now known to
exert mysterious power on the bod
lily cells, and thus produce energy,
strength and glowing health in hu
man beings. Yet they are almost
wholly lacking in the average mod
ern diet, because our methods of
food preparation seem to kill the eff
feet of vitamines in food And now
scientists have learned that ordinary
yeast is wonderfully rich in vitamines
A little yeast added to the meals has
so helped rundown people that tt
have put on flesh in a few days. It
renews the youth of prematurely old
people and makes children grow more
sturdy.
Numberless experiments in the
greatest medical institutions have
proved these facts conclusively But
the common yeast cake. containing
only 20%o yeast and 500 starch and
water is ineffective. After thorough
investigation authorities agree that
the ideal yeast is brewers yeast, and
this form of yeast has now been pre-
pared in highly concentrated tablets,
containing great vitamine strength
and combined with tones, such as
iron, which makes yeast more effec-
tive.
These tablets are called IRONIZED
Yeast. They are sold by all drug
gists and are the approved vitamine
tonic treatment. IRONIZED YEAST
tablets are convenient to carry and
pleasant to take-they never naus.
cate. IRONIZED YEAST costs only
little more to the dose, than the
common yeast cake (only 10 cents a
day., and is far more beneficial.

the boy. now IS years old, in the face
with his fist, knocking out one tooth,
when the boy held the Hodges dog
off his own dog after the Hodges
dog was getting the best OF the fight;
1t was charged that the blow caused
abcesses in the boys teeth and injur-
ed his health.
The defense had not been disclosed
when the noon recess was taken, but
it was indicated from the cross ques-
tioning that it would be that only
one blow was struck, that Mr.. Hold
ges was only protecting his own dog
after the boys had started the fight
and were holding his dog while theirs
attacked it. Ii was developed by the
defense that the boy continued to
work in the field, it being contended,
therefore, that he was not severely
hurt. The Talents moved 20 anoth-
er farm last winter.
