For a young man with fairly grow

in an ~unthankfuI and dangerous mood.
He had nursed his one grievance till
it began to tinge everything he did
with somber and tragic gloom. He

Says His Prescription
Has Powerful Influence
Over Rheumatism

MIR. James II. Allen suffered for
years with rheumatism. Many times
this terrible disease left him help
less and unable TO work.
He finally decided, after years of
ceaseless study. that no one can be
free from rheumatism until the &C
cumulated impurities, commonly
called uric acid deposits, were dis
solved in the joints and muscles
and expelled from the body.
With this idea in mind he con-
suited physicians, made experiments
and finally compounded a prescrip-
ton that quickly and completely
banished every sign and symptom
OF rheumatism from his system.
He freely gave his discovery to
others who took il. with what might
be called marvellous success. After
years of urging he decided to let
sufferers everywhere know about his
discovery through the newspapers.

For The VALENTINE PARTY

Mary Dawson and Emma P. Tel
ford suggest a very good menu for
the Valentine party lunch: Heart
shaped sandwiches, olives, salted nuts,
cake, ices or ice cream, and punch.
They suggest that heaIt-shaped paper
doilies be used under plates and
dishes, and for a center piece large,
fluffy, red-papcr, hear;-shaped sur
prise pie with red ribbons running
TO each place.
A pleasing drink for the occasion
is pineapple lemonade. Make the
lemonade in the usual way, and to
each glass add one tablespoonful of
finely grated pineapple.
To the end of each red ribbon hid
den in the surprise pie should be at
tached a small token suggesting some
characteristic of the person who will
pull the string. Save the surprise
pie until the end of the lunch--the
suspense will add to the fun
