the boy. They had been off for many
adventures and at times 1t seemed al
most as If 1t could not be true.
Now they saw little brownie stand
ing before them. I'm Sir Gallantry,"
he said. "and I am here to welcome
you to the House Of Secrets!"
"The House Of Secretsw exclaimed
the girl.
"The House of Secrets!" shouted
the boy, who was just collecting his
wits after long sleep!
They looked about them then and
saw just little, little bit Of a way
from them-not any further than they
could throw stone-a house. It was
a rounded house and there seemed to
be doors everywhere. The doors from
the different rooms opened outside into
the garden, for there was a garden
too, q garden with lovely flowers and
soft, green lawns.
ITO think that we're here" gasped
the girl. "It seems too marvellous to
be true"
II thought-why yes, the last knew
we were at the Hospitality hotel" said
the boy. "Did it stretch right over to
the House of Secrets?"
Sir Gallantry laughed. "No." he
answered, at didn't do quite that. But

you to the house as you slept. They

Mrs. Osborne Says She Shudders
When She Thinks How
She Suffered.

"For years." said Mrs. V. B. Osborne,
of 71S Lancaster Ave., Lexington, KY.
Il have been in a rundown condition !;
tually SO nervous that any sudden
noise or excitement would produce a
palpitation of my heart that fright
ened me. 1 absolutely could not climb
stairs, for to attempt such would thor
oughly exhaust me.
Il had nervous headaches and when
they came on 1t seemed that an iron
band was drawn tight around my head.
l now shudder when l think of those
headaches. My -tomach was weak
and l could not digest the lightest
liquid food. Any food of a solid ma
ture caused nausea and the sickening
sensation remained for hours.
MY misery was almost unbearable.
My sleep was never sound and 1 was
worn out all the time. My condition
was indeed very deplorable one. l

but nothing helped me one particle.
l was on the verge Of giving up in
despair when a neighbor pleaded with
me to try Tanlac. l obtained bottle
of the medicine and began Its use.
II began improving at once and soon
felt my nervousness and dizziness dis
appearing. Then my headaches left
me and realized my strength had re-
turned. My appetite and digestion i'm
proved and 1 am now so much better
in every way. This Tanlac Is won
derful medicine and the only one that
ever really helped me. 1 hope every
poor woman who is suffering as did

The same ribbon makes the hanging
loops and ends at the back.
The sachet bags illustrated are
made of satin ribbons in light colors.
They are merely oblongs of ribbon,
sewed together at the edges, stuffed
with scented cotton and tied in a bun
die with baby ribbon. Sometimes a
tiny safety pin is fastened to the end
of each sachet so that it can be quick
ly pinned In the dress or camisole.
Hemstltching and small tucks make
the decoration for the camisole of
wide ribbon, with shoulder straps of
narrow ribbon and little clusters of
chiffon roses adorn it. For the bags
both plain and brocaded ribbons are
used with celluloid mountings and rib
bon handles. In the little coat or dress
hanger, very narrow lace is used for
embelllshing the satin ribbon that is
shirred to cover 1t. Plain satin ribbon
is shirred to cover the pin-cushion
that finishes the group, with narrow
ribbon making the frill and bows, the
flowers and cords that finish it.

IBBONS continue to wander into
various by-paths-most Of them
niliar, but always alluring. Having

prise and they knew of none greater
and more surprising than reaching the
house before you expected to. So they
sent for the airship which was in its
garage up in the clouds and while you
slept you were brought over here. The
airship has gone now, but most of your
friends are In, the house"
II just can hardly believe it." said
the girl.
"And it's like something happening
which is so wonderful that right away
it can't be enjoyed. I'm almost out of
breath with surprise and JOY"
In moment though they got up and
jumped up and down with glee.
Were at the House of Secrets !;
we're at the House of Secrets !" they
shouted.
First they hurried over to the door
which the old witch had shown them
in the earliest part of their journey.
Over the door were the words, in such
great huge letters that they had to
laugh at them.
"The reason for bumps you'll surely
see, when you open the door after
turning the key"
They turned the enormous key which
was in the door and they walked in
side.
There were many, many people
there. Some of them looked poor,
some of them looked rich, some Of
them were busy doing one thing and
others busy doing another thing. And
everyone looked in the best of spirits.
They stopped what they were doing
and looked at the boy and the girl.
Then, from another room, their good
friend, Master Thoughtfulness, Joined
them. "rm going to show you around"
he said. "In this room you see are
people of all kinds. all doing different
sorts of things, but all very happy and
working well together.
"Why? Because they've learned by
heart the great secret which owns this
room-and that Is that everyone in
the world has something to do, no mat
ter how simple it may be. Do you see
how the rich are asking questions of
the poor?
'The rich don't think they're the
ones who have the rights alone. And
do you see the poor-how they smile
at the rich? They haven't always had
the good luck to have all that the rich
have. but they are working together
now.
1.-THE poor don't want to make the
cruel mistakes the rich have made and
turn the tables and be bossy. For
look you'll! In the center are many
other people! And they're talking too,
and they have shown that If either the
rich manage everything and grind
down the others or the poor manage
everything and strike. the people in
the center are going to get horribly
trampled upon and hurt.

WAR. Menace Potatoes.

Potato wart, against which the Min
nesota experiment station is sending
out warnings to farmers, is a menace
to the potato industry in Minnesota.
In some places in England, Ireland,
and other parts Of Europe the losses
caused by 1t are SO heavy as to make
potato growing improbable.
The. parasite which causes the wart
is spread most frequently by using dis
eased potatoes for seed. Soil once In
tested continues to be contaminated
for many years.
Plant pathologists, therefore, are
asking farmers to keep watch for
warty potatoes and to report an sqp-
picious cases either to the county
agent Or to the experiment station.

When dry, press and the cloth is fresh
again.
Oranges, cut In small bits with the
rind left on, are especially nice to
give to fever patient who needs
something often to cool the mouth.
If cracked ice is to be used in the
sickroom, 1t will keep longer If piece
of cheesecloth is tied over the bowl
and the ice kept in it. Cover the
bowl with another and place paper
bag over both. This will save many
steps to renew the ice.
For the bed-ridden who get so tired
living in one position, the following
help will be greatly appreciated: Tie
stout new cotton cloth strips on each
side of the headboard or bed-frame,
having a large knot in the end OF
each strip to hold. By grasping these
supports one may raise up or change
position easily. The knots may be
slipped under the pillow when not in
use.
For tired feet, mixture of baking
soda and talcum, sprinkled into the
shoes, will give great relief. For
corns and callouses, keep them COW
cred with adhesive tape, renewing as
often as the bathing Of the feet re-
moves the plasters. This keeps the
hard places soft.
In applying adhesive plaster to
wound, use short strips with tapes
fastened to the strips, which may be
united, the dressing changed and re-
tied without disturbing the adhesive
at all.
A simple method to clean silver
blackened from use is to place the
silver in AN aluminium dish with
teaspoonful each of baking soda and
salt. Do not boil too long, for silver
which is thinly coated may be entirely
removed. One may use a piece OF
aluminium In a granite dish as the So
lution will roughen a good dish.
A piece Of camphor. kept In the
silver drawer, will help to keep the
silver from furnishing.
Cement floors are washed by flush
ing with hose and scrubbing with
broom or brush. If they slant toward

HAMBURG. Feb. 9.--Dr. Carl Meichior
who was the German financial expert
at Versailles and Brussels ard who
is partner in the Warburs Bank,
told the Associated Press to-day that
if the spirit of the Paris reparations
decision reigns in the coming London
conference "havoc must follow which
the entire world will feel"
DR.. Melchior said that Germany must
give to her limit, but that the Allies
must not demand beyond that limit.
Even the danger Of havoc must not force
the German Government to sign pledge
of several dollars for each dollar which
with the utmost difficulty 1t perhaps
might be able to pay.
"The rebirth of normal conditions in
Europe and a corresponding beginning
of an economic housecleaning for the
world will depend upon fair and final
solution Of the reparations problem"
continued DR.. Melchior THE decisions
of Paris show no progress, but rather
retrogression."
DR.. Melchior declared that he saw a
black future for German American trade
should the Paris demands be enforced.
He pointed out that the amount already
paid by Germany and credited to rep
arations amounted to 10000, 100000 gold
marks.
Here in Germany" said DR.. Melchior,
every intelligent person fully realizes
that Germany must make reparations to
the utmost limit OF ner ability"
