But waverly himself wasn't
there" McCarty replied. ASK Mrs.
Waverly If you like; I did. over the
telephone this afternoon. and she said
business had kept her husband in
town. Waverly must have thought
for some reason that Creveling had
given him the slip, early on Thursday
evening, for he tore into the Cosmo-
politan Club like mad bull looking
not to be late, that he was expecting

what he meant to do. but he sent for
his car then and drove all around
town. waiting for the time to come.

Waverly bent his mud-guard and
twisted his ankle scraping against 1t
when he finally drew up at the place:
There's no use going into what
happened between them then, for
we'll never know that. either, but
they made a farce of eating supper
together and then the quarrel was
renewed in the library. For some
front of Creveling-the nine Of dia-
monds that I handed him back an
hour ago-and then the end came.
"Waverly must have left the house
as if the fiends were after him then
and driven around like mad until
who can testify to his distraught con-
dition when he brought his car back
to the garage, and that there was
blood on him. When I questioned
TvA I@t al
where he tried at first to say he'd
been all night, though I'd seen him
go in myself not half an hour before
he gave me another alibi and the
name of a man who could prove 1t,
and it was only late last night 1
man had lied, and he admitted 1t. l
needn't go any further. gentlemen: !:
that's our case. and we can prove every
step Of the way"
there was silence. and then O'Rourke
passed a shaking hand across his

incredible! 1 can't believe 1T of Wav-

II don't know what to say" the
other responded. II never thought
it would come to that between them.
but we all know Waverly's violent
uncomfortable temper: how he beat
that hunting mare of his to death
with an iron trace chain! 1t would
be like him. granted sufficient real or
fancied justification. to go about re-
venge in bull-headed rage without
counting the cost. God. it's horrible.
But you said a decision rested with
us? What decision?"
Just this. sir. I told Mr.. O'Rourke
over the phone today that wed got
wind of certain things down at head
quarters: we had. but not what he
thought. told him tonight that 1
wanted to scare Mr.. Waverly into
telling what he knew of the motive
for the murder of Mr.. Creveling." Nc
Carly smiled to himself as he added: !:
II didn't tell, though. that 1 intended
to let Waverly see that we knew the
truth and make him confess! l said

claimed:

squared his broad shoulders. We

need to say what that quarrel was
about in a general way. though no
names were mentioned? Waverly
threatened Creveling then and
they've not spoken to each other
since. If you'll look back. you'll
both recall what happened in this
very house a week ago tonight: how
Creveling threw down his cards and
left the game when Wayerly came.
Can either of you remember one oc-
casion when they have talked friendly
together in the last fortnight?'
There was silence while Cutter and
O'Rourke looked at each other, and
then McCarty resumed:
II can go back further than that If
it's necessary: I can show you the
root of that quarrel months ago. and

Apocryphal Nasal Catarrh.

slant reader of your articles. You
say catarrh is a myth. Well. / have
so-called nasal catarrh. and 1 should
be pleased to learn what it is and
how to rid myself of the malady."
F. D. P. writes: II seem to have
something's hope you will not tell
II there isn't. you'll know what I
mean-something like catarrh. You
don't call it that, but we do, and Of
course you understand what is meant.
have catarrh of the head. Can you
suggest formula for this?"
F. s. writes: would you be good
enough to explain exactly what nasal
catarrh is, and whether there is a
real cure for it. I saw an offer by
DR.. -. who promised to remove the
trouble in thirty days. Do you know
ianything Of his treatment and whether
he is reliable?"
The idea that there is some spe-
ciflc or characteristic disease state
designated by the name of catarrh
is a myth. But unfortunately it is
true that many different disease con-
ditions of the nose cavity OF lining
name of catarrh by the laity and by
healers preyfng on popular ignorance
| and by poorly trained practicing ply
sicians. 1 blush to admit that we
have in the profession a number Of
doctors. many Of them with large and
lucrative practices, who are incapable
of examining and diagnosing ordinary
cases of nasal disease and who feel
that such care is unnecessary.
Now, let US see what a layman
thinks "catarrh" is. I quote phrases
from many letters concerning this
apocryphal state: More or less con-
slant mucus discharge" Hawking
and dropping of mucus in my throat" :"
cant breathe freely through my
nose." "one side always running" etc.
These symptoms have been played
up by the "catarrh specialists so
! long that the credulous layman has
really accepted them as conclusive.
Therefore when a doctor who is not
seeking to exploit the catarrh myth
asserts that there is no such dis
ease, state or condition as "catarrh"
| the good layman can't follow him.
Among the actual disease states
/! which may cause one or another of
the symptoms quoted I may mention

1t was the voice of Striped Chipmunk

rious other conditions which it may
be as well not to mention here.
The very diversity of conditions
which the unenlightened layman con-
fuses under the name Of ''catarrh"
ought to suggest to any sensible per-
son the worthlessness of any treat
ment purporting to cure "catarrh:
The victim of alleged "catarrh," II
he is wise. will take no stock in

physician who can and will deter

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Hot Water Drinking.
Is the drinking of from pint to
| a quart of hot water before break
! fast in the morning beneficial to
health? (Mrs. D. NJ
| Answer-Many elderly persons seem
to find it beneficial. 1 should suggest
cool water, rather than not water.
Electric. Battery.
Is the use of electric battery 20 to
| 30 minutes a day conducive to good
| health and better nerves? ID. c.
I Answer-No. The same time spent
| in taking a walk every day would be
better for health and nerves.
Cold Morning Shower.
Do you authorize taking a cold wa
ter bath every morning as a health
| habit? TX. NJ. ~
Answer-No. That is an unreason-
ably severe demand to make on
health. For few vigorous young
persons who can't or won't take
enough exercise daily. a cold morn
| ing shower is a sort of second choice
as self discipline, but a poor second.
Kindly give your advise on the use

tive of complexion.
