"Why-what for, Pegsins?"
I'D rather not tell you, Jack, It's
not my secret"
Now there was no reason on
earth why I should not explain
everything to Jack. But ! did not.
l excused myself to myself by
saying that the rehearsal had been
too much for me and washing
dishes at midnight was irritating.
But in my heart I knew that the
reason I refused to say where l

ing-was Mrs. Herrods letter
In that little matte rmy husband
was living right up to our pre- nu-
tial agreement. He assumed / had
no right to know hat another wo-
man was writing to him regularly
Well, then, if I had business at an
early train I could attend to it
without his assistance.
But next morning when I crawled
out of bed and left poor dear Jack
to make his own coffee something
seemed to be very much wrong
with life.
ITS raining, Peggins! Better let
me do your errand for you" Jack
suggested. COR let me go along

Impossible Jack! It's not my

How to Keep Well
BY DR.. r. n. BISHOP
TUBERCULOSIS.

Too many people in the first stag
cs of tuberculosis think they are
exceptions and can beat the dis
ease their own way. If they broke
a leg or we're attacked by appen-
dicitis or contagious disease,
they would stop working until they
were completely recovered Yet in
the case of one of the worlds worst
diseases, they think it unnecessary
to quit until the disease has such
a foothold it is practically impossi-
BILE to effect a cure.
tuberculosis is caused by bacil
lus or germ SO small it can be seen
only under the microscope. Sun
shine will cause these germs TO cuIt
up and die, which explains why the

53zT The encouraging thing IS that the
tuberculosis death rate is decreas-
ing yearly more disease is being
prevented and more lives are being
saved. Most cases can be cured II

fore too much of the lung tissue has
been destroyed. Even in advanced
cases the disease often may be
stopped and many a man with only

Puff shells are quite as nice to

chicken and mushrooms, creamed

theatre, but me made his excuses
