beautiful landscape than the Plains.

 The superintendent of schoo's brought the matter to the attention O. the school board a short time ago, and he was instructed to use his own judgment as to whether there would be any exercises in connection with the promotion.

The "Mothcr of Medicine"

Isis, the Queen and afterwards the Goddess, was called the Mother or Medicine" In ancient Egypt cen- turies before Christ, women were skilled in medicine. They knew the great value of medicinal plants.
 Hippocrates. the Father Of Medl- cine" many centuries later, knew less or the merit of vegetable drugs than did the women of ancient times.
 Lydia E. Pinkham, nearly hlty years ago, gave to women her Veee- table Compound, now known every where as Lydia F. Pinliham's Vege- table Compound. This is womans medicine for woman's ailments, pre- pared from medicinal plants.

The Strange Request Madgc
 Made Of Lillian

That Dieky was eoncealing some thing important from me, something concerning affairs at home, was sure, not from his insstence that we start home al so early morning hour-for we both like as early a start as possible when we are taking a long motor trip-but from his gen- erai uneasy demcanor. He is most transparent person, Is my Peter Pan and l could see very plainly that he was worried
 There was no use taxing him with my belief, however. Except upon the occasions when his temper Of thought iessness gets the better of him, he Is chivalrous 10 fault It is his firm conviction that his womenkind should be shielded from unpleasantness, and he was patiently working overtime upon his present task But while Dicky Is chpalrousy protecting to me. he also, in the years since we were married, has confiaed his troubles and joys to me very freely and l knew that he was on nettles at having to keep whatever knowledge be pos sessed to himself
 Dicky hurried away from the bungalow as soon as he had issued his utimatum about starting the next morning at seven, and looked around me with dismayed eyes He had been packing his belongings in his own fashion, and the results were before me in suit case and a bag standing open in the middle Of the floor. They were open because no one on earth could have closed them without fore ing them into sections And articles of Dicky's wearing apparel and his souvenirs were strewn upon every article of furniture in the rooms, while I found one of his shoes and a perfectly good hat under the bed
 Lillian Is Relieved
 I knew what Dicky's leaving the bungalow meant-permission for me to repack his things. It is farce re- peated every time we make a journey He resents flercely at first any at tempt of mine to see to his belong ings. but after session with them he clears out andsleaves the field to me. Of course, that puts me in the position where if anything is lost or damaged he can blame my packing but that affords him such satisfas- tory outlet if things go wrong that am glad to exchange it for his absence from the scene.
 There were several things to be seen to, however, before I finished packing. and of those the most i'm portant was telling Lillian of the plan I hurried out, crossed to her bunga' low, and told her the news.
 knew how anxious she was to get away from the present tense emotional atmosphere with which Robert Sa- varin's jealousy was enveloping her
