But too often this inde- pendence is gained at the cost of health, and the wage-earning wom- an struggles through her duties, a prey to nervousness, backache and despondency.

spot which was the tip of Shadows tail.
 Jumper didn't have time to jump before Whitey was sweeping down at Shadow. So Jumper just kept still and watched with eyes almost pop ping from his head with fear and ex- citement. Shadow hadn't seen Whitey until just as Whitey was reaching for him with his great, cruel claws. Now if there is any one who can move more quickly than Shadow the Weasel. I don't know who it is Whitey's claws close on nothing but snow; Shadow had lodged. Then be- gan a game of hide and seek. Whitey sweeping and Shadow lodging, and all the time they were getting fur ther and further from where Jumper was.
 The instant 1t was safe to do so Jumper took to his long heels and the way he disappeared, lipperty- lipperty-lip was worth seeing. Whitey the Snowy Owl had saved him from Shadow the Weasel and didn't know it. An enemy had proved to be a friend.

Getting Rid of a Stubborn Cough Is
 Child's Play Now
Make the Medicine Yourself at Home-It's Cheap-But You
 Can't Beat It

If you want to take care of that bad. hang on cough and do it in few hours, better get one ounce of Parmint (double strength) and mix half pint at home.
 You can do this in two minutes by adding a little sugar, and enough water to fill half pint bottle
 You'll travel the world over before you get medicine that will act so surely and quickly on the mucous membrane of the nose and throat. It halts the inflamma- ton, the tickling sensation stops with the first spoonful, the heavy breathing goes and clean membrane. free from irritation and mucus follows
 For Catarrhal conditions such as mucus droppings. clogged nostrils and watery eyes, it won't disappoint--ask for Par mint ldouble strength). Speak plainly so that the druggist will know exactly what ycu want-Adv.
