1t was merely an ordinary meeting
of the bridge club, but someway i.
stood out as quite the most memo
rable party of the year. When the
members strolled homeward in their
pretty afternoon frocks and wide
hats. they felt as if they had been

When two tables had been played
and the regular time for refresh

If You Would Have Your Husband Healthy Wealthy
And In Love With You, Give Him Good Food
Love
Lives
In The
Liver

When the oriental addresses his
adored one, not as the darling of my
heart" but as the joy of my liver"
it appears that he speaks by the card.
For a learned scientist has just
established the fact that the seat Of
the affections is not the heart but
the liver, and that love potions really
are efficacious because they contain
drugs that stimulate that organ.
OF course, this is hardly news, for
all Of us know from personal eXpe-
rionce that. whether we see the world
through a rosy haze and overflow
with the milk Of human kindness, or
whether we opine that everything is
going to the demnation bow vows.
anu long to murder everyone of our
fellow creatures. is not matter of
reason, or conscience, but simply
matter of liver.
A lean, and sallow, and bilious OPP
timist is as rare as white black
bird. Pessimsm is the country of
the bilious, just as optimism and good
cheer and amiabilty are the char
acteristics of those whose livers are
hitting on every cylinder.
The knowledge that it Is the liver
and not the heart with which they
must deal should be tidings of great
joy to women, and especially to mar
ried women, for 1t furnishes
them with a good working
plan for solving their two great prob
lens: (a) how to manage a husband:
(b) how to retain a husbands af-
fections. and keep him q perpetual
lover.
1t has always been hard to do any
thing with the heart. which is

little amenablt to outside influences.
But the liver is a softer organ, and
one more easily touched, more open
to argument, S it were.
Therefore, the wife who appeals to
her husbands liver has far better
chance of success in her undertaking
than she who attempts to speed up
% slow down his heart action. Above
all, the knowledge that the springs
Of emotion are in the liver gives to
her the secret conjure that enables
her to make of him the sort OF hus-
band she wishes.
Now there are two types Of hus-
bands. One is grouchy and glun. and

gallons Of gasoline In storage on June
].
Many refiners have sold gasoline to
1obbers at less han production cost
for weeks, Mr.. James said. and II was
unlikely that further price declines
should result of the present situation.
He urged distributors to fill their
empty storage tanks at once so that
production might be continued.
The present over supply of gasoline
IS largely accounted for by the unsea-
ronable spring weather. It war snid.
Cool days. spring SHOWS. and long wet
spells throughout the country in April
and May reduced automobile mileage
to such an extent that the normal in
crease in consumption anticipated in
production schedules each year was
' not forthcoming. Tho effect OF the
~intry April on gasoline demand is
illustrated by the following compari-
son of production and consumption
during the month.
Daily average gasoline production

In spite of these figures. the produc-
sion of II continues to increase
from week to week according to fig
ures published by the federal depart
ment of Interior and the quesion fore
most in the industry is said to center
about decreased production. The daily
average crude oil productions for the
country for the week ended June 2,
Is given as 2.034, $50 barrels an in
crease of 30. 900 barrels daily over the
