Hardyman understood the delicacy
of feeling which dictated those words
and, without well knowing why. re-
sented it. He was on the point of
speaking, under the influence of this
unworthy feeling, when Isabeps
voice reached his ears, calling to
him from the cottage.
Moody's face contracted with sud-
den expression of pain as he, too,
recognized the voice. Don't let me
detain you, sir" he said, sadly. Good
morning!"
Hardyman left him without cere-

Isabel shook her head. Tommy was

joined, irritably Look at these let

pocket as he spoke. Here are no
less than seven men, all calling them

They have heard he isn't coming,

INFECTIONS

While infection is really technical
term it's use has become common
enough to become pretty generally
understood. BY infection is meant
that a wound, or a break in the skin,
has been invaded by bacteria, or
germs. Generally the wound or break
Is plainly evident though sometimes
1t may be too small to be seen, or, in
exceptional cases, areas OF the SKIN
do become. infected without pre-
vious wound or break.
Infection differs from merely irri-
tating wound with cold, or heat, or
caustic, or dirt and the like, in that
it is able to increase and multiply
after it has gained entrance to the
tissues. A small amount of infec-
ton if left alone may cause almost
any amount of sickness or even
death. With irritating or caustic
materials the amount taken in gov
erns the amount Of sickness. The
amount of dirt, or caustic, or snake
bite poison, does not change Its
amount after it is taken into the It's
sues. Its first effect is its worst, and
il the system is able to Withstand
this improvement Immediately be-
gins. Infections, in amount so small
az to pass unnoticed when first taken
up, may multiply until it causes I'M
told injury.
Vary In Severity
Infections vary much in severity
the more severe, such as erysipelas,
lockjaw and the like, for some be-
nevolent reason are relatively rare.
Possibly it is some humane instinct
In the scheme of things. The milder
infections such as boils, ringworms,
itch, ETC., seem to be always with us.
Possibly we need little affections to
keep us humble.
BY far the most common of all in
fections are the pus- forming germs.
They cause boils and fostering
wounds. They are live bacteria
which gain entrance to the body It's
sues and then begin to grow Pus, or
matter, coming IRON DOll VI WouuI,
is not impurities being taken out Of
the blood, as so often told. 1t Is
poisonous stuff that is being manufac-
tured by the infection at the site of
the injury and the quicker it is
stopped the better. These infections
are always germs that get into the
body from somewhere else They al
ways come from other germs the
same as potato always comes from
another potato.
Watch Common Carriers
Itch Is common parasite which
gains entrance to the body, always
coming from itch parasites some
where else Ringworms Of the face,
and of the scalp, are the same way.
These common infections are always
implanted on the body, the first time,
from some other person who has the
Infection. The common carriers of
such parasites are combs, hair brush
es, towels, shaving implements, hat
bands and the like, for ringworms.

Chicago, March Five midwes-

The penalty imposed is either a
murder or a manslaughter sentence
And in some cases applies equally
even to liquor given away.
The drive against poisonous liquor
is the common denomination OF all

tant active sessions.
In Kansas a bill is pending to

In Oklahoma similar measure, with
the murder penalty, for either sell
ing or giving away, already is law
In Iowa the senate has passed a bill

used. Under the influence of this
drug, the patient kept drinking wat
