CHAPTER IX
ESCane

tn HE time came when Miriam looked back
on her unfortunate experience with
Warren Holmes as bad dream. For
the first few weeks after her return to New
York the memory of it haunted her She
would live over and over again that terrible
night on the mountain, Warren Holmes pro-
posal of marriage, the queer little inn, her
tears. And over and over would she expert
ence that strange feeling of shame at the
memory Of her return to the Pine Notch that
morning. The way Anne Bridges had snubbed
her, that terrible blonde woman who had
spoken to her in the corridor, calling her
"dearie' and believing the worst, Warren
Holmes attempt to see her again, and Mrs
Maltby's cruel words of suspicion. That aft
ernoon she had slipped out of the hotel and
taken the o'clock express back to the city
She had managed to elude Warren Holmes
and the minute her train slid into the Grand
Central Station she had felt a tightening of
her spirits
How wonderful New York had looked to
her. She had not even noticed the oppress-
i've heat in her relief at returning to it.
Judged by New York standards her worry
had been rather absurd. Of course. the PEG
pie at the Pine Notch Hotel had magnifed
the whole thing. the rocking-chair brigade
was always avid for scandal, but here in New
York everything was different.
Miriam never forgot the first glimpse of
her apartment on that hot summer evening
smell always associated with unaired rooms.
it was home and it spelled safety, protection.
Miriam S apartment was on East Ninth street
just few doors from Fifth avenue. 1t had a
good-sized living room and mailer bed
room, also a kitchenette and bath. 1t was
the typical New York apartment at a typica!
New York rent. but Miriam had made it
charming with English chintz and simple but
Well-chOsen furniture.
The windows opened decentralization. and
had diamond-shaped panes. A cushioned
windoW-seat ran the length of the windows
and the room was furnished with a couch
drawn up to the fireplace a monograph on
wheels, several comfortable chairs and some
inexpensive but gayly colored wool rugs A
mahogany lCwboy held linen, and a gate
legged table on which were strewn books
and magazines completed the picture.
Miriam was proud Of her place and its fur
nishings. Her life in New York with its con-
slant excitement made her girlhood days in
Burnside seem like a dream. She had never
been a part of the life there. and although
she had been in New York so short time
and had made very few friends, she wes
happy.
That night she had spent alone in her

HEALTH BY INDIRECTION
By H. Addington Bruce
TN HERE is a valuable hint for the ne
OILS in general in the advice VIII

tn HERE is valuable hint for the nerY-
Gus in general in the advice which
psychoogically trained physicians now
adays give to patients who come to them
complaining of inability to sleep:
Don't try too hard to fall asleep That
will tend to keep you awake, not only by
keeping you in state of tension, but by
keeping your mind fixed on your wakeful-
ness.
For precisely similar reasons all whose
nervousness is due to preoccupation with
anxious, worrying thoughts, should avoid de-
liberate effort to Danish from their minds
the ideas that torment them.
Too often, having been warned by med
zeal man that if they wish to be we'll they
must suppress the particular worry that be-
sets them, they seek to do so by resolutey
reiterating to themselves, Il will not worry
about the thing that disquiets me-"
What is the actual effect of this? 1t Is
to make it harder for them to Danish the
disquieting idea.
For, manifestly, with each reiteration Of
Il will not worry about this that the
object of the worry is presented wildly to
the mind. By the law of association Of
ideas, it brings up forthwith the painful
emotional images that have become linked
with it. Then the worrier is likely to start
worrying more intensely than ever.
The proper mode of attack is not the
frontal one of an emphatic, 81 will not
worry" but the indirect one or developing
interests that will effect a gradual substitu-
ton of new ideas and associations in the
place of the worrying ones.
That is why Work Cures" play Cures >"
and Hobby Cures" are peculiarly beneficial
to the nervous. Each in its own way, as in
terest in it augments, tends both to relax
the tension of incessant sef-attention and to
make dominant in the mind ideas having
pleasant assoca tons.
Thus the required Punishment of the I'M
pleasant is almost effortlessly effected-cer-
tainly is effected as it cannot be through
vigorous insistence ones ability to con-
quer by sheer exercise of will power.
Don't fight, let 60" is another way of
stating the same procedure. Remember al
ways that it is at bottom a question Of GUST
ing one set of ideas by another. And the
ousting can never be effected by any means
that, however unwittingly, keeps the unde-
sired ideas in the forefront of attention.
/ As the psychologist Hofding long ago
phrased it, in passage of peculiar signif-
canoe to the nervous, and one which, if
taken to heart by them, would in many cases
mean speedy and complete freedom from
nervousness:
1T is not possible to oppose al idea quite
directly. The art of forgetting can only
consist in the suppression of certain ideas
by means of others. One who wishes 10
forget must look for powerful and great Sc
ries of ideas in which his thought may be
fully occupied

apartment. 1t had been luxury to sit back
in chair and look about her. She remem-
bered thinking how dirty the place was, and
how she would get Minnie to do some clean
ing for her. The telephone had tinkIed and
she remembered thinking with quick relief
that no one in Pine Notch knew where she
was, How convenient that there happened
to be a switchboard downstairs. 1t was a
protection, for If her name were in the tele-
phone book and Warren Holmes happened to
come TO the city with the idea Of looking her
up, she would be forced TO go over the un-
pleasant incident again. As it was, she was
safe, and in time she would forget the whole
thing SO she had unused that night, and so
il had happened
Miriam had her work. she had the excite
ment Of life in New York, she had her few
friends, and not to any Of them did she con-
fds her experience of the summer Grad
ually the whole thing lost importance in her
eyes; she relegated it to the past; even the
memory OF it became dim and blurred, until

McAdoo' S Georgia Victory

TvHE verdict of the Presidential primary
on Wednesday is a magnificent and a
wel-deserved tribute to great Geor-
gan a great Democrat, and great Ameri-
can. By majority almost uneXamp!ed in
their political history the people of Will
liam G. McAdoo's native state have declared
their faith in his principles and in his pre-
eminent fitness for Democracy's leadership
in the national campaign. They have an
swered once for all, those who either from
misunderstanding from malice nave
sought to involve him in the Doheny scan
DIAL. Georgians are proverbially insistent
that their public servants, whatever else
they may lack shall be above suspicion in
matters of this nature; and their 1ndorse-
ment of Mr.. McAdoo, despite efforts to
nreiudice and misead item, is one of the
most significant, as we'll as most merited,
vindications ever delivered by justice
loving people Thus approved and supported,
he becomes more, than ever the foremost
candidate for his party's Presidential noml-
nation.
Senator Underwood though he received
but scattered minority of the primary vote,
is held in high regard by Georgia, whose
relationships with her good neighbor, Ala
bama. have ever been of the happiest. His
Services to party and to nation have been
richly distinguished and will continue so
to be. He was defeated simply by virtue
of the fact that the Democrats of this state
were in quest of truly national candidate
and were determined that their influence in
the natioanl convention should be made to |
count and not be dissipated in mere COM
pliments
Cast for McAdoo, the states vote will
count definitely, potently, perhaps dec1siyely,
and beyond a doubt, for progress and for
Even before the Georgia primary,
the abest observers of national politics pre-
dcted that he would enter the New York
convention leader and that his friends
would control the final choice of nominee
More than ever is this the case today,
thanks to Georgia. discerning and whole
hearted action. Her voters have made splen-
did history for their commonwealth, which
doubtless will develop into splendid history
for their nation.
1t has been The Journals privilege to do
what it could toward bringing this happy
result to pass But our satisfaction lies
chiefly in the common sense and the sense
of common justice which the people them
selves have manifested and in the prophetic
achievement for forward-going Democracy
To all who have labored so deVotedly and
so cffectually for this end, we offer hearth
est congratulations, particularly to MI

McAdoo campaign; Mr.. Miller S. Bell, head

TURN HAIR DARK
WITH SAGE TEA
~ Mixed with Sulphur 1t Darkens
So Naturally Nobody
Can Tell

The oid.time mixture of Sage Tea
and Sulphur for darkening gray,
SIRE streaked and faded hair is grandmoth-
er's recipe, and folks are again using it
to keen their hair good, even color,
which is quite sensible, as we are liv-
ing in an age when youthful appear
ance is of the greatest advantage.
Nowadays, though, we don't have the
troublesome task of gathering the sage
and the mussy mixing at home. All
drug stores sell the ready-to-use prod
net improved by the addition of other
INGREDIENTS, called "Wyeth's Sage and
SuIphur Compound" 1t is very popu-
lar because nobody can discover it has
been applied. Simply moisten your
comb or a soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, but what delights the
ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
COMPOUND, is that, besides beautifully
darkening the hair after a few appllca-
tions It also produces that soft lustre
and appearance of abundance which IS
so attractive.

since owning what use to be the Viii

Messrs. Barnes and Petty Are Now
Shipping Hiley Bellies.

Several shipments OF peaches went
forward by express and one car lot by
freight from the orchard OF Barnes
and Petty, about four miles from
Brentwood, the past week. These were
the first shipments from Brentwood
and probably the first from the coun-
tv. The peaches, which were of the
Hiley Belle variety, were OF good
quality and fine color. The express
shipments went to Chattanooga and
New Orleans, and the freight ship
ment to New York.
Messrs. Barnes and Petty have
about 5000 trees OF Hi1ey Bellies,
which bore enough for shipment
the first time this year, and about
5000 Elbertas, which will produce
peaches for market next season.
