Her eyes were becoming accustomed

She reached down and felt her foot.
1t was neatly bandaged with cloth

"Well, are we to stay here perma-

"Only for the night" he told her.

Suddenly she thought she understood.

she said, with little laugh. 1t was
the first time Grant had heard her
laugh, and he thought it very musical

"Pm quite sure you're not afraid"

FAVOR Schooling for
Americans in China

Interest in schooling for Americans
IN China has grown to such an extent
That Legonnaires In Kings county,
New York, recently went on record
favoring establishment Of such insti-
tutions and offered their services in
this direction.
Under County Commandef Edward
A. Simons, q resolution was passed
by the posts represented in the Kings
County Council of the American Lee
gion, urging that the national legisla-
tive committee of the organization be
instructed to seek passage of legisla-
ton establishing such institutions In
the Orient.

Life gives you just Is years
Of rea! health and happiness
Average Health Span extends only from age Is to
age 81, according to United States
Life Tables, 1920

Assuming that you are the average
person, you will enjoy health-phys-
ical freedom and full vigor-only
from age Is to 81. This astounding
fact is shown by the United States
Life Tables, 1920.
Your earning power win decrease
rapidly after 40. That period COM
monty called "the prime Of life" will
actually be an age of decay.
This sounds sensational. 1t is sem
sational. But it is true-and it is
something to which the wise man or
woman Will give serious thought.
OF course, it is not natural, or right.
It is the direct result Of an artificial
mode of ife-of careless eating, sleep
lessness, and stimulated nerves. Nature
provides danger signal-fatigue-to
warn when the body needs rest. The
person who regularly deadens the
fatigue signal by the use Of drug is
overriding the warning Of nature.
That is what coffee does. The
average cup Of coffee contains IL to
grains of the drug caffein-classifed
as poison. This is dose of caffein
Of the size often administered by ply
sicians in cases Of heart failure. It
is a powerful stimulant. It appears to
give new strength by deadening the
fatigue signal Actually, this new
strength is robbed from the body's
own reserve.
Coffee contains no nourishment. It's
only virtues, as a beverage, are its
warmth and flavor. A good, hot, drug
less drink is benefit with every meal
Millions enjoy such drink in
Postum. A drink made of whole
wheat and bran, skillfully roasted, with
q little sweetening-nothing more. A

Zen's horse trotted forward at her

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Should
Use Swamp-ROOt

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview of the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applications
are declined do not even suspect that
they have the disease. DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root is on sale at all drug stores
in bottles of two sizes, medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation, send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing, be sure

Merchants Interested
in Legion Indoor Fair

How far the generosity Of local
merchants went toward the American
Legion in Geneva, n. Y, may be seen
by the fact that donations for the
annual indoor fair were insured for
$4,000. Every one of these dona-
tions was given to the Legion for
distribution during the eight days Of
the event, and TO be on the safe side,
post officials insured them against loss
by fire for the big amount. The fair
was held In interest of building fund
Of the Legion, the original goal Of
which was $4,000, but which was
raised because of the excellent re-
ceipts of the event.

The manner in which the present
Investigations before Congress are
being conducted was assailed by Ed
mund +. Arras, international presi-
dent of the Kiwanis clubs, at the
weekly luncheon yesterday at tn
Washington Hotel. He pointed out
that it was very possible that many
whose characters were so bitterly
attacked would be proved innocent
when the hearings were ended.
Mr.. Arras declared that when a
Senate inquiry found it's base mostly
on rlsaors, it should be conducted in
private and then if the guilt % the
offender is established make the facts
public and see that punishment is
meted out.
The work and scope of the kiwanis

clubs are represented in every large

Chief Naturalization Examiner
Urges Full Association
Membership.

All members of the Anne ricaniZa-
ton school were urged to become
members OF the Americanization
School Association by Oran T. Moore,
chief naturalization examiner, in an
address before the association at
the Columbia Junior High School
last night. He told OF some of the
benefits of the association and said
that the school should have n 100
per cent membership. The meeting
was specially called for the pur-
pose of impressing upon the mem
bers Of the school the value of the
work that is being done by the as
Sociation.
Chief Justice Walter l. Mccoy call

meeting and commended the president
of the association, Souren HaneSSian,

committee on their untiring efforts
during the past year in promoting the
welfare of the school and it's prog
ress in AmericaniZation work.
Value of Cooperation.
Aram D. Manuelian of Armenia.
speaking as member of the school,
told of the value of cooperation to

He said that the students. perceivIng
the need of an association. have ac-
complished one of the main objects
of the school in its educational pro-
gram - 10 prepare the foreign stu
dents for citizenship. The outgrowth
of the association. he said, is the nat
ural outgrowth of the Americaniza-
tion School education.
The association OF the various ma
tionaiities with each other, he point
I'd out, was the best means OF cul-
tivating an understanding between
the various nationalities and to foster
a social solidarity among the stu
dents-at a time when there is much
class and race hatred.
The program included several BARI
tcne solos by Jack Heifetz, recita-
tion by John Addington Symonds and
various selections by the associa-
lions orchestra.
