I could not help, little Marquise,
of drawing myself out of Jacks
arms.
"And what does Sally say to all
this? ?" asked.
ooh, she, of course, is perfectly
furious. At the present moment she
and Condor do not speak and they
watch each other like cats and mice.
I think that M. Anterior H. max

I could not speak, little Marquise.
It seemed such terrible thing to
compare Sally with Mabel Carter to
Sally's detriment.
We quarreled. People quarrel
over such little things. What diff

the other people in all the rest Of
the world did. But we quarreled
about it just the same.

Marquise, for Jack has gone back to
his office in Pittsburg, and things
are just about the way they were
before he came down. You may be
glad you did not marry your kingly
lover, my dear, for then you would
have learned quite thoroughly what
many women have learned to their
cost.
Marriage is new experience and
it may be great thrill, but it is
very different from love. Sadly,

NATURE AND DRUGS

(Arthur J. Cramp in the American
Mercury
In the barter sale or exchange
of practically every item of mer-
chandise save one, the purchaser
has chance of learning, event
ually, whether or not he has been
swindled. Even to the unexpert,
time through its agencies, wear
and tear, makes clear whether one
has made a good or bad bargain
in the purchase of an automobile,
a piano or a suit of clothes.
Conversely, the man who sells
cars, or musical instruments or
raiment has nature as an oppon-
ent. II the goods are not up to
specifications, 1t Is but a matter
Of time before the purchaser learns
the fact, and so acquires knowl-
edge which, IL he has brains, may
prevent him making the same err
ror the next time.
But there is one commodity in
the purchase Of which the public
never does and never can get an
even break; products or services
that are sold for the alleged allevi-
alton or cure OF human ills.
For here the seller has nature,
not as an opponent, but as an as
sistant. The healing power of ma
ture is such, fortunately for bio
logic perpetuity, that the general
tendency Of the disordered animal
economy is to get we'll.
Not always, it is true; there
come stages and conditions in
which the tendency of the ailing
body is to go on to dissolution.
But in probably 80 per cent Of all
human ailments the afflicted per
son gets well whether he does
something for his int.sposition or
does nothing for it. Herein lies
the opportunity of the Quack and
the nOstrum vender. NJ

Yes, Evolution Is a Theory, But

California the latest state to face the demand that
teaching of evolution be forbidden in the schools.
committee of college presidents has just reported to
the state board of education approving the existing text
books and pointing out that Evolution is presented

This is tactfu and of course quite correct But do not
be misled by the word theory"

Much is unknown about all of these but nobody doubts
that they represent reality The reality of evolution is
little doubtful.

millions of such facts It is clear to those acquainted
with the facts is this sentence to those familiar with
letters and words.
Yet even the first step beyond the FOSSIL to the

There have been basphemers who pretended to honor

"Then you may have your wish, y
said the Fairy Queen, and waving
her wand a remarkable thing took

The black horse was nowhere to

horse had been, right beside the
fence. q

something like whinny it rolled out
Of the gate onto the road. !.
Mr.. O'Ncil came out and seemed
surprised.

brought my new automobile didn't
tell me it was here" he said, getting
in and starting the engine.
If he had turned his head he would
have seen an enormous blue butter
fly with three people riding him
disappear over the tree tops.
The engine of the automobile made
a funny noise. 1t sounded like jig.

it was muttering to itself, "I'll have
to remember-I'll have to remember
no racing! l promised! Jiggle-

let out the clutch and away went

RECORDS SHOW HOW
LIFE PROGRESSES

These records show life progress
ing from simple to more complex
forms, in manifestly related family
groups and lines Of descent.
This is Evolution, on which scien-
lists are agreed. =
1t is true that there are things
about evolution on which they are
not agreed. =; Some explanations
which once seemed adequate are
evidently incomplete.
Isolated sentences by scientific
writer's to this effect have been torn
from their connection, to misuse as
'proof texts" to show that these
scientists deny evolution.
The writers themselves repudiate
any such Interpretation. They are
no more doubtful of evolution than
they are Of the equally "theoret-
lea" hypothesis that the earth moves
around the sun.

FABLES ON HEALTH - -
AIDS TO SOUND SLEEP

Sleeplessness may be caused from
excessive fatigue. Mrs. Jones of Any
town learned.
Seemingly contradiction is this.
A tired body and aching limbs often
are inducements to sleep.
But when these are accompanied
with nervousness, often q natural re-
suit of fatigue, sleep remains an
elusive thing.
A hot bath proves beneficial in
many cases. The warm water has

Giles. Also it is soothing to the
frayed nerves.
A good sedative that is soothing
and restful when one is fatigued is
made Of camphor, ammo ia, salt and
alcohol. lM
These ingredients should be poured
into a quart bottle, and the bottle
filled with boiling water.
