1.-THE woman refused to go away.
She wanted to get at the scandal,
from me if nobody else would talk
to her, and what with trying not to
give information, and what with
the annoyance of being questioned,
dare say I answered her a bit
sharply. She wanted to know
whether Agamemnon didn't attack
Clytemnestra and whether Clytem-
nestra didn't kill him in self-de-

as she came in; she would know If

killed her husband spontaneously"
"It does sound important, and
I'm sure it's softer than what you
actually said," said Menelaos.
"Menelaos, would you think better
of my behavior if I gossiped with
the neighbors about you and your
relatives? What 1 think of Clytem-
nestra and what 1 think of your
wife, is my private opinion-I be-
lieve you suggested as much; to talk
of such things to Charitas is strictly
none of my business.
"She wanted gossip; couldn't get
rid of her. Of course she'd be dis
satisfied with my most diplomatic
replies. I could have avoided her
displeasure only by giving her the
news.
II hope you told her husband that
his wife had little to do, inquiring
into your affairs through your SER

generous when she called her re-

"Never!" said Menelaos, never in

SOUTH is CALM
over POLITICS
Reed, McAdoo Visits Fail to
Arouse Frenzy of Interest.

By United Press
ATLANTA, Ga, July 20.-Recent
visits by Senator James A. Reed
and William G. McAdoo have failed
to arouse the Democratic South to
any display of concern over the 1928
presidential campaign.
Political leaders were agreed to-
day, following Senator Reeds
speech before the Georgia State
Legislature, that the Dixie voter
doesn't much care right now"
about politics.
Senator Reed was brought here by
U. s. Senator Tom" Hardwick for
the admitted purpose of feeling
out" the South's attitude toward
him as presidential possibility.
Reeds friends in Georgia intend
to place his name on the ballot
for the presidential nomination"
Hardwick declared.
Reeds speech before the Georgia
Legislature was a discreet con-
demnation Of the Republican adj
ministration with no mention of the
prohibition issue. He conferred
while here with several Democratic
leaders.

you've been my servant for many
years. You were the one person
in the household used to count
on for absolute propriety. But in
recent months your tongue has been
getting you in trouble.
"You yourself reported some high
words with Orestes, and I had to OBJ

comes in and it's his wife you've dis

an the days when my conduct
gave satisfaction, only the common
run of travellers stood outside your
door, and only normal events hap
pened inside of it.
Nov, as you'll admit, we have
strange visitors, and we receive
strange messages, and what goes on
inside this house is new, or ought to
be new, to my experience. I doubt II
my speech has become less guarded;
I should probably have made the
same comments forty years ago, If
the same events had happened
then"
IF I didn't esteem you so highly,
I'd send you off without moments
hesitation" said Menelaos. Instead,
I ask you, man to man, what you'd
do if you were in my place"
"Well, If I were in your place"
said Eteoneus, It'd begin by stating
the precise nature of the complaint
Charitas made to YOU"
Her husband, not Charitas," said
Menelaos.
ooh, understand" said the gate
keeper.
HE says you insulted his wife
when she came to call on Helen.
First, you wouldn't let her in. Then
you answered her questions rather
sarcastically. For a climax, you
told her she was the meanest wom-
an you had ever met, and you
thought you had met the extreme
examples.
That's nearer the truth than
you'd expect from an angry wom-
an" said Eteoneus, especially get
ting it from you, who had it from
her husband, who knew nothing
about it, except what she told him.
She asked if Helen. was at home.
said she wasn't.
THAT'S what she means by my
not letting her in. She's right,
practically. Helen told me to say
she was not at home, If any one
called, but she also told me to see
that Charitas didn't get across the
threshold, and Charitas suspects
something of the kind"
IT wonder what has happened be-
tween them" said Menelaos. "They
used to be friends, and Charitas Is
the kind of woman I like to have
Helen associated with-very steady,
sensible, thoroughly reliable"
IT doubt if Helen thinks her either
sensible or reliable" said the gate
keeper.
what does she think her?"

Menelaos, "My home appears to be

ambition, it seems, is to repel the

Every woman who is weak, run

terested in the experience Of Mrs.
s. Kuharic, 924 E. 30th Street, South

health, appetite and weight, is told
in her letter, as follows:
"For months I was badly run
down; thoroughly tired out and aw-
fury weak all the time. I had no
appetite and what food I could eat
didn't agree with me or do me any
good. I lost weight until I was
down to only 80 pounds. My vital
ity was so low that I had no pep
at all. My husband and friends be-
gan to be alarmed about me. They
had me try several medicines, but
7 felt no better. Then relative
suggested Viuna, and after just
few doses 7 began to feel a differ
ence. Before the first bottle was
gone I had good appetite for the
first time in months. Soon had
gained seven pounds. Now, my sys-
tenn Is regular, I feel fine and can
eat anything. Viuna helped me so
wonderfully that I gave it to my
daughter She had kidney and blad-
der trouble for some time. In only
two days I noticed she was much
better and now she is entirely re-
lieved of her ailments. She is gain
ing every day and looks fine. We
both owe all our good health to
Viuna."
viuna acts promptly on sluggish
bowels, lazy liver and weak kidneys. 1t

CITIZEN COMMENTS ON
SUPERINTENDENT'S WORK

After reading over the summary Of
the work of our county superintendent
or schools, Prof. Rufus A. Mock, Cor
the past six years, it is the desire of
the writer to join with the interested
patrons all over the county, in speak
ing word of honest appreciation Of
his accomplishments during this time.
We have heretofore noted many i'm
provements, one of the most important
of which is the consolidation move
ment. We note that twenty-one dis
tricts have been eliminated by consoli-
datlon. This means that the children
in these districts have been put in line
to receive better instruction in better
way, by better instructors in a mod arn,
up-to-date building offering many need
ed advantages over the common lis
trict school,
Also we note the school funds have
been raised--a long step in the right
direction for we all know it takes
money to finance good school.
We are also pleased to note the
movement for improving the health
conditions for our school children.
Nothing else can make our children
more useful industrious and happy
than plenty of school work, with some
wholesome play and good health. Many
of our old model school buildings, in
Guiding the Outbuildings and water SUP
ply were far from satisfactory so far
as health was concerned. Under The
wide-awake management we now lave
such conditions are gradually giving
way to better and more satisfactory
things.
We are proud to learn that all
schools in the county have at least
some sort of library. A good encyclo-
pedia or other reference book is g-cat
help to the school children. The writer
regrets that such books, references,
etc, were not accessible when we Were
going to school.
We feel that our superintendent and
all who have helped in accomplishing
the above and other improvements de-
serve word of well earned praise.
With the coming of better schools
and better school systems better ad-
vantages are offered to a greater num-
ber of people
1t is indeed sad sight to see the
industrious, studiOus child reach the
limit of learning offered by the little
ulSlIlCI ScIlOOl when MS pafe0tS Ife
not financially able to send them away
to school Thanks to the modern plans
and arrangements he is offered at home
the chance which once was not in his
reach.
Many of us will never he able to
give our children anything much in the
way of worldly property or money but
we can all help give our children an
education, which at last is the best
gift, for it can never be lost or taken
away.
In view of the above we are ready
to make known to all that we are proud
of our county, proud of our boys and
girls and as grateful fathers and moth
ers we cannot refrain from expressing
word of praise where praise is due"
to all who aid In the important work
of educating our boys and girls. They
will be the men and women of tomor-
row. We desire for their sake and
the sake of future generations to do
our work well. A Reyno Citizen.
