Arthur Vane had lived here for
twenty years. But being in no mood
to beg anyone's pardon, she per-
mitted her remark to stand.
She passed Louis on her way
home. He had known she would.
Well, she did! Triumphantly! In
a blaze of anger. Just let him dare
ask her for another date. And he
would. She understood Louis. His
anger would not endure for "a hours.
Bright head high in the air, she
honked the horn vigorously and
passed him by, confident that in
this age-old game two could play
and she, caring less, would be less
hurt.
Reaching home she sauntered IN

"Let's see!"
What was it? "Se1f Control, It's

And now her mother would insist
that she read it.
"That is very NICE" purred Eliza

She sighed and thought Of Arthur.
And Elizabeth, glancing over her
shoulder at the mice book" daugh-

too, and rocked on, well content.
Diana was to look back on those
hours with tears of longing. How
could she have been so bored? So
restless! So impatient with a
mother who meant so well!

After years Of torture from storn-
ach and kidney trouble, Mr.. John
F. Bott, 625 w. Chestnut ST., Free

ailments and recovered his health.
His letter explains it, as follows:
For Is years, I had stomach
trouble and kidney weakness. After
eating I would bloat with gas and
suffer intense pain, followed by sick
headache. My kidney trouble dis
turbed my sleep, and my back ached
so terribly could hardly drag my
self home from work, and I was
ready to drop the minute I got in
side the door. couldn't sleep, and
all day long I felt weak, dizzy and
lazy. Medicines seemed unable to
help me, and life was nothing but
misery to me until I started taking
Viuna. In short order, I was a
changed man. I can now eat big,
hearty meals with no gas, no pains,
and no headache. My kidneys seem
to be fine again, and I wake up
every morning feeling rested and
ready for work. The awful back
ache is gone, and I can now enjoy
walking to and from the shop I
feel stronger and better each day,
and it is wonderful to know that
my long illness is over at last"
viuna acts promptly on, sluggish
lowels, lazy liver and weak kidneys. 1t

stores appetite and digestion, and brings
new strength and energy to. the whole
body. Take bottle on trial. Then If
you're not glad you tried Viuna, your
money will be refunded. 81 at druggists.
