Peaches smiled crooked

And they got you in here to

Shrill screams Of newSboys

Scorpio returned to the steak
house. to receive the widest
welcome any man had ever been
given in Centre.
= Jubilant gangsters gathered
about him as he alighted with
Newton from the big Car that
had once been Johnny Franks.
Peaches greeted him with
smiles. as he made triumphal
progress through the restaurant
to the office beyond.
The Gouger, delighted, in

And messengers slipped into
the rear door, bearing mysteri-

turned into joy-and later head

continued, remembering New

days, we'll be such a power
in this dump that we'll have it

A noise at the door drew his
eyes away from his auditors.
Peaches had opened it trifle,
and, through the narrow slit
was watching him.
Scorpio'S face glowed with
Smile-"as 1 was saying, pals

closed the door and vanished.
Yeah, as 1 was sayin'-" But

Newton. The men drank deep.

took up the cry.

He hesitated.
Newton flashed him a glance
that said plainly as words-"On

Scorpio rose, and looked about

pore filth and there is dandruff,
start gland stimulation tonight. All
you need is your fingers, and some
Danderine. Only massage will wake
up the glands, and only a penetrant
like Danderine will get through to
the subcutaneous glands. The very
first treatment will end all dandruff,
but keep on with Danderlne until
you have promoted vigorous color

the gray will go. You'll soon have
proof if you watch the color of your
hair close TO the rootsl
Remember, it's thorough massage
that does it, and Danderine that
gets through to those lazy glands.
Just rubbing anything on the head
won't do the work. Get your bottle
of Danderine today. It's a medicine
for sick scalps. The smallest bottle
is enough to show results which
will surprise you.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
am "a years of age, and
you'd think I was 10 the way
my parents act. I'm no
beauty, goodness knows, and
if I succeed in rounding up a
young man at the office and
getting him to call, my parents
entertain" him. Mother talks
about the price Of food at the
chain stores and what the

talks about when he was in
the Spanish-American war.
Sometimes Pa takes off his
boots. They devour my COM

to the movies. Ma pipes up,
No. daughter doesn't go out
alone with young men
they're not to be trusted"
Then she laughs tas if she'd
said something funny. I'm
about ready to fly the coop.
DESPERATE DAUGHTER.
Don't fly the coop till you've
had it out with Ma and Pa,
ask them how they managed
to get engaged when they were
young! Were the vigilance
committee always on hand?
1t you have any married sisters
or brothers, get them to argue
your case for you. It's absurd
that a girl of "a can't receive
her friends without humiliation
and constant watching.

Don't have dull, faded hair. or
ugly streakS of gray! There is a
remedy. No woman under so need
have a gray hair in her head! Her
scalp still has pigment cells. Those
cells are still full of color. But that
color can't reach the hair if your
glands are inactive.
Stimulate those lazy glands and
Udtch those faded locks reUipe!
Thousands of women have actu-
ally stimulated gray hair back to it's
natural color. The number would
be millions if more women only
knew the truth-if so many had not
been fooled in matters concerning
the hair. Gland stimulation is the
solution of just about every hair
and scalp trouble we havel Yes,
it makes hair grow-as you will soon

effects on account Of the dam
age done the heart. ~.
It is q definite infection
caused by a definite germ.
The lodgment Of this germ in
the body is certainly condi-
toned by climatic changes.
Cold and wet and exposure un-
queStionably conduce to attacks
of the disease. Hence it is
proper to call it a disease of
spring, although it also occurs
during the winter with equal
frequency.
The climatic influence is
nowhere better illustrated than
by the incidence of the disease
in different parts of the
country. I had a distinguished
Canadian physician visit my
hospital wards some years ago,
and after going around he said
in a bewildered way: Where
do you keep your rheumatism
patients?" The fact is we did
not have any; our location is
towards the south, with a ten
dency to warm dry weather.
The next spring I visited my
Canadian colleagues hospital
and found bed after bed, ward
after ward, Of patients with
acute rheumatic fever.
Doctors Do Not Know
The practical point is that,
as in the case Of pneumonia,
there is no way to prevent rheu-
matiSm by innoculation or vac
cination. We are even worse
off in this case than in pneu-
monia because we have no idea
what the germ which causes
rheumatism is. so there is no
possibility of even attempting a
vaccine. But we can, to a great
extent, control the factors of
wetting and chilling the body
in order to prevent rheumatism
And prevention is nowhe1e in
medicine more important tfsan
here. AS we said above, rheu-
matiSm is a serious disease be-
cause Of it's consequences on
the heart. There is never, or
seldom, any permanent damage
done the joints by rheumatism.
AS one physician has said:
rheumatism licks the joints
but bites the heart" It is one of
the two most frequent infec-
tious causes Of heart disease,

THE MARRY-GO
ROUND
BY Helen Rowland

As You May Have Suspected
When prudence comes in at
the door, love has already
flown out of the window; no
mans common sense ever comes
into action. until his hear is
having a reaction.
There are 40 ways of making
a man happy. The first con-
sists in knowing when to pet
and coddle him; the other 80
consist in knowing when to let
him alone.
It is the feat of a woman's
life, these days, to find just
that happy medium between
the sort of man who insists on
sailing all his money and senti-
ment down and the kind who
insists on burning them all up.
When a man starts Skidding
down hill. he always blames it
either, on some woman above
him who threw him down."
or on some woman below, who
tempted" him down.
The average man is capable
of only one love in lifetime;
but, alas, he has to do so much
experimenting in order to find
out WHICH one.
X X X
Man may have seven ages,
but when a woman has reached
an age that she likes, she is logi-
cal enough to stick to it.
X X
The average man is perfectly
willing to grant woman all the
great virtues, if she will only
let him alone and permit him to
enjoy the pleasant little vices
in peace.
To a woman, love the high
road to happiness; to man, it
is just one of the little wayside
tavernS along the road, where
he stops to refresh his soul Cor
his vanity on the journey to-
ward success.
X
This world is a good, kind cid
world. after all! It will forgive
you for a thousand things for
which you will never be able to
forgive yourself!

The trial of VronSki and
Scorpia was a short and de-
cisive one.
Newton cleverly guided the
cross-examination of the man.
Vronski did not take the stand.
In the jury room the jurors
talked about the gangsters.
One-carefully planted" in
the panelzsuggested dangerous
things to jurors who couldn't
see with half an eye that
Scorpio was an innocent and
much-wronged man.
And the rapers came out
with extras-"Vronski Guilty
Scorpio Exonerated."
Some Of them commented on
Newton's brilliant work in court.
And business men in the city
as we'll as in Centro shivered
in their boots.
They sensed what was COM
ing.
Markham, publisher of the
Star, sat in his private office,
deep in conference with an
earnest group, the day after
the trial. The gathering had
come secretly. Not even the
publishers secretary knew who
they we're.
They freed Scorpio," stated
the publisher, and from
number of sources we have
word that he was really guilty"
