Nancy Visits Sue and Jack

Nancy Visits Sue and Jack Someone had opened the door without waiting for n reply to the mellow chiming of the bell. Now Nancy stood in the doorway. Come In and eat with us," Sue said. "I cant believe that you are able to be out, moving around | already. You weren't supposed to be well for months yet" | Doctors are foolish people They like to pay visits so they give patients long sentences sometimes. | I'm not so steady on my feet. but usually get there. I'll take des- scrt and coffee. You look tired, Jack. Having troublcs?'
 "I feel grand" he answered. ''The worlds as slick as a frozen mill pond. q know the kind. If you don't watch your step you'll skid and the ice may be thin. Heard anything from your august parcnt?' Nancy's long white fingers were bare except for the mad flame Of n great emerald. and platinum bracelets with the same green stones were clasped about her wrists. She toyed with her coffee spoon.
 Pm opposing dad in another cose." Jack answered. "I Just found out this afternoon ne didn't look at Sue. She knew that he had not intended to tell her.
 "So I heard. Chance convcrsa- ton. I hope you win"

.'There, and now let me speak" she said in her husky deep voice. "You'ye had a horribly bad opin- ion of me, dear Martin.

 "Very we'll" said he. "It's to do with an uninfiammable film made of paper and quite cheap to pro- duce. Now that Is a matter oi great importance with an immense future. Everything that's been tried so far-gelatine film and viscose and so on--is all quite useless. All muc htoo expensive. But have got it., you see. So that's what 1t is, May" a
 You've got 1t? Marvellous! And now?"

 "A year." repeated May. and then she fell into silent reflection.

This Is a message to discouraged mothers. If you are getting along on cut salary but think the heavens have fallen because you cannot get a new dress and have had to sell the car, perhaps 1t will not reach you.
 am trying to talk to mothers who have had no money to live on for months and have had to man age, as does one family l know. on two cans of baked beans. five pounds of flour and two cans of condensed milk for q week given by welfare society fast running out of funds. That family has five children. The day they have bread they have nothing else. The day they have beans they have nothing | else. ,.-.
 It seems to me that someone must hold out some message of hope to these people. Because this family is only one out of thou sans. yea hundreds and hundreds of thousands.
 To such women as these I wish to say that believe this to be the darkest hour of all-just before the sunrise. The papers say this and that. prophets prophecy, and columnists tear congress to pieces. Economists talk about budgets and bills and tho gold standard. And people read 1t all and weep. It Is generalizing that puts no milk on the doorstep or food on the shelf.
 Myself I have a feeling sense and see change. As n doctor looks at sick man at deaths door say ing, "I don't know why but think he will get better. see him lick ing this disease in someway cam not quite make out"
 Fair Days Coming! That Is the way l feel about to- day. I cannot quite make 1t out. but think the worst is over and I have psychic sense, smile if you will. that smells out things n good way ahead.
 It has nothing to do with poli- tics, heaven knows that! Congress may now. of course. come along with relief bills that they should have passed last December. but there Is undoubtedly a quickenins of the dying spirit of business. !

Calvert and Rogers. Inc, are
looking forward to giving a better
and broader service to their Gus,

have opened another new and
modern fireproof warehouse. The
firm now maintains two modern
fireproof buildings, one at 1853
Florida Ave. N. E., and the other
one at 2145 Queens Chapel Rd,

This display room will be convent

C. E. Calvert, the president of

HOME LAUNDRY
SERVICE WINS

Although the New Thrifty Ser
vice of Home Laundry has been
available to Washington women
less than one month, it has met
with remarkable success. It's five
extra features find a ready vel
come at the hands of the home
manager who wishes to get the
most out of her dollar in high
quality laundry service and save
time in finishing the bundle
when it is returned. Many new
customers are being added each
day for this service, which IS a
decided innovation in handling
this class of work.
In the New Thrifty Service,
all articles requiring starch are
properly starched, making iron
ing easy and imparting neces-
Sary body to clothing to keep it
looking fresh. All flat work is
returned ready for use. Handker-
chiefs and napkins are returned
finished. Soft collars are COM
pletely finished and returned in
glassine envelopes which serve AS
handy receptacles for them and
keep them fresh and clean until
ready for use. Shirts, dresses
and other items may be finished
at a small additional cost.
The modern housewife appre-
ciates the saving of time in the
New Thrifty Service, and finds in
it a tightening of her household
tasks. for a conservative estimate
of the time saved through the five
extra features of the New Thrifty
Service for the average family's
laundry is more than two hours a
week. This saving of time also
means saving of money in ma
terials and equipment in the home
and the assurance of quality work
produced under the most sanitary
conditions and approved methods.
The large fleet of red and green
Home Laundry trucks with the
distinctive slogan, There's No
Place Like Home" serves Washing

staff of courteous service men re-
turning New Thrifty Service bun

DOCTOR FIXES
SPRING TOGS

For 27 springs the Clothes
Doctor has been following the
dictates of nature and freshen-
ing the clothes of young and old
alike.
To be prepared for this spring
season, the Clothes Doctor has
put his plant in perfect condition
mechanically, and has added new
and up-to-date equipment, the
better to serve his many clients.
The delicate fabrics of spring
and summer clothes require par
ticuIar care when they are cleaned
so that the material will not be
harmed nor the colors change. A
special chemist is employed by
the Clothes Doctor for this pur-
pose. He analyzes the spots on
the cloth, and uses the proper
cleaning fluid for them. The
Clothes Doctor said recently:
"Spring is almost at hand
and it is the season when even
nature refreShes and renOvateS.
The people of Washington, too,
will want to look over their
spring clothing, and if they
bring it to me 1 will prescribe
the necessary tOnics for its
betterment."
The Clothes Doctor maintains
eight convenient stores in and
about the city. Spring clothing
may be left. at any one of them.

CAPON MINERAL
WATERPRA|SED

Within 100 miles of the city of
Washington is located one of the
most famous and most beneficial
mineral water springs in the
world, which seems to have been
provided by nature for the spe-
cial use and benefit of the Capt.
tai City.
The Indians were aware of the
wonderfully curative properties of
the waters of this spring and
fought many a battle among
themselves for it's possession, fl
nally declaring by truce to be a
peace ground. They had name
for it. Ca-Ca-Pa-On, which meant
Healing Water" It's water is
known to a great many Wash
ington people as Capon Mineral
Water.
Use Increases
AS the benefits to be derived
from the use of this water in
such cases as indigestion, acidity,
stomach and intestinal disorders,
liver and kidney trouble, arthrl-
tbs. gout, rheumatism and the
b like, become better known, the
use and popularity of Capon
Mineral Water increases.
A small group of washington
men who were greatly benefited
by the use of this water decided
that every citizen of Washington
should have his chance at the
same benefits, and formed the
Capon Mineral Water Company
with offices at 800 Woodward
Building for the convenient dis
tribution of the water.
There are few boons offered to
humanity by nature or science
that surpass the pure, sparkling,
natural mineral waters which are
carefully prepared by the earth.
In older countries, the medicinal
virtues Of these waters have been
recognized by the medical pro-
fession for centuries, and the
cures and general benefits that
have, followed their use are well
known.
Acclaimed by Scientists
In this country for some time
the value of pure food properly
prepared has been fully recog-
nized, with the result of greatly
improved health over the entire
country. but it has been but re-
Gently that many persons have
come to realize that the water
they drink is quite as important
as the food they eat.
Capon Mineral Water has. been
acclaimed by chemists and ana
lysts to be the finest they have
examined, and it won the award
of merit over all other domestic
mineral water at the Mineola
Fair in 1881.

BURNER DRIVES
WORRY AWAY

The recent cold spell has
pointed out to many persons the
many advantages of oil-burning
house-heating equipment over coal
fires. With the oil burner there
is no stoking of the furnace in
the sudden cold snap, no worry
ing about the furnace fires going
out and house becoming chilled.
The quiet and efficient perform
ance of A B c oil burners is ther-
mostatically controlled. The tenn
perature rise and fall auto
matically determines the firing
qualities of the furnace, and the
house is kept at an even tempera-
ture at all times. There is no
banking of the furnace necessary,
no worry. Everything is taken
care of by the A B C oil burner
itself. once it is installed.
The Automatic Burner Corpora
ton has been manufacturing
satisfactory oil burners for II
years. They are represented in
Washington by the A B c Oil
Burner and Engineering Corpora
ton, with offices at 1922 H st.
N. w. These offices carry a COM
plete line of the A B C burners,
from the smallest to the largest,
and including an oilburning cir
culating heater designed for the
family with a smaller income, or
for garages. 1t is complete
oil-burning system in a single
unit.
The president of the Washing
ton firm, T. A. Walsh, is an expe-
rienced man in his line of busi-
ness, and so well thought of by
his associates in the oil-burner
field as to be chosen by them
president Of the Oil Burners
Dealers Association.
