Lily Lou shut her eyes. She
was so tired.
When she opened them again
Madame Mailman was gone.
The sweet faced night sister
sat doing by the window, her
head sunk on her breast, her
rosary resting in her limp
hands.
Wants To Cry
Lily Lou looked furtively for
the baby. She hoped it wasn't
in the room. When she saw
it she wanted to cry, she
couldn't remember why. So
she closed her eyes again. 1t
was better to sleep. Sleep, and
forget.
They were always waking her.
Always wanting to move her
and straighten the sheets and
plump the fat feather pillows.
And they couldn't do a thing
without talking. Talk! Talk
talk! To her-though she
couldn't understand a word-to
each other-to the doctor
There were two day sisters
who came in and out, white
coiffed and aproned. One was
rosy and wore glasses. And one
was pale and did not wear
glasses. The rosy one brought
the baby to her. Lily Lou let it
lie there in the crook of her
arm, and kept her eyes shut.
This, it seemed, was not pleas
ing to the rosy sister. She made
clucking noises with her tongue,
and talked at great length in
German. Evidently all about
the baby'S charm.
Quiet, Alone
The pale sister brought trays
of food and made clucking noises
with her tongue also. Some
times she became quite cross
because Lily Lou wouldn't eat,
and the word professor" was
used to the accompaniment of a
wagering forefinger. Professor
seemed to be another name for
Herr Doctor. Rather than risk
the professors displeasure and
further argument she always
opened her mouth and swal-
lowed what was offered. Then
the sister would smile and no
body would bother her for a lit
tie while.
It was so good to be let
alone. They let her alone so
seldom. Always the fussing of
the sisters. Their gutteral
whispers.
Pain that gnawed so that she
tossed and twisted in a frenzy
Of feveriSh discomfort. Then
the sharp thrust of a needle in
her arm. Then sleep. Sleep
that never lasted long enough.
Sleep that began to elude her
long before she wanted to wake.
Sleep that cast out pain. Sleep
that was forgetfullneSs....
Into her forgetfulness the
doctor forced himself, at inter.
walls that had no time. Some
times he was a dark silhouette
against the sunshine of the
window, and she knew it was
day. Sometimes he was a
shadow in the light of the
lamp, and she knew that it
was night.

Questions From Readers
G. B.: "Are there any canned
fruits suitable for diabeticS?"
Answer: Yes. Several firms
market canned fruits preserved
with saccharin instead of sugar.
No sugar is added to the fruits.
Saccharin is sweet without hay
ing any caloric value or sugar
content. Peaches, pears, april
cots, tomatoes, asparagus, spin
ach and tomato juice are
canned in this way. In general,
the fruits contain about 71a
per cent Of carbohydrate, pre-
served by this method. I have
tasted them myself and know
they are palatable and can
hardly be distinguished from
fruits preserved in the ordinary
way.

Gift for a Teacher

Dear MRS. BeecKman:
am a member of a girls
social club in school, and I
have been asked by the presi-
dent to write to yCd for advice.
The sponsor of our club, mid
dle-aged teacher, is resigning,
and will not be our sponsor
any longer. We would like to
give her a gift. Would you
please suggest something ap-
propriate and ineXpensive.-J.
Would you like to give her
a lovely leather portfolio, Flor
entine leather for example, with
her name printed on it, or in
side, in gold lettering? You
can get these lovely possessions
in a wide range OF prices.
A evening bag is alway an
excellent gift too for this kind
of giving. If it is a white,
beaded one it will probably al
ways be in fashion. Or a purse
for day year is always an &C
ceptable gift. A fountain pen,
with the pencil matching, Is
also app ropriate. AM she would
probably love a necklace. we
all do. Or one or two or three
fine linen handkerchiefs, en-
broidered w. her monogram,
for day or evening wear, are a
welcome gift. Or a book Of a
favorite author of hers.

Midol takes pain off the calen-
dar. Monthly martyrdom is
foolish. For Midol is as harm

The first step in this direction
is to restore the hemoglobin content

Wedding Attendants

Wedding Attendants
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Will you kindly tell me the
largest number of couples that
it is correct to have to attend
on a bride and groom? 1t is to
be a fairly large wedding.
V.
There is no number that
really is the limit of attend
ants, though one rarely sees
more than ten bridesmaids.
Usually there are four or six
or eight bridesmaids. There
should be an even number for
the bridesmaids should walk to-
gether, two by two, in both the
professional and the recesSional.
Also, it is not at all neces-
sary to have the same number
of bridesmaids as usherS. In
the well-planned wedding now
adays, the ushers walk to-
gether, two by two, in the pro-
cessional and the occasional,
and the bridesmaids walk to-
gether. There is no pairing
off" of bridesmaids and ushers.
Therefore it is not necessary
to have the same number OF
each.

S.S.S. giUes NesO Strength
If you require a tonic you should
by all means try S.S.S.-this long
established medicine acts by stimu-
lating the secretions of the stomach
-. reviving the appetite aiding
digestion regenerating hemo-
globin restoring the red-blood-
cells-and builds greater resistance
against infection and disease.
S.S.S. helpfulness is illustrated by
this fact our records show that
nearly one-half of those who have
taken it, for the first time, do so
upon the recommendation of some
friend who has been benefited. Can
there be any stronger recommenda-
ton for its merit and usefulness
than this?
A distinctive thing about S.S.S. is
that it is made from fresh roots,
barks and herbs it is readily
absorbed by the system. Another
thing is that its efficiency has been
proved by scientific tests and by its
use for more than 100 years. 1t is
safe Tonic to take.
S. S. S. is an economical way to
health. Try it yourself. Get S.S.S.

ness at the mouth of Polly Creek
In the Snug Harbor district the past
i've years was completely destroyed
by lire late in June, says the Sell
iowa Herald. The origin of the fire
was attributed to sparks in the boil
er room. The seasons pack of 500
cases OF clans was saved, and the
warehouse which was located not
Il teet away from the burning
structure was saved also. Clam dig
gers from neighboring beaches as
sisted in the salvage work. The pro-
prietors of the plant, Ed Lindberg
and Mike Sakula, Anchorage men,
have been singularly beset with ad-
versities. Two years ago, they lost
"a scow of equipment including
motor truck while the tow was en-
route from Anchorage and later,
they lost gasboat during an inlet
storm. The cannery will be rebuilt.
