up.
Papa, it's Nancy!"
He laid his paper on his knee.
The broad afternoon light fell full
on his worn face and his wife was
shocked.
They heard the door open, a
light step, and Nancy came into
the room. She wa very pale but
her blue eyes shone. She came
slowly toward them and stood still.

Nagging Pains

TEMPORARY pain relief remedies
may save you much suffering at
the moment, but putting a mask
over a warning signal does not
clear up the condition it was tell
ing you to avoid.
When periodic pains, due to a
weak, rundown condition, dis
tress you, treatment for the cause
of the trouble should be started
without delay.
Take Cardui to build up against
the nagging symptoms Of ordinary

NO ANSWER

Milwaukee-For nine years,
Mrs Ella Luhm's father spoke to
her daily, yet she never answered.
Recently, Mrs. Luhm spoke to
her father for the first time since
1925 and when she did, he couldn't
answer her.
Mrs. Luhm, 81, mysteriously
lost her sense of speech in 1925,
shortly after the birth of her only
child. From then on, she could
hear but not answer him.
Recently, as Mrs. Lahm stood at
the bier of her father, her speech
came back as suddenly and as mys-
teriously as it stopped nine years
ago.
Her first words were: "Oh
Papa!"

Atlanta-The Georgia supreme
court upheld the ancient law that
a mans property extends upward
indefinitely but ruled that unless
he takes physical possession of it
he can't kick because somebody else
used it occasionally. The ruling

Thrasher against operators of Can
dler field in which he claims among
other things that airplanes COM
mitted trespass by flying low over
his land.
