HATRED, STRIFE
SURROUND THE
QUINTUPLETS

NORTH BAY, Ontario, Nov. rs
QNS0.-"Peace on earth. Good
will to men," The age-old Christ
mas carol hangs as a mockery to-
day above the yule tree in the
luxurious play room of the famed
Dionne quintuplets.
Snugly protected from the cold
blasts of this north country, the
worlds most famous children
healthy and happy are utterly
oblivious to the 18 months Of tur-
MOL, jealously, hatred and schem-
ing that has blanketed this now
famous part of Canada.
Or. DafOe's Battle
It is a bitter, unhappy story.
But it is story that the millions
of admirers of the "quinS" should
know that they better will appreci-
ate the sacrifice, the loyalty to
duty and the love of DR.. Allan
Roy Dafoe and his faithful young
nurse, Yvonne Leroux, who have
battled side by side since the day
the babes were born.
Trouble for the spunky little
doctor began almost Immediately
after thei-. birth, May %, 1884. A
contract was signed by papa
Dionne to take his five gasping
bits of humanity to the Worlds
Fair in Chicago. But the doctor
stopped that. <
S1OOsa Fortune to Him
Promoters and chiSelers from
New York, Chicago, and other
cities descended upon the young
father with fat offers.
One hundred dollars looked like
q sizeable fortune to him. His
gross income the year previously
from his rock-infested farm was
slightly in excess Of $100.
That was the beginning and it
has continued to this date.
DR.. Dafoe arranged that
guardians be appointed with the
full consent of both parents.
Guardians who would nullify the
contracts and agreements entered
into by the backwoods farmer
father.
Money was needed for the large
expenses of nurses, supplies and
the thousand and one things nee
eSsary. A sympathetic world an
Swered the call for aid.
At three months the guardians
sold movie and picture rights"
=. for sorely-needed cash to care
for the kids" Other money came
in. advertisers. endorsements.
DafOe's SIS Bill Unpaid
And for those first three
months little DR. Dafoe worked
night and day without relief or
let up. He was unpaid. expected
none until he learned the fam
lily" had received several thou
sand. And then lie sent them
q bill for delivery of the five
babes. saving the mothers life
-. caring for the "quins" for the
three months.
That bill was for SIS.
And it has never been paid.
The guardians cajoled, pleaded
and begged Dionne to lease them
q strip of property that they
might build the Dafoe Hospital
for the exclusive use of the quin- |
tupletS. 1t was only after every
pressure had been exerted that |
Papa Dionne agreed to the lease.

SYNOPSIS

On Christmas Eve Bethna Ruggles
is hurrying along Sixth Avenue in
New York. Clutched in her hand is
a pocketbOOk containing her weeks
meager salary. With her family near
" destitute and facing the possible
ty of eviction for nonpayment of rent,
her earnings may help stave off the
impending catastrophe. 80. ;. 49,.
Someone trips Bethna and as she
falls to the street her purse is wrench
ed from her grasp. She screams and
tries to catch the thief, but immed-
lately he is lost in the thrOng of
shoppers. Passers-by pay little at
tention, but two gay young men-about-
town, seeing her tear-stained face
peering into fur shops window, are
moved to action.
One of them suggests that the 9th
er give her fur coat. "Just Christ
mas lark. you know!" A peddler over
hears the remark and tries to interest
them in a coat he is carrying. 1t
looks to the men like the genuine ar
ticle and they ask Bethna to try it
on. 1t fits admirably and the social
~ prominent Wesley Payne buys it
for her.

Only Is Minutes Now
Needed To StopE Cough

If you have tried everything" and
your cough or sore throat still hangs
on, do not think you can't get relief.
What you need is Thoxine-real pre-
scription medicine. 1t does two es-
sential things: First, it relieves throat
irritation and your cough stops. Sec
ond, it attacks the internal cause of
trouble, drives cold and fever out of
the system.
This two-way action makes Thox-
inc quicker and surer-and explains
its truly phenomenal success. All
you do is take a big swallow and in
Is minutes you feel relief or get your
money back. Safe, pleasant. No
harmful drugs. Only 35c.

the dandified Payne demanded of the
shivering Ruggles.
"Forty-five dollars. Might as well
be forty-five thousand" admitted the
man, his eyes lowered in humiliation.
"Well, here" said Payne, peeling
off the outer layers of fat roll of
bills. go find your landlord and pay
up. He'll let you move your things
back in then, and starting from scratch
again, you may be able to do some
thing for yourself and your family.
Oh, don't thank me. There wasn't
anything else / could do, was there?"
With no more ado than that, the
two men got back into the limousine
and disappeared.
"He's good man," murmured Rug
giles, gazing after the disappearing
car, uncomfortable tears of gratitude
and relief streaming down his face.
"He's the most wonderful man in
the world" breathed the girl, starry
eyed with something that had never
happened to her before. Absolutely
the most wonderful! Oh, I just
about him! If there was on
ly some way to repay him!"
"A hundred dollars!" marveled the
father, who had never in his life held
that much money in his hand.
"And my wonderful coat!" echoed
the girl.
~ can pay the landlord, all the back
rent, and next months rent, too, and
have a little nest egg," Ruggles was
murmuring. "God is good. God is
good"
"You mean Wesley Payne is good"
the girl corrected him.

WAKE UP YOUR
LIVER BILE
WITHOUT CALOMEL
And You'll Jump Out of Bed in
the Morning Karin to Go

II you feel sour and sunk and the world
looks punk, don't swallow lot OF salts, min
eral water, oil, laxative candy OF chewing gum
and expect them to make you suddenly sweet
and buoyant and full of sunshine.
For they can't do it. They only move the
bowels and a mere movement doesn't get at
the cause. The reason for your down-and-out
feeling Is your liver. 1t should pour out two
pounds of liquid bile into your bowels daily.
II this bile Is not flowing freely, your food
doesn't digest. It just decays in the bowels.
Gas bloats up your stomach. You have .
thick, bad taste and your breath is foul
skin often breaks out in blemishes. Your head
aches and you feel down and out. Your whole
system is poisoned. -
It takes those good, old CARRIERS
LITTLE LIVER PILLS to get these two
pounds Of bile flowing freely and make yot
feel cup and up" They contain wonderful,
harmless, gentle vegetable extracts, amazing
when it comes to making the bile flow freely.
But don t ask for liver pills. Ask for Carriers

AS the result of severe electric

veloped in the Kootenai forest, state
officials of the service in the Libby
headquarters office. Up to yesterday
afternoon 20 of the fires had been put
out and four were still unreported al
though crews were working on all of
them The Warland and Ants Flat dis
tricts were the hardest hit. A heavy
rainfall followed in the Warland area
1t is said there were 300 lightning
strikes in the Ants Flat section.
There were four fires in the Libby
section, on Elliott, Bobtail, Pipe and
II Mile creeks All of the fires except
one were held to less than a quarter
of an acre.
Following the storm and while the
fires were being checked up, the re-
Gently installed radio was used to fine
advantage in communicating with the
Kaniksu forest relative to conditions
on the Montana Idaho divide. Tele-

assistance say forest officials.
