Paint Protects Cables.

The power cables that carry electric
current from a substation to the north
of San Francisco Bay, over the waters
of the Carquinez Strait. require paint
protection to preserve them from the
constant danger of corrosion. The
painter works from cage that is hung
on one of the cables. The task is not
an ordinary job, for the man must
have nerve and patience to work at
this height above the water from his
precarious perch. The work requires
125 gallons of paint for a two-coat

"BLACK-DRAUGHT IS
PURELY VEGETABLE"
What Does That Mean?

A great many things can cause
constipation and there are many
remedies to relieve it, but possibly
none more popular than the "vege-
table" laxatives.
Among these, Black-Draught is
outstanding. In its manufacture,
leaves of a certain plant are used
and the roots of certain others. These
are dried so they will keep without
preservatives -. no other chemical
change from the way they grew in
Mother Natures medicine garden
BY their being finely ground, the di-
gestive system extracts the active
medicine right where it is needed.
Constipation is relieved.
Black-Draught is so economical
that 25-cent package averages up

in small installments from his OF
her weekly wages.
This plan has proved beneficial
both to the workers and to the mill,
the management reports, since it has
reduced eye strain and the physical
ills which result from such strain a
mong the mill employees, while it has
greatly reduced the amount of i'm

resulting in a decided decrease in the
number of seconds produced"
This is just one example of the
fact that whenever an employer takes
any steps to improve either the
health, welfare or working conditions
of employees he usually likewise in
creases his own profits, Commissioner
Fletcher pointed out. For employees
who are healthy, satisfied and have
good working conditions always pro-
duce better work than those who do
not enjoy these advantages.

CHAPTER FL

WHEN ALIX left after seeing
Garcia Gushing wearing the brace
let John had shown her, Garcia
stood motionless for minute. She
was a little bit afraid. For once,
she thought. she had overstepped
her mark. IF John knew she had
told Alix that he had given her the
bracelet
But then John never did know.
She'd been pulling the wool over
his eyes for years and she could
always deny her words. She
shrugged elegant shoulders and APP
piled a pencil to her brows.
She had a righteous feeling.
John would be fool to get en-
tangled with this girl that nobody
knew. She didn't like Alix. Alix
was too beautiful and too clever.
She walked out Of the bedroom
and into the drawing room. She'd
be extra nice to Alix today. She
looked around for her.
where's Alix ?" she asked John.
"She had cocktail and left"
A slight frown darkened his face.
"She had said she had to go on to
someone's house but she didn't
look WE'LL"
"She told me she had a sick
headache" Garcia answered light
ly.
Alix walked and walked. It was
early spring but she neither saw
nor felt it. Around and around one
thing stood out in the miserable
swirl Of her thoughts.
John had given Garcia a dia-
mond bracelet instead of a ring.
A ring meant an engagement.
Well, why not?
He had only told her that he
thought he was falling in love with
her. He hadn't said he had.
He might even have been falling
in love with her a little, while he
loved Garcia deeply. She couldn't
hold that against him. She knew
enough about men to know that
was possible.
Well, had she expected anything
else? Of course, she hadn't.
She brushed shameless tears
away and walked on leaden feet.
Late that night she went home.
Her things Knocked her in the small
apartment: The chair where he
had sat. The ghost of his coat,
his hat where they had hung in
her foyer closet, the burned place
on the bookshelf where he had left
a cigaret.
