were right with him.
The Reverend John MacQueen
greeted them.

Il suppose you understand every
thing noW-after the rehearsal? ?"
Yes, sir" said Bill. He smiled.
But l do wish you could have dug
up a shorter ceremony. Seems to
me there's an awful lot to getting
married"
The minister looked very stern.
Getting married, my dear boy"
he said, is a serious business"
And a long ceremony" said
Joel, gives you a chance to back
out if you feel like it,"
That will do. JOEL" said Aunt
Sallie. Then to the minister she
said: Don't mind these two, Doc
tor, they're still incorrigible."
Bill turned to Joel. You've got
the ring, haven't you?" he asked.
Il have" Joel assured.
Aunt Sallie began to fuss with
Bills tie. You look adorable,
honey" she said. And l DO want
you to be happy-With Rita"
Thanks, Aunt Sallie," Bill said.
But l wish you wouldn't look SO
forlorn every time you mention
Rita's name"
You should have that sort of
look" said Joel, Ito use when you
wish Rita happiness"
The minister looked uncomfort-
able, and edged toward the door.

Joel watched them, And all of a
sudden he realized that he was
finding out how his cousin would
react when there were no banners
flying and no trumpets blowing.
William Randall Latham was on
the verge of going to pieces. Old
Bill just couldn't take it.

Aunt Sallie reached out to take

didn't take hold of it. The door was
suddenly opened from the other
side, and Rita Linwood came into
the room like a lovely whirlWind.

Lozenges Are Good for
Easing That Rospy Cough

They act very much the same way
as cough syrups. Sugar is the
great pacitier of the irritated
larynX, and the sugar content is
really more Of their secret than
anything else. 50 they arc indi-
Gated, as | said of cough syrups,
in the stage when the cough be-
comes more habltual than pro-
ductive. You have coughed and
coughed until your voice box is all
red and congested and swollen,
and it keeps irritating you and
making you cough more and keep
ing you awake at night until
you're all worn out, and it isn't
doing any good because it isn't
bringing up any of the secretlons
and infective material.
That is when the cough drops,
the lozenges, the troches come in.
There are all kinds of them. The
troches Of slippery elm arc official
in the National Formulary and are
among the best. But you a get
many f1avors and kinds to suit
your palate. In practice they are
really better than the cough syr-
ups because they stay longer IN
the mouth and exert their soothing
action over a longer period of time.
Don't forget them in the latter
stages of a cold. It's the little
things that count in treating colds.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
T. Y.:-"What is albumin in
the urine Of a young girl? Is it
serious and what is the proper
procedure?"
Answer-Albumin is found in a
great many kidney diseases and is
serious just in proportion to the
condition that is behind it. In
people over middle age it is much
more serious than in young people
because it means Bright's Disease.
In general, albumin in the urine
in young people is not to be re-
garded as a serious problem. No
treatment by diet is Of any value
and the most successful treatment
has been aimed at posture because
some doctors think there is a slight
deviation of the spinal column.
The albumin appears only when
these people are on their feet a
long time.
