she had realized it. Last nioht she

She should have been sure be-

been complete. She should have
known when she came downstairs

AFTER peeping into her mothers
room n saw the front door was
unlocked. She had been sure she'd
locKed 1t, but also willing to think
she might have forgotten. So she
locked 1t again and had gone I'D to

rather than the door bell. Running
TO her mothers room, the old lady
had said someone was at the front
door. She had caught up robe and
Shippers and gone down, WONDERING
And then she had seer Anne and
Russell standing together on the
porch. Russell had said, You
locked Anne out"
Just like that. She had been I'm

you to her and Good night" to
Russell and ran lightly upstairs.
Russell had looked at her as if

though the night was so warm.
She had gone to her room and
locked the door. AS she passed in
the hall she could hear her mother
and Anne talking and her mother
had laughed. She had hated the
sound of that laugh. 1t meart Anne
had said she was out walking with
Russell in the moonlight and her
mother had found it amusing.
Anne always makes me laugh"
That was her mothers usual ex-
preston.
Now. sitting in her library sur
rounded by the shelves packed with
books, she had a chance to think
steadily. That hadn't been possible
at home. She had gotten up and
come away early. She krrw she
wasn't ready to face anne, not yet.
She had been afraid she might
yield to the impulse TO smack the
girls sneaky face. Aid that wasn't
the way to settle things. So she
had driven here to Weston and had

Several people came III. It
was after 10 o'cloc when everyone
was gone. And Laura had made up
her NINA. She closed up the library
after putting a sign on the door
that she would soon be back. Then
she walked around the corner with
a firm step. Weston was a small
town and it took no more than two
minutes to reach Russells law Of

Miss Tiller greeted her brightly.

at her best in her lending hbrarv
in Weston. She had good taste not
only in books, but also n decora-

attractive, with a big rue on the

build one. if necessary with her
own hands. The place was running
at a loss without counting her in
Vestment in books or he cost of
her intended sOcials, but she could
sweep such details aside with a
swift gesture of her fine, slim
hands. Rome wasn't built iE a day.
1t would take time to build I'D her
circle of enthusiastic readers.
Once she got her book club started,
that would help. In any case, it
was summer, and in summer the
whole eastern shore thought of
nothing but sport. Patience was re-
quired.
Patience was a Woru Laura often
used, both aloud ant in her
thoughts. She considered herself a
very patient person, while really
she was quite the reverse. She
wanted life to keep pace with her
swift thoughts and fancies. There
were so many times when she felt
like catching people by the hair
and dragging them along with
her. At other times she felt life
slipping away from her and still
she had achieved nothing. And she
wanted to do SO much. Right now
she wanted her library 10 succeed,
to become a literary center. She
could picture herself 5eing invited
by one of the finer magazines to
write an article III the cultural
awakening which she had brought
into being.
In truth, she had been really pa

The first is putting iodine or

Second, most skin eruptions

and Mrs. A. c. about 80 per cent
on this. They probably do as much

the professional dermatologlst.
Home Use of Cathartics
Third, cathartics. This is the

Sixth, something for the nerves,

And it does a great deal Of harm,
partly because it is easy to obtain,
partly because large doses can be
taken without any obvious imme-
date effect, and partly because
bromide intoxication is not very
often recognized even by members
of the medical profession.
Bromides Harmful
Bromides are salts of bromine
sodium, potassium, strontlum.
Their archaeological action is as
a sedative on the cortex OF the
brain, particularly the motor
area. They were once the standby
and are still used extensively for
epilepsy. But by quoting motor
muscle r~estlessness they quiet the
nerves all over and induce sleep.
So they are the main ingredients
of al! kinds of medicines used for

nerves and hangovers, and 1t IS
very easy for a nervous person
to get the habit of taking them
without knowing what they con-
tain and without knowing that
they accumulate in the body and
cause true intoXicatiOn.
All doctors know that when
full bromide dosage occurs there
is a nasty looking pustular erup-
ton on the skin. But not all know
that before the stage of erup-
ton appear a state Of mental con-
fusion, diminished power of con-
centration, unsteady gait, even
Authorizations and delirium may

pital 20 of these cases

Fortunately the treatment is
very simple and effective. 1t con-
sists in giving plenty of ordinary
table salt-sodium chloride. The
bromides replace the chlorine
atom in the body tissues, become
fixed there and are eliminated only
very slowly. But the cklorides, if
administered in good quantity,
drive out the bromides.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Answer: The druggists name
for pheno-barbital is luminal. l!

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

NJ. X. W.:-Has a black widow
spider got a red spot on the back
and are they considered very dan
gerous?"
Answer: The female black wild.
ow spider has a red h%our-glass
shaped mark on her abdomen. The
bites are painful, but not often
serious. The poison a is under
the control of voluntary muscles
and often the spider does not
empty any poison into the wound.
The best treatment seems to be to
apply a flaming match head to the
wound as soon as possible after
the bite. If nervous symptoms de-
velop, they can be controlled by
injections OF calcium gluconate.
