OF INTEREST TO THE WOMEN
THE STRUGGLES OF A WIFE
By Virginia Terhune Van de Water
CHAPTER XXIX.
Copyright, 1916, Star Company.
Myra Webb attacked her new story
■with the conviction that on this de
pended much of her future success or
failure.
# If she could write something fine
in spite of the intangible discour
agements in her home; if she could
prove that ihe she could rise above
fears and doubts to such an extent
as to forget her surroundings and
throw herself into her tales, then she
might have confidence in her own
powers.
She determined that she would
make good. She did not know that j
she was exercising auto suggestion,
but she was.
The secret of many a man's and
woman's triumph over circumstances
lies in his or her ability to persuade
the subsc.onscious self that what
must be done can be done.
It was through this ability that
Myra at last wrote her new story. [
She felt as if she was Impelled by some
inner force of which she knew lit- (
tie.
Things became vivid before her
mind's eye and she depicted them in
forceful language. When she must 1
stop her work she felt weary and
spent, as if virtue bad gone out of
her. At the end of the third day
she had finished the rough copy of her
work. She put it aside and would
not look at it again until to-morrow. I
It seemed almost like another
person's work when she read it the
following morning. She made sun
dry corrections, then began carefully ,
and laboriously to copy her story. She I
called it "Truth." That was what I
Mr. Martin had said he wanted —a
Story that had truth in it.
When at last the manuscript was
typed and ready for deliver}', she took
it downtown and left it with Mr. Mar
tin's stenographer. The editor him
self was busy in his inner office and ,
she would not disturb him.
The Aftermath
There is a sense of blankness and
stateness after one has finished an
absorbing piece of writing, and this
s«s liled Myra now. She wanted to
t away from herself —from her
thoughts. To this end she made an
ll lpusiv e suggestion to Grace when she ,
reached boipe that afternoon.
"Perhaps you would like to plan
the dinner party of which you spoke
the other day," she ventured. "When
do you want to have it? Suppose we,
eay the latter part of next week?"
Perhaps she was reckless; perhaps
(lie money she hoped for would not be
forthcoming. Perhaps the story would
be returned to her. The idea was in
tolerable—she must think of some
thing else.
"All right," Grace agreed. "I am
glad you introduced the subject your
self. mother, if you had not I would I
not have done so. I made up my i
mind to that when T saw how self- 1
absorbed, and depressed you have
been lately." '
MAN KILLS MOTHER, BABY,
DArGHTER, SOX AND SELF
Rochester, Ind., May 17.—William
Dollars, 30, a miller at Macy, a village ;
near here, yesterday shot and killed
his mother. Mrs. Anna Dollar, 50, and j
fSughter Agnes, 8, fatally wounded his i
son George, 11, and baby Ida. 2, and j
then went to a nearby cemetery, where |
he killed himself on the grave of his '
wife.
It in believed that the recent sudden
death of Dollar's wife caused insanity.
The Inner Secret
of New Post Toasties
A glance at one of these new corn flakes reveals
novel, little bubbles which are raised by the quick, in
tense heat of a new process of manufacture.
These bubbles are an identifying feature of these
—the only corn flakes with a self-developed, deli
cious corn flavour —the only flakes that do not have
to depend largely on cream and sugar for palatabil
ity.
Try some of the New Toasties dry—they're
good that way—the children munch them like candy.
But of course the delicious new flavour is more pro
" nounced when the flakes are served with sugar and
cream.
The New Post Toasties do not waste into
"chaff" in the package, and they don't mush down in
cream like other flakes. They're a vast improvement
over old-fashioned corn flakes and have met with
enthusiastic approval everywhere.

WEDNESDAY EVENING,
I "Self-absorbed! Depressed!" Myra
exclaimed. Why, dear child, I have
| not been that, have I?"
j "You certainly have," mother, the
! girl declared. "I thought perhaps
you were peeved at my planning to
have company here so soon."
"Nothing' of the kind." Myra dis
claimed. "I have been occupied with
my writing, that's all."
"Well, it is a pity to be so much
engrossed in any occupation that one
cannot be cheerful and bright, I
think." Grace remarked. "I get that
way myself sometimes, I acknowledge,
[ but with me It is different —so much
, depends on my success in the future."
"I know, dear," the mother sympa
, thized. She did not remark that a
j great deal, too, depended upon her
•success as a writer.
But she encouraged the girl to
talk about the coming dinner party.
Grace had decided that there were to
be four couples In all.
"You and father and myself," she
said, "Miss Perkins and her brother.
Mary Jarker and Robert Havland. And
i now we want one more man."
"What about Max Courtney? We
nave not seen him since he called heve
last Summer."
"No, we haven't," Grace rejoined,
; "and I did not intend to ask him
i again."
"Hut perhaps I will, just to show
i hint that I do not eare whether he
wants to marry a rich girl or not. It
1 peeved me at first, but now 1 don't
; care. I wish," dreamily, "that I
could invite a much nicer man whom
I know, his name is Dayton—Henry
: Dayton."
I "I remember your speaking of him
I last Winter," Myra rejoined. "You
j met him at the dance, didn't you?
Why not invite him?"
i "Because he has money, and we
have not," said Grace. "That puts
him out of my circle entirely. All
of my associates are not poor, but
I none of them has lot of money, as
Mr. Dayton has. By the way, I saw
him the other night driving down
the street, but I pretended not to."
The young eyes were wistful, and
the mother sighed to to herself. Grace
would not regard matters as other
girls might. If she avoided all men
who had money, she would never
have any chance to marry anyone but
a poor man.
How mercenary the lack of a
sufficient income made a parent! Myra.
reflected. Well, never mind Grace
should have a dinner party even if her
mother was not sure yet whether she
would have money enough to pay the
bills afterward.
Perry Martin went to Boston on
business about this time, so Myra
Webb's manuscript lay untouched iti '
the safe until his return.
Grace's dinner party was a success.
"It was really very stunning" the girl
declared happily. She told her moth
er she never supposed they could en
tertain as well as this, in such a small
: apartment.

Will Spend Life in Jail
Rather Than Give In
By Associated Press
Pittsburgh, Pa.. May 1". —Christian
I.ieberum, a Civil War veteran, who
has already spent two years in the
Allegheny county jail for contempt of
court because he refused to obey a
court order to remove his old home
to make way for a public highway
near McKeesport, has returned to jail
voluntarily and says he will spend the
rest of his life there unless the court
changes its mind.
I Three attempts have been mads in
the lower courts to secure his freedom
on writs of habeas corpus without
result. Recently his case was ap
pealed to the State supreme court
which sustained the lower tribunals.
Pending the appeal he was released.
When an adverse decision was hand
ed down Lleberum, because of
conscientious scruples, went to the!
j jail and gave himself up.

align themselves with any party but)

and parties from the standpoint ot'

FOODS WHICH CAUSE
OF GERMAN SAILO
CHAPTER 5».
Tlie Striking Contrast Between the
i Foods Which Caused the Collapse of
(lie (.eriiinn Sailors and (he Foods on
Which They Quickly Recovered
j Strength and Health Has Become a
IStumbling Block In (lie I'atli of Food
Authorities Who Persist ill Attributing
to High Calorie Foods the Virtues
Which Ik> Not Belong to Them.
The lesson of the Kronprinz Wll
helm is this. She has proved con
clusively the inadequacy of those very
foods on which America relies so
heavily. Heretofore no prolonged ex
periments have been conducted to de-
11 ermine the evil results of living ex
clusively on such foods. The Kron
prinz has furnished that experiment.
There can be no greater or more suf
i flcient proof of the folly of unbalanc
ing food by refining processes; of the
folly of ignoring the meaning of the
salts, colloids and vltamines natural
to all unprocessed foods; of the folly
of claiming for high calorie foods the
absurd virtues which they do not
possess.
Shortly after the arrival of the Ger
man cruiser at Newport News, the
ship's surgeon, Dr. Perrenon, con
sidered with me all these points and
many more. He realized the neces
sity of restoring to the bodies of his
sick men the bases or which they had
been deprived.
The formula which it was my privi
lege to suggest, and which was
adopted by him for the treatment of
the acidosis among the German sail
ors, was as follows:
"To one hundred pounds of wheat
bran add two hundred pounds water.
Ueech for twelve hours at 120 degrees
F. Drain off liquor. Qive each man
eight ounces each morning.
"Give each man one teaspoonful
wheat bran morning and night until
contraindicated by loose stools.
"801 l cabbage, carrots, parsnips,
spinach, onions, turnips together two
hours. Drain off liquor. Discard
residue. Feed liquor as soup in gen
erous quantities with unbuttered
whole wheat bread.
"Wash and peel potatoes. Discard
potatoes. Retain the skins. Boil
skins two hours. Give the liquor to
men to drink, four ounces a day.
"CHve to each man yolks of four
eggs a day in .fresh, sweet, unskim
med milk, one yolk every three hours,
with as much milk as he will drink by
sipping.
"At noon, with dry whole wheat
bread, give one ounce fresh roast beef.
"One hour before drinking milk wive
Juice of ripe orange, or lemon juice,
diluted with water without sugar.
"Keep apples or apple sauce within
reach of men all the time.
"At the end of first week let men
"at solid vegetable soup as well as
liquor.
"II is imperative that men shall
a,void all cheese, whites of egg, but
ter, lard, fat of any kind, white bread,
crackers, pastry, puddings, mashed
potatoes, sugar, saccharine, salt meat,
fish, polished rice, pearled barley, de
germinated cornmeal, and gravy."
From the ship's cook, as translated
by Dr. Perrenon. was obtained a chart
showing what each meal consisted of
prior to the breaking out of the dis
ease among the. men. This chart not
Only accounts for the disease, but also
j for the nature of the prescription re
i oorded above.

After the prescription for the treat
ment of the sick sailors had been
placed In his hands Dr. Perrenon
wrote me as follows:
"Newport News, April 16. 1915.
'"Alfred W. McCann, New York City.
"Dear Mr. McCann--Many thanks
for your kind suggestion for the relief
of the beri-beri which we have on

We are now about to consider the
results of this natural treatment, but
first must note the fact that none of
the officers of the cruiser were
stricken.
The many raids never resulted in
any large quantity of'fresh vegetables
or fruits, so if divided among the
crew such l'resh vegetables would not
have sufficed for more than a day or
two. In consequence they were re
served for the officers' table, which
. they managed to provide with gener
ous quantities from one raid to an
other.
While all the officers showed symp-
I toms of anemia and mild acidosis,
none of them were prostrated.
ropean situation, because there might
come a time when the United States
would have to do what It did not de

spirits has been that It has been up to
me to choose when that time came."
He addedi that he did not conceive that
he had been elected President to do
as he pleased. "If I were, It would
have ben very much more Interesting."

j Impressions of public men as a class
I were given frankly by the President,

IS YOUR BLOOD
A RED STREAM
No Where in This Paper Is There a Better Lesson to
Be Learned Than That Taught By S. S. S.
How many men go about us
with bad blood? Science speaks
in figures that would appall those
who do not know. Poisoned
blood is the keystone of the build
ing called Disease. Almost every
disease is due to bad blood. Germ
life which fosters itself on our
blood destroys all manner of men
in a slow and insidious fashion.
Rheumatism, that craftiest of all
diseases. attacks its victims
through the blood. So does Ca
tarrh, Eczema, Tetter and many
skin diseases. The body of man
will take care of almost every
case of disease provided the blood
is pure and normal. If the blood
is run down, then beware, for it is
the heavy artillery of the body
and without it man falls an easy
prey to even the simplest of mal
adies. This is particularly true in
the hot season.
S. S. S. is the world's greatest
blood purifier. Why? Simply be
cause it is extracted from vege
table ingredients that reach the
blood in almost their identical
quality, when they have passed
through the stomach and intes
tines.
S. S. S. has met every demand
made upon it by hundreds of
thousands of sufferers of almost
every known blood disease. That
is why this great blood purifier is
sold everywhere to all classes of
people and why it is carried by.
every drug store in every city in
our land. No druggist would anv
more open a drug store without
S. S. S. than he would without
