Do you real ize what sort of a state of wind you're drifting Into? You married me under more or less compulsion —compulsion of circumstances—and gradually you're beginning to get dissatisfied, to pity yourself. You'll precipitate things you maybe don't dream of now if you keep on. Hang It, I didn't create the circumstances! I only showed you a way out. You took It.

As proof of this, take the case of >r. James Louis Beyea. who for fifteen ears was Adjunct Professor in the ew York Homeopathic Medical Col ge. At nearly 80 years of age. Dr. eyea was very much weakened and ir-down. He made up his mind to >new his vital energy and fill his iins again with youthful vim and gor. He therefore prescribed Nux :ed Iron for himself and took it. A lort course of it made lilni feel like new man. So much so that he savs is friends ask, "What have you been >ing to yourself you look so well and ill of life." His reply Is, "Taking ire of my blood and building it up ith Iron —Nuxated Iron." Dr. Beyea irther says that there is nothing like In his opinion to put youthful rength and power into the veins of le weak, run-down, Infirm or aged. Then there is Former Health Com issioner Wm. R.

You're a thoroughbred and high strung as thoroughbreds are. It takes something besides three meals a day and plenty of good clothes to complete your existence. If I can't make it complete some other man will make you think he can. Why don't you try? Haven't I got any possibilities as a lover? Can't you throw a little halo of rom ance about me for your own sake— if not for mine. He drew her up close to him, stroking tenderly the glossy brown hair that flowed about her shoul ders. "Try it, Stella," he whispered pas sionately. "Try -wanting to like me for a change. I can't make love by myself. Shake off that infernal apathy that's taking possession of you where I'm concerned. If you can't love me, for God's sake fight with mcj! Do something!" Looking back at that evening as the summer wore on Stella per ceived that it was the starting point of many things, no one of them defi nitely outstanding by itself, but bulking large. as a whole. Fyfe made his- appeal, and it left her un moved save In certain superficial aspects. Sho was sorry, but she was mostly sorry for herself. And she denied his premonition of disaster. She never dreamed that Jack Fyfe could possibly have foreseen in Wal ter Monohan a dangerous factor in their lives. A man is not supposed to have uncanny intuitions, even when his wife is a wonderfully at tractive woman who does not care for him except in a friendly sort of way. Stella herself had ample warn ing. From the first time of meet ing the man's presence affected her strangely, made an appeal to her that no man had ever made. There was no denying the man's personal charm in the ordinary sense of the word. He was virile, handsome, cultured, just such a man as she could easily have centered her heart upon in times past—just such a man as can set a woman's heart thrilling when he lays siege to her. If PUT ME AMONGST THE GIRLS And Boys—l'll be Gol darned if that there Nuxated Iron hasn't made me feel like a boy again; full of vim and vigor—it certainly has the "kick" in it. "I have found Nuxated Iron of the greatest benefit as a tonic and regula tive Henceforth I shall not be with ? am in a position to testify for the advantage of others, to the re markable and immediate helpfulness of this remedy, and I unhesitatingly recommended Nuxated Iron to all who feel the need of renewed energy and the regularity of bodily functions." Dr. K. hauer, a Boston Physician, who has studied both in this country and great European Medical Insti tutions Paid: Nuxated Iron is a won derful remedy Not long ago a man came to me who was nearly half a century old and asked me to give him a preliminary examination for life insurance. I was astonished to find him with the blood pressure of a boy of twenty, and as full of vigor, vim and vitality as a young man; in fact a . y °j, nK !?, an really was notwith standing his agi>. The secret he said was taking iron—Nuxated Iron had filled nim with renewed life. At 30 he was in bad health; at 46 he was careworn and nearly all In—now at no after taking Xuxated Iron, a mir acle of vitality and his face beaming: with the buoyancy of youth.

But he did nothing of the sort. He was a friend, or at least he became so. Inevitably they were thrown much together. There was a con tinual informal running back and forth between Fyfe's place and Ab bey's. Monohan was a lily of the field, although it was common knowl edge on Roaring lake that lie was a heavy stockholder in the Abbey- Monohan combination. At any rate, he was holidaying on the lake that summer. There had grown up a genuine intimacy between Linda and Stella. There were always people at the Abbey's, sometimes a few guests at the Fyfe bungalow. Stella's marvelous voice served to heighten her popularity. The net result of it was that in the following three months scarce three days went by that she did not converse with Monohan. She could not help making com- ( parisons between the two men. They stood out in marked contrast, in manner, physique, in everything. Where Fyfe was reserved almost to taciturnity, impassive featured, save for that whimsical gleam that was never wholly absent from his keen blue eyes, Monohan talked with facile ease, with wonderful expres siveness of face. He was a finished product of courteous generations. Moreover, he had been everywhere, done a little of everything, acquired in his manner something of the ver satility of his experience. Physically he was fit as any logger in the camps, a big, active bodied, clear eyed, ruddy man. What it was about him that stirred her so Stella could never determine. She knew beyond peradventure that he had that power. He had the gift of quick, sympathetic peroeption, but so too had Jack Fyfe, she re minded herself. Yet no tone of Jack Fyfe's voice could raise a flutter trouble and other dangerous maladies. Thousands of people suffer from iron deficiency and do not know it. If you are not strong or well you owe It to yourself to make the following test- See how long you can work or how far you can walk without becoming tired. Next take two five-grain tab lets of Nuxated Iron three times per day after meals for two weeks. Then test your strength again and see how much you have gained. NOTE—Nuxated Iron which has been used by Dr. Beyea and others with such surprising results and which is prescribed and recommend ed by physicians in such a great va riety of cases, is not a patent medi cine nor secret remedy, but one which is well known to druggists every where.

(To be continued.) Advice to the Lovelorn Write to Him Dear Miss Fairfax: About four years ago I met a young man with whom I fell In love, and it was reciprocated. A year and a half later we had a quarrel and parted. Since then he has paid at tention to another girl. A year ago February I lost my mother, and the following May my father died. I was twenty-two. The day before my father was burled this young man came and asked me it I would accept his sympathy. All I could do was shake hands with him. Since then I have been friendly wit hhim. Now his father is dying. Would it look forward to write and ask if I can do anything for him? Of course, you have the natural reticence any tine girl would feel un-l cler the circumstances. However much more care for this boy, you must hesitate to take him from the other girl, who probably cares, too. For the present I think you may dismiss that phase of the situation from your mind and think only of the old friendship, of the fact that the boy's father, who is fond of you, is dying. An offer of sympathy is almost required of you. To fail to make it would mean to show an ugly, oold- and selfish Indifference. Write him a friendly letter, telling him how deeply you. who have seen a beloved father sick and suffering, sympathize with him now and how happy you would be if it were in your power to help an old friend in time of trouble. They Must Do Their Share Dear Miss Fairfax: I am employed as a stenographer, earning sl4 a week. I have an in valid mother and my father is tak ing care of her. Although I have three other broth ers, the burden of the household falls on me and my youngest broth er, who is' suffering from a nervous breakdown. The older two are out of work for a long while, and either cannot get work or do not care to. Tn spite of frequent talks they do not make any attempts to lighten my burden. Discouraged. Of course there are men who so little deserve the name and who are so shiftless that they are perfectly willing to sit back and let a young girl slave for their support. But I hope that your brothers are only a little bit weak and discouraged over difficulty to get work. Tell them frankly that either they must secure work or you will get it for them, and that if they are willing to <Jo their share you will have to take steps to force them either to con tribute to the support of your house hold or to cease draining its re sources. I think if you were to threaten them with the law it might wake them up to the folly of their ways. Perhaps they simply do not realize what "slackers" they are. If you need their help the Legal Aid Society will give it to you for a very small fee—a few cents.

All's Well That a Ends Well m Joe Eaton decided that his wife, Emmie, was narrow-minded. Of course the code of morals in a place as small as Cress Center was bound to .be .a straight and narrow path, but Joe, as a man, despised the small town gossip tliat the women indulged in, and wished Emmie wouldn't do it. "And now," he muttered to him self, "I suppose the women will talk their heads on and treat that poor ] Kill like dirt. Gee, I'm sorry for her I wonder if Emmie has heard about it yet. Of course she has, though. Some one will be sure to call her up about it." . . He turned in at the Kate of his home and walked around to the back door, which swung back noislessly, and went into the big sunny kitchen, which was empty, from the dining room a noise of some one talking came out to him. His lip curled sar castically; the women are at it al ready. "Tearing the poor girl's re putation to pieces," he muttered. Esther Conklin. the prettiest and most light-hearted girl in the village had offended the moral standing of Cress Center. She had gone out of town to a band concert with one of the youths, and due to an accident and the fact that It had been im possible to get communications back, the young people had not driven home until the next morning. At least that was the story they told. Or course, no one in Cress Center would believe such a thing. Wasn't Esther too pretty for any good, and wasn't she always in some hot water or other? Never a bit of good to her mother. Joe heard the click of the receiver as Emmie rung off; the next min ute she appeared in the door and ex claimed joyously, as she saw him standing there. It was unusual for Joe to be home at this time. Why. she hadn't finished her morning's work. "Hello," she began brightly. She wore a pink gingham dress, and her cheeks just matched its rosiness. Her hair was'simply combed back from her forehead and kinked at tractively. Joe looked at her hun grily, but he waited for her to speak and pronounce scaithing judgment upon Esther Conklin. He wondered why she didn't tell him without so much time wasted, but she said noth ing at all about it. "Were you talking over the tele phone?" he asked finally. She nodded. "The minister's wife wanted to know how I fixed tomato pickle." she vouchsafed. "That all?" he asked. "Why yes, Joe," she looked sur prised. / "Heard any news?" "N'o." "That's strange. I thought It would be all over town by now. Esther Conklin didn't get home till this morning from last night's band con cert over to the junction." "What was the matter. Joe?" "Oh, they tell of a breakdown and they couldn't get anything to bring them back." Joe spoke uncompromisingly. He was waiting on Emmie to begin. But nothing happened. "You believe it, don't you?" she asked. "Sure! but the town won't. "Well, they ought to, Dmmie said Indignantly. "Esther's foolish, but I don't believe anything wrong about her. and that's certain." The telephone rang and Emmie an swered it. "Why, yes, I've heard," Joe listened, "but I don't believe there's anything wrong about her % wrong. Oh, no, Mrs. Gray, I don't agree with you. I don't think we ought to jump to conclusions." She talked for a few minutes, and when she came back to the kitchen her cheeks were mo -e flushed than usual, and she was untying her apron. "Joe, I'm going over to see Esther, I'm afraid she's miserablle, she prob ably needs someone to stand by her. Her father is awfully strict. you know." Joe was speechless. Was this Em mie, the woman he had thought nar row? Why had she always shown that other side of herself?" "You think I am doing right, don't you, Joe?" she asked, noting his silence. "Surely you agree with me." and she went up to him. Give The Stomach A Chance To Work We can't expect the stomach to act normally if the natural avenues of elimination are blocked so It cannot dispose of its refuse. When the bowels are constipated the stomach Is called upon for work beyond Its capacity and the result 1s bloat, belch ing, headache, and discomfort gener ally, and, unless the condition Is promptly relieved, serious illness. An effective remedy for constipa tion Is sold In drug stores under the name of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. It Is a combination of simple laxa tive herbs with pepsin that acts on the bowels in a gentle, natural man ner, without griping or other pain or discomfort, affording speedy relief. Get a bottle of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin from your druggist and have it In the house when you need It; It costs only fifty cents and is the Ideal family remedy, mild enough for chil dren and old people, yet sufficiently powerful for the strongest constitu tion. A trial bottle, free of charge, can be obtained by writing to Dr. W B. Caldwell, 458 Washington St., Mon .tlcello, Illinois He put both hands on her shoulders and looked down into her wide blue eyes. There was admiration in his. "You've never been like this before, he said. His brow wrinkled as though he could not understand. "I thought you'd be like the other women, quick to judge. You always like to listen to tlieir gossip." "Yes, dear, about little things." she assented, "but not where a giri's repu tation is concerned. In a small town there is nothing else to do but 'visit,' as we women call it. but I've never gossiped about anything serious. Sup pose we ask Esther and her young man over for supper this evening. That ought to show folks the way we feel." \ -•* l i rr 5 111 OCTOBER 2, 1917. Food Saving Lesson Every pound of vegetables prop erly put by for future use, every jar of fruit preserved, adds that much to our Insurance of victory.—President Wilson. There are many ways in which windfall and cull apples may be made into valuable and palatable food products, such aa apple sauce, cider, apple sirup, cider vinegar, jelly, preserves, etc., says to-day's bulletin of the National Emergency Food Garden Commission, which is work ing In conjunction with this paper to conserve the nation's food supply. In this lesson the bulletin offers this receipt for canning such apples for pie filling. Wash, core and pare the apples and remove all decayed or injured spots. Slice apples quickly into a basin containing slightly salted cold water (about 1 teaspoonful per gallon) to keep from discoloring. Pack fresh cold product in glass jars or tin cans. Add one cupful of hot, thin sirup of about 18 degrees den sity (or about 1 pound of sugar to 4 pints of water) to each quart of fruit. If using glass cans, put on the rubbers and screw on the tops, but do not seal completely. If using tin cans, cap and tip, sealing up completely. Sterilize 12 minutes in liot water bath, homemade outfit: 10 minutes in water sealed outfit; C minutes under five pounds of steam pressure; 6 minuter m aluminum pressure cooker. Remove jars, tighten covers, invert to cool and test joints. Wrap in paper and store. This filling can be used for making apple pies in the same way that fresh apples would be usa, with the ex ception that the sirup must be poured oft and less sugar should be used. Since the apples have already been cooked, only enough heat is needed to cook 'the crust and warm the apples through. Pies may be baked in 7 minutes. The apple pies, made with these apples are, in the opin ion of. many housekeepers, us good as those made with fresh fruit, and they can be made in less time and arc less expensive. 5
