Your Health Upon Your Many organs take part in assimi lation of food, and a number are ac tive in eliminating those portions of the food which are not taken into the blood for the upbuilding of the body. Of the eliminative organs, the liver and the kidneys are of major importance, and are most likely to be overworked and become diseased. When such is the case, various trou bles of a digestive and eliminative character occur, and such troubles are so frequent and so common that it is absolutely necessary to find some relief. Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Remedy was compoSnded over 40 years ago to help equalize the work of both kidneys and liver. How successful it nas been is evi denced by its wide-spread sale and We Are No Stronger Than Our Fighting Blood Physical Fitness Our Sole Re liance. The great world struggle will be won by stamina.

' Transit Company Refuses Seeds Complaint that the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company had refused to haul seeds for planting, fertilizer materials and similar articles used in agriculture and gardening, not withstanding the fact that the em bargo on such things had been rais ed, was filed with the Public Service Commission to-day by the Henry F. Mitchell Co., of Philadelphia. It de clares that such shipments were re fused, a direct complaint to the president unanswered and that the only satisfaction that could be ob tained at the office of the company was that only four of the eleven freight cars of the system wer<! in operation. The complaint will b? sent to the company for answer. The answer of the transit com pany to the complaints against its service by the city of Philadelphia was received at the office of the commission by a special delivery this morning.

ONE SI'BSTITITE NOT NECESSARY FOR BAKERS It is not necessary that the baker limit himself to one substitute, a bul letin to-day from Washington points out. Substitutes may be combined in arriving at the 20 per cent, mixture, and combinations piay be found which will very materially improve the quality of bread produced by any one substitute. It is suggested, for example, that instead of using eight pounds of po tatoes to eighty pounds of (lour, that this amount oe cut to forty pounds of potatoes, which Is equivalent to ten pounds of wheat flour substitute, ten pounds of cornmeal and eighty pounds of wheat flour. There is some objec tion to potatoes because it is neces sary to cook them and also because of the large amount of moisture they retain after cooking. Some mixtures of rice and corn have been found to work better than corn alone. Pota toes and another substitute will work better than potatoes alone. PAIR CHARGED BY HUSBAND Branko N.

THEFOUR O A SERIAL OF YOUTH AND ROMANCE Ry VIRGINIA VAN DE WATER Copyright, 1918, Star Co. Cynthia had been reading aloud for an hour and a half. Now she closed her book at the suggestion of Edward Van Saun. '"You must be tired," he said. "And it is getting dark, I have taxed your good nature long enough." "I have enjoyed reading," she re plied, glancing at the volume in her hand. "It is strange what a fascina tion Peter lbbetson has for one. I am glad I never read it before, for sharing it with another makes it doubly charming." The wind howled about the house and the snow drifted against the windows. "It is storming harder than ever," Cynthia remarked. "I shall enjoy my tramp back home. 1 love walk ing in the snow." "I will order a cab for you," Ed ward Van Saun began, but was checked by the ringing of the tele phone on his desk. "Yes, son," he replied as Milton asked a question over the wire. "She is still here. No, I have no intention of allowing her to walk; you might know that." Cynthia felt her face flushing. "I like to walk," she protested. Her companion held up a warning hand. "Yes, Milton." he continued, "I un derstand. But it is nijt necessary for you to bring a taxi, as I can telephone for one. Of course our car chose this weather to get out of commission. All right, I will surely keep her until she comes. You say that Gerald is coming with you? Very well." "It was Milton," Ilr. Van Saun explained unnecessarily to the lis tening girl as he I'eturned the re ceiver to its hook. "He says the traveling is so bad that he is com ing uptown in a taxi, bringing Stew art to dinner with him. He wants | you to remain until he arrives, and he will take you home in the cab." "But I can walk," Cynthia reiter ated. "Really, I do not mind." Chairman Hays Begins Series of Conferences Washington.

Bryan, ex-Secretary of State of the I United States, has been invited to attend the Ottawa prohibition con vention which opens at Toronto. The Toronto News, in a big, front-page editorial, demands that the invita tion be canceled. "It was an outrage against the susceptibilities of the community," says the News, "to invite him here at this time. Canadians can never forget that but for him and men like him the allies would have had a less difficult task than they face to-day. Mr. Bryan has no message upon prohibition or upon any other topic that can interest the people of Toronto or Canada at the present time." I "I mind for you, my dear," the man rejoined. "Since you came the snow has drifted badly. I feel re sponsible for you, you see. What I would my good friends, the Living stones, say if I allowed you to reach them drenched and tired out? He smiled in his genial, fatherly way, and Cynthia smiled back at him. It was singularly pleasant to sit in this fire-lit library and chat with this man who reminded her so much I of her own father in his views of j life. It was the hour for confidences, ) and she found herself talking of ' her own home and her feelings and i ideals as she had not talked for a long time. She told herself that it was no wonder that Milton Van Saun was so tactful and adaptable with such a father as this. Dora was indeed a fortunate girl to be marrying into this family. Yes, would Dora en joy it as much as she would dif ferent surroundings surroundings more like her own home? But of course she would, for Dora rebelled against the conventionalities'dear to her parents. Still, she did not seem to feel life and its problems deeply, although she was a dear child. Cynthia talked on contentedly. She did not mention her financial affairs. They seemed too sordid to introduce hero and now. They would make a discordant note in the per fect harmony of this quiet time. A loud ring at the doorbell pre ceded a suddent opening af the li brary door, and Dora entered, rosy and laughing. "Good afternoon, Mr. Van Saun! Hallo, Cyn!" sh6 greeted her cousin. "1 came by in the car for you. I finished my shopping and then re membered that you would have to walk home unless I picked you up. So I drove by here. But first I am going to get warm by this luscious fire. Ugh, but it is could out of doors'." "It's dear of you to come by for me with the car, Dora," she re- Rescue Steamers Visit Scene of Florizel Wreck Seeking More Survivors By Associated Press St. John's N. F., Feb. 27. —Rescue steamers tfere ordered to-day to in vestigate a report received here that signals from the Bed Cross liner Florizel, wrecked Sunday morning near Cape Race, indicated persons were alive on the vessel. Although agents of Bowring and owners of the line, ex pressed doubt that any survivors re mained aboard the ship after 4 4 persons were taken off Monday and brought here, the captain of the steamer Terra Nova which was near the scene, was ordered by wireless to make an immediate search of the wreckage. Earlier reports had stat ed that the Florizel was rapidly breaking up, and that it was diffi cult for small boats to reach her. All told there were 136 persons on the Florizel when she sailed from here Saturday night for Halifax and New York and of this number 92 were lost. The Florizel was half submerged and lying in a dangerous position when the survivors were taken ofT. Government authorities affirmed the report that the signals had come from the ship said that while this might be true It was un likely that survivors were aboard to day.

"Now —to Mr. Van Saun, "your son will not have to take me home in his taxi." "Oh, was Milton getting a taxi for you?" Dora questioned. Edward Van Saun hastened to ex plain the situation. "He and Stew art are coming up in a cab anyway," he added. Dora's face changed. "So Gerald is coming, too, is he? Then why can't I send my car away and let the boys take botlx Cynthia and me home?'' Cynthia interposed. "I think it would be better for us both to go home in your car, now, Dora, and spare them the necessity of send ing either of us home," she said. "I will get on my hat and coat at once." Dora stopped her, laughing and flushing. "I have a better plan to suggest," she said impulsively. "Since Milton is so crazy to act as your escort let him do it. And I will have Gerald drive around in my car with me. Then both men can return here in their taxi." As she saw the look of astonish ment on the faces of her listeners, she laughed again with a self-con sciousness unusual to her. (To Re Continued Friday.) Advice to the Lovelorn u>- BEATRICE FAIRFAX "KEEPING COMPANY" DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: Will you kindly advise me whether it is proper for a young man who is keeping steady company to go out with* other girls. They love each other very much, but the young man is under the impression that it is proper to go out with other girls, whereas the girl believes it is not. Also whether it is right for a young man to present a small piece of jew elry to a girl with whom he is keep ing steady company, and has serious intentions, but is not quite engaged —that is, has not yet given her the ring, or is it right to wait until he gives her the engagement ring be fore making other small jewelry gifts? The phrase "keeping company" is one of my pet aversions. People are either engaged or they are not; even an "understanding" is a sort of tenta tive engagement. It means that when the people concerned are in a position to announce their engagement they w ill do so.
