She was in a fearfully false posi tion, Elizabeth Wade mused as she eat in the dark, listening to the mur fnur of the voices of Amos Chapin and his son. Suddenly a sentence, spoken more loudly than those that precede it. reach her ear, and she leaned for ward cageily. Clifford was talking "1 he farm certainly is doing better tor his being here." he was saying "If you want to buy it. as you in sist, it will be worth more to you than it was before he came." "Yes. and Wade will want more for it if he sees that," the older man grumbled. "I told you about that stranger that came up from New York this spring to see the country around here." "You mentioned that a man had been looking for a building site for a summer home." Clifford replied. "Well, what he set his heart on was the bit of meadowlaml down •tear the lake—that piece that , about the others." . "The knoll? Yes. 1 know. It's a candy place for a house." "So he thinks. And he's willing to pay a big price for it. 1 told him I held it very high. He's chock full of money. I said I'd not. think of selling it yet. but that I might consider talking the matter over with him in the fall." "But it's Wade's property," Clif ford reminded him. "What good does that do you?" "If I can buy the. farm before this New Yorker comes again, I can ask him most any x*ce I like." "But how can >">>'■ buy the farm? Hive you the money?" "I have some. The rest I must borrow. You might help me get it Clif. You know lots of business men out in Chicago." "What about security?" the ques tion was put doubtfully. "Can't you see that if I can get this farm from Wade. then sell that meadow land for a whopping big sum to the New York chap, I can pav back right away every cent of the money I borrow?" Some Schemer Clifford Chapin broke into a chuckle of amusement and admira tion. "High finance!" he exclaimed. "You're some schemer. Pa!" "This property's goin' to be valu able sometime when they run the railroad nearer than Midland." the farmer predicted. "That may not be for a while yet but it's sure to come. I might just as well get the good of the boom as anybodv else. I'm the one that's worked this land, •and stuck by it through all these Tfears. Darned little has Wade done for it. I thought when this Butler 1 came that Wade might have struck Does Not Worry Now "I was advised to try Tonall and this wonderful remedy now makes me feel elegant," said Mrs. Ida M. Boyd, Stewartstown, R. F, D. Xo. I, York County, Pa. "I had stomach trouble for a long time. It affected my nerves and my appetite was ruined. My nerves were unstrung and I was kept from sleeping. "Tonall completely renewed my entire system, strengthening my nerves and restored my appetite. And how I do sleep! Tonall is our family medicine." This above testimonial was given July 12. 1918. Tonall is on sale at Gorgas' Drug Store. Harrisburg, and Hershey's Drug Store, Hershey. IHave You Ever Thought How Much You Can Save By Having Your Glothes | Cleaned Well, it's worth thinking about.

Now is the time for me to buy—while he needs cash." "What about his sister?" Is she working?" Clifford queried. "She's not through college yet, Amos evaded. "So she's costing her brother something, and is an ex pense to him. 1 guess." Amos re plied. "I say," the soti started to ask a question. then evidently thought better of it. Instead, he yawned. "I'm going to bed. Pa. We'll talk this over you and me before I go back to Chicago. There's time enough before then." Elizabeth sat motionless after the men had gone into the house, and she had heard the doors of their re spective bedrooms close behind them. So this was the scheme! She un derstood it all now. She saw plain ly what Amos Chapin was about, and her blood boiled with indigna tion. Yet was it not natural that a man of his tvpe should look out for him sel? The farm the old home that she and Douglas loved Amos Chapin wished to buy. If Douglas was as poor as he had been for the past year, he might have to sell the old place to enable him and his sister to live. I'nless he was successful and he had not been successful this spring, he could not afford to hold the property. What could she. his sister, do In this crisis? Her Way to Help The only way in which she could help Douglas would be to carry out his scheme with regard to John But ler, so that the young man's cure would bring the physician other pa tients. Vet to wait for these might mean the loss of the farm. But it must not! The girl set her teeth grimly. Surely the invalid was improving with a rapidity that must surprise and delight his mother and advertise his success to all his ac quaintances. Suppose that. Douglas was really in love with Alice Butler! She was a rich girl. If he married her . Elizabeth Wade shook her head im patiently. She knew her brother too well to fancy that he would marry any women, no matter what her wealth unless he himself were making sufficient money to support both her and himself. Then unless he succeeded in his profession Douglas could not have the happiness of a wife and a home of his own for many years to come. He must succeed. The sister closed her eyes and pictured the future as she wished it might be. Butler would return to Riverhill completely and enthusiastic in his praises of the young physician whose regime had wrought his cure. His mother -would be elated. She would tell of DY. Wade's skill. The successful physi cian would immediately become more successful. His popularity would In crease. Wealthy patients would flock to him and money would flow into his pockets. He would marry Alice Butler if he loved her. And what about his sister? Eliza beth Wade opened her eyes with a start. She decided that she was too tired to-night to dwell on her own future. She would go to bed and to sleep and indulge no more just now in waking dreams.

B.—The four large industrial states, Pennsylvania, New York, Massachusetts and Illi nois, will have to pay three-fourths of the taxes levied in the new SB,- 000,000,000 war-revenue bill, accord ing to Representative J. Hampton Moore, of Philadelphia. "And we haven't enough votes to stop It," he remarked to-day. "The way the new revenue bill is being written," said Representative Moore, "the. four large Industrial states in the country, Pennsylvania. New York, Massachusetts and Illi nois, must pay three-fourths of the J8,000,000,000 in taxes that will be collected next year. "These four large states are pay ing about that same proportion un der the present law, but we hoped j that in writing the new bill the. Ways and Means Committee would roach out and find new sources of revenue for the billions of dollars of increased levenue that we need. 1 "The ntw bill is being written, however, with taxes on industries its basis, and the four large indus-1 trial states have not enough votes cn the Ways and Means Committee to.stop it."

Beery, A.8., MJL President of the Parents Association. No. 2 "Shall I Give Reasons to My Child f THE typical question. "Do you believe in giving reasons?" is answered of course, in the af firmative. You must discriminate, however, as to the proper time and circumstances for the giving of rea sons. Reasoning,with your child, con sidered from the standpoint of men tal development, when discipline is not involved. Is always to be en couraged, yet many children are bad ly spoiled by parents who are for ever giving reasons. "Is it natural for my little boy," asks one mother, "to want to know my reason for com mands? And will giving him reasons encourage the 'Why' habit?" There is a big difference between giving a reason while an act of obedi ence is pending and giving the rea son some time after the act of obedi ence, the latter being preferable as a regular policy. If you care to state a reason before the act, you should state it before issuing your command. For example, suggest in a confidential way that you are having a little trouble in hearing the Victrola and follow it Up with a simple command to play more quietly. Do not intro duce the latter by "so" or "there- Germans See Hope in American Army With the American Army on the| Aisne-Marne Front, Aug. 5. —Ger- man soldiers generally welcome the news that more American soldiers, are arriving in France, believing that the faster the Americans arrive the| sooner there will be a decisive &at-1 tie or a definite peace move, accord- j lng to a sergeant of the Fourth) Prussian Guards division, who was. captured by the Americans near Sergy. The prisoner told the correspond ent that the German soldiers were sick of the war, and also that the poorer classes In Germany had had sufficient war, and they believe now j that Germany is bound to lose. The capitalists, however, insist on con-j tinuing the war at all costs. "German officers," the prisoner said, "informed us months ago that the Americans were taking few pris oners and that those taken were treated inhumanly. They kept warn ing us constantly that death was preferable to being captured by th? Americans, but not all the German soldiers believed that, despite the - high regard in which officers are supposed to be held. "Among the German soldiers it 'as common talk that if any one of them had a good chance to be taken prisoner in the hands of the Ameri cans, he would do so, providing he Goo^complexions make lasting impressions Resinol Ointment tends to keep your skin clear, smooth and beautiful.

"A child has disobeyed and you ask why he did what you had forbidden and he an swers, 'Because I wanted to.' " "Because I wanted to," is a very natural and truthful answer to your question. The thing for you to do in the future is to avoid a similar question. To ask a young child why he disobeyed suggests that you are finding fault with him. and in most cases, the child will give a curt an swer. Another reason why it is advisible to avoid trying? to get a chili to es plain his ipast action is that it sug gests you do not understand him. It is very important from the stand point of results to assume that you understand a child perfectly. Exper ience ha taught that this assump tion is the practical one.

Brown & Go., N l2 ™^ 1 !, The Big I-piowis Home Furnishers August Furniture Sale In view of ll;e present general shortage in nearly all lines of manufactured goods, it was really a serious question for some time, whether or not we should this year, hold our usual August Furniture Sale; not for the reason that we do not have a good stock of goods in our store at the present time, as we fortunately have one of the best and largest stocks we ever had, but with the prospects in the very near future of being sub jected to a decreased production and further advances in prices in all our lines, it looked as though it would be the best judgment as well as probably conforming to Govern ment methods for us not to push for the regular August Furniture business as in for mer years. On the other hand we felt as though our customers' interests also deserved our best consideration along these same lines, thereby helping them to aid the Government by a profrer conservation of their own resources in a saving on their purchases. We did not want to disappoint them. Taking everything into serious consideration we finally de cided that it was only proper and right that our August Sale should be held as in former years. In a few words we say, Come Here This Month for Your Home Furnishings and expect to see a first class stock of goods, priced at'the most liberal reductions from our regular selling prices which cannot help but mean big savings over goods bought later in the fall season. Especially is this true when you realize that all goods coming in from now on must necessarily take higher prices than present regular prices. One more word, Buy as Early in the Month as Possible. Advice to the Lovelorn BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX DON'T SHIRK DEAR MIPS FAIRFAX: I have known a young man about two years, who used to call on me quite often, until one day he proposed to me, but I could not accept, as I was not in love with him. I have ex plained to him that we could be no more than friends, and have advised him not to call on me any more and to forget about me. He stopped for a while, but about a month ago told me that he cannot live without me, and insisted on calling at my home, although on several occasions I was out. as I did not care to meet him. It turned out to be a very serious matter, as he still keeps on calling up almost every day, comes to the house without invitations and irisists on seeing me. As he is a very fine young man. I simply cannot hurt his feelings, although I am afraid I will have to. I am afraid of the conse quences. if I tell him plainly that he cannot call and see me any more. I have just found out that he is about to take a room in the same house where we were stopping for the summer, and I have spent sleep less nights ever since that time. INTERESTED READER. Don't shirk your plain duty which is to be honest with the man who loves you—as you say—"in vain." Pos sibly your very anxiety about his feel ings. means that you really care for him. Search your own heart. If you are convinced that you want to get rid of him I assure you you will be able to do so. The point is that you are uncertain and he feels it. DON'T SPARE YOUR FEELINGS DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: I have known a girl for years. She nursed me when I was ill, looked out for my welfare in every way. But she could hardly ever give me any time for pleasure, as she worked nights and I worked by day. So I saw her only once a week. One day while at a friend's house I met another girl I had known about six years. I took her home that evening and asked her if I could see her some evening, as I was lonesome and she was lone some. too. Our meetings continued for one year, and the other girl found out and was upset about it and told me I had broken her heart. \Vell, 1 made an honest confession of it all, and she was willing to forgive and take me back, and she was patient and kind as ever. But. Miss Fairfax. 'AUGUST 5. 1918. I haven't given up number two. I haven't the heart to hurt her! WAITING. The person you are considering is yourself.
