It was small, containing a table j and two chairs. On the table were j several agricultural manuals, some ; old almanacs and some small farm- : ing Implements—in need of repairs. It was evident that this place was a j S'>rt of catch-all for some of Amos j own special possessions. At one end of tho table lay a pistol Amos picked it up as if to put out j of sight, but realizing that his compan ion had seen it. explained its pres- ! cnce. "I took this In my pocket when I went down to discharge the Pole." he said sullenly. Then, as if aware that he was admitting his own cow- j ardiee. "You never can tell what those foreigners will do when they get mad—especially when thev have j a little drink in them." "One's lists are usually strong enough to protect one," John return- ! ed tersely. "Firearms are not always safe things to have around." He was thinking of how this man had shot tho Pole's dog. There was a suggestion of disapproval in his ; manner, and the farmer spoke quick ly to defend his stand. "There was no danger of my hurt- i ine l.is fillow. I left the first chani- j ber of the pistol empty anyway. So | if he had been abusive and I pointed 1 it at him. it would have scared him and done no harm. Hard drinkers ; are always cowards." "Cowardice is not limited to drink ers." Butler asserted. "You said you wished to speak to me, I believe" . What about?" "You seem in a hurry," the farmer 1 sneered. "I am. Butler replied.

John Butler's voice rang out so clearly that it reached the 1 ears of Elizabeth in the room up stairs. Appreciating how loudly he ! had spoken, he lowered his tone and stepped closer to the older man. "We may as well have an understanding. Mr. Chapin. But. flrst of all. I wish ; you to leave the name of that young ! lady out of the discussion." i "You do. eh!" mocked Chapin. I "Well, if I haven't got a right to mention one of my relatives and to say what she shall and what she shan't do—it's a pity." She is not a relative of yours." John began, but Chapin interrupted him. • ! "What's the use of splitting hairs? i —one of my wife's relatives, then. ; If you knew what I know" It was John's turn to interrupt. "If you knew what I know you would keep your tongue between your j teeth!" he exclaimed. "I know that she is not your wife's cousin. I know also that she is Dr. Wade's sister." Chapin gasped. "So thats it. is It?" You knew all the time! It was a put-up job to spy on me!" "Take care!" Butler warned. "Do ' not say anything you'll be sorry for. j If you do. you'll have not only me to reckon with, but Miss Wade's brother as well.'* "I guess Douglas Wade i-,d l can ! fight our battles out alone." the farmer reported.

Beery, A.8., M.A. \. . j/ President of the Parents Association. tCopyright, lßlgjJby the Parents Association, inc.) Xo. 31. Do Your Children Secfetly Practice Forbidden Things? IT is bad for children to do for bidden things in your presence. But if anything: it is worse when , they practice them secretly. "My six-fear-old boy lights | matches," writes one mother. "Has I regular mania for it. He lights them ; when 1 am not near because he j knows I would not allow him to. j Twice he set curtains on tire and 1 j fear some time he might cause the ! house to burn. I have tried burning I his fingers slightly and punishing , him in other ways. Is hiding the I matches the only solution?" No. hiding matches is not the only ' way to deal with your problem. I neither is it the best way or even a good way. Burning the child's fing ! ers slightly might possibly serve as I a cure if the habit were that of try ! ing to burn some, member of the ' family, and provided also that this ! punishment were to follow imnie | diately each offense, but in your | case, this method is not advisable. Your boy should have an abund ' ance of physical and mental occupa i tion of a wholesome nature to keep l his mind off of mischievous things. I But this alone will not be sufficient He needs to be dealt with directly on the point of playing with matches. Give hint a little lesson. Place a few articles, such as clothing or pa pers. on the linoleum in the kitphen. Also have at hand a small candle. ■Then call the child into the kitchen, saying Harold, come here —1 want you to light a candle for me." When ■ he enters the door, you should sit down on a chair in the center of the . kitchen. Have him come to your i knee. Then say, 'jGet the pretty ! little red candle over there on the table and bring it to me. That s it. Now I have a match here in my hand. 1 shall want you tf> light this little candle in jus; a minute. Be fore we light a match, we must have everything out of the way, so that nothing can catch tire. Pick up this coat lying here and hang it on the < chair way over there. Now take those papers clear away, too. \ou know when we light a match we must-have everything out of the way ,-o that nothing can catch fire. Now we are ready. Take this match, and light the candle." If the child does anything wrong about lighting the candle, do not find fault. Simply say. "Now wait. 1 will show you how to do that— see—just like'this—now you try it." Blow out the candle two or three times and let the child light it again by giving him more matches, one j.t a time. Pour or He matches would not be too manv for this first Personal and Social Items of Towns on West Shore P. W. Geib and E. R. Wagner, of Marysville. motored to New Bloom field yesterday.

Funeral services will be held to-morrow afternoon from the undertaking parlors of C. F. Hoover. Burial will be made in the Bethlehem . 1 Cesittery. lesson. Before he lights the last oate, | let him know beforehand that is | going to be the last. Say, "All right, ! we'll light it just once more now and that will be all for this time. This will be the last." After he has lit the candle and it has burned for a minute or so. blow it out, rise from your chair and as sume that the play is over. Say, "Wasn't that fun? We shall have to play that game again some time. Maybe we can do it to-morrow. I will let you light the candle aguin then; you must not light any matches without asking mother and she will tell you whether you may or not. Won't we have fun to-mor row when we light our litle candle again?" Now, If he should come to you to ask you if he can light a match before to-morrow, I advise that you indulge him this first time even though it is not altogether conveni ent, because the fact that he asks you will prove that you have gain ed a point with hint. Y'ou should reward him for this, thus encourag ing him to ask you in the future. If . you were to turn him down the first ( few times he asks you. he might re | turn to lighting matches in secret. Hang your match box wherever it | is convenient for your own use. Com- I mar.d him occasionally lo put a ; match back in the box for you or get i one out. Also, call him now and ; then to strike a match for you when you need one. With this kind of management, he probably will stop lighting matches in secret, alto i gether.

Meat forms uric acid which overworks the kid neys in their effort to filter it from I the blood .and they become sort of ; paralyzed and loggy. When your : kidneys get sluggish and clog you ! must relieve them, like you relieve your bowels; removing all the body's urinous waste, else you have back -1 ache, sick headache, dizzy spells; (your stomach sours, tongue is coat led, and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of sediment, channels often get sore, water scalds and you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night. Either consult a good, reliable ' physician at once or get front your j pharmacist about four ounces of Jad I Salts; tak a tablespoonful in a gluss of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act ! fine. This famous sales is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been , used for generations to clean and i stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize acids in the urine so It no longer irritates, thus ending bladder "jad 1 Saies is a life saver for regu j lar meat eaters.
