"When a Girl Marries"
B/ ANN LISLK
A New, Romantic Serial Dealing With the Absorbing
Problems of a Girl Wife
CHATTER CCXIX
"Dick West is a cad!" I said dis
gurstedly to Phoebe. "First he gets
you fathoms deep into his debt.
Then he asks you to marry him and
makes ugly insinuations about what
people will say of your owing him
money if you don't. That's absurd,
so don't let it worry you. And when
lie goes drag \ irginia
in, I think he's a regular black
mailer.". . .
"Then y<su don't think he could
make me out a dreadful sort of girl
that every one would turn away
from?" cried Phoebe.
Her tension relaxed, and I could
see the beginnings of relief coming
to her terrified young face.
"Of course not, child," I replied
in a matter-of-fact tone. "I think
you ought to be spanked for gam
bling and stood in the corner for
ever thinking Dick West was to be
trusted. But you've been foolish
and reckless, not criminal. So now
wipe that desperate look from your
face while I think our way out."
Phoebe smiled wistfully through
a tiny veil of tears. I thanked her
guardian angel that she was still a
child at heart and didn't see the
ugly possibilities of her story. If
Dick West wanted to force her to
marrv in order to avoid gossip, he
would still have the whip-hand
when she had paid ofT her debt.
Paying the debt wouldn't change
the fact that she'd once owed him
monev. If he were cad enough to
talk, he'd still have the story of her
gambling and borrowing to tell, even
when the money was paid. It had
to be paid—and at once. Still I
didn't see how that would get her
out. of his power.
I could feel Phoebe's eyes fixed
trustingly and hopefully on mine, as
I rat reviewing the whole sorry bus
iness. I made a vow that her name
shouldn't be smirched if I could help
it, and that she should even be

NERVES EDR RUN DOWN PEOPLE
The World Demands, Strong, Vigorous,
Keen-Minded, Men and Women
It has been said of Americans that they work their habits over
time.
Many become nervous and inefficient by overwork.
® J j^ orry ' despondency, social affairs, robbing brain and body
tor needed rest; excessive use of tobacco, indulgence in strong alco
hone drink excesses of every kind thnt burn up the vit3l powers
so necessary in these trying times to make both men and women
lit to be of help to themselves and others.
It is time to be temperate in all things. The man or woman
with impaired nerves caused by impoverished blood lacks vigor
the ambition, the endurance and the keen mind of those who avoid'
excesses,
„ J ,T ltf> l' lne ir' des P° n fear, trembling hands, want of confidence and
even cowardliness, are due m a large measure t? abused nerves.
People with plenty of red blood eorpneele* and strong, healthy nerve* have
no deeire to shirk work and lean on others for guidance and suppoß.
There is hardly a nerve-shattered man or woman (unless of an organic
disease) in America today who cannot become alert anil clear in mind; vigorous
end energetic in body in a very few weeks and at trifling cost.
To become strong and ambitious, to feel that work is not drudgery; to
her# steady nerves, abundance of red blood and power of endurance; to bo not
only a man but as men now go, a superman, you must take seven tablets of
Bio-feren every day for seven dayi—and take them faithfully.
Take two after each meal and one at bedtime and after seven days take
one only after meal unUl the supply is exhausted.
Then If you feel that any claim made In this special notice is untrue—lf
your nerves arc not twice as steady as before; if you do not feel ambitious,
more vigorous and keen-mlndcd, the pharmacist who dispensed the tablets to

"Here's your fruit lemonade.

didn't admit of defeat. "Then we'll

Phoebe raised her glass obediently
to her lips, drank a dutiful swallow
or two and put the glass down de
spairingly.
"I can't, Anne. Don't make me.
It's what Neal and I always ordered.
I never touch it any more," she
stammered shyly.
"And once you thought you could
marry Dick West.," I ventured.
Phoebe's face crimsoned.

He would ever forgive me for—for
the way I treated him that time he
came back, and for this terrible
scrape I've got into?" she asked
breathlessly.
"Bless you heart, dear! You just
say you're sorry, and he'll forget
everything," I declared happily fore
seeing the good that might come
out of all this evil. "Now it's all
settled. You give Mr. West my check
and tell him very frankly that you
can't possibly marry him because
you don't love him and wouldn't do
him the injustice of marrying him
without love. I'll go to Jim to-night
with the whole story, and he'll get

"Oh, no—not Jim!" Phoebe cried.
"T couldn't bear to have my own

"Jim, of course," I replied smiling
away her objections. "He won't

saved from a big, raw deal some
day. You'll see."
"Oh, Anne, you make me believe
I'm going to be happy again and
not frightened and miserable all the
time," murmured Phoebe, giving a
little skip as she rose to leave the
dining room. He's coming to-night
—Dick West is, and I'll do just what
you've said."
"You might try to stay friendly
with him. No use having enemies,"
1 warned, praying that even a scoun
drel like Dick West would let Phoebe
oft without opening her eyes.
Then I went to the writing room,
gave Phoebe the check that wiped
out my bank account and hurried
home. I longed to go to Jim with
the whole story, and to enlist his
help. I must confess I had a mo
ment of selfish joy in planning how
close Jim and 1 would come through
his little sister's trouble. I felt a
great longing to find Jim again,
and it seemed that Phoebe was
showing us the way. This very even
ing Jim and I would work out her
salvation together, and our perhaps,
too. I said a little prayer to myself
as I rode up in the elevator a
prayer for Phoebe and for me.
When I got to the door of my
apartment there stood Evvy Mason,
her finger pressed to the pearl disk
of the electric bell.
"I've just been calling on your
charming neighbor, Mrs. Cosby,"
she explained. "And I'm running in
to invite you and Jim to join us at
a little party I'm giving at our
country place this week-end. I want
to have the Cosbys meet some of
our neighbors. Jim will like that,
won't he?" #
"We can't come. Not possibly," I
declared as I led Ewy into the liv
ing room.
My one objection was to have her
visit conclude before Jim came
home. I didn't want Ewy intrud
ing on our meeting. But I soon per
ceived that Evvy's object was to re
main until Jim came. She insisted
on being shown over the apartment
and lingered with no seeming
thought of time until Jim marched
in on us.
"Is it dreadfully late?" she cried
in seeming confusion. "Oh, Jimmie,
dear —what a lovely nest you've
built for Anne! It makes me want
—a little place of my own."
"Nice child!" replied Jim expand
ing under her gaze of wide-eyed ad
miration. "You stay here and share
the nest now. We'll have a cozy
little dinner and then call in Shelly
or Tom for a game of bridge."
"How adorable. But I wouldn't
think of intruding on you and
Anne," returned Ewy putting it up
to me, and leaving me helpless to
rescue the evening I had wanted for
Phoebe—and me.
"Of course you must stay," I said.
"I haven't a nest like this," said
Evvy huskily, looking up at Jim.
"But I've the old homestead. You
won't refuse to come out for the
week-end, will you, Jimmie? Anne
thought you had made other ar
rangements."
"I'd come—for you even if T had
to cancel a dozen bookings," replied
Jim gallantly. "Anne's mistaken,
though, we've nothing else on."
"We'll be a nice party," said Ewy
complacently. "Everyone and her
best beau. But I really must run
along now. I'll have a bit of ar
ranging to do, and I'll leave the two
love-birds alone in tne nest. Not a
word, you nice, cordial people."
As he closed the door after Evvy
Jim turned to me with the almost
habitual scowl between his brows.
And in a sudden panic I sensed that
Evvy and her party bode no good
for Phoebe—or for me.

Calls Extra Session
of N. Y. Legislature
to Act on Suffrage
By Associated Press.
Albany, N. Y., June 11.—An ex

Legislature for Monday night, June

in a proclamation issued yesterday.
The purpose is to act upon ratifica

Use Cocoanut Oil
For Washing Hair
If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle,
and is very harmful. Mulsified
| cocoanut oil shampoo (which is pure
] and entirely greaseless) is much bet-
I ter than anything else you can use
for shampooing, as this can't possi-
I bly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two
teaspoonfuls will make an abun
| dance of rich, creamy lather, and
[ cleanses the hair and scalp thor
oughly. The lather rinses out eas-
I ily, and removes every particle of
| dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive
I oil. The hair dries quickly and
; evenly, and it leaves it fine and silky,
' bright, fluffy and easy to manage.
You can get Mulsified cocoanut oil
| shampoo at most any drug store. It
'is very cheap, and a few ounces is j
enough, to'. last everyone in the fam-i
ily for months. . . j

PROPOSES PUBLIC
OWN RAILROADS
Resolution Is Presented Be
fore American Federa
tion of Labor
. Atlantic City, N. J—A proposal that
organized labor insist upon public
ownership of the railroads of the \
country is before delegates attend
ing the reconstruction convention of ;
the American Federation of Labor by
Glenn E. Plumb, counsel for the rail-i 1
road brotherhoods.
The speaker's statement that the I
ownership of the systems shuld be |
acquired immediately was greeted I
with prolonged applause. The cheer-|
ing was renewed when Mr. Plumb
said that with the government substi-'
tuting government bonds for out-1
standing securities, the railroads
would be "removed from the dictator
ship of Wall street."
Government ownership of the rail
transportation systems, said the
speaker, would mean an annual sav
ing in interest costs of from four to
six hundred million dollars and prob
; ably would permit a reduction of 10
i Per cent, in current transportation
I rates. The plan as detailed by Mr.
] Plumb, proposes the operation of the
(roads by a single corporation regulat
led by and accountable to the govern-
I ment for all its acts and expendi
tures. "Such a corporation," said the
spokesman for the brotherhoods,
"would require no capital.
"It would be authorized to take and
hold and operate these properties un
der the full regulatory power of the
Government. The stock of this cor
poration should be held in trust for
the benefit of the employes. The
earnings should constitute a trust
fund to be declared as a dividend up
on the amounts paid to the labor
which it employs, every employe, re
ceiving that proportion of this trust
fund which his annual wage bore to
the total annual compensation of all
employes."
The so-called Plumb plan already
has been presented to the Executive
Council of the Federation. The Coun
cil, in its report now before the con
ference, recommends that the conven
tion endorse Government ownership
of the railroads.

RAILWAY UNION
SUED FOR STRIKE
Asked to Pay $2,035,000.78 in
Action by the People
of Pittsburgh
Plttsbnrprh, June IX.—The people of
Pittsburgh, through A. E. Anderson,
an attorney, filed a suit in equity in
court here late yesterday against the
Amalgamated Association of Street
and Electric Hallway Employes, in
which the union is asked to pay dam
ages of *2,035.000.78. which sum, it is
claimed, was lost by the people as a
result of the recent street car strike.
The suit raises the question of the
right of persons engaged in public
service to strike to enforce demands
for better pay and improved working
conditions. Receivers of the Pitts
burgh Railways Company are named
as party defendants.
The actions of the strikers were and
are unlawful, it is alleged, and in
fringed and invaded the rights of
trade, business and travel, which was
in violation of the constitutions of
the United States and the State of
Pennsylvania, and a conspiracy and a
combination in restraint of trade.

Advice to the Lovelorn
Parents May Invite Him
Dear Miss Fairfax:
A young man but a year older than
I has been calling on me for two
months. Since the distance from his
home is 75 miles he sees me only
once a week, usually Saturday even
ing. Would it be proper for me to
ask him to stay at my house all
night, or is it up to him to ask me
if he may stay.
Undecided Young Girl
It will be proper for your parents,
if they are pleased with him, to ex
tend an invitation to him to remain
all night and over Sunday anytime
he wishes to do so. He could haijdly
ask to be your guest even if he
knows you care for him.
Rotter Stay in School
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am a girl 16 years old, who feels
sure her future is to be an actress
and of course my parents object. I
know I'll not have a good time in
my life if I don't go on the stage.
I go to school and am rather pretty
and show lots of talent. Tell me how
to become acquainted with some
actress please, or where to write for
information on going on the stage.
ITALIAN ROSE.
A girl of siteen, unless she shows
most unusual talent for the stage,
had better keep on with her lessons
and the stage fever will wear off as
other interests come into her life.
Your parents will probably know
what you are suited for better than
I can tell you. The mail of actresses
is so large that one cannot hope for
a personal reply to any letter and
their secretaries have little patience
with the hundreds of young girls
who are stage struck.

Stomach Troubles
Are Due to Acidity
Tells Safe, Certain, Speedy
Relief For Acid Indigestion.
So-called stomach troubles. suchj
as indigestion, gas, sourness, stom-<
uch-ache and inability to retain food
are in probably nine cases out or ten,,
simply evidence that excessive se-;
cretion of acid is taking place lnj
the stomach causing tormation of!
gas and acid indigestion.
Gas distends the stomach and)
causes that lull, oppressive, burning
teeling sometimes known as heart
burn, while the acid irritates and
inflames the delicate lining of the
stomach. The trouble lies entirely
in the excess development or eecre--
tion of acid.
To stop or prevent this souring oi,
the food contents of the stomach,
and to neutralize the acid, and make,
it bland and harmless, a teaspoon
ful of bisurated magnesia, a good
und elfective corrector of acid stom
ach should be taken in a quarter of
a glass of hot or cold water after
eating or whenever gas. sourness or
acidity is felt. This sweetens the
stomach and neutralizes the acidity
in a few moments and Is a perfectly
harmless and inexpensive remedy to
use.
An antiacid. such as bisurated.
magnesia which can be obtained
from any druggist in either powder
or tablet form enables the stomach
to do its work properly without the
aid of artiticial digestents. Mag
nesia comes in several forms, so ba
certain to ask for and take only Bis
urated Magnesia, which is especial
ly prepared for the above purpose,.,
Geo. A. Gorgas.
