" When a Girl Marries" By AX.\ I.ISLE A New, Romantic Serial Dealing With the Absorbing Problem of a Girl Wife CHAPTER CCCL.XVI. (Copyright, 1919, King Feature ' Syndicate. Inc.) For a minute Kvvy Mason stood facing Val triumphantly over Shel don Blake's dead body. Then her face went through a gamut—from triumph to bitterness and from bit terness to a- blank inscrutability as impenetrable as any expression 1 had ever seen Val's face wear. Then she lowered her eyes, shutting away from us the final look that I almost caught as it leaped from their depths. I had always thought Kvvy's eyes shallow, artificial. But they were too deep now for me to fathom as she turned from the fascinated help lessness of Val's eyes and faced me. "You mustn't set doctors or an ambulance—now." she said. "You must help me lift Shelly into my car. We'll have to get him to the top of the road somehow." • "You can't! I.et me help!" burst from Val. "You're hurt too bijdly," replied Kvvy. and her voice was so low that 1 couldn't tell whether it held hatred or patience. "Anne and 1 must do it. I'm going to take him home. Home to my own place. Then I'll get doctors, tt will be too late then. Rut it's too late now. It was too late from the first." A smothered groan burst from Val. "Be quiet." said Kvvy. But she did not speak the words rudely abruptly. "You must do what I tell you." she continued, turning to Val with a face blank of all the feeling that must have been surging through her to give her fragility so much power. Then she went on. explaining what she meant to do and what we must do. "I'll take Sheldon home and Anne must take you—for the visit she had asked you for." Even til en I noticed that Kvvy employed Val's formula of the "visit J hud asked Val for." not the visit she was coming to make. "Anne must take you to the Har rison place and then send for doc tors. You need . thein. You have more need of them than he," went on Kvvy. "You must wait here un til we have carried him up the bank to my car. First 1 will drive it off the road through that gap in woods a few yards back. No one will ; see us. It's only a little after eight now. No one is stirring yet. You ! must send to the hospital up the North ' road for doctors and nurses. Anne. I will telephone to the cross-roads inn and to town. It's all clear, now. isn't 1 it? You will do as I say?" "I'll do as you say." I repeated. > "And you?" demanded Evvy Val. refusing to call her by j name. I will do as you say." Val gasped. "But tell me what you are gojng to j do. What are you going to say? How will you explain? Anne had l asked me to pay her a visit. You j understand that, don't you? I was coming to spend the day with Anne, j That's why I was so early. I wanted ' a real day-—a long day." She whimpered uneasily as she: spoke. And Evvy and I turned with i one accord to the luggage rest on the j tank of the gray car. which lay on its side a few feet away, a crumpled mass of wreckage. Then our eyes ! met for a second, clashed and parted, j "I'll get my ear." said Evvy. The moment we were left-alone Val crept to my side—abject, pitiable, a battered wreck of her indolent, in- i solent self. "You had invited me to visit you." j sh began. 1 turned questioning eyes to her ' burning face. And then Valerie ' Cosby laughed throatily. "I can see what you're thinking." j she began, with a return to her old creacreaminess. "Well, think, then FIND OUT WHAT CAUSES YOUR RHEUMATISM Then You Will Be Able to Treat It Intelligently Ihe medical profession has riot yet fully determined all of the causes of rheumatism, though they are pretty well j agreed on two points. The first is that the disease is more than a mere local trou- j blc. that the pangs of pain | come from a source that is far below the surface, and there-, fore it is not reasonable to ex- j pect any rational relief from a i treatment that is locally ap-1 plied and reaches only the sur-1 fac?. When you realize the logic of this conclusion, you will see that you are really wasting your time and money if you are expecting any permanent relief front the use of liniments, lo tions, and other locally applied treatment, which can only reach the surface, and have 110 effect whatever upon the origin of your trouble. Any disease should be treat ed at its source, and especially one that causes as ntuch suffer ing as rheumatism. For what you want is not mere tempo rary relief from the torturing pangs of pain, which will promptly return with renewed severity. The only treatment worth while is one that will show some progress toward getting at the source of the disease, and freeing the victim from its shackles. The other point that the med ical profession has agreed upon, \VEDNhSDAN EVENING, HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH • DECEMBER 3, 1919. . —l'll never explain nor retract. Some ! famous writer said one shouldn't — j nor deny. Just let 'em howl and get things done, was what he advised." ! Then words burst from me as 1 found my eyes going to the still form | that was what remained of Sheldon ' Blake. , "Isiok what you've done!" I cried. Val staggered back and leaned against her slim birch again. And j with brooding, downcast eyes she , stood at Sheldon's head until Evvy ! burst on us from a little opening on ' the bank. "The car's quite near. 1 drove it iin and turned it again. Come Anne— • we must do what we have to do." said I ' Evvy. * Somehow, then —lifting and pulling and heaving horribly—we got Shel . don to the car anil propped him ! there. Once Val started forward to help j us. hut Evvy called out to her j sternly, and she sank back' against j j the tree again, half standing, half ' falling against it. | When we had finished the grim i business of placing the body in Evvy's I car she turned to me gently. "Take her home with you." she I said. "Perhaps she isn't worth much I I hut she's alive, and that means she's I worth saving. "You mean her life is worth saving." j I asked. "I mean—what you do." said < Evvy. "Now go to her. I'll drive out . ! better if you don't stand watching 1 i me. Rood-by, Anne." There was a finality about • Evvy I which sent me back to. Val. I found I her lying on the ground in the utter ! j collapse of a heavy faint. Only after; i I had brought water from the river and ! dashed it on her poor, bruised face. | did she rouse herself. | "Don't touch my wrist or arm !" she cried; "they're torturing me. The ! | burns were a glorious pain. But now—this." "I'll get .Tim to help us." I said. "Not that. I couldn't bear that." j 1 moaned Val. "And. besides, to walk | is my punishment. She said for me to j walk. We have to do as she says, i We have to—until we know what t she means to do. Oh. Anne—what ! do you think she plans to do? I never; thought he was anything to her. But i now—but now. she acts as if he were—i oh. I must pet to your house! Help me. Anne, and tell me what she means to do about a tragedy I couldn't help. • • • T'm sure its no crime to accept an invitation just i because you've once refused it." "Don't. Val." I said. "Don't. We're alone now. Come —I'll help you to the house." tTo Be Continued."! Style Secret in New Silhouette Promised American Women Atlantic City, X. J., Dec. 3. — ; America's style creative ability will • reach its highest point in history ; with the advent of the spring 1920 ! ' season, according to a statement is sued by David X. Mosessohn, exe cutive director of the associated | Dress Industries of America which ; is in annual convention here. "The dress manufacturers of the | United States," said Mr. Mosessohn. ; "have a new silhotiette promised for the American women." He declined :to reveal the style secret other than to declare that the new modes will i not follow too closely the styles I which have captivated French j women. j "There will be plenty of material' fin the new dress. That is all I can | divulge at this time." he said. I The convention is being attended | |by manufacturers of dresses from I all parts of the United States. is that.some forms of rheuma tism are caused by a tiny dis ease germ in the blood, which multiplies by the million, and until these germs are routed from the blood, you can see how futile local treatment will be. In lact. you can rub with lini ments and use lotipns bv the gallon and never hope to reach the cause of your trouble. So many people have found real permanent relief from their rheumatism by the use of S. S. S. that its use is justified in practically every case. Cer tainly if your rheumatism is due to a germ in the blood, a so many thousands of cases are, you should lose no time in be ginning the use of S. S. S., be cause you can rely upon this fine old blood remedy to do you more good than any other treat ment. S. S. S. is beneficial in rheu matism because it is such a thorough blood medicine. It cleanses the blood of all impuri-* ties, and eradicates the germs which cause rheumatism. .The wonderful results it has accom plished in other cases is proof of its great merit. S. S. S. has been on the market for more than fifty years and is sold by all druggists.

Increasing hospital facilities and available beds for advanced ' tubercular patient^. Encouraging research work on housing questions, industrial san itation and other questions re lated to prevention of tubercu losis. Enlisting all children of pub lic. private and parochial schools in Modern Health Crusade move ment. Co-operation with all health, ! tocial service and relief agencies so that anti-tuberculosis work in | the community can be carried on with best results . With the decision of the National ' Anti-Tuberculosis Society that tu- j berculosis must be "the next to go," J extensive plans have been made by the Anti-Tuberculosis Society of 1 Dauphin County for next year. The work of the Dauphin county society is carried on with the funds derived each year from the sale of Red Cross Christmas Seals. This year the seal sale campaign will begin next Monday. Thousands of school children in the city, county j and West Shore districts will be ' selling thtese little "health seals" 1 and each one sold means that the purchaser has joined in the crusade to improve public health and stamp out tuberculosis. During the war about 9.000 men from Pennsylvania were refused for army service because they were suf fering from tuberculosis. Some of > them had the disease in its advanc ed stage and could not recover. Others did not know they had it un til the physicians on the selective service boards told them and ad- : vised them to begin preventative j measures. In Pennsylvania each year 10.060 j people die front tuberculosis and 75,000 to 100,000 persons are suf- i fering from it. At least 50,000 of these have no medical attention. It 1 is to tight this serious menace, the White Plague, that'the Anti-Tuber-; culosis Society is working and the j success of the Red Cross Seal cam paign will mean much toward wip ing out the disease in the various communities of this county. The Christmas Seal is sold to raise funds for the anti-tuberculosis work. The double-barred flaming i cross is the symbol of the forces fighting the disease which reaps a toll which totals approximately one tenth of all deaths in the country.

Outlines Program For Big Year's Work h— lj PLANK ONE—MUNICIPAL IMPROVEMENTS (A) HOUSING. Foster some definite plan which will give the urr housed of the city suitable homes at prices within their reach. The need ! of houses has been made so apparent through the efforts of the Housing > Committee that further discussion would only aggravate those who are without homes and accomplish nothing. The officers and Housing Committee of the Chamber have beer.- inves tigating the conditions with a view to interesting builders anfl others in | the solution of the problem. Recently there'has been a distinct revival because intelligent builders realize after full investigation that the expenses of building will not be materially reduced for years to come. The desirability of a housing corporation financed with the idea of community advancement rather than material gains as its motive Willi be discussed and the action of the Chamber of Commerce decided upon j (B) CITY iiND COUNTY BUILDING. With the desirability of the 'erection of such a building already decided upon and the necessary legis lation- already enacted, a Chamber of Commerce committee lias been i appointed tq ponsider the project from all angles and make a report for future action. It is felt that sentiment in favor of the building is more or less crys- ! tallizing and the final move may be made before the end of the year. I I This should involve hearty co-operation on the part of the Chamber of! t Commerce and all other civic bodies so that the joint commissions of Hie city and county may feel the impulse of community backing (C) CONTAGIOUS DISEASE HOSPITAL, secure the appointment 1 of a special committee to further consider this matter, which was greatly I expedited last year by the appointment of a committee, which through co-operation with the State Health Department, drew up plans and speci fications for the proposed building. All necessary information seems to have been secured and nothing' appears to stand ir.- the way of definite action on the project. (D) CITY ARMORY. Co-operate with the State authorities in bringing about the construction of an armory to house the two com pa- i nies ot' infantry, one of cavalry, a machine gun, supply and two head quarters companies, with possibly a battery of field artillery, which, with S the i eorgraniziition ot the National Guard, will be located in Harrisburg. Adjutant General Frank D. Beary lias set at rest the runtor that the ' State has in contemplation the erection of such an armory in the Capitol i Park extension area, and it is plain that the city itself must become active in the project to assure its success. The armory would serve a c'vic as well as military purpose in providing a convention hall, which would also be a drill hall. v fE) AVIATION FIELD. Co-operate with the special committee appointed by Mayor Keister to provide a landing field for Harrisburg. Wil liam Jennings is chairman of this special committee.
