Vul's empty bed glimmered back
at me in the soft glow of the Chin
ese lump that stood on the night
table next the bed.
The room was as empty as the
bed.
My heart began hammering again
with a recurrence of the terror I'd
felt down in the ravine when the
wrecked car crashed toward the
river. What had Evvy Mason done - .'
Where was Yal?
There is a little balcony overhang
ing the Mason Towers side of
Dreu mtyold. It runs along under
the windows of the blue room and
the two rooms beyond. In one dash
1 was at the big French windows
which give on this balcony, tiling
them wide and ran out. But Yal
was nowhere to be seen. Half
desperately my eyes travelled down
to the dark, densely-wooded slope
that leads to the river bank. Then
a sound within the room attracted
me.
I turned and stepped in through
the window. There was Yal lean
ing heavily against the door of the
big closet on the side of the room
between the windows and door and
just opposite tlie bed.
"Yal!" I cried, f was terribly
How Fat Actress
Was Made Slim
Many stage people now depend en
tirely upon Marmola Prescription
Tablets for reducing and controlling

by using this new form of ttie famous
Marmola Prescription and now. by
taking Marmola Tablets several times
a year, keeps her weight just right.
All druggists sell Marmola Prescrip
tion Tablets at sl. for a large case.
Or you can get them by sending

ACIDS IN STOMACH
CAUSE INDIGESTION
Create Gas. Sourness and Pain.
How To Treat.
Medical authorities state that
nearly nine-tenths ut the eases of
stomach trouble, indigestion. sour
ness, burning, gas bloating, nausea,
itc., are due to tin excess of hydro
chloric acid in the stomach and not
as some believe to a lack of diges
tive Juices. The delicate stomach
lining is irritate,., digestion is delay
ed land food sours, causing the dis
agreeable symptoms which every
stomach sufferer knows so well.
Artlhcla! digestents are not needed
in such cases and may do real harm.
Try laying aside all digestive aids
anil instead get from any druggist a
few ounces ot Bisurated Magnesia
and take a teaspoonful in a quarter
glass ol' water right after
eating. This sweetens the stom
ach. prevents the formation of
excess acid and there is no sourness,
gas or pain. Bisurated Magnesia (in
powder or tablet form —never liquid
or milk) is harmless to the stomach,
inexpensive to take and is the most
efficient form ot magnesia for stom
ach purposes. It is used by thous
ands of people who enjoy their meals
with no more fear of indigestion.

; | Did you ever meet a single soul
| who wouldn't ruther look at a
j pretty pink rosebud than at a
j withered old rose? And how
| many people do you know who nc
j tually prefer a dirty and ragged
I small boy whose face was washed
; some time within the week to a
| pretty baby, rosy and clean '.'" Or
! maybe you've met folks who prefer
1 gazing on a broken-down cab horse
i sleek, chestnut coat of a splendidly
! groomed thoroughbred—'that's ab
i surd, isn't it.
All right. We agree. And agree
| ing, we share the premises of our
argument.
Now. then, don't you know plenty
of folks who just naturally get an
' attack of envy whenever they see a
handsome man or a pretty girl?
i "He can't be any account," says
Clarence scornfully, of Edgar
i "He's too darn good-looking to
! amount to shucks.
Well, of course, the well-favored
human does get a little headstart
over the homely one because of our
aforesaid love of beauty and lie
may lean a little heavily on the
idea that handsome does as' hand
some is. But an idea is a weak
sister on which to do a lot of leun
ing. You have to bolster it up with]
a whole lot of good faith and per- ■
formance if you count on it to |
support you.
So, if Miss Beauty and Afr. Hand- |
some are that and nothing more, j
where .does it get them? And if]
they get nowhere in this world of j
ours, what possible reason is]
there for envying them?
But if the good-looking human j
has a soul to match and a brain
worthy of its setting, what jaun- j
diced creatures we must be to have j
malice and hate in our hearts for |
a being who brings real contribu- j
tions to life.
The other day I saw beauty—Just!
as beauty, and nothing more —just-
ify itself. I was lunching frugally |
(and unwisely) at a little white- j
tiled restaurant where the Danish |
buttercake is a thing to dream;
about. Next eat a pretty, rosy-1
faced girl, with marvellous big.
brown eyes and a madonna brow,
over which hair drooped softly from I'
a center parting.
We faced the big glass show win- .
dow, in which were temptingly ar- j
rayed pastries and buns and j
breads and cakes of the sort to i
make a fatmau shoot on sight any
doctor who says:
"Eliminate starch from your
diet."
And to that window full of cinna
mon cakes and blueberry tarts
came two ragged looking citizens
who stood gazing from pricelist to
window and back again with faces
telling all too well that even a quar
ters' worth of lunch was beyond (
them. Unshaven, ragged and bitter
of mouth and eye, they stood there
—inflammable material for the red
flames of anarchy to set ablaze.
Suddenly one of them looked
into the restaurant. His face was
working with hate and resentment. |
You could just see his mind ques-i
tioning the whole scheme of things
and his feelings lashing the fortu- |
nates who had the price of the j
meal he craved.
And then, his eyes faltered across:
the face, of the pretty girl. They
turned away. Returned. Eingercd.

Judging from the countless prep

continually being advertised for the

replacing ugly hollows and angles
by the soft curved lines of health and
beauty, there are evidently thousands
o! men and women who keenly feel
their excessive thinness.
thinness and weakness nre often
due to starved nerves. Our bodies
need more phosphate than is con
tained in modern foods. Physicians
claim there is nothing that will sup
ply this deficiency so well as the
organic phosphate known among
druggists as hitro-phospliate. which
Is inexpensive and is sold by most all
druggists under a guarantee of sat
isfaction or money back. By feeding
the nerves directly and by supplying
the body cells with the necessary
phosphoric food elements, bitro-phos

Increase in weight also carries with
It a general improvement in the
health. Nervousness, sleeplessness
and lack of energy, which nearly al
ways accompany excessive thinness,
should soon disappear, dull eyes
brighten and pale cheeks glow with
the bloom of perfect health.

Sealdsweet oranges and grape

The co-operating growers of Florida who produce
Liese delicious food-fruits are pledged to allow them
to remain on the trees until fully matured.
In the mellow sunshine the health-giving juice
stored and sealed in the superior Sealdsweet citrus
fruits becomes full-flavored, sweet and good, so they
need little if any sugar.
Sealdsweet oranges and grapefruit are thin-skinned,
and the tender pulp is filled with fruit-nectar, ex
tracted from sun and soil and rain and dew, by Na
ture's inimitable processes.
The Florida Citrus Exchange, an organization of
thousands of growers, sells Sealdsweet oranges and
grapefruit to wholesale fruit houses that in turn supply
ictail dealers. \our fruit dealer or grocer can fur
nish you Sealdsweet fruits and will do so if you insist.
This is the second in a series of eight ad
