IS A HEALTHIER STRONGER GIRL Because She Took Lydia E. Pink- ham’s Vegetable Compound The fertile valleys of Oregon help to supply the tables of America. This is Sr § possible through the magic of the hum- ble tin can. In one of the can. ning establish. ments, Julia Schmidt was em- i ployed. It was com- plicated work be- cause she did seal- ing and other parts of the work. It was strenuous work and she was not a strong girl. Often she forced herself to work when she was hardly able to sit at her machine, At times she would have to stay at home for she was so weak she could hardly walk. For five years she was in this weakened condition. She tried various medicines. At last, a friend of hers spoke of Lydia E. Pinkbam's Vegetable Compound and she gave it a trial. “Everyone says I am a healthier and stronger girl,” she writes. “I am rec- ommending the Vegetable Compound to all my friends who tell me how they suffer and I am willing to answer let- ters from women asking about it.” Julia Schmidt's address is 113 Willow St., Silverton, Oregon. Girls who work in factories know just how Miss Schmidt felt. Perhaps they, too, will find better health by taking the Vegetable Compound. Ends pain at once/ In one minute pain from corns is ended.

The Presbyterian board of foregn mis- sions reports that evangelistic work in West Africa is becoming increas- ingly difficult. In the old days the boys and girls stayed at home and obeyed the tribal laws. Now they go chasing off to other tribes while still in their 'teens, and the dusky elders do not know how to handle them. Apparently this “revolt of youth” is going on in the jungle as well as in the United States.—Capper’s Weekly. Has Few Advantages He—1I'm poor, but poverty is no dis- grace.

Kissing Custom That Flourished Long Ago In the Middle ages the “kiss of peace” became an ordinary church ceremony, and was practiced promis- cuously by the congregations, espe- cially after special services such as baptisms, weddings and confirmations, each worshiper giving a kiss to those { It became the custom | around him, for a girl's sweetheart to accompany her to church and count the number of people she kissed, that he might afterward take all the unpleasant kisses from her. The kiss of peace is said to have received a death blow when a pagan noble objected to hav- ing his Christian wife kissed by all the men in church, and raised such a rumpus that the church stopped the practice. After that, whoever kissed a girl against her will was severely chas- tised by law, In Naples, a man who kissed a girl who did not want to be kissed was punished by not being al- lowed to come within 30 miles of the spot where the kiss had been stolen. French law made it a sin for a mar- ried woman to kiss even her masculine cousins, Clean by Electricity The uses of electric cleaners are many, especially those which can be reversed to blow as well as inhale. One was rushed into a coal mine at Bicknell, Ind., in 1923 to pump air to miners imprisoned by rock falls after an explosion. A householder used one last winter to blow warm air down between his house walls to thaw out a frozen water pipe, An- other effectually defeated beetles whose larvae, previously uncapturable, damaged the rafters of an English castle. An American farmer uses one regularly each summer to separate leaves from berries that have been picked and spread out on a sheet.

Beveridge, states- man and author, hated rather, he hated the offenders who make divorce necessary. Once, at a dinner in Indianapolis, the guests discussed with pity the case of a very admirable woman, the mother of seven young children, who found herself obliged to divorce her husband. There were obstacles, finan- cial and other, in the way, and Mr. Beveridge said: jivorce or,’ “A divorce like this is too bad, too | impossibly difficult.

THE PATTON COURIER The Recluse of Fifth Avenue STORY FROM THE START From the comfortable financial situation to which he had been born, Peter Milman, is practical- ly reduced to penury through the misfortune of a friend unwisely trusted. Learning of Brewer's sui- cide, which means the destruc- tion of his last hope, Milman sends letters to Prof. Fleming Bradney, Floyd Malet and Nee- land Barnes, men once of high position, In response, the three call on him at his home.

Himsel? im- poverished threcugh Raxon's fi- nancial crookedness, Milman proposes an association of the four men-—an association outside the law—which shall pull down Raxon and force him to disgorge hisill-gotten financial gains.

CHAPTER VI—Continued wi Raxon smiled. “I want Intelligent loyalty, and you're not overburdened with intelligence any more than Caf- fray was. I'm not underestimating you. You've been useful to me in a number of ways.” “Thank you,” sald Loddon, almost bitterly. He thought of certain un- professional things he had done at his patron's bidding which had, in effect, delivered him bound hand and foot to Raxon. That Raxon aspired to a United States senatorship seemed a laudable enough ambition. But that he had a chance seemed, on reflection, almost absurd. And yet Raxon was not the kind of man to delude himself. Lod- don voiced his doubts. “McKimber is the party's nominee,” he observed. “Of course, he'll carry New York city, and they say he'll get more votes up-state than any possible candidate,” “The party will get the votes, not the man,” said Raxon. “But McKimber’s the party’s choice,” Loddon persisted. “It looks that way, doesn’t it?” Raxon smiled. “MecKimber’'s very popular.” “You're keeping something back,” said Loddon. “I always do. That’s why I get on. That's why I'm going to the senate.” His hands clasped behind him, Paul Raxon stood at a window and looked over the sound. Loddon talked, but he did not listen. Raxon saw himself in a few years as the greatest money power in America. All his future was carefully planned. He was now en- gaged in mapping out a present.

Fortunately, all of them were attractive physically. He was interrupted by Mrs. Raxon. She was a handsome, dark woman who had only just discovered that while she had been living abroad her husband had become enormously She had the sense of a per- sonal grievance against him highly de- veloped. He could see she was pre- pared for battle. “lI want a suitable allowance for myself and the children,” she began. “I want a banking account and my own limousine and chauffeur.” She had thrown down the gage and waited, a little frightened, for what was com- ing. Paul had always seemed incom- prehensible. She did not understand him now. When he smiled it might be, she supposed, the prelude to some biting sarcasm. “Certainly,” he said. “A very good idea. Fortunately, Loddon is here, Talk it over with him. I am very willing that you should take your place in society. I only ask that you will be careful with what people you fill my house. I'm after big game, and if I rise you'll go up with me. Talk it over with Herman.” He smiled and walked slowly from the room. And while Marie Raxon was passing an enthralling hour discovering her many needs, and her husband was wondering how best to start to beau- tify Bellington’s enormous building, some men in Lower Fifth avenue were discussing his ruin. Malet had returned from Philadel- phia, where he had thrown up his position. Already another laboratory assistant had taken Bradney’'s place, fThe two had yielded to Peter Mil- man's importunities and agreed to re- main as his guests. Neeland Barnes had not yet come back from Peeksktll. He had gone with the avowetl inten- tion of paying Lippsky something off his account and hurrying back with some clothes. So that he might escape the ridi- cule attending a man who reaches his suburban home in full evening dress at midday, Barnes arranged to come to his distasteful abode when it was dusk. He wanted to remove his entire wardropve from the Lippsky shack and pay as little of the deferred rent as possible, In Lippsky’s front yard, which com- manded a view of his tenant’s en- trances and exits, the aggrieved land- lord was trying to bring to maturity depressed looking vegetables. His eyes glistened when he saw who ap- proached. He dropped his spade and hurried to meet Neeland Barnes. “Was you expecting a lady?’ he de- manded. “Good God, no!” Barnes stopped mstantly. Had old ghosts arisen to sunfound him? By WYNDHAM MARTYN Copyright in the United States W NU Bervice “Has any woman the right to go in and monkey about with your things?” “Absolutely nobody,” Barnes cried. “Mr. Barnes.” said Lippsky shrilly, “you are a loafer. You sent her in to get your clothes so you should go away and leave me without nothing to hold. I got your number, and by golly I got hers. I locked her in, and I tell her if she makes a fuss I send for the police. You thought you should find me out. You know this is my lodge night.” “I didn't know there was a lodge low enough to admit you,” Barnes said angrily, “and I sent nobody here. Send for the police. I've had enough of your d—d insolence.” “Pretending she was a fine lady,” said Lippsky, who was growing angry. “Looking at me and my house as “She Called My House a Pigsty.” . though we was dirt. She wouldn't believe you lived here, I tell her right quick you wouldn't even be liv- ing here if you didn’t come over with rent.” Neeland Barnes removed his silk hat and mopped his brow. “My good ass,” he began, “what the devil are you ranting about?” “I tell her,” Lippsky went on, unap- peased, “you could go out with your fine gentleman's clothes on, and a silk hat even, and treat me like dirt. I'm a citizen here same as you, and this is an end of you walking over me with your silk hat and your fifteen dollar shoes. I know the price of them shoes. I tell her to scream all she likes, nobcdy hears away up here.” “You mean to say you've locked a strange woman up in my house?” “It's my house. If you pay the rent, you can go in and get your clothes. If you don’t, you stay out.” Feverishly Lippsky destroyed what- ever chance of life a row of kohlrabi might have had. Then, when he saw his tenant march toward the shack, he followed. “One of them yellow hairs,” he scolded as he trotted by the tall man’s side. “A swell lady who said she didn’t know how you could live in such a pigsty. She called my house a pigsty. Well, she’s been locked up in a pigsty since it was my dinner time.” Suddenly Barnes’ powerful hand seized Lippsky. “If you don’t give me the key,” he said, “I'll twist your arm out of its socket.” Barnes turned the other's wrist a little. “You shall sleep in the jail for this,” Lippsky cried when the key was forced from him. “It will be less verminous than this place, Barnes answered. He put his key in the door and threw it open. He was wholly at a loss to know whom the invader could be. The noise of the opening awoke her. She was a tall, slim girl with golden hair, in a white knitted sports suit. When she saw him she held out her arms. “Darling daddy!” she cried, throw- ing her arms around his neck. “Nita,” he said, stroking her hair, “how I have longed for you! But, my dear, how is it you are here?” “I ran away,” she confessed. “They sald such utterly beastly things about you I couldn't stand it. How well you look, daddy. I shall call you my big brother. Nobody will believe you're my father. What makes you stay in such a funny place as this?’ Sudden- ly she caught sight of Lippsky. “Who is that dreadful little creature?” Lippsky spoke up distinctly. “I own this house, and I've come for the rent. If he don’t pay, he goes to sleep in the village jail. I guess he don’t mind. I guess it ain’t for the first time. He ain't got no money. You say he's your father.” Lippsky grinned. “Well, you got the chance to save your daddy from jail.” “Dad,” she whispered, “I hadn't any idea it was as bad as this. I've only three dollars left. The boat trip took all my savings.” “My dear girl,” he said easily, “the man is known widely as the village idiot. Nobody believes him. It does happen that my rent is due. By the way, how much is it?” “Ninety dollars eighty cents.” “I rather thought it was more,” said Jarnes. He took out a roll of bills and paid. He was left with seven dollars. His reward came in the relief the girl showed. “It’s a fad of mine staying up here,” he admitted. “The air is good and I've been in training. I shall leave now. I think we'll go to New York as soon as possible. How lovely you look. You have those unforgettable violet eyes of your mother, but you are taller.” The thought that he had nowhere to take her made him miser- able, but he would not let her see it. It was incomprehensible to him that the countess of Horsham, his late wife's eldest sister, had allowed her niece to come. The countess had al- ways been his enemy. “It came to a point,” the girl said | when they were in a New York-bound train, “when I was asked to drop my own name and take my mother's. Not that I minded being Nita Fessendon, except that it seemed as though I were publicly ashemed of you. I simply refused. There were awful rows. So I ran away. my own mistress. I sent all the jewels and presents back and started to earn my living.” “Nita,” he cried, with admiration In his look, “how could you possibly do what I've always failed in?” “It wasn’t easy at first,” she ad- mitted, “but I stuck it out and made enough mone# in secretarial work to come out to my own country second cabin. I tried to find you six months ago, but the silly clubs returned all your letters.” Neeland Barnes colored. “Must have mislaid the address,” he said; “d—d careless of them. I shall report it” He wondered how she had run him to earth, “When I got to New York I ‘phoned the Knickerbocker. I knew it used to be your favorite club. I told the secre- I was twenty-one and | tary, or who®ver it was, that 1 was | vour daughter and simply had to find you, and they told me to call up later. When I did they said you lived in Peekskill. I spent three hours looking and then that village idiot locked me ifn.” She did not tell him that naturally she had started her search expecting to find him in one of the better sec- tions of the charming Hudson-side city. The Lippsky cottage on the out- skirts had been a dreadful shock. But the search was over and she was happy. She was very proud of him. Her aunt hed drawn the picture of a decrepit, vive-ridden physical wreck. Instead he was vigorous, clear-skinned, and agile. “Where are we going, daddy?” she | demanded, after she had passed Sing Sing’s embattled walls. “I’m staying with Peter Milman,” he | answered. mentioned him.” “I remember. and he shut himself up in his house and went mad.” “That is just what your aunt would say,” he returned. “He did not go mad.

It took a society leader from Boston to teach me just how gracious a gra- cious lady may sometimes be. For some incredible reason (in our hotel) there was a door leading from her bathroom into the hall, and, equally incredible, when a husky sweeper mis- took his broom closet and pulled at the bathroom door it came open to admit him to the immediate presence of a society leader enjoying her bath. The sweeper’s consternation, pulsat- ing through the service channels, was registered at the desk in about three minutes, By and by the blue-blooded Bostoni- an, marvelously gowned for dinner, as she always was, entered the lobby, and the young men at the desk prayed that she would pass on into the din- ing room. When she headed in their direction they stood their ground he- roieally, but the bloed froze in their veins. She glanced from room clerk to front clerk and back again, smiled sweetly and sald: “My mother, taught me to take my path regularly, but she affixed one rigid requirement—that I should always take it in private. If you'll be good enough to have some one nail up that public entrance to my bathroom I'll be grateful.”—Rufus Steele in the Saturday Evening Post. Egyptians Forbidden Wheat An authority says that the reason the Egyptians did not use wheat, and therefore no traces could be found in their mummified stomachs, ete., was because their religion prohibited fits use as a food. Although they knew of the grain, instead they used maize, which they kneaded with their feet into a bread known as spelt. Thickness of Skin The skin of the human varies great- ly.

ANOTHER YOUNGEST IN LEGION’S RANKS Occasionally a wave of claims and counter-claims sweeps through Ameri- can Legion posts throughout the coun- try regarding who was the youngest man in the fighting forces of the Unit- ed States in the World war. Colorado recently started the argument all over again, and was answered by a post in Omaha, which brought forth the fol- lowing letter from Joe Frank, editor of “The Cracker Legionnaire” of Flor- ida and vice president of the Ameri- can Legion Press association: “I have been sitting back listening to all these other posts yell about the youngest Legionnaire,” the letter reads, “and now it seems as if they have all reported in. 1 think that I am able to show them all up by re- porting Comrade George E.
