True Enough An Irish small farmer was asked if the report of his intended second marriage was true, and replied : It is, yer honor."

REALLY SIMPLE Anne finally promised that she would talk to Neal about going away; but Neal, like most men, and especially like most husbands, while deeply concerned over acute illness, did not regard convalescence as a serious matter. Now that she was up and dressed, now that she went out for a short ride in the motor every day, now that he saw her supervising Nancys fall wardrobe with interest and shepherding her brothers into the social field, now that he beard her discussing dinners with Alphonsine, he assumed that she was perfectly all right, and said so. But in the succeeding weeks he watched her with secret anxiety. She was he was reluctantly forced to ad mit to himself very thin, very white and very listless. He tried to find satisfactory explanations for this: of course the loss of the baby had been a shock to her; but she would recover from that Of course she had suffered a good deal of pain ; but after all, lier constitution was good, she ought to have excellent powers of recuperation But did she? it began to look as if she did not. About the middle of November, quite as if it were his own idea advanced for the first time, he said a little gravely he thought it would be a good plan for her to have a change of air. Its nice and cool in Quebec, he reached the Colonial chamber which she had made so beautiful, she was not there either. Well, then she must be helping Sol and Sam with their French. She often did that too astonishing how she had mastered it. He couldnt get a can of hot water himself If the steward who happened to wait on him didnt speak English-cle- ver, Anne was and better every year a great credit to him. He never would have got where he had without her. Complacently, he went to sleep. In the morning when he woke she lay, as usual, beside him, her curls tumbled over the pillow, one slim bare arm thrust under her head. He never guessed that she had spent most of the night walking blindly beside the Potomac river, regarded with an anxious curiosity by an occasional watchful policeman and with covetous misunderstanding by an occasional night prowler. But there whs something about her that kept both from approaching her something almost un- told Anne. Its nice and cool in Washington now. retorted Anne. Well, you could have gone away sooner if you had wanted to, couldnt You you? he asked almost grimly. said you didnt care I didnt and I dont unless you could come too Just before the opening of congress? My dear girl, you know that is impossible I am so driven at this time of the year I hardly know which . way to turn. Besides . Besides, you feel that this year, If you went away at all, you ought to go to Hinshoro? Hesitated, then drew in his breath and spoke with the air of one who was preparing for a deep plunge. Yes. he said at length, I do. 1 have decided to run for the senate. I would never be satisfied if I didnt and that means a real fight I ought to Of have got started at it sooner. course the man thats in has certain advantages, but Fletcher, who is al most certain to oppose me, has millions behind him where 1 have thou sands, and he owns the biggest newspaper in the state. I do think Anne, you sometimes overlook the importance of keeping in touch with state affairs in your desire not to miss anything here. Yon are kind to every one who comes to Washington but youre not at home a great deal. Now if you could get to Hinshoro early this spring . . . I can. I will. And make up your mind for a heavy summer exert yourself. Dont act like a high brow. A little of that stuff you tried to hush up teaching school, living in a tenement and do ing your own washing has its points And in onq of the sensational sheets you are pictured as an impudent, ag gressive. ignorant little climber. The stories are terribly distorted, I know, but there is a grain of truth in them and they are not doing me any good. An ignorant, Anne sat very still. Neal How can I keep my hair from falling out?

THE FLAVOR L-A-S-- T-S impudent, aggressive little climber So that was the way she appeared to her enemies and Neals. The perseverance, the patience, the which had enabled her to grow from 'a raw little country girl into a well developed, EME RiYiW.H ERE self-assure- d woman were ignoble rather than admirable quail ties when viewed with unfriendly eyes. She felt as if something cold and sharp had penetrated to her heart and coiled around it. But Neal, unconscious that she was stricken, went on talking. I dont want to hurt your feelings, Anne, and of course I know you dont mean to be indiscreet, but well . . Lassiter was here a good deal last winter. It was rumored around that you that be anyway when the baby was born, there was a paragraph in City Chatter Miss Letts showed it to me not that I believe a word of the scurrilous stuff or that she did you know that, of course. You know that I love you and trust you, but I thought you ought to know . . . Feeling that he had perhaps said enough. Neal bent over the evening paper.

He had borne the brunt of It bravely, almost buoyantly, but on election night he had suddenly collapsed and, leaving his headquarters, had come home, refusing to see anyone or even to speak with anyone butAnne. If the telehad been a rattlesnake coiled phone ready to strike at him, he could not have manifested a greater horror at the suggestion of touching it So taking her place beside it Anne sat waiting for the tidings which sooner or later would come. Tidings of victory, tidings of defeat She had no way of guessing which they were to be. She only knew that she must be there when they came. That until then she must comfort, cheer, cajole, caress In the gathering dusk, her hands clasped tightly in her lap, she reviewed the months that had passed since that night of desperation, when, bruised and bleeding, she had walked slowly along the Speedway confessing herself beaten, vowing that since she had tried so hard and failed, she would never try any more ; and then suddenly, miraculously, finding the strength to vow that she had only just begun to fight. Turning from the gray Potomac, she had walked beside the still pool in which the columns of the Lin coin memorial lay reflected in the ghastly light. There was peace there peace not to be found in the rushing river. She sat down on the bank and clasped her hands over her eyes. Slowly, surely her sanity seemed to return her balance to be restored. Go back to Hinshoro, humbled and humiliated, with Neals career involved! Never, never, never! Confess that a had the power to filthy periodica challenge her good name? Her dead baby seemed to rise from his grave forbidding her. She shook the tears from her eyes, threw back her head, and walked towards home. . . . State Headquarters? Yes, Mrs. Conrad speaking for Senator Conrad two wards In Belford have gone for Fletcher by a large majority. Thank you. Why Children Need a liquid Laxative The temporary relief children get from unwise dosing with hareh cathartics may cause bowel strain, and even setup irritation in the kidneys. A properly prepared liquid laxative brings a perfect movement. There is no discomfort at the time and no weakness after. You dont have to give the child a double dose a day or two later. Can constipation be safely relieved in children? Yesl say medical men. Yes! say many mothers who have followed this sensible medical advice: 1: Select a good liquid laxative. 2. Give the dose you find suited to the system. 3. Gradually reduce the dose until the bowels are moving regularly without aid. An approved liquid laxative (one that is widely used for children) is Dr. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin. The mild laxative action of this excellent preparation is the best form of help too. for Children and grown-up-s, The dose can be regulated for any age or need. Your druggist has Dr. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin. Member N. R. A. Severe Itching Eruption on Babys Face and Scalp Cuticura Healed When baby was between two and three months old an eruption appeared on her face and scalp in Yes. Out in the hall again. Neal seized her arm and spoke before she could do so. I heard you. The first two wards they have heard from! If I lose Belford I am lost. You havent lost it! What do two wards amount to in a city? Nothing, nothing at all Back to the telephone. Yes Mrs. Conrad speaking. Oh, the report from the third ward two to ninety-fivhundred eighty-siin fa vor of my husband?

Plan Spiral Scheme to Store Autos To solve the parking problem in its traffic centers, London architects propose the erection c towering structures patterned after buildings in ancient Assyria, according to a writer in the Daily Telegraph. Contending that the outside spiral on many of the larger Assyrian buildings was not a stairway but a ramp for their chariots to be driven up and down, the writer says: Before many months have passed, we may see erected in London not a tower of Babel, but a great shop or business building in which each floor, department or office will be directly reached from its own carriage way rising about it from the street level to the roof. The roadway, more than one mile long, circles the outside of the structure like a spiral, along which would face the store fronts of the merchant tenants. , There would be a balcony at each floor level. On one face ot the rectangle, normally at the rear, are oneway ramps 10 feet wide connecting each floor with the next, two ramps between each pair of floors, one for ascending and one for descending cars, and thus there is no crossing traffic. Coming down, to save time the car would descend by lift. The whole suggestion Is put forward as the beginning of a solution heavy of the car parking and traffic problem, which already has become a serious menace to the development of property, apart from the question of safety of the traveling public. Where two or more such buildings faced one another across the street, balcony might be linked to balcony and so bring into being the prophetic vision of overhead roadways. Hercules Was First The airplane spin, much fancied by some modern wrestlers, had its forerunner back in the days of Greek mythology, although the Greeks knew nothing of airplanes, and some of the modern wrestlers may know as little about Greek mythology. Hercules was the first recorded user cf the airplane spin when he defeated Antaeus, the Libyan giant, who could not be thrown so long as he remained In contact with the ground. Any who visited his land was forced to wrestle with him, and he was believed to have built a temple to his father, using the skulls of his victims as the building material Along) came Hercules, the wonder worker, however, to do combat with Antaeus. Instead of wasting his strength in the vain effort to throw the giant, Hercules lifted him off the ground and while bolding him in the air, small, red pimples which became inflated with fluid and later formed a crust giving the skin a very disfiguring appearance. Due to the severe Itching baby would scratch, causing bleeding. Not until she was five months old did hair grow on top of her head. A friend recommended Cuticura Soap and Ointment so I bought them. After two weeks there was a wonderful improvement, and with the use of one cake of Soap and one box of Ointment she was healed. (Signed) Mrs. W. R. Groves, Lincoln-to- n, Ga., Aug. 10, 1933.
