A FINE GENERAL STRENGTHENING TONIC
CROSSED WIRES
By ELLIS TOWER.
“It was a long, long letter, and it be
gan:
Dear Jack:
Your note came today. It made me
feel anew how much I miss you. . . .
Dearest one in all the world, when you
know that I love you why should I not
speak of my love? Why should I let con
ventionality hold me back when 1 am
starving with my heart hunger? . . .
I can say it without even asking that
you love me as I love you, or praying
that the future may in some miraeulous
way bring us together. I only pray that
my love for you may carry with it r ome
blessing. Good-by. .HDD.
Miss Curzon finished this letter anu
read it carefully through. Then she
laid both arms on the table, dropped
her head between them and sobbed
heavily. The telephone rang and the
sudden noise startled her. She an
swered in a weak, trembling voice.
The operator apologized. It was an
error; the wires were crossed, and
somebody else was wanted.
“Ah, yes,” she moaned, “it is some
one else who is wanted all the time.
Love does not call me; success does
not call me."
Just then she remembered that suc
cess had that day signaled her in the
form of a letter from her literary
agent asking whether she could sup
ply a serial for publication to be
started soon. But how could she
write of love, when li own hopeless
love was crushing her heart? She
sat down and wrote a curt note to the
agent stating that it would be impos
sible to send the story for several
weeks.
The telephone rang again. Another
apology —the wires were crossed
again. She hung up the receiver with
a jerk and burst into nervous sobbing.
Hearing her sister's voice in the hall,
she hurried the two letters into en
velopes and concealed them. After
good-nights had been said and she
was alone again she dropped the let
ters down the chute and went to her
room to sit by the open window until
far into the night.
During the night a storm came and
the next day was so cold and rainy
that all the hotel guests were kept
indoors. Miss Curzon was the most
restless person there. Her sister's
health was not improving. In fact,
this damp morning showed her color
less and frail.
“Oh, I've been blind to everything
buts my own hopeless love!” Miss
Curzon left her breakfast untasted, as
remorseless thoughts rushed into
her mind. "I’ve been selfish and idle
when it was so necessary for me to
be busy. I should never have sent
either of those letters last night. Jack
will despise me for a foolish, forward
woman, and Barnaby will use some
other writer's serial. Will I never
learn to be rational?” To crowd these
thoughts from her mind she plunged
into work.
For the next few days she worked
hard, but all that she wrote was un
satisfactory. Fighting remorse and
smothering regret did not aid in good
work. The letters from New York
came to her on the fourth day. One
was in Jack's irregular, boyish hand
writing and the other had Barnaby’s
address in the upper corner. She tried
to ignore her trembling hands and
pounding heart as she opened Jack’s
letter. On one page of perfectly cor
rect crested notepaper she read just
this;
My Dear Jill:
First let me congratulate you upon hav
ing arrived in your “authoring” where
you can hold off publishers while they
clamor for serials. I opened this letter,
expecting to find a nice, chummy letter
like the talks we used to have at the
lake. Instead, I found this brief note to
Mr. S. Barnaby, evidently some publisher.
I’m returning it. as the street address is
not given and I failed to find him in the
city directory.
The wires must be crossed, and the
publisher got my message. So send me
another one. won’t you? I shall not for
get our good times together and shall
hope to hear from you often.
Sincerely,
JACK.
The letter dropped at Miss Curzon's
feet. She was chalky white and her
voice was a hoarse whisper.
“What have I done? How can I
ever explain to Barnaby?” Almost
holding her breath, she resolutely
opened his letter. As she read it she
dropped into a chair, spent with re
lief. This was his letter:
My Dear Miss Curzon:
You failed to inclose a letter of expla
nation. and I think you also failed to in
close part of the manuscript for the first
installment of your “Jack and Jill” story.
I take it that you want my opinion,
though, so here it is: Your plot will have
to be a corking good one if you make a
serial in the form of letters. Let me
know just what your idea is about this.
I remember that you told me typewrit
ers were an unknown quantity up there
where you’ve been resting, but I am re
turning your manuscript herewith and
hope to receive your regular copy for this
and the remainder of the seriai as soon
as you ca» get it to me. Y’ours trulv,
B. BARNABY.
The afternoon mail carried out this
note - •
My Dear Jack:
I’m afraid you wonder how one so
stupid as to send the wrong letter to a
publisher ever manages to get into print.
The note I wrote you has been returned
by the publisher, but it’s stale now. so
I’m writing another to repeat my cordial
wishes that the inclosed kodak pictures
may be pleasant reminders of our good
times at tlie lake. I’ve missed you dread
fully, and was delighted to have your
note last week. Pleasantly,
JILL.
A messenger boy at the hotel turned
in this message late that night-
B. Barnaby,
Care Authors’ Club, New York:
Serial started on different plan. Have
sent for typewriter. Will send manu
script in one week.

CILIEL IS MERCURY, II SICKENS!
STOP USING SALIVATING DIG
Don't Lose a Day's Work! !f Your Liver Is Sluggish or Bowels
Constipated Take “Dodson’s Liver Tone.'—lt's Fine!
You're bilious! Your liver is slug
gish! You feel lazy, dizzy and all
knocked out. Your head is dull, your
tongue is coated; breath bad; stomach
sour and bowels constipated. But don’t
take salivating calomel. It makes you
sick, you may lose a day’s work.
Calomel is mercury or quicksilver
which causes necrosis of the bones.
Calomel crashes into sour bile like
dynamite, breaking it up. That's when
you feel that awful nausea and cramp
ing.
If you want to enjoy the nicest, gen
tlest liver and bowel cleansing you
ever experienced just take a spoonful

What to Do for
Itching Skins
Eczema, ringworm and other itch
ing, burning skin eruptions are so eas
ily made worse by improper treatment,
that one has to be
very careful. There
is one method, how
ever, that you need
not hesitate to use,
even on a baby’s ten
der skin —that is, the
resinol treatment.
Resinol is the pre
scription of a Balti
more doctor, put up
in the form of resin-
ol ointment and resinol soap. This
proved so remarkably successful, that
thousands of other physicians have
prescribed it constantly for 20 years.
Resinol stops itching instantly, and
almost always heals the eruption
quickly and at little cost. Resinol
ointment and resinol soap can be
bought at any druggist’s, and are not
at all expensive.
The Whole Truth.
The reputation of children for tell
ing the truth about their elders w’as
enhanced in Massachusetts recently
when Governor Walsh, attending the
dedication of a public building, ad
dressed a number of pupils in the
elemental - / grades. By way of giving
his youthful audience an object les
son in various forms of patriotic
service, the governor pointed to his
military aid, who was in a gold
laced uniform, and asked: “Who is
this man?”
“He is a soldier.”
“What does he do?”
“Fights for his country.”
“Who am I?"
“The governor.”
“What do I do?”
“Nothing,” chorused the children,
who, incredible as it may seem, had
not been coached beforehand.
FOUND HEALTH
IN CARDUI
Oklahoma Lady Says She Visited
Four States Seeking Health, But
Did Not Find It Until She
Took Cardui.
Henryetta, Okla. —Mrs. Anna Hile
inan, of this place, says that she suf
fered for 8 years with headache, back
ache, and other complaints caused
from womanly troubles, and that she
had been to Colorado, Dakota, Mis
souri, and Kansas seeking health and
never found it until she took Cardui.
She says she was given up and was
told that she had cancer and was con
fined to her bed for three months.
She further says: “We then moved
here and after moving here, the drug
gist here in Henryetta, Okla., told my
husband about Cardui and gave him a
Birthday Almanac, and I read the tes
timonials and began taking it, and
could see after I had taken the second
bottle it was doing me good, and so I
have kept it up. I would not do with
out it in the house. When I feel tired
and nervous after doing a hard day’s
work it seems to rest qie and make me
feel fresh . . .
Today I am a well woman and I
know that Cardui . . . has cured me
... I can do all my own work and
washing and house cleaning now with
out ever giving out. I have several
friends right here in town who have
been unable to do their work for years
but are now up. since taking a couple
of bottles of Cardui. I weigh 146
pounds, and am always well . . . When
I commenced taking it one year ago,
I only weighed 100 pounds.”
All druggists sell Cardui, the wom
an’s tonic. Try it if you need a rem
edy of this kind. Get a bottle today.

Ringgold, La.—Mrs. S. A. Cotter, of
this place, writes: “Will say that 1 am
perfectly well and the happiest soul on
earth. Wish every pellagra sufferer could
know of your great remedy. I know how
to appreciate health and sympathize with

heart is full of rejoicing. I feel that I

has spared my life for some good, and I
feel that I have just begun to live.”
There is no longer any doubt that pel
lagra can be cured. Don’t delay until it
is too late. It is your duty to consult the
resourceful Baughn.
The symptoms—hands red like sunburn;
skin peeling off, sore mouth, the lips,

much mucus and choking; indigestion and
nausea, either diarrhoea or constipation.
There is hope; get Baughn’s big Free

Stability of United States.
The Constitution of the United

been remade. Among the nations

land, Russia, Denmark and Spain.
Yet in the past century and a quarter
those countries have lived through
governmental changes that show be

The complaints against the robin

The bluebirds’ consumption of culti

practically confined to cherries, rasp
berries and blackberries, and its fruit
eating period is very short, being only
from late fall to early spring when
the insects which it prefers are scarce.
