Suffering Described As Torture
Relieved by Black-Draught.
Rossville, Ga.—Mrs. Kate Lee Able, of
this place, writes: “My husband is an
engineer, and once while lifting, he in
jured himself with a piece of heavy ma
chinery, across the abdomen. He was
so sore he could not bear to press on
himself at all, on chest or abdomen. He
weighed 165 lbs., and fell off until he
weighed 110 lbs., in two weeks.
He became constipated and it looked
like he would die. We had three different
doctors, yet with all their medicine, his
bowels failed to act. He would turn up
a ten-cent bottle of castor oil, and drink
it two or three days in succession. He
did this yet without result. We became
desperate, he suffered so. He was swol
len terribly. He told me his suffering
could only be described as torture.
1 sent and bought Thedford’s Black-
Draught. I made him take a big dose,
and when it began to act he fainted, he
was in such misery, but he got relief and
began to mend at once. He got well,
and we both feel he owes his life to
Thedford’s Black-Draught.”
Thedford’s Black-Draught will help you
to keep fit, ready for the day’s work.

YOU AND YOUR 51
CHILD ARETa
IN DANGER
You often wonder if such and such
statement you read in the paper is
true. If it is possible for things to
happen. If they are as bad as they
are said to be. This may be, and is
likely so in some instances, but yes
terday we had two cases reported to
us are true, and woefully pitiful.
A family of father, wife and four
children. The oldest child had a
small sore to develop on his lip. He
tvas 11 years old, and a fine fellow.
He was given treatment for several
days, but the sore did not heal, and
the family physician was not satisfied.
He called for one of our experts who
examined the child, and without hes
itation diagnosed the disease as Syph
ilis. A specimen of his blood was
taken and examined for the germs,
and they were found, as the Labora
tory says, 4 plus. This father was
called to the office and he was ques
tioned, his blood was examined and
found negative. He was questioned
about his wife. He had no reason to
think she could have the disease. She
came down the next day and gave a
specimen of blood for examination,
and it was found negative also. The
remaining children were also exam
ined, and each or i was found with
Syphilis This was awful —terrible,
yet here was the fact. The cases were
only found because the family physi
cian had the liberality necessary to
his having the good sense to call an
expert. In time the sore would have
gotten well, and the child would have
more than likely had the smoldering
fires of Syphilitic infection for years
to come.
Later the germs would have en
trenched themselves in one or more
of the vital organs and the fire that
was hidden would have burst forth
with no power on earth to quench it.
That is the way with this enemy after
the first symptoms subside and you
think you are well. You go crazy, be
come a paralytic, you have chronic
liver trouble or your kidneys are in
volved and you die.
While all this is true, it is easy tc
cure if taken in time. It can be cured,
for we have authentic cases that have
contracted it for the third time.
We have gotten away from our
story. How did these four innocent
children get this disease? We do not
know. There are many ways they
may have picked it up. Kissing, eat
ing and drinking after some one who
has it, using the same things that
have been handled by one who is what
doctors term in the “active stage.”
We have a case that occurred in
school children reported by reliable
men, in which the infection was traced
to a fruit dealer. It was his habit tc
spit on his apples to polish them,
afterwards rubbing them with a cloth
He was an active Syphilitic, and the
germs were carried in the sputum.
It pays to be advised. It pays to
know the truth. We are ready tc
help you by advice and making labo
ratory tests for you.
Another sad case has just been re
ported to us. A sweet, beautiful well
nourished fine baby developed sore
eyes. They grew worse and worse.
A fight was on for the eyesight, night
and day, every hour, every moment
the baby was in the hands of the
nurse and doctor. It was hard to tell
whether it could ever see again. It
was gonorheal sore eyes. Where did
it get the germ? The family was
above suspicion, the mother and fa
ther had nothing. They, however,
trusted their baby to a negro girl as
nurse. She had gonorrhoea and with
her finger, accidentally conveyed the
germs too her charge.
It pays to be advised. It pays tc
know the truth. It pays. It pays. St.
John says: “You shall know the truth
and the truth shall make you free.”
Exempted for Reason.
When parliament of the common
wealth of Australia enacted a law
some years ago prohibiting the em
ployment of Asiatic and native island
laborers in that country, the crews,
divers and other workers in the peari
industry at Broome were Malays and
Japanese. More than 1,500 Japanese
were employed in the pearl-tishing
fleets. For a time it was feared that
the new law would destroy the indus
try, but no attempt was made to en
force the law.
The Gypsy’s Revenge.
\V. 11. Campbell had his fortune told
Inst week by one of the gypsies who
have been in this neighborhood lately.
While he was get lug some gasoline tit
the Halsey garage, preparatory to a
trip to Albany, he was approached by
one of the fortune tellers, who naked
for monev. On his refusal to “come
across” she told him he would have
bad luck all the rest of the day. And
sure enough, he had gone only a short
distance when the rear axle of his car
broke! —Oregonian.
Filipino Proverbs.
There is a certain dignity in many
of the proverbs native to the Philip
pine islands. “A hero is braver for his
wounds,” the Filipinos say.
quality of gold is known by rubbing it
against a stone.” "He who despises
counsel is on the way to misfortune.
“Whoever believes everything that Is
said has no mind of his own.” ln
some there is gentle humor. “A sleep
ing shrimp Is carried away by the cur
rent.” “A fish Is caught by the
mouth.” “If you sleep, brother, the
crocodile will cat you up.

SANDRA THE JEALOUS

Author of "The Promoter’s Wife,” and Other Stories.

SANDRA FINDS LIFE A PUZZLE
CHAPTER XXXVIII
So everyone had thought Everett
would marry Irma Barton. Perhaps
he was sorry he hadn’t! He always
acted so gay and interested when he
was with her—not at all stern and
quiet as he was when with me. I
had felt a little jealousy of Mrs.
Barton ever since the first time I had
seen Everett talking with her. Now
that jealousy was increased. She
acted flattered by Everett’s atten
tions—but if he had cared for her
why hadn’t he married her instead of
me?
Then I remembered that Mr. Lev
eridge had said:
“She’s not young, and I guess
Graham is ready to settle down with
a family. It looks like it, marrying
that child.
How I wished the music had not
just then started up. I couldn't help
wondering what more he would have
said. He had started “He is”—then
I heard no more.
“If Everett Graham thought he
was going to marry me just to make
a mother of me, he was mistaken!
Let him adopt children if he wanted
them,” I said to myself, then blush
ed at my immodesty in thinking of
such things. Yet hadn’t he as much
as told me that that was his reason
for asking me to marry him?” A
home and family, wife and children,”
he had said when I asked him what
he married me for when he loved
Leola.
Sometimes I thought that no girl
ever had such a queer sort of a puz
zle to solve as I did. If I could have
written or talked it over with Moth
er, I think she would have found some
way to help me. But she was so far
away; had been so averse to my
marrying an older man, and would
be unhappy if she thought I was not
contented that I could not bring
myself to let her know 'anything
about how I felt.
I blushed whenever I thought of
how I had told Rose Grandon that
Everett was “crazy over me, wild to
marry me.” I had heard how he had
treated Leola, the woman he was in
love with, and of whom he was so
jealous. And I knew the way he
treated me, the woman he had mar
ried for those other reasons.
Oh, if I only dared to do the things
Leola did! If when Everett told me
not to dance in public places, I had
the courage to dance all I wanted
to—and Le treated me coldly or flared
up at me, I dared to make such a
fuss that he would have to do some
thing to quiet me.
Some day when I was a little old
er, and when I had been his wife
a little longer,. I would do those
things too—the things that Leola used
to do. I was learning a lot about
her. Perhaps I would soon learn
something of the indiscreet things she
had done; then I would do the same
things. If they made Everett love
her, they might make him love me
too. He might also be jealous of me.
And I like all other girls thought
jealousy a sign of love instead of
a lack of faith.
I did not reason that it was not
because of the things that Leola did
that Everett loved her, but because of
what she was she herself; that he
loved her so well that he was willing
to bear with her because of that
love, and not having the same feel
ing for me, that same intense love,
he would not be willing to put up
with the same things from me.
The next afternoon Barret Ed
monds came uo to practice the new
songs. I tried again to get him to
enthuse over Rose but he simply
would not. He just said nice things
to me. Not silly, babyish things like
fat Mr. Leveridge and that horrid
Mr. Cantwell did—Barrett treated
me as if I at least knew a little
something and had passed the stage
when all I could do was play with
dolls.
We had a delightful time even if
he wouldn’t talk about Rose. I called
him Mr. Edmonds, of course, but he
asked me if I didn’t think I knew him
well enough to call him “Barry”, as
Alice Sloane did?
“Oh no,” I replied, blushing fu
riously. “I never called anyone in
Hendon by their first names.”
“Why not in Hendon as well as
any other place?”
“Oh, I don’t know!” I wanted to
say'that I didn’t think Everett would
like it, yet hated to.. “You see I
haven’t known you vptv long.”

I DIDN’T sleep well last night
*and early this morning I suddenly
developed the idea of how wonder
ful itwould be to take a swim be
fore breakfast. And I remembered
Helen had said she’d love to, any
time she could get anyone to go
with her. So I sluaped into a
dress and get the can I expected
to have to go and wake Helen,
but instead I actually found her
gardening. She has a pet hobby—
roses—and she loves to fuss with
them. I managed to drag her
away and wouldn’t even let her
change her gardening dress which
was really most attractive. It was
made of heavy unbleached muslin
trimmed with bands of violet and
white checked gingham. With it
she wore a big viqlet shade hat and
amongst the roses she made the
center of a very pretty picture.
“I won’t urge you. But if you”—
he left his sentence unfinished. “May
I join you and Mrs. Sloane at Rap
pelye’s?” he asked a moment later.
“I should enjoy it.” my reply
sounded stilted.
“Please expect me then. Tell Mrs.
Sloane I hope to be host on that oc
casion.”
The. rest of the.time he stayed we
just talked and laughed. I told him
of home and the boys and girls, of
Toodles and Buster. I made him
laugh heartily when I told him of
some of their pranks; and how they
used to tease me. I had not meant
to be so confidential; Everett had
told me to keep my home affairs to
myself—that peoples were not in
terested in what belonged solely to
one’s own family. Yet Barrett Ed
monds said when he left that he had
not spent so happy an afternoon in a
long time. I was sure that I had
not.
“Until Friday,” he had said when
he left—then raised :r.y hand to lib
lips!
I had read of men who did this
but it was the first time a man had
ever kissed my hand. Someway it
kept him in my thoughts.

Few Large Rubies Known.
Unlike the diamond and emerald,
rubies of large size are exceedingly
rare, but mention has been made of a
few in the works of Marco Polo, Man
deville and other travelers in the
Orient, which may be believed or not
by present-day readers as the great
gems to which they refer have all
been lost to sight for centuries, un
less they are stored away among the
secret treasures of Persia, Burma or
China.
