/Relief for Torpid Livers
and Habitual Constipation
The liver Is the largest and most Im
portant organ In the body, and when the
liver refuses to act. It causes constipa
tion, biliousness, headaches, Indigestion,
gas, sour stomach, bad breath, dysentery.
! diarrhoea, pains In back and under shoul-
'l der blades and under ribs on right side.
I These symptoms lead to colds, Influenza
i or other serious troubles unless corrected
.1 Immediately.
' An Inactive liver places an extra
bnrden on the kidneys, which overtaxes
them and cnuses the blood to absorb and
carry Into the system the Impurities that
the liver and kidneys have failed to elim
inate.
When you treat the liver alone, you
treat only a third of your trouble, and
that Is why you have to take purgatives
every few nights. Calomel or other or
dinary laxatives do not go far enough.
If you would treat your kidneys and blood
while treating the liver, you would put
your entire system In order nnd frequent
purgatives would then be unnecessary.
Dr. W. L. Hitchcock many years ago
recognized these Important facts, and after much study nnd research, com
pounded what Is now known as Dr. Hitchcock’s Liver, Kidney and Blood Pow
ders, three medicines combined In one. This was the Doctor’s favorite pre
scription for many years, being used by his patients with marked success. It
Is a harmless vegetable remedy that will not make you sick, and you may eat
anything you like while taking It.
Get a large tin box from your druggist or dealer for 25 cents, under his
personal guarantee that It will give relief, tone up the liver, stimulate the
kidneys to healthy action and thereby purify the blood. Keep It In the home
for ready use whenever any member of the family begins to feel “out of sorts.”
It will prove a household friend and a valuable remedy.

Honey Yield Higher.
The average yield of surplus honey
In 1910 was 90 pounds to a colony of
honey hoes, ns estimated by the bureau
of crop estimates, United States de
partment of agriculture. This is con
siderably above the average of 45
pounds In 1918, nnd of 41.0 pounds for
the five years, 1918-17. The relative
proportions In which the honey of the
last two years was marketed are in
dicated by 50 for extracted honey, 31
for,comb honey, and 10 for hulk honey.
About one-third of the product goes

Took Throne From Sister.
It is not generally known that the
king of Spain succeeded not his fa
ther, hut his sister, the Infanta Mer
cedes, who was. though only six years
old, queen of Spain from the death of
her father, Alfonso XII. to the birth of
the present king. Altogether she
reigned 160 days, probably the short
est reign on record. The Salic law,
which bars females from the accession
to a throne, does not operate In Spain,
and until the sex of Alfonso XIl’s
posthumous child was determined, the
eldest of his two daughters automat*
ically succeeded him.

“Well, big folks have to mind just

My name is Raymond, Henry J. Ray
mond, and I am a stock broker by pro
fession.
You probably remember the rise of
G. R. Q. in nineteen-two. Well* I was
one of the tight little sticks In the
financial kite at that time, and 1 got
mine. I am going to be perfectly
frank, my hat-Size Increased directly
after this transaction.
I begnu to buy diamonds for Mrs.
Raymond, and never stopped until I
had loaded that clever little lady with
gems galore. 1 even bought them for
my wife’s sister. The day l gave Mrs.
R the diamond necklac^, I gave
one to her sister Belle. It was scan
dalous the way I bought dlumonds.
They never came too big or bril
liant for me, and every stone was
tested by my friend, Sllversteln. I
used to lunch with Mr. Sllversteln
quite often, his pawn-broker shop be
ing located on the same block with
my ollice.
Well, you know the condition of
the market In nineteen-three. It was
simply awful, and things going from
bad to worse.
I was living out at Brinton that
year, and when the winter cnine on I
was simply cupped for money. You
can imaging how hud things were
when I tell you that I sifted the fur-
nuce ashes and shoveled the snow Just
to economize, and yet we seemed to be
paying our household bills. Somehow
thut blessed little wife of mlue could
stretch u ten-dollur bill until It cov
ered fifty dollars’ worth of expenses.
Matters came to a focus, however,
one morning In December.
Jessie (that’s Mrs. Raymond), nnd I
had been to a reception at the club
the night before. Ye gods! but she
sparkled like a cut-glass chandelier.
And there 1 wns going to the city the
next morning with just thirty-two
cents in my pocket.
I was In the smoker when the Idea
came to me.
“I’ll steal Jessie’s diamond neck
lace.” said I.
You see, I had convinced myself
that three thousand dollars tied up In
a necklace was too much money.
Directly after dinner Fate drove
.things my way on a gallop, for Jessie
suggested that we go down and call
on her sister Belle. ,
“Say, Jess,” said I, “if you don’t
mind, I’d sooner run over to the club
house a while."
“Very well,” she replied like an obe
dient little wife. “But you’ll call for
me. won’t you?" ’
“Certainly, certainly. I’ll drop In at
10:30 sharp.” 1 answered.
Oh, but It wus easy I I Just walked
around the block, went In the house,
dug down in the trunk and took my
plunder.
Just to keep up the little comedy
and iutroduce a realistic effect. 1 left
the trunk lid open and wrenched ofT
the fasteners from a window opening
on tlie kitchen extension.
Naturally, 1 went to Sflversteln’s
the first tiling In the morning, and he
came up dollar for dollar. Of course,
I explained that the market was in
bad sliupe and I needed some ready
money thut day, etc., etc. Do you
know that the fellow actually wanted
to press'more money on me; but the
jump from thirty-two cents to three
thousand dollars was enough for me.
Maybe I didn’t take home some
flowers that night.
I invented a charming fabrication
about a sudden rise in stock when I
presented some roses that evening.
’ Well, ail things come In due season,
and I felt certain things were about
due when Jess went upstairs to dress
for dinner. She said she would dress
“special" in honor of my good luck
and the roses, I knew thut “special”
meant diamonds.
She had been in her room a few mo
meats only when I heard her scream.
“Mercy! Jess, what Is It?” I asked.
“Oh. oh! (’ll die from laughter.
Oh. hut this is too funny.”
“What Is it, Jess? Tell me at
once.”
“Why, I—why somebody has stolen
my diamond necklace.” Then she
went oil' into unother fit of silly laugh
ter.
“Well,” I thundered. “Tell me, is
that something funny#’
"Oh. yes; It’s too funny." she man
aged tp shy. “They—they were only
paste."
“Paste! Those diamonds pastel” 1
howled. “You’re crazy.”
“Oh. no. I’m not; it’s too funny.^ I
—I—I had n duplicate necklace made
of paste diamonds,” she gurgled. “I
always knew that we’d he robbed
some day. Oh, Isn’t It a good Joke?”
I saw Sllversteln taking the matter
in the light of a good Joke.
“Where are the real diamonds?
That’s what 1 want to know.” I blurt
ed out. I must have spoken very
rough, for she began to cry.
“They are In our safe-deposit box,
safe, and—nnd you don’t even tell me
you ore glad, and—and. or. oh. oh! I
wish I was dead!’’
Well, when 1 heard that Joyous bit
of news all of my comfort talk came
to the surface, and 1 soon had her
feeling real ehlpperlike.
“You’ll leave them there, where no
robber can get them, won’t you. dear?"
she chirped, drving her tears.
“Why—er—no—yes. yes. of course,”
I managed to say.
“Oh. what a love of a man you are!"
In about five minutes I heard Jess
give an unearthly scream, and I,
bounded up those stairs like a balloon
ascension. I found her on the floor,
wringing her hands. *
“Oh, Henry, this Is terrible. The
rest of my diamonds are gone. Rings,
sunbursts, everything. All taken by
the sume robber.”
“By George, I never touched them,"
I gasped before I thought.
“Oh, of course you didn’t,” she
sobbed. “But It was the first thing I
thought of, that maybe you had done
It for a joke. Oh, dear, oh, dear!”
I managed to get about two hours’
sleep before morning. The roost Im
portant problem now was to secure
that key. There It lay on her dresser,
so near and yet so far. At 5 a. m. I
decided to steal It. Jess was in her
beauty sleep, her soundest and best;
so I quietly took It and substituted
one from my pocket that resembled It
to perfection.
I was at the Trust company’s of
fice before that Institution opened It*
doors.
In ten minutes' time, I was In Sll-
versteln’s place, ready to explain how
the matter had occurred. But would
you believe It, the fellow actually had
a warrant out for me.
“Why, confound It, man," said I,
“my wife had a set of paste diamonds
made for safety nnd I never knerw a
thing about It," nnd then I sailed right
In. It was shameful, the way I talked
to him, and for a strong finish, I threw
tlte genuine diamonds down on the
counter ami shook my fist at him.
“I’m through with you, Sllversteln,
do you understand? I’m through with
you.”
Sllversteln picked up the necklnce
nnd after one hasty glance, tossed It
back again.
“You’re through with me, eh? Well,
I’m not through with you. This neck
lace, also, Is the cheapest kind of
paste.” Then he turned to the rerar
of the shop and said, “Hey, Louis, call
an officer.”
1 raved nnd stormed.
I pleaded nnd begged.
But It did no good. In the end I
counted out two thousand nine hun
dred nnd seventy-five dollars and had
to put up my watch to cover the twen
ty-five dollars I had spent.
It must hnve been between twelve
nnd one when the office boy came In
and said that my wife was outside nnd
ould like to see me. In fact, she fol
lowed right In behind him and com
menced to tnlk the moment she en
tered the door.
"Oh, Henry, guess what. I phoned
for the chief of police this morning
after you left, nnd he came up to the
house and asked h lot of questions,
nnd made a whole lot of notes, and—"
“Good heavens! This Is too much I”
I howled.
“What’s too much?" she simpered.
“This police business," I yelled, with
visions of the explanations that
would have to be made nt headquar
ters.
“Why, Henry, the ldtja! He said he
could find the robber Inside of six
hours."
“That’s It, that’s It," I moaned. "You
want me to go to Jail, don’t you?"
“What do you mean, love?” she
twittered.
“Mean! Oh. I mean to say that I
stole the necklace. Do you under
stand? I did It. Me—Yours truly. I
am the robber. I stole the necklnce.
But. by George! I never touched the
rest of them In the bottom of the
trunk."
Her face lit up with a henvenly
smile, and. without any excitement, she
said:
“Well, I surmised It all the while,
so—I—T stole the others."
“You?” I gasped. “You?”
"Yes. dear,” she answered.
"Then you have made a terrible mis
take In calling up the police," said I.
“Well, ns for thnt—er—It’s—really,
It’s the only fib I’ve told, nnd I rather
thought I’d use It to preclpitnte mut
ters.” she answered, cool as Ice.
“Well, since you’re so clever, maybe
,you can tell me why I found a second
set of paste dlumonds in that safe-de
posit box?"
“Oh.” she said, freezing up. “You’ve
been there, too. have you?”
“I hnve, madum. Please explain."
“In the first place, Mr. Raymond,”
she commenced, right on her dignity,
“How do you think I can run our
establishment on the paltry sum of
money you give me? In the second
place. Mr. Raymond, those diamonds
were mine. The first set of paste I
had made for safety, nnd ns nobody
seemed to know the difference, I had
the second set made because 1 knew
you were hnrd up."
“Then you used the money for house
hold expenses?" I asked.
“I did,” she replied very emphatic
ally.
What could I do? I simply went
right over and kissed her, and there
In my office we hud u heart-to-heurt
talk.
When she started for the 2:30 train,
she said:
“Remember this: Many a man has
gone to pieces financially just because
he failed to let his wife know how
lie stood on inopey matters."
And she wns off, taking her orlginul
paste diamonds with her.
After dinner that night. Jess placed
a small package In my hand, and said:
“To show you that a woman can
manage these things better than a
man. take this nnd use It.”
“What Is It, Jess?” I asked very
meekly.
"A genuine diamond necklace,” she
replied. "1 onlled on Belle this after
noon. Paste diamonds are Just ns be
coming to her style as the genuine;”
“Why, Jess—What?—How?"
“Never mind how I did It.” she an
swered. “Ti nt’s part of a woman’s
management, and what Belle doesn’t
know will never worry her."
