“Being exposed to extreme heat when
working as an engineer, and then go
ing outdoors to cool off, caused my
kidney trouble," says Karl Goering,
8513 N. Orkney St., Philadelphia, Pa.
“In cold weather and when it was
damp, my joints and
muscles would swell and
ache, and often my limbs
were so badly affected
it was only with great
misery I was able to
f et around. For a week
was laid up in bed.
hardly able to move hand
or foot.
“Another trouble was
from irregular and scanty
passages of the kidney secretions. 1
became dull and weak and had to give
up my work. Headaches and dizzy
spells nearly blinded me and I went
from 265 to 200 in weight. Nothing
helped me and I felt I was doomed to
suffer. ’
“At last I had the good fortune to
hear of Doan's Kidney PiUs and be
gan taking them. I soon got back my
strength and weight and all the rheu
matic pains and other kidney troubles
left. I have remained cured."

Decent Dressing.
Loton Horton, the milk king, was
talking at a New York dinner about
the modern woman’s “ultra" gowns.
“A profiteer," he said, “was dress
ing the other evening for the opera
when his wife stalked into his
dressing room.
“ ‘Here you are,’ she hissed, 'a war
profiteer getting 300 per cent divi
dends, and I’ve only got one decent
dress.’
He turned and looked her up and
down; then he said:
“ ‘Well, I wish to goodness you’d
wear it!”’

Though she spoke English, French
German and Roumanian, the inter

university center near Bucharest.
Hungarian was the popular tongue
there. The town, formerly IColozsvar,
is the home of Hungarian proprietors
and the sent of a former Hungarian
university. Out of 2,151 students,
only 120 were women. The Y. W. C.
A., which is carrying on work for

Ugh ! Calomel makes you sick. It’s

lose a day.
Calomel is mercury I When it comes
Into contact with sour bile, It crashes
into It, breaking it up. Then Is when
you feel that awful nausea and cramp

torpid and bowels constipated or you
have headache, dizziness, coated

Here’s my guarantee—Go to any
drug store and get a bottle of Dodson’s
LIv*er Tone for a few cents. Take a
spoonful and if it doesn’t straighten you
right up and' make you feel fine and
vigorous, go back to the store and get
your money. Dodson’s Liver Tone Is
destroying .the sale of calomel becuuse
it can not salivate or make you sick.—

EATONIC Users
—Do This—Get the
Greatest Benefits
Chicago, Ill.—Thousands of reports
from people all over the U. S. who
have tested Eatonlc, show the greatest
benefits are obtained by using It for a
few weeks, taking one or two tablets
after each meal.
Eatonlc users know that It stops
Belchlug, Bloating, Heartburn, and
Stomach Miseries quickly, but the
really lasting benefits are obtained by
using Eatonlc long enough to take the
harmful excess acids and gases entire
ly out of the system. This requires a
little time, foi Eatonlc takes up the
excess acidity and poisons and carries
them out of the body and of course,
when It Is all removed, the sufferer gets
well, feels flne-r-full of life and pep.
If you have been taking an Eatonlc
now and then, be sure and take It regu
larly for a time and obtain fill of these
wonderful benefits. Please speak to
your druggist about this, so that he can
tell others that need this help. Adv.

The Spirits Were Cuttin’ Up.
An aged chief of the Sauteau tribe
lay in his tepee, the cold sweat of
death on his forehead. His glassy
eyes -gazed into vacancy, and recog
nized not any of the walling women
nearby. Then, suddenly, the grim,
war-scarred face lit up with an eager
joy, and he cried: “I see ’em.”
“See what?” queried one.
“See ’em spirits,” replied the dying
chief.
“What they doin’?”
"Drinking tea and Jigging.”

Two men In high boots and hunting
costumes, each with a rifle upon his
shoulder, had just waded across Yel
low Creek, at a point where there were
rocks to aid them, and a firm, sandy
bottom, with uo slippery mud.
One slightly In advance of the other,
they came upon wfiat appeared to be
a narrow, but unusually hard, smooth
beach.
Suddenly the one in front stumbled
slightly and stopped, his feet spread
apart In a peculiar attitude.
“Look out l” he cried.
“What’s the matter?” asked the oth
er, stepping up to his side.
He needed no reply to this question,
however. He also slipped In the sumo
queer fashion.
“See If you can step back,” said the
younger of the two men.
The other made a determined effort
to lift first one foot, and then the oth
er, but only succeeded in sinking them
both deeper Into the treacherous,
harmless looking sand.
“I can’t lift either foot,” he panted.
“See what you can do.”
The younger man made nn equally
futile attempt. His feet seemed as If
held In a vise, soft and yielding, hut
stronger than steel.
“It’s no use.” he said. And then,
with a sudden access of terror: “Look!
'It’s almost up to my knees—the sticky,
slimy stuff I”
Ills lips twitched and drops of per
spiration stood upon his forehead.
“It, is up to my knees,” said the
other. "It’s—something’s pulling at
my feet I” His voice rose almost to
a shriek. "Let me go i I— Oil—”
The younger man had straightened
liiiuself up, and as he watched his com
panion the look of terror on Ills own
face changed, and some of his color
returned. Ilia lips ceased to tremble,
and a determined look came into ills
eyes. Grasping the other by the arm,
and shaking him roughly, lie said:
“Stop that! Stop it, I say. We
musn’t lose our nerve now. We’ve got
to think quickly. Every second we
stund here we’re sinking deeper. It’s
up to us. This is no time to gel
scared.”
“That’s right,” agreed the older man,
controlling himself with nn evident ef
fort. “Geo!” he added, passing hl£
hand across his face, “I nearly went
off my trolley for n minute.”
“Don’t give up.” encouraged the oth
er. “There ought to be some way out
of this.”
?, His boyish face woreT pteufteiCpro-
tostiug frown, ns if he refused to be
lieve that his life was about to lie cut
off in this sudden, cruel fashion.
"Look here,” he exclaimed after a
moment’s thought. “We’re n couple of
fools. These riiles ate weighting us
down.”
They both tossed their weapons, and
all other articles of any weight, Includ
ing their coats and huts, upon the bank
in front of them—the good, solid, hon
est ground, scarcely ten feet away.
From the grass-covered bank their
gaze traveled on to the field, and then
to the woods and hills beyond. Hills
which they had wandered over and ex
plored together as boys, and to whMi
they had returned every autumn for
several years, to hunt and fish, ns they
had been doing that day.
From the shadow of the nearer hills
rose columns of blue smoke, indicating
the location of iho little ylllage of Wild
Rose, toward which they had been re
turning.
Something must lie done. Already
the slippery, oozing sand hod reached
their knees, and was gradually crawl
ing higher and higher.
“Good heavens, isn’t there something
we can do?” said the shorter man.
“Maybe you could lift me out," said |
Ids younger oomptfeion. “You are |
very strong. If I could get over to I he
bank I could reach out one of the guns
for you to take hold of and drag
you out.”
Without a word the shorter man
leaned over and grasped the other
about the legs, straining every muscle
until his face turned purple with the
effort and the veins stood out on his
forehead until It seemed as if they
must burst.
lie succeeded only in burying ids
own feet a little deeper in the merci
less sand.
“No use,” he admitted.us he straight
ened up, ids chest heaving like a bel
lows. “I can’t budge you.”
Then ids face, which had been con
torted with fear, assumed a crafty
look. He looked ut his companion
with calculating eyes.
“I’ve got an Idea thut might save
one of us,” he said. “There’s no use
in both of us going under, If one can
be saved, Is there?”
- Ills face flushed, and he looked away
as he made the suggestion.
“No, I suppose not,” answered the
boy.
“Well, then,” the other continued,
still looking away, “this is the idea:
If one of us threw himself forward,
face down, on the beach here, ihe other
could probably climb over him and get
to the bank. *
“'“It’s a chance, and the one who acts
as the human bridge Is a goner sure.
But we’ll both go down In a few min
utes, and smother like rats, If we don’t
try something.”
**I see,” said the younger mnn. n lit
tle coldly. “But who— We’re friends,
of course, and have been for years,
and all that, hut it’s a good deal of a
sacrifice.”
“I’m not asking you N> be a hero,”
said the other nastily. *‘We’ll toss a
coin for It. And don’t let’s do any
more arguing. We’re wasting valuable
time.”
“All right,” agreed the young fellow.
“I’m game, If you think It’s the only
way for one of us to be saved.”
“Have you any better Idea to offer?”
“No.”
“Then come on.”
They both felt In their pockets for
coins.
“I was always pretty lucky at any
kind of gambling,” muttered the older
man.
He lmd not meant to speak this
thought aloud. There was no more to
he said, and each drew a coin from
l»is pocket, tossed it Into the air, and
caught it between closed hands.
“Heads," said the younger mnn
calmly.
His eyes bulging with excitement,

and looked. His coin had also fallen

flushed, as if ashamed of his evident
gladness.
"Yes, you win,” said his companion,
dropping his coin cnrelessly into the
sand. Again they eyed each other, ns
If they wore strangers, instead of life
long friends.
“All right," said the loser of the
toss suddenly. “I’ll make good, but
I’ve got just one favor to ask of you
before I take the plunge. You’ll grant
mo Just one favor, won’t you, old
man?” .
“Sure—certainly,” snid the boy, fool
ing very cowardly and ashamed. “Any
thing you ask, of course.”
“All right. I just want you to take
a message to Violet Wellwood for me.
I haven't time to write it. We’ve got
to hurry. But, you see, last night she
promised to marry me.
“It’s pretty hard to go now, just
when life was beginning to be really
worth while. Just when I was begin
ning to know real happiness. You un
derstand, don’t you, old man?"
If the younger fellow’s face had been
haggard uml frightened before, it was
nothing to the dull, hurt,.hopeless look
which now came into his eyes, lie
stared at Ills friend stupidly, as If-he
was not sun* In* had heard correctly.
“You say she—Violet Wellwood—
promised to marry you?” he n.fked.
“Yes. I didn’t know exactly how to
tell you about it before, for I knew
you were fond of her, tno. But now—
Well, you’ll have a clear field now.”
“You’re not joking, are you?"
“Joking?” cried the older man, an if
shocked at the idea. “Is this a time
for jokes? Or is that a; subject to be
joked about?”
“No, no. Of course not.”
“Well, then, please go and see Violet
at onCe, as soon as ycifi get back to
town, and break the news gently to
her. Tell her I—”
“Stop!” cried the boy, his face twist
ed with the hurt of it. “Stop! I can’t
stand Hint. I’m to break the news
gently to her, am I? To her!” He
laughed wildly. “Man, do you sup
pose I want to live now?" .. j
lie did not see the other’s crafty
smile, quickly hidden.
“So," lie went on, “I am to tell her
that the man she loves— Did she tell
you she loved you last night?”
“Of course.” said tho other.
“Well, then, she •can have you.” he
cried boyisldy. “Now listen. You’ll
lake .i message to her from me. Un-
derslnnd? Tell her^~”
He paused, and the anger died out-
of Ills face, leaving only the hopeless
misery.
“Oh, never mind,” lie said, and be
fore ills companion could have moved
to prevent him, if he had entertained
any such intention, the hoy threw him
self forward and lay fiat on ids face
in the quicksand.
The older man gave himself no time
to think of what lie lmd done, but
managed, with some difficulty,, tp
utilize the slender, prostrate form of
his friend as a bridge, upon which he
found footing.
once his feet were pried out or the
clinging sand lie found little difficulty
in leaping to the solid imnk from the
hoy’s shoulders.
Having at Inst reached safety, he
stood for a moment, ns if dazed. Then,
ns a full realization of his own coward
ice came over him, he turned swiftly
and begun to make frantic efforts to
reach the prostrate form of tin* other.
Already the oozing sand had almost
covered the boy, the man at last man
aged to get a grip on the collar of the
hoy’s flannel shirt. But quicksand
does not give up Its prey easily.
Ih» only succeeded in tearing the
boy’s collar loose from his throat, fall
ing back upon the grass when the
cloth gave way. When he leaned for
ward again, the soft, yellow beach was
closely smoothly over the sinking
form of the hoy who had been his
friend.
Suddenly lie heard hoof-beats of a
horse upon the soft turf behind him,
and. turning quickly, he saw a young
girl galloping toward him.
She rode astride, and bareheaded,
her thick, brown hair flying In the
breeze.
pulling her mount up almost beside
the man, she smiled down at him.
“Hallo. Jim!” she snid. “Where’s
Fred ?”
“Violet," he began. “Miss Well
wood—”
But he could get no further, and he
could not look at her.
Swallowing hard, he made several
attempts to speak, and then, cringing
like a dog before her steady, astonish
ed gaze, lie turned and fled precipi
tately across the field.
