Cured His RUPTURE
I was badly ruptured while lifting a trunk several years ago. Doctors said my only hope of cure was an operation. Trusses did me no good. Finally I got hold of something that quickly and completely cured me. Years have passed and the rupture has never returned, although I am doing hard work as a carpenter. There was no operation, no lost time, no trouble. I have nothing to sell, but will give full information about how you may nd a complete cure without operation, if you write to me, Eugene M. Pullen, Cai-penter, 58G Mar-cellus Avenue, Manasquan, N. J. Better cut out this notice and sho™ it to any others who are ruptured—you may save a life or at least stop the misery of rwrture and the worry and danger of an operation.—Adv.

terby, ushering in before her the impeccably gowned Miss Dobbs.
“Could you tell me why you have discharged _ Miss Maltby?” demanded the latter ignoring a profferred chair and speaking in tones of ice.
“I believe,” said Eastwood urbanely, glancing significantly at the clock, “that Miss Maltby was incompetent. She ridiculed your taste, did she not?” “Who_ has a better right ? ” was the astounding and indignant rejoinder. “She is the oldest and I’ve always let her pick and choose for me. We scrap about things, but Max always wins out. I told her not to come here—! there were other stores where she could have got an insight into the business.”
“I’m afraid I don’t quite understand.”
“Your fears are well-grounded. If Max takes charge of this dump when papa gets possession—”
Eastwood had a rare flash of perception and spoke with great courtesy.
“I had heard rumors that your father wanted to buy Gacy’s, but I did not know that the sale had been consummated. Am I right in inferring that Miss Maltby is—”
“My sister, Maxine Maltby Dobbs,” said Miss Dobbs with a benignant and pitying smile. “She got a fool notion she ought to learn the business herself, and when she takes a thing into her head there’s no budging her. Once she says she’ll do a thing that’s the end of it.”
“I hope you’re right,” said East-wood with a slight gulp. “She promised to be my wife only this morning.
I felt so bad about having to discharge her that I got her a job in the Regent quick lunch.”
“Papa’s bought that, too, to add to his chain of restaurants, and I’ll bet Max is giving it the once over for him. She’s been kidding you, Mr. Logwood.”
“Eastwood, please; your sister is going to have some trouble getting rid of the name and you may as well get it right.”
“Does she?” laughed Miss Dobbs. “Not yet,” quoth Eastwood evenly, “but she will. If you’ll pardon me I’ll get her on the phone. I promised to be at the Regent at noon.”
Eastwood got the Regent and, after a short wait, Miss Maxine Maltby Dobbs.
“Your sister is here, Maxine,” he said calmly. “After the disclosures she has made I’m a little up in the air. Before I had the temerity to put you to work you said you were a good sport, and your sister says that when you say you’ll do a thing that’s the end of it.”
“Helen knows me,” said the glorious voice over the wire. “I’m coming right up there, Mr. Northwood, so make Helen wait for me.”
“Get the name right, dearest; it will be yours soon.”
“Until then I can play all I want with it, Mr. Touchwood. Hold Helen.” But John Eastwood refused to obey that injunction—literally. And when Helen left for home he was holding Maxine, brazenly, tenderly, his whole soul in his eyes.
fend him against the charge of being a tyrant and oppressor.
“I want you to come with me to a friend of mine,” he babbled. “He is the proprietor of a quick lunch restaurant and he needs a girl like you. Besides, I’m responsible for your being out of work and I feel in a measure that I’d be to blame if anything were to—that is, it is up to me to get you some kind of a job. You couldn’t have been in the workaday world very long or you wouldn’t have entered Gacy’s with a face like------”
“A letter from home—reminds ydu of air, woodland and red barns, I dare say,” interjected the irrepressible Miss Maltby. “Well, I’m not from the country, though I admit I’m almost all that you think I am—an ignorant failure, impoverished and desperate. I can meet the exigencies of life with philosophy; I can play the game without boasting or whining. In fine, I’m a good sport.”
“And so am I. You must come with me, Miss Maltby. I’ve thrown you out of work; now let me put you in the way of a job. I won’t leave you until I have found a place for you.”
He thought he detected an uneon-fessed approval of his stand, but when she spoke he was filled with uncertainty again.
“While you are theatrical, embar-assing and picturesque,” she laughed musically, “I think you are upright, kind-hearted and well-meaning•. So lead on, Macduff, and darned be you if you don’t land me a good job!”
Eastwood went hack to his office beaming with self-approval. Miss Maltby had accepted a job as waitress in the Regent quick lunch and promised to report for duty in the morning. She denied with emphasis that she had any thought of disappointing her new employer; she laughed at the very idea and Eastwood, looking intently in her eyes, echoed her merriment.
Sleep would not come to Eastwood that night, and it took a hook to beguile the tedious hours until morning. With the dawn a calmness settled on his spirit, dispelling the curious and inexplicable uneasiness that had robbed him of a night’s rest.
When the big, bright, glaring, bustling Regent opened its door East-wood was the first customer, and long after the breakfast rush was over he remained in continuous and undeviating converse with Maxine Maltby. When he finally made for his office he wore a fleeting and furtive air of triumph.
The noon hour seemed to stubbornly recede as the morning wore on. He awaited it with painful nervousness, his thoughts dwelling on the never-ceasing rattle of crockery, the scraping of feet over tiled floors, the sizzling steam from the coffee urns and the hum from the throats of hungry humans talking with their mouths full. It was a granel place to work, he felt certain, and a perfect carnival of fun. He caught himse’f trying to imagine what he would look like in white cap and apron, shouting “Wheat, ham, and draw one!”

THE man who is worthy of being a leader of men will never complain of the stupidity of his helpers, of the ingratitude of mankind, nor of the inappreciation of the public. These things are all a part of the great game of life, and to meet them and not go down before them in discouragement and defeat is the final proof of power.

SIMPLE MIXTURE MAKES HENS LAY
By W. S. Burgess
Any poultry raiser can greatly increase his profits, easily and quickly by taking advantage of the 35 years’ experience of a successful poultryman.
A life long study of egg production has resulted in a secret formula of buttermilk and other valuable ingredients that puts pep into lazy hens. Users report increases of two to seven times as many eggs.
This secret formula is now put up in tablet form and is called Combs’ Buttermilk Compound Tablets. Simply feed in water or mix with feed.
I am so convinced that this wonderful formula is always successful that I say kill the hen that won’t lay after using it.
One million new users are wanted, so. for a limited time any reader of this paper can get a big double size box (enough for a season) on free trial by simply writing for it. Send no money. Use the tablets 30 days; if at the end of that time your hens are not laying 2 or 3 times as many eggs; if you are not more than satisfied in every way the tablets are to cost you. nothing. If completely satisfied this big double size box costs you only $1.00 on this introductory offer. Simply send name—post card will do—to Milk Products Co., 134 Creamery Bldg., Kansas City, Mo., and the big box of tablets will be mailed immediately, post paid.—Adv.
