A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN Miss Kelly Tells How Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound Restored Her Health. Newark, N. J.—“ For about three years I suffered from nervous break- , , . | down and got so - I H iJtsaSfi weak 1 could hardly f| jjßgSpfcft stand, and had headfHi aches every day.

From the first •>\// 1j \ day I took it I began A t° feel better and \ now I am well and able to do most any kind of work. I have been recomv '■ r \r mending the Compound ever since and give you my permission to publish this letter.”—Miss Flo Kelly, 476 So. 14th St., Newark, N. J. The reason this famous root and herb remedy, Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, was so successful in Miss Kelly’s case was because it went to the root of her trouble, restored her to a normal healthy condition and as a result her nervousness disappeared.

Author, at His Wit’s End for Plot, Got Excellent—hfea Frpm Mis Better Half. How the idea of a new book was suggested in an unexpected manner to the author is told by William J. Locke in “TheJßough Hoad.” “One evening a couple of months after I had finished ‘The Red Planet,’ that this time I really had come to the end of things and would never again have the ghost of an idea for another book, when my wife, who was sitting on the divan in the drawing room playing unconcernedly with our little Pekinese —she had heard this cry of wolf so many times before —addressed this little beast —I love him dearly, by the way—in the maudlin tone of which we both are guilty: ‘Why doesn’t he write a nice “book about you, darling?’ Whereupon—L clapped my hand to toFehead and cried : 1 ! wilii I’H write a story" aburrt" a man brought up like that dog and pitched into the war!’ And I went straight Into my study and set to work on the scheme.”

A Recluse and Queer

By S. B. HACKLEY

(Copyright, 1919, by tho McClure Newepaper Syndicate.) “How would it do' to Invite Nathe Craft over to see Miss Roberta, Ma(mie?” Jim Leverance, in the saddle, looked Inquiringly at his wife, who had just left her newly arrived guest. “Mercy, Jim! Bert would marry him right out of hand! Dora's entertaining her at 12 o’clock lunch tomorrow, and she doesn’t want him to drop in and meet Bert and the other girls she’s invited. Can’t you get him off to town tomorrow afternoon on somepretext?” —“I guess I can get hiin to drive In and get that piece of freight we ordered together; but, say, Mame, don’t you think you girls are exceeding your rights?” ** “Oh, hush, Jimmy boy!” Mamie cried lightly. “We are safeguarding little Nathe’s interests!” Jim’s snort was not complimentary to their sense of justice. They, his wife and all his wife’s people —since Dora, the youngest Hunter girl, had married Burrell Craft, the younger of the two bachelor brothers, who, together, owned a thousand acres of the richest land in the Blue Grass, and raised blooded horses and cattle for the market —seemed obsessed with the fear of Nathan’s marrying. When the Hunters, newcomers, discoveredthe two bashful bachelors, pretty Dora had annexed Burrell skillfully. There had been no other “daughter - for Nathan/and after the advent of Dora’s little boy, the family, seeing a possibility of the child’s being some time heir to his uncle’s share of the farm, had determined nobody else’s daughter should “capture” Nathan. When Burrell married, Nathan very sensibly took his cases of insects and moved into a big, comfortable log house on. the back of the farm and gave the big red brick home up to his new sister-in-law —a most pleasing arrangement to the Hunter family. Nathan, living alone in his own house, a bit isolated, could be kept from meeting their unmarried women guests. “Mamie’s a dear, and Dora’s good to Burrell,” Leverance mused as he rode off. “I call It rottea-they donitwnnt to see old Nathe, the most affectionate fellow in the world, happy with a woman, too! They have even filled Burr’s head with the advisability of keeping Nathe single. That —that’s getting within a man’s rights! Well, I promised to send him off ten miles tomorrow, but, darn it, I feel mpan!” The next day Nathan Craft, at the station, stepped into the danger zone Jim wished him to enter. An erect elderly lady with very white hair and very black eyes spoke to him. Did he know of a small cottage In the country and somewhat isolated from the road she could rent until September? Her daughter, Miss Hagar McNaught, a teacher, had been ill, and was ordered to the country. When she introduced the daughter, a graceful girl with particularly beautiful black eyes, Nathap felt that fate could hold nothing better in store for him than to allow him to take this winsome creature in his arms and carry her through life! Yes, he knew of such a place, a small stohe cottage <m _tMj*iyc!Lcilffr Xohodv was living in it hut it was in. goodrepair. This house- (whichffict he did not mention) was on the five miles distant cliff on which he spent every Sunday afternoon in summer with his butterfly net. A man had committed suicide there some years before, but Nathan withheld this fact also. If they knew nothing of the unhappy story the cliff would be an ideal resting place. Three days after, on Sunday afternoon, Nathan took his butterfly net and set out for Read’s cliff.- Under the seat of his runabout he slipped w ? hfle Shadrach, tils negro cook, was not looking, a peck basket of yellowfoot of the cliff Nathan secured - his horse, and with a strangely beating heart, climbed the rugged path. Back of the cluster of cedars that stood between the path and the cottage he paused uncertainly. Then he heard voices. “Oh, mother, isn’t it beautiful here? That nice man that spnt us here—don’t you love him, mother dear?” This came clear through the cedars. Nathan’s foot struck a stone noisily. He could only go on. “Good afternoon 1” he stammered. “I was passing by and I remembered there Vwas no fruit here —I have brought you a few peaches!” And the cliff was covered with ripening blackberries! They greeted him with gentle friendliness and after a while walked with him down the river path where the butterflies hung over the fire pinks. With his hobby before him Nathan f fprgot his shyness. His clear brown eyes grew brilliant In his enthusiastic explanations, and Hagar—Hagar wondered if the supper they had prepared was good enough to ask him to sit down to. She wanted him to stay. If was not until sunset that he took reluctant leave. “Once in a while,” he prevaricated, "1 get over here in the middle of the week, as well as on Sunday, with my .butterfly nets, and I’d be glad to bring vou bears, apples, etc., any time I hap-

THE EVENING REPUBLICAN, RENSSELAER, IND. y

Miss Gardiner stayed a month with Mamie Leverance, but not once did she see Nathan Craft, whom, whenever mentioned, Mamie contrived to speak of as a/‘recluse, and too queer to talk ‘ about, Bert!” After Roberta, who was of the “marrying sort,” left Mamie breathed freely again until Jim’s f cousins, Mina Pleen and Harriet Cable, came for another month. Politeness required that they be entertained at Dora Craft’s at dinners and tenpis parties, and when a function was on, Burrell (somewhat protestingly) took the baby over to see Nathan at his cottage (a visitation that Nathan loved), thus forestalling uuy possible disastrous "meetings of" husband seekers. I Hut despite Burrell’s aid both Dora and Mamie trembled until the girls leftdestthey should “discover” the “recluse.” When Burrell’s auto took his visitors to the train the sisters openly rejoiced. “Keeping them off Nathe’s p-ntt—n*-enough to give auy one a brain storm!” declared Dora. “I told them cvcrytliing under the sun, both truth and fiction. 1 all but told them he was odd to insanity, but you never can trust women to believe you ou that subject.” “But I must say, Dora,” her sister interposed, “Nathe has kept himself in the background more beautifully than I ever knew him. He rode by our house occasionally, but he never so much as looked toward the girls. And I never saw him look so well as he does this summer —he’s got positively good looking, Dora,” she ended regretfully. “He gets crazily happy every summer over his insects, the boob!” Dora with liis nets three afternoons a* week now, nn<l hns even bought a canoe and taken it somewhere over on the river where he makes Ins catches. I guess Tie catches dragon flies from that!” “Well, the summer’s over and we can breathe freely again for a while I” Mamie reiterated. At th£t precise moment, while Mrs. McNaught fried the fish Nathan *hd Hagar had caught in the- river that afternoon, Nathan —a glorified Nathan, and Hagar, an eager-eyed, radiant Hagar—sat out under the fragrant cedars. “Next month is October,” he was saying, “ a beautiful month to be married in—can’t you be ready by the 20th, dear heart?” One afternoon, late in October, Nathan asked Jim Leverance to go with him to witness his marriage. “I want you to keep it secret, though, Leverance, until you got bac-k,” he told that gleeful worthy; *1 want to surprise the folks! Think they’ll be?” “You bet they will!” Jim’s shout was triumphant. “Man—man—l con* gratulate you a thousand times! I love to see a fellow exercise his rights!”

DISLIKES BADGE OF BEAUTY

Modern Man Apparently Not Reconciled to That Idea of His Projecting “Adam’s Apple.” Man’s badge of beauty and braids is his Adam’s apple, that projection in the fore part of the neck which has been so called, from the notion that it was caused by a bit of the forbidden fruit which stuck in Adam’s tliroati Scientists have many theories on the subject, and have told a long story of the evolution of the apple—how man came by long descent from ill-formed, spineless things that came into life by chemical action. Then came fish, which, as soom as they got backbones, hQ irnV tn ’ something like, forms of the ancient keas are believed to have come Ihe mammaTff from which sprang the human race. It is a long story, but the fact remains that as the human race developed and became more civilized the Adam’s apple ip man became more prominent. The ancient Greeks depicted their strong heroes and highest types of beauty with prominent "apples,” although modern artists and sculptors rather Ignore it in their works. As a matter of fact, the wearing of high stocks and collars would sepm to point to the fact that man is not altogether proud of displaying his badge of beauty.

Two Sides of Japan.

A remarkable difference exists between the climates of western and central Japan, so much so that these districts are distinguished by the names of Sanindo —shady side and Sanyodo—sunny side, respectively. During the long and rigorous winter of western Japan the central province, bordering on the inland sea, enjoys dry and. comparatively mild weather. The two regions and the factors determining their climatic conditions are distinct. A Japanese writer says that while the winter climate of central and southern Japan depends on the southwestern monsoons, that of the western coast is directly related to the barometric area of north China.

Imitations Are Dangerous. AN OHIO druggist writes to "The Practical Druggist,” a prominent New York /v j) m g Journal, as follows: “Please furnish formula for Castoria. All the formulas I have worked with are either ineffective disagreeable to administer** To this “The Practical Druggist” replies: “We'do not supply formulas for proprietary articles* We couldn*t if we wanted to* Your experience with imitative formulas is not surprising, but just what is to be expected. When Castoria is wanted, why not supply the genuine? If you make a substitute, it is not fair or right to label it Castoria. We can give you all sorts of laxative preparations for children, but not Castoria, and we think a mother who asks for Castoria would not feel kindly toward you if you gave her your own product under such a name.” No mother with a spark of affection for her child win overlook the signature of Chas. H. Fletcher when buying Castoria. R=— ■ Children Cry For Mothers Must Use Care. Why do we so often call your attention to imitations of Fletcher** dangerous, particularly imitations of a remedy for infants. Your drugget may not keep an imitation but they are to be found on drug-store shelves. Reliable druggists think only of the welfare of their customers.

Your own judgment tells you that Fletcher’s Castoria having for over thirty years at great expense held up its reputation, must jealously guard it. Then, it follows that this company must use the very best of material. Must employ experts in the selection of the herbs. Must retain skilled chemists in its manufacture. Your same good judgment must tell you that these irresponsible imitators are trading on your credulity and the reputation built up by Mr. Fletcher, during all these years, for his Castoria.
