“FIDDLE-FIT”

Keep Liver and Bowels Clean and Active with “Cascarets”

Sick headache, biliousness?, coated tongue, sour, gassy stomach —always trace this to torpid liver; delayed, fermenting food in the bowels. Poisonous matter clogged in the intestines. instead of being cast out of the system is reabsorbed into the blood._ When this poison reaches the delicate brain tissue it causes congestion and that dull, throbbing, sickening headache. Cascarets immediately cleanse the stomach, remove the sour, undigested food and foul gases, take the excess bile from the liver and carry out all the constipated waste matter and poisons in the bowels. A Cascaret tonight will have you feeling clear, rosy and as fit as a fiddle by morning. They work while you sleep.— Adv.

He scraped away the loos,- earth rather gingerly to a depth of 12 inches and uncovered a goodsized bag. He ripped the bag open. Naked, brown and wrinkled and apparently dead a baby girl lay in the chief's broad hands. Rob Trimball says that the chief uttered something that sounded like a gulp and ran down the back street with the midget in his hands two blocks to the home of Dr. George L. Tobey. Doctor Tobey gave the little thing a couple of slaps and .turned it over once or twice. A thin wail issued from the baby’s mouth and the transparent eyelids opened. ? ,

Chinese Have the Devil of a Time at a Funeral finished a bad second the other day in a race against tin automobile hearse from the loop to RosehLU cemetery. In the hearse was the body of Lee Lan Seu Other occupants were Louis

Sing, Lee Si Wing and Lee Yen Ny. They went along to prevent the devil from overtaking the hearse. Ten thousand small strips of paper, each of which contained nine ijerfonitions, were thrown from the hearse and cast to the winds by Sing and his companions. According to Chinese btdlfTjtTie'deviihacl to gather up every one of the 10.tM.Kl strips of paper and crawl through each little hole in order to catch Lee Lan Seu. Did he catch him-? Louis Sing

says the burial ceremonies were over with and he on the way naca irom the cemetery when he passed the devil at North avenue, still gathering up slips of paper in Lincoln park. “If you get the body in the ground.” said Louis, “and the grave covered up before the devil gets there, everything is all right. We buried Lee Lan, burned incense over the -grave, and left him with a small roast pig. He sure go to heaven.” Lee Lan Seu was saved from the potter's field by a collection taken up by his countrvmen to defray funeral expenses. He was seventy years old. and had lived in Chicago half his life. Once he was a well-to-do merchant. He had lived off the last ten or fifteen'years. ‘Gambling‘with him was a passion. His many exploits of twenty odd years ago were the talk of every Chinaman in town, and also of colored and white gamblers.

THE RESULT

By MILDRED WHITE.

“She doesn’t think I’m worth a pleasant word,” Richard bewailed, “and I love her to distraction.” Fan’s elder sister smiled. i “Fan usually appreciates what others prize,” she suggested meaningly. “You think,” the lover asked, “that I ought to go about flirting with other girls in order to win Fan’s favor? VVell —I can’t. Besides the other girls might not be so impressionable,” “Charming modesty,” Eleanor laughed, but She realized the truth of the statement. “It is strange,” she said, “how all men young and old, flock about my little Fan. Of course, she is the dear-, est girl In the world, but she treats them all so mockingly, one would think they’d resent It. Her young heart has not „yet been awakened, Dicky,-and you have as good a chance as any. I have told you—Fan always desires the unobtainable. If you could make her Just a bit jealous ” “Of whom?” the man asked brusquely. Eleanor considered. Girls were Inexplicable creatures. Far be it from herself to bring upon this earnest friend the reproach of a broken heart. Richard broke, the silence. “I know,” he said, “great idea, if you will coincide. You shaft be the of my apparent adoration, Nell; I’ll make love to you under Fan’s saucy nose, and 4f she should become jealous we will take it for a sign.’ “Me!” Eleapor gqsped. “Oh! she wouldn’t be jealous of me. Dicky. I m too old, older even than you.” “By a few months,” the man answered calmly, “and not observable to the other’s eyes. You are safest guess, Nell. When the game is over you *can knitting. Eleanor gazed down at the colored wool in her hands. Something in the careless femark saddened her. Always, it seemed, that had been her lot. After the game was over—she returned to her knitting. At Fan’s age she had been as gay and popular as she, but the merry game had not lasted long, for the arms of her small orphaned sister had reached out to her demanding loving protection. And Eleanor had not failed in the giving. She wondered now wistfully, if Fan might not laugh at the very thought of herself as a rival. “You cannot object if you would,” Richard said, “I am determined to be your adoring slave. A certain red-gold head appears on the horizon. Kindly unwind this wool from my trembling fingers.” Eleanor laughed. Dicky had posed ridiculously at her feet with the crimson wool stretched between his haijds. Obediently she began to unwind, as he watched her. The intentness of his gaze brought a flush to Eleanor’s cheek; it was an amusing game, the elder sister desperately restraining a girlish giggle as Fan came suddenly upon them. • “I want,” Fan began promptly, “to go in my boat; please, get it for me, Dicky.” “Can’t,” Richard absently murmured. “Have to help N*ell with this wool; afterward she’s "going to show me the view from the ridge.” The young girl’s eyes widened. - “You .mean,” she asked, “that youdon’t want to go with me?” ■“N'ot exactly that,” Richard replied apologetically. was evidently embarrassed ; “Nell asked me first, you £00—” “Oh! all right,” Fan answered airily. “Bobby will be glad to take me.” ’ She-was humming a tune as she left them, but the glance she threw at her sister was inquiring. Eleanor seemed happily oblivious. Throughout days which followed, the elder sister often found that inquiring glance bent upon her. Richard persistently played his part. He formed a habit of reading aloud to Eleanor afternoons in a nook on the shore, plainly discernible from the bathing spot which Fan and her admirers , frequented. s# The ■'game grew in interest-arid excitement. When the younger sister was absent they discussed in secret enjoyment her fancied symptoms of jealousy. Then one day Eleanor came to meet Richard vaguely troubled. “Fan 4s with that Bobby person all the time.” she said. “I thought at first that she was trying merely to pay you back in your own coin. But Bobby’s a winsome lad. You’d better go back to .her, Dicky, before it‘is too late.” So Richard went to take up his old allegiance. Fan proved strangely disappointing. 'He had never before realized her lack of appreciation for literature. He and Nell had so enjoyed those old books together, and Fan was frankly disinterested in his work. Nell had grasped with wonderful intuition the details of his business. Swimming band motoring were all right in their wjay, ljut one couldn't be dragged about in that sort of foolishness forever, he reflected; so for comfort Richard went back to the elder sister. “I’m sorry for you Dicky, so sorry!” Nell began sympathetically. “Fan is ( actually engaged to Bobby.” “Thank goodness!” Richaril was startled to hear himself exclaim. He’ paused. A red golden head showed in a dborway. “I knew that you and Eleanor were meant for each other,” triumphed, the owner of the head. “But you were both so dreadfully slow—in finding it out/' (Copyright, 1919; by the Western New** paper Union.)

NO LONGER MISTRESS OF SEAS

Great Britain's Supremacy Passing Into New Hands, Says Na- - val Experts In Great Britain fear is being felt that the trident of the ocean is passing into new hands. This at least is the note sounded by Archibald Hurd, the .naval expert, writing in the London Daily Telegraph. “It is an arresting fact,” he says, “that, judged by the strength of its ba t tie sq uadrons ~in active com mission, this country’s supremacy has at least temporarily passed away. “The United States has now in'commission 31 battleships, and Washingington plans to have 20 next year, the” reduction tn 'tfhmber being balanced by the increased power of some of the ships now approaching completion. “We have in a similar state of readiness 22 battleships and five cruisers, and, in accordance with the order published with reference to reduction to a reserve basis, our instantly ready battle force will fall at an early date to 1€ ships, 10 of them forming the Atlantic fleet and the other six cruising in the Mediterranean. It may be somewhat of an affront to our national pride that we should have reached this secondary position at sea.” Mr. Hurd consoles himself with the reflection that the British admiralty is saving money.

An Abuse.

Cornelius Vanderbilt said at a dinner party in Newport; “A number of Fifth avenue firms have ceased to give free samples of dress materials to their lady patrons. “It appears,” Mr. Vanderbilt added, “that certain ultra-fashionable lady patrons would secure a free sample of dress material and make an evening gown of it.” Humanity divides into two classes. One has too much to do, and the other hasn’t enough. t * There are as many ways to win a woman’s Jieart as there are women.

Origin of “Tommy."

The English Tommy is no stranger. The custom was in England at one time to supply every British soldier with a small pocket manual. In it were entered the name, age, date of enlistment, the length of service, the wounds and the medals of honor of the individual soldier. The war office in sending out forms for information used the hypothetical name “Tommy Atkins,” just as we might have said “John Smith” in America. In this way “Tommy Atkins” eame to designate the English soldier. It happened in the same way that “Jack Tar” came to designate any British sailor. v

He/ just out of high school, and she out of high school also. “So,” he said, beginning the conversation, “you are from Indiana?” “You're mighty right,” she answered. “Hoosier girl.” He stuttered and stammered. “Why —er —really—” he said, “that I don’t know —I mean I haven't decided yet, who.”
