OTHERS CAN GIVE YOU MENTAL INDIGESTION Wife Writes How Neighbor Is Poisoning Her Mind With Idle Gossip. By Martha Lee Tune in on the radio of everyday living and get the joy tfiat’s coming your way. -That’s one of the nice things about life —have you discovered it?—that you can dial out much that you don t want to be entertained (?) with.

I know an extremely successful salesman who persistently “dials out” tales of woe that his customers regularly plump down upon him. When they bewail unseemly breather, or bad business conditions or she what-not of trade conversation, -lie doesn’t argue (you wouldn’t with radio either!) He adroitly and pleasantly turns the conversation into other channels. His sales records are wonders, and there’s no doubt that he leaves the other fellow feeling brighter and more optimistic. It takes practice to “dial out” as accurately as that, but everybody can acquire the habit. So, if you want to help yourself and the other fellow, don’t encourage his “static.” Help him to change the program that lie’s cluttering up the air Avith. Makes Her Unhappy . Dear Martha Lee: I am a bride and was married last November. We have a dear little home and I would be perfectly happy it it wasn't for a neighbor avho .omes in right after she gets her breakfast work done and talks for hours. I never heard so much gossip in my life and as the woman is of a A-ery sour turn nf mind. I find that much that she says (especially about husbands) is affecting me. Her husband and mine work at the same place, and I can't very well offend her. I don't think this is good for me. do you? Sometimes lately I’ve had cry",K SDe " 9 ’ ' MRS. L. C. B. No more would I endure this, if I were you, than I Avould endure having umvholesome elements put into my food. The thoughts we take in are the food of our minds, and you simply can’t afford to have this mental trash brought to you. Before taking any radical stand, though, see if you can’t gently bring her to see that her “line” is obnoxious to you. If you can’t —well, do the next best thing, even of, it means a break in your neighborliness. She Jilted Him Dear Martha Lee: AVhile serving with the U. S. naval forces in a southern city. I met the only girl who ever mattered in my life. Later. I proposed and was accepted After I was discharged, she seemed to suddenly change her mind and asked me to wait awhile. I did—for four years. But about a month ago. she wrote that she was ready to settle down. I ansAvered and said I thought we had waited long enough. A few days ago. I got a letter saying she was married that day to another man. Do you think she has treated me right, encouraging me all this time? DISCOURAGED A. L. F. Xo, I think she has acted very cruelly, but in spite of appearances, it may not have been as premeditated as it looks. Perhaps when she wrote you a month ago, she hadn’t an idea of marrying this other man. Personally, I think you’re lucky to have missed getting a woman who is as changeable and erratic as this one has seemed. He Wants a Divorce Deal Martha Lee: My husband has left me ana' wi’l not tell me why. He refuses to talk to me. He has no grounds for divorce, but to please him. * am getting one. Everyone says he is bad and that he would never make a good husband, but I love him, although he prefers a variety of girls, and I know he does not love me. I would gladly forgive him. but, he won’t let me talk to him. It has been three months since I've talked to him and our divorce comes up this week. Shall 1 let him go? UNHAPPY. I can’t see why you Avould Avant to hold a man who cares nothing for you and who made no effort to make you happy when you werp with him. What can you hope from continued marriage Avith such a man? Doesn't Write Regularly Dear Martha Lee: Last June I met a young man. 19 years of age. for ivhom I • •.••re a great deal. I am 18. He lives out ••' town. For a while, he will write every week, and then lie won t write for seA-cral and I wonder if when he doesn’t write for ■ ■ long time, if I should write. Sometimes he mentions about gettg married. Are we too young? “BLONDY.” Yes, I think you are a little young t.o get married. Xo, I don’t believe I should write Avhen lie A\ait3 quite a Avhile between letters. He may be very busy at such times.

Saint and %S‘ Sinner

Wealthy RALPH CLUNY. 08. was murdered just before be was to have married frivolous CHERRY LANE. 18. Immediately Cherry disappears, leaving a note for her sister FAITH saying she could not go on with the wedding. Cherry’s elopement with CHRIS WILEY becomes known. Cherry has been engaged several times. Once she tried to run away with ALBERT ETTELSON. a married traveling salesman, and was rescued by her sister and 808 HATHAWAY. Faith’s fiance and nephew of Cluny. Cherry admits that Cluny attempted to force the marriage, but protests her innocence. _ , Faith suspects Chris Wiley, flunking he knew that Cluny had willed much moner to Cherry. Charles Reilly Neff, who drew up the Avill. testifies that Ciunv made Cherry his clfief beneficiary whether or not she married him. The coroner’s jury releases Cherry but immediately she and her husband are arrested by DEVLIN, deputy district attorFaith is furious when Bob tells her Attorney Stephen Churchill, whom he employed. thinks circumstances arc against Cherry and suggests a plea of self-defense as the best chance at her f "peculiar footprints and a bit of tom strap suggest that the murderer might be a cripple. _ . A mysterious letter furnishes another clew and Phil, a beggar, is suspected Kelly an old newsdealer, makes an effort to find him. The trial causes great excitement.

Faith and Boh and Jim Lane were five minutes late for the opening of the afternoon session of court. Examination of a talesman was going forward when they took their seats. “He’ll do,” Faith heard Cherry murmur to Churchill. “He looks like Dad. And he says he has a daughter just my age. He’ll always be thinking—‘What if it was my girl?’ Did you bring me a paper, darling?” slife asked of Faith, her golden eyes as Avidp and eager as a child’s. “Please look as if you cared about Chris’ being ill,” Faith begged in a Avhisper. “The reporters are all watching you. An dthey’re criticising you in their stories, jumping to conclusions Avhich are going to hurt you.” Cherry’s small, coral mouth set stubbornly, and she shook her head slightly. But Faith Avas relieved to see that almost instantly the expressive face changed, registered concern. Cherry even managed a couple of great, round, glistening tears, which slipped down her cheeks —as white and fine and smooth as petals of a gardenia. The lovely little mouth trembled convincingly. “I’m thinking of Muggy,” she whispered brokenly to Faith. “That’s the only thing that can make me cry. Listen, darling. Send Chris a pot o/ lilies AA’ith my- name on the card. Think of it, Faith—lilies for Chris! I hope he will realize how ironic that is! And I’ll write a note to go AA r ith them. And be sure to tell the reporters that I’m doing It.” The business of impanelling a jury went tediously on. With almost comical ferocity, Tom Banning, the district attorney, fought for the acceptance of old men of approximately Ralph Cluny’s age, old men tvho were tvidowers or bachelors and j who would naturally Adsualize themselves in the predicament of the dead man—murdered for their money by scheming gold-diggers. Just as persistently, though more suavely, Stephen Churchill fought to exclude such talesmen and strove to fill the box with middle-aged, married men, fathers of sons and daughters of somewhere near Cherry’s and Chris’'age. x AtMour o’clock the panel had been exhausted and the judge had ordered the clerk to draw in open court and the sheriff to summon 150 jurors, to appear in court the next morning— Tuesday, January 4 —at ten o’clock. Judge GrlmshaAV then charged the seven jurors who had been tentatively accepted not to discuss the

Father John’s Medicine Builds New Strength During the Get-ting-Well Stage After Illness. A Doctor’s Prescription. Free From Alcohol and Harmful Prugs —7O years in use. The getting-well stage of grip is the most dangerous of all because the weakened body is wide open to attacks of other lurking disease germs. That is why all the organs of the body must be kept in their best working order, not only to drive out the poison left by the grip germ, but that the patient shall regain strength as soon as possible to avoid further attacks resulting from the poisons in the system. Father John’s Medicine builds up the body because it is all pure wholesome nourishment and free from harmful drugs or alcohol. Father John’s Medicine has had 70 years’ success for colds and throat troubles, coughs, and as a tonic and body builder. —Advertisement.

case ot? to form a conclusion and ordered court adjourned. Swallowing her distaste, for the ordeal, Faith lingered in the courtroom near the press tables after she had kissed Cherry good-by. With apparent reluctance, she submitted to being interviewed, answering questions as they Avere peppered upon her by the more than thirty representatives of the press. “Is it true that your sister. Cherry, is going to divorce her husband?” a girl reporter asked bluntly. “Os course not!” Faith cried with well-assured indignation. “She is very much grieved over his illness, and ljas commissioned me to send him floAvers in her name and to give him, when I call on him at the hospital this afternoon, a letter she Avrote In fcourt today.” “Would you let us print the letter?” a young man asked brusquely. “Might do a lot to check these rumors that are going the rounds that she and Chris are on the outs.” “I—l don’t think she would like that,” Faith stammered. Then, after a bit more persuasion, she handed over the fen-id love note which Cherry had scribbled on a sheet torn from her lawyer’s memo pad. She aid not explain that the note would never be delivered, that if Chris Wiley read it at all, he Avould read it in the columns of the neAA-spapers. Her cheeks were still burning with shame Avhen she entered the hospital and asked to see Christopher Wiley, her sister’s husband of a night. Next: Faith visits Chris In the hospital, and for the first time betrays Cherry’s trust. (Copyright, 1927, NEA .Service, Inc.)

Your “Regular ” Pain Now Needless

Menstruation is a perfectly natural process, but the painful part is NEEDLESS. Long study has absolutely conquered menstrual pain. Science now offers women reliable and complete relief —in a simple, utterly harmless tablet called midol. This newest achievement of the laboratory has nothing to do with drastic, habit-forming drugs that kill pain by benumbing the whole system. Midol acts directly on the organs affected by menstruation, and nowhere else.' Yet relief and absolute comfort come in five to seven m.nutes. So, why have a twinge of pain—feel “low” or even uncomfortable! Or take anything to depress the heart or upset the system? All drug stores have midol in a thin aluminum box that tucks in purse or pocket for 80 cents. —Ad\‘ertleement.

Tj.b.. Pain Off the Calendar

Grandmother Knew there was nothing so good for congestion and colds as mustard. But the oldfashioned mustard plaster burned and blistered. Musterole gives the relief and help that mustard plasters gave, without the plaster and without the blister. with oil of mustard. Gently rub it in. See how quickly the pain disappears. Try Musterole for sore throat, bronchitis, tonsilitis, croup, stiff neck, asthma, neuralgia, headache, congestion, pleurisy, rheumatism, lumbago, pains and aches of the back or joints, sprains, sore muscles, bruises, chilblains, frosted feet, colds of the chest (it may prevent pneumonia.)

End Oily, Sallow Skin A little Calonite powder sprinkled on a wet cloth and rubbed gently over the face each night ends shiny, oily skins —puts new life into sallow skin, and cleans the pores of all dust, dirt and prevents blackheads. It makes the skin feel refreshed and bright, so you will enjoy a good night’s rest.—Advertisement.
