SOUTH IS CALM OVERPOLITICS Reed, McAdoo Visits Fail to Arouse Frenzy of Interest. By United Press ATLANTA, Ga., July 20.—Recent visits by Senator James A. Reed and William G. McAdoo have failed to arouse the Democratic South to any display of concern over the 1928 presidential campaign. Political leaders were agreed today, following Senator Reed’s speech before the Georgia State Legislature, that the Dixie voter “doesn’t much care right now” about politics. Senator Reed was brought here by U. S. Senator ‘Tom” Hardwick for the admitted purpose of “feeling out” the South’s attitude toward him as a presidential possibility. “Reed’s friends in Georgia intend to place his name on the ballot for the presidential nomination,” Hardwick declared. Reed’s speech before the Georgia Legislature was a discreet condemnation of the Republican administration with no mention of the prohibition issue. He conferred while here with several Democratic leaders. MAN INJURED IN FIRE Loss of $50,000 at Plant in Shelbyville.

Weak; Run-down. Had No Pep at All Tells How She Soon Recovered Health, Weight and Energy. Every woman who is weak, rundown or undernourished will be interested in the experience of Mrs. S. Kuharic, 924 E. 30th Street, South Bend, Ind. How she won back her health, appetite and weight, is told in her letter, as follows: “For months I was badly run down; thoroughly tired out and awfully weak all the time. I had no appetite and what food I could eat didn’t agree with me or do me any good. I lost weight until I was down to only 82 pounds. My vitality was so low that I had no pep at all. My husband and friends began to be alarmed about me. They had me try several medicines, but I felt no better. Then a relative suggested Viuna, and after just a few doses I began to feel a difference. Before the first bottle was gone I had a good appetite for the first time in months. Soon I had gained seven pounds. Now, my system is regular, I feel fine and can eat anythig. Viuna helped me so wonderfully that I gave it to my daughter. She had kidney and bladder trouble for some time. In only two days I noticed she was much better and now she is entirely relieved of her ailments. She is gaining every day and looks fine. We both owe all our good health to Viuna.” Viuna acts promptly on sluggish bowel*, lazy liver and weak kidneys. It purifies the blood, clears the skin, restores appetite and digestion, and brings new strength and energy to the whole body. Take a bottle on trial. Then if you're not glad you tried Viuna, yonr money will be refunded. $1 at druggists, or mailed postpaid by Iceland Medicine Cos., Indianapolis, Ind. VIUNA The Wonder Medicine

PART FOUR Death and Birth , CHAPTER I “Charitas sent her husband to complain of the way you spoke to her, Eteoneus,” said Menelaos. “You’ve been my servant for many years. You were the one person in the household I used to count on for absolute propriety. But in recent months your tongue has been getting you in trouble. “You yourself reported some high words with Orestes, and I had to object to your disposition to discuss my wife. Now our best neighbor comes in and it’s his wife you’ve discussed. What has happened, Eteoneus? And what I ought to do with you?” “Nothing has happened to me, Menelaos,” said the gate-keeper; “nothing but old age. I believe age has not essentially altered my character, but if you think it has, perhaps you ought to retire me. “In the days when my conduct gave satisfaction, only the common run of travelers stood outside your door, and only normal events happened inside of it. “Now, as you’ll admit, we have strange visitors,, and we receive strange messages, and what goes on inside this house is new, or ought to be new, to my experience. I doubt if my speech has become less guarded; I should probably have made the same comments forty years ago, if the same events had happened then.” “If I didn’t esteem you so highly, I’d send you off without a moment’s hesitation,” said Menelaos. “Instead, I ask you, man to man, what you’d do if you were in my place.” “Well, if I were in your place,” said Eteoneus, “I’d begin by stating the precise nature of the complaint Charitas made to you.” “Her husband, not Charitas,” said Menelaos. “Oh, I undrestand,” said the gatekeeper. *‘He says you Insulted his wife when she came to call on Helen. First, you wouldn’t let her in. Then you answered her questions rather sarcastically. For a climax, you told her she was the meanest woman you had ever met, and you thought you had met the extreme examples.” “That’s nearer the truth than you’d expect from an angry woman,” said Eteoneus, “especially getting it from you, who had it from her husband, who knew nothing about it, except what she told him. She asked if Helen was at home. I said she wasn’t. “That’s what she means by my not letting her in. She’s right, practically. Helen told me to say she was not at home, if any one called, but she also told me to see that Charitas didn’t get across the threshold, and Charitas suspects something of the kind.” “I wonder what has happened between them,” said Menelaos. “They used to be friends, and Charitas is the kind of woman I like to have Helen associated with—very steady, sensible, thoroughly reliable.” "I doubt if Helen thinks her either sensible or reliable,” said the gatekeeper. “What does she think her?” “She said once that Charitas was respectable.”

“At least!” said Menelaos. “She meant it as no compliment,” said Eeteoneus. "She meant that Charitas sticks to the conventions.” “That’s compliment enough, these days,” said Menelaos. “What on earth possesses that woman!” “Which one?” “My wife.” “Well, that’s about the same thing as I asked you when you came home,” said Eteoneus, “and you were angry at me. Now, if you will tell me how to—” “We’ve wandered from the subject,” said Menelaos. “You’ve answered the first complain against you. How about those sarcastic remarks?” “I made them,” said Eteoneus. “The woman refused to go away. She wanted to get at the scandal, from me if nobody else would talk to her, and what with trying not to give information, and what with the annoyance of being questioned, I dare say I answered her a bit sharply. She wanted to know whether Agamemnon didn’t attack Clytemnestra and whether Clytemnestra didn’t kill him in self-de-fense. I remember I said I’d submit the question to Helen as soon as she came in; she would know if and couldn’t, or if the lady just killed her husband spontaneously.” “It does sound important, and I’m sure it’s softer than what you actually said,” said Menelaos. “Menelaos, would you think better of my behavior if I gossiped with the neighbors about you and your relatives? What I think of Clytemnestra and what I think of your wife, is my private opinion—I believe you suggested as much; to talk of such things to Charitas is strictly none of my business. “She wanted gossip; I couldn’t get rid of her. Os course she’d be dissatisfied with my most diplomatic replies. I could have avoided her displeasure only by giving her the news. “I hope you told her husband that his wife had little to do, inquiring into your affairs through your servants? I begin to think Helen was generous when she called her respectable!” “Now, about the third complaint,’- said Menelaos. “I’d like to get on with this—there’s something else we must talk of. Did you call her the meanest woman you’d met?” “I dare say she is.” said Eteoneus, "but I left her a loop-hole of escape. She said she would send her boy away, where he wouldn’t be

contaminated by the bad custom of this house, and I replied that if she separated him from Adraste now, she’d be the meanest woman I ever met, and I added that my experience was wide.” “But why does she speak of gettaing him away from my house?” said Menelaos. “He doesn't live here.” “Doesn’t he! It's the only place he lives.” “You mean he’s here?” “Every minute he can be,” said Eteoneus. “Helen told me not to let him come out if there were a fiftyfoot wall around the estate.” "This is the most complicated affair I’ve ever heard of!" said Menelaos, “My home appears to be in a condition of siege. Our one ambition, it seems, is to repel the Charitas family. Why did Helen wish to keep out the boy?” “Adraste, of course.” “What are you talking about?.. .... Oh, now I remember Helen was afraid the girl might fall in lovt with him.” “There was some danger of it,” said Eteoneus. “You think the danger is past?” said Menelaos. “My, no!” said the gate-keeper; "it has happened—she’s going to have a child by him.” “Merciful gods!” cried Menelaos; “in my house? a child? I call that an outrage! Is there a soul on the premises who isn’t a dis-

grace to society? I call that, downright immoral! Couldn’t Helen stop it?” "She wanted to—that was her purpose in trying to keep the boy out,” said Eteoneus, “but you know how it is, Menelaos, when two youngsters are in love. You were young one yourself.” "Never!” said Menelaos, “never in that sense. I don’t understand the point of view, though I know people who hold it. If it’s right, I say, what is wrong? And the girl is going to have a child—in my house!” “Yes and Charitas is sending her boy away, so that he may not marry the girl, nor even see his own child occasionally,” said Eteoneus. “I call that unnecessarily mean.” “I must see what can be done about it,” said Menelaos. "Nothing to do now but wait,” said Eteoneus. ‘Oh, yes, there is!” said Menelaos. “The child can be born somewhere else. My house can do very well without another scandal for a while. But to return to you, Eteoneus. There’s another complaint against you. “You had a conversation with Hermione recently. About sex, of all subjects. Hermione says it was the most suggestive talk she has heard, and she is profoundly shocked.” "I told her not a word that wasn’t

perfectly delicate, nor a syllable that wasn’t true.” “But we don’t tell that sort of truth to young girls now-a-days, Eteoneus. Hermione has led a. sheltered life, and I want her to keep the innocence of youth as long as possible.” (To be continued) Copyright, 1925, by the Bobbs-Merrlll Cos.
