Are You Sick? Much sickness is due to a weak nervous system. Yours may be. If it is, you cannot get well until you restore nerve strength Your nervous system ife nature’s power house; the organs or your body get their power from it. If the power is not there, the action of the organs is weak, and disease (sickness) follows. Dr. Miles’ Nervine cures the sick because it soothes the irritated and tired nerves and gives the system a chance to recuperate. Try it, and see if you do not quickly feel its beneficial effect. “I was given up to die by a leading doctor. Got one of Dr. Mlles books and found that Dr. Mlles’ Nervine fit my case. From the very first dose I took I got better. lam better now than I have Deen for years, and do all my own work on the farm. That’s what Dr. Miles’ Nervine has done for me, and I am glad to recommend It to others.” JOHN JAMBS, Riverton, Nebr. Your druggist sells Dr. Miles’ Nervine, and we authorize him to return price of first bottle (only) If It falls to benefit you.

Obliging D. D. D.

By M. M. CUNNINGHAM.

Carman scowled as a tiny figure In brown linen scuttled across the lawn. “Up to more mischief,” he growled. “Just had one spanking and getting ready for another. I hope he gets It. It’s a pity I cant give it to him. He’d remember It better than the hairbrush sessions he usually has.” Daniel Davenport Dudley slipped around a corner of the carriage house, and Will Carman resumed his book. The day was far too fine for reading, but bis clothes were downstairs drying out, and one of Bob Dudley’s dressing gownn was scarcely an appropriate costume for outdoor exercise. He had run down to his partner’s bungalow for the day only. He had wanted to make a base of operations against Ruth Emory, who was stay-

“WON’T YOU PLEASE MARRY HIM SO I WON’T BE SPANKED?”

Ing across the river at the Blessington’s country place. Ruth was to leave tomorrow for Bar Harbor, and unless he spoke today there was small chance of winning her hand for another six months. Carman was no letter writer, and he could not hope to conduct an epistolary courtship. Helen Dudley, his partner’s wife, had suggested the scheme of bls running down ostensibly upon business just at the time that Dudley was doing away. He might go over Jo Blessington’s for want of better occupation, and the battle would be won. But they had not counted upon D. D. D. That ingenuous six-year-old had spent the early morning in bridging with branches and sod the tiny stream that cut through the Dudley' lawn. Carman had broken through the shaky bridge and had soaked himself to the knees. Mrs. Dudley had spanked D. D. D m but that did nbt dry damp trousers nor muddy boots, and now Carman was sitting In the guest room smoking Bob Dudley’s cigars and softly cursing small boys and other fates that kept him from Miss Emory’s side. Presently he laid down the book as D. D. D. came around the corner of the carriage house again. The roof repairers had left some tar on the dirt heap, and In making up a ball of the sticky compound D. D. D. had smeared his clothes with the mess. “Good!” commented Carman. “Now you will get spanking No. 2. Just wait until your mother sees you.” There was not long to wait. D. D. D. ran to the rear of the house, and presently a succession of walls announced that the youngster’s condition had been discovered by bis iqpg suffering mother. Carman chuckled. * “Vengeance was swift my boy. You’ll wind up on the gallows yet.” Carman was not ordinarily heartless, and, as a rule, he was fond of children, but the provocation had been great. Mrs. Dudley tapped on his door, and Carman answered. “Do yen think,” she asked, “it would hurt your boots to put them In the oven to dry? We had them In the sun. but they are drying very slowly. Here are your other clothes.” Carman decided in favor of the oven; anything to hurry the process. Perhaps, after all, be might be In time. He assumed his restored clothing and shuffled down to the porch In Bob Dudley’s bath slippers. Carman was a six foot giant, while Dudley was small and dapper. There was nothing in the house that would fit Carman On the poroh he chatted with his hostess and found It more pleasant to talk of Ruth than to sit in a room by himself and brood over his lost opportunity. D. D. D. was playing at the other end of the piazza under the maternal eye. With the prospect of a speedy return of his footwear Carman even found It possible to smile upon the youngster mildly. Then the servant came out bearing the boots, and as she neared Carman D. D. D. made a dive for the.footwear. “I w<nt my tar,” he exclaimed. “I hid it there when Norah ran after me.” Norah dropped the boots on Carman's stockinged feet,, and, with a howl of dismay and pain, the latter picked them up. It was all too true. Jn the right boot were the dark staift that told how well the heat of the oven had

spread the pitch. The shoes were ruined. Mrs. 'Dudley was all concern, but it began to look as though all the fates were against Carman. There was not another pair of shoes about the place that approached his size. It was out of the question to send the girl to town. The chauffeur had driven the head of the bouse to the city and had not yet returned. “It’s all over," said Carman grimly. “I’ll go to town in the morning In the auto. Until then It will have to be bath slippers for me, and I cannot very well propose In bath slippers. “It is scarcely the costume of romance,” said Mrs. Dudley. “It Is fate,” he said resignedly. “Ruth Emory will never me mme.” “Perhaps it Is not as bad as that. You might write, you know,” comforted Mrs. Dudley, but Carman refused to be comforted. He knew how vainly he had tried to frame a letter that would sound unlike a business communication. It was only*the prospect of her leaving that had moved him to speaking. Now the chance was lost, thanks to D. D. D. That evening Carman sat on the porch looking across the water to where the lights betrayed the Blessington’s place. Mrs. Dudley had promised to call on a sick friend, and Carman would not hear of her remaining at home. It was nearly 10 when a figure stole across the grass, and Carman rose from his chair. “Look out for the pitfall,” he warned. “Don’t get in the brook.” “I won’t,” came the cheery reply, and Carman‘started. It was not Mrs. Dudley. but Ruth Emory who presently emerged from the gloom of the trees to offer her slim, cool hand. "I thought that Helen was here,” she said. “I paddled over to say goodby to her.” “She will be home presently,” be said eagerly. “Won’t you wait?” Somehow, now that she was here, he had lost his courage again. Ruth sat down and demanded an explanation of his warning, and he explained the device of D. D. D. "And you have been cooped up here all day," she cried. “What a shame! It was a perfect day.” “Not for me,” he said mournfully. “That little limb of Satan spoiled it for me.” “I ain’t a limb of Satan,” denied a sleepy voice from the low French window. “I am a good boy, only I am bad sometimes,” he explained as he pattered out upon the piazza and climbed upon Ruth’s lap. “I was bad today,” he added. “I got tar in Mr. Carman’s boots, and I got spanked because he couldn’t come over and ask you to marry him. Won’t you please marry him, so I won’t be spanked?" he added. “I was spanked three times today.” “Won’t you?” asked Carman softly. “I want you so, dear! When it seemed that I had lost my opportunity I was nearly crazy. It was fate that brought you over. I am not a good pleader. ■Won’t you let D. D. D. plead for me?” Miss Emory’s eyes grew softly bright She, too, had been afraid that perhaps the . word that would mean so

' much to them both would never bd spoken. 'T am a member of the Children’s Aid society.” she said, with a low laugh. "Perhaps for the sake of D. D. D. I had better say yes.” In a moment Carman’s arms were about her, and he knelt beside her chair. Mrs. Dudley’s first hint that all was well was gained as she rounded the porch from D. D. D.’s sleepy voice. “Kiss me, t 00,,” he pleaded. And Mrs. Dudley smiled and went softly to the back door lest she disturb them.

Early Refrigeration.

The most ancient method of making ice is practiced in parts of India. Holes are made in the ground, dry straw Is put at the bottom of these, and on it at the close of the day are placed pans of water which are left until the next morning, when the ice that is found within the pans Is collected. This Industry Is carried on only In districts where the ground is dry and will readily absorb the vapor given off from the water in the pans. The freezing, of course, is due to the great amount of heat absorbed by the vapor in passing from its liquid to its gaseous form. Another process was practiced In the day of ancient Rome, when the wealthy are said to have had their wines cooled by having the bottles placed In water into which saltpeter was thrown, the bottles being the while rotated. Dr. Cullen in 1755 discovered that the evaporation of water could be facilitated by the removal of the pressure of the atmosphere and that by doing this water could be frozen. Nairn in 1777 discovered that sulphuric acid would absorb the vapor of water if placed in a second vessel separate from that containing the water, but connected with It. This discovery he put to use In 1810 by constructing an apparatus for absorbing the vapor of the water that It was desired to cool or freeze. This apparatus greatly facilitated the freezing operations of a vacuum freezing machine.

The Black Sea.

The Black sea differs in a most remarkable manner from other lakes and seas. A surface current flows continually from it into the Mediterranean and an undercurrent from the Mediterranean into the Black sea. The latter current Is salt and, being heavier than the fresh water above it, becomes stagnant at the bottom. Being saturated with sulphureted hydrogen, this water will not maintain life, and so the Black sea contains no living thing below the depth of about a hundred fathoms. Its area is 168,500 square miles, It Is 740 miles long, and its greatest width Is 390 miles.

Cooking Helps. A little rich sweet cream spread over the top crust of a pie just before it is put into the oven will make it brown and flaky. Adding a teaspoonful of molasses to buckwheat batter will make the cakes fry a delicate brown. A little flour sprinkled over the top of a cake will prevent the icing from running.
