THE HOUSEWIFE—i Experiences of Ohio Women Findlay, Ohio.—"My experience with Dr. Pierce’a Favorite Prescription during expectancy hat been all that could be de-

sired. I was so weak and sickly that I could scarcely do my own housework for months before my second child came, and I was nau I seated all the time until ' I started to take ‘Favorite Prescription.’ The first bottle gave me so much comfort and strength that I decided to continue its use through the entire period. My baby weighed

ten pounds and I had practically no suffering; was ill only a little over an hour.

CHAPTER Vll,—Continued. —ll— estate Is the only subject I would trust him on,” she continued. “I must say, Dave, that for a shrewd business man you are awfully dense about Conwnrd. He remained silent for a few moments. He decided not to follow her lead. He knew that If she had anything explicit to say about Conwnrd she would say It when she felt tfie time to be opportune, and not until then. “How much did you Invest?” “Not much. Just whut I had.” - “You mean all your savings?” “Why not? It’s all right. Isn’t It?" He had risen and was standing by the window. “It's all right, isn’t It?” she repeated. “I’m afraid It Isn’t 1” he said, at length, in a restrained voice. ■ “I’m afraid It Isn’t."’ “What do you mean?” she demanded. “Bert,” he continued, “did It ever occur to you that this thing must have an end—that we can’t go on forever lifting ourselves by our own bootstraps? We have built a city here, a great and beautiful city, almost as a wizard might build It by magic overnight. There was room for It here; there was occasion; there was Justification. But there was neither occasion nor Justification for turning mile? and miles of prairie land into city lots —lots which In the nature of things cannot possibly, In your time or mine, be required for city purposes. These lots should be producing; wheat oats, potatoes, cows, butter —that Is what we must build our city on. We have been considering the effect rather than the cause. The cause is the country, the neglected country, and until it overtakes the city we must stand still, if we ?lo not go back. Our prosperity has been built on borrowed money, and we have forgotten that borrowed money must some time be repaid.” "You mean that the boom is about to burst?” she said. “Not exactly burst It will not be so sudden as that. It will just ooze away like a toy balloon pricked with a pin.” There was silence for some minutes. When she spoke at length it was with a tinge of bitterness. “So you are unloading?” “The firm is. I beg you, Bert, to believe that if I had known your Intention I would have tried to dissuade you.” “Why me particularly? I am only one of the great public. Why don’t you give your conclusions to the world? Now that you see the reaction setting In doesn’t honesty suggest what your course should be?” There was reproach tn her voice, Dave thought rather than bitterness. He spread but his hands. “What’s the use? The harm Is done. To predict a collapse would be to precipitate a panic. It as though we were passengers Oh a boat at sea. You and I know the boat Is sinking, but the other passengers don't They are making merry with champagne and motorcars —If you enn accept that figure—and revelry and easy money. Why spoil their remaining few hours by telling them they are heqded for the bottom?” After a moment she placed her fingers on his arm. "Forgive me, Dave,” she said. "I didn’t mean to whine.” “You didn’t whine,” he returned, almost fiercely. “It’s not yon. You are too good a sport. But there will be lots of whining In the coming months.” Manlike, it did not occur to Dave that In that moment the girl had bidden goodby to her savings of a dozen years and had merely looked up and said, "Forgive me, Dave, I didn’t mean to whine.” He glanced at his watch. “It's late for a theater,” he said, "but we can ridd?* Which do you say—auto or horseback?" ■ “I can’t go horseback In these clothes and I don’t want to change." Dave pressed a button and the omnipresent Chinese “boy” stood before him. “My car,” he said. “The twopassenger car. I shall not want a driver." Then, continuing to Miss Morrison: “You will need something more than that coat. Let me see. My smoking jacket should fit” In a few minutes they were threading their way through the street traffic In Dave’s machine. Presently the traffic thinned, and the car- hummed through long residential avenues of comfortable homes. On and on they sped, until the city streets and the city lights fell behind and the car was swinging along a fine country road through a land marked with streams and bridges and blocked out with fragrant bluffs of young poplars. At last, after an hour’s steady driving In a delight of motion too keen for conversation, they pulled up on the brow of a hill. Date switched off his lights, the better to appreciate the majesty of the night, and In the silence came'the low murmur of wafer. There were no words. They sat and breathed It. Suddenly, from a sharp bend behind In the road, flashed the lights of an approaching car. Dave was able to switch his own lights on again only In time to avoid a collision. The oncoming car lurched and passed by furiously, but not before Dave had recognized Conward as the driver. Back on Its trail of dust floated the ribald notes of half-lntoxlcated women, “Close enough,” said Dave when the dust had settled. “Well, let us Jog back home.” They took the return trip leisurely, drinking In the glories of the night and allowing time for the play of conversation. Bert Morrison was tc good con ersatlonallsb Her points of interest were almost Infinite. And they

were back among the street lights before they knew. “Oh, I almost forgot,” Bert said, as they parted, as though she really had forgotten. “I was at a reception today when a beautiful woman asked for you—asked me If I had ever beard of Mr. David Elden.” “ ‘What, Dave Elden, the millionaire?’ I said. ‘Everybody kno.’ys him. He’s the beau of the town, or could be If he wanted to.’ Oh, I gave you a good name, Dave.” “Thanks, Bert. That was decent. Who was she?” “She said her name was Irene Hardy.” CHAPTER VIII. Upon the return of Irene Hardy to the East It had slowly become apparent to her mother that things were not ns they once had been. It seemed as though she had left part of her nature behind—had outgrown It, perhaps—and had created about herself an atmosphere of reserve foreign to her earlier life. It seemed as though the loneliness of the great plains had settled upon her. # “Whatever has come over Irene?” said Mrs. Hardy to the doctor one evening. “She hasn’t been the same since she came home. I should not have let her go west alone.” The doctor looked up mildly from his paper. It was the custom of the doctor to look up mildly when Mrs. Hardy made a statement demanding some form of recognition. From the wide Initiation Into domestic affairs which his profession had given him Doctor Hardy had long since entirely ceased to look for the absolute In woman. He had never looked for It In man. He realized that In Mrs. Hardy he did not possess a perfect mate, but he was equally convinced that In no other woman would he have found a perfect mate, and he accepted his lot with the philosophy of his sixty years. So instead of reminding his wife that Irene had not been alone when she went west he remarked very mildly that the girl was growing older. Mrs. Hardy found In his remark occasion to lay down the book she had been holding and to sit upright In a rigidity of intense disapproval. Doctor Hardy was aware that this was entirely a theatrical attitude, assumed for the purpose of Imposing upon him a proper humility. He had experienced it many times. “Doctor Hardy,” said his wife after the lapse of an appropriate period, “do you consider that an Intelligent remark?” “It has the advantage of truthfulness,” returned the doctor complacently. “It Is susceptible of demonstration.” “I should think this is a matter .of sufficient Interest to the family to be discussed seriously,” retorted Mrs. Hardy,who had-an unfortunate habit of becoming exasperated by her husband’s good humor. “Irene <ls our only child, and before your very eyes you see her —you see her— Do you know, I begin—l really begin to suspect that she’s in love.” It’ was Doctor Hardy’s turn to sit upright. “Nonsense 1” he said. “Why should she be In love?" It Is the unfortunate limitation of the philosopher that he so often leaves Irrational- be-, hnvlor out of the reckoning. “She Is only a child.” “She will be eighteen presently. And why shouldn’t she be In love? And the question is—who? That Is for you to answer. Who did she meet?” “She met no one with me. My accident left me to enjoy my holiday as best I could at a ranch deep In the foothills, and Reenle stayed with me there. There was no one else —” “No one? No ranchmen, cowboys—cow punchers—l think! have heard’’— with nice disdain. “No. Only young Elden—” “Only? Who ls'this young Elden?” “But he Is just a boy. Just the son of the old rancher of whom I. have told you.” “Exactly. And Irene Is Just a girl. Doctor Hardy, you are all very well with your fevers and your chills, but you can’t diagnose a love case worth a cent. What about this young Elden? Did Irene see mnch of him?” The doctor spread his hands. “Do you realize that there were four of us at that ranch —four only, and no one else for miles? How could she help seeing him?” “And you permitted it?” “I was on my back with a broken leg. We were guests at their horned They were good Samaritans to us. I couldn't chaperon her. And besides they don't do things that way In that country. You don’t understand. It’s altogether different:” “Andrew,” said Mrs. Hardy, leaning forward, and the word was ominous, for she used his Christian name only In moments of crisis, “was Irene ever with this young man—alone?” The doctor arose to his feet and trod heavily upon the rich carpetings. “I told you you don’t understand," he protested. ‘The West is not the East Everything Is different—” “I suppose human nature Is different,” she Interrupted meaningly. Then her head fell upon the table and'lter hands went up about her hair. It had been brown hair onoe £ut was now thin and streaked with gray. “Oh, Andrew,” she wept, “we are ruined 1 That we should ever have come to this!” It was now Doctor Hardy’s turn to be exasperated. There was one thing his philosophy could not endure. That was a person who was not and who would not be philosophical. Mrs. Hardy was not and would not be philosophical. “This is all nonsense I” said the doctor, impatiently. “There U nothing to It, anyway. The girl bad to have

Alone?" “They had their h(irsea.aJng,” said the doctor, whom Impatience hat made way for sarcasm, “You are mocking me. in this houi of shame you are making jests. Cal) Irene." The girl was summoned. Her fine face had lost sonm of its brownness, and the eyes seemed deeper and slower, but she was still a vision ol grace and beauty as she stood in response to their call, framed In the curtains of an archway. Her quick sense caught the tense atmosphere and she came forward with parted lips and extended fingers. w'. “Yes?” she said. "What Is wrong? Can I help?” “Your father has confessed,” aald Mrs. Hardy, trying haTd to speak with Judicial calm. a - ‘Now tell us about your relations with this young Elden, this cow puncher. Let us know the worst.” Irene's eyes flew from her mother to her father’s face, and there they caught something that restored their calm. “There was. no worst,” she said with a ripple of laughter, “but there was a good deal of best. Shall I tell you the best?” “Irene,” said her mother severely, “did you permit that young man to make love to yon?” “I did not give him permission. If that answers you, because he didn’t ask It” Mrs. Hardy had risen. “Andrew, you hear that? She confesses. It’s dreadful I Horrible! What will everybody say?” “No worse than yon have said, m be bound,” put In the doctor. “Yes, take her part. What care yon for the family name?” “I have a right to speak for the family name,” said the doctor firmly. “It was mine before It was yours. I cannot see that the family name has been compromised in the slightest degree. This is Irene's first adventure. It will pass away. And even If It does not —he Is a manly boy.” Mrs. Hardy suneyed her husband hopelessly, then turned to Irene. “FJave you madie any promises?” “Only that I wouldn’t make any promises until he had his chance. That seemed fair.” “I suppose yon are receiving, letters from him?” _i “No.” 1 “Why doesn’t he write?” For the first time Irene’s eyes fell and the color mounted richer in her cheeks. She had to confess now, not for herself but for him. , "He can’t write,” she said. “Merciful heavens!” exclaimed Mrs. Hardy, collapsing Ihtdtra chair. . . “Andrew, bring me: a stimulant.” (TO BE CONTINUED.) FRANCE OUR SOLDIERS KNEW Prodigality Astonished Shopkeepers, but They Turned It to Good Use. When we first arrived In France the currency seemed more like soap wrappers or cigar coupons than real, hon-est-to-goodness money. We blew It, burnt It, threw It away.' The French, with whom economy Is almost a vice, stood around aghast for a while, then started gathering It tn. They reasoned that only millionaires would be so extravagant, and raised their prices accordingly. After a time the money became very’ real to us, but by then the damage was done. We had sowed the wind and we stayed to reap a tornado. The buck private casual paid the same prices as the colonel, Just because he was an American. The money that one of ns dropped In France has founded the' fortune of some future bourgeois dynasty. Today Paris Is crowded with nouveaux riches of the war. I don’t think any of ns who have the power of reasoning blame the French Individually for. exploiting us. We deserved It In most cases. But what Is a very real grievance Is that we felt that nothing was ever done by the powers that be to stop it. If you don’t take the doughboys’ word for it ask your peace conference representative. He got stung, too. The French are not noted for being farsighted financially. They are accustomed to dealing la hundreds of francs and not In thousands, and they lost their heads. A bird In the hand is worth whole flocks In the bush, or any potential flocks which might be hatched'lnto being with a little care.

In a few minutes the Empire State Express came whirling along. Thomas threw down his pick and started up the track aheatt of the train as fast as he could. The train overtook him and tossed him Into a ditch. Badly shaken up, he was taken to the hospital, where the foreman visited him. “Yon blithering Idiot!” said the foreman, “didn't I tell you to take care and get out pf the way? Why didn’t yon run up the side of the hill?” "Up the solde of the hill. Is It, sor?" said Thomas through the bandages on his face. “Up the solde of the hill? By the powers, I can’t bate It on the level, let alone rnnnln’ up hill." First Safety Bicycles. The first of the safety bicycles was put on the market In 1880.' In this the high front wheel was reduced and the rear wheel was about two-thirds the height of the front one. The machines with wheels of the same size appeared In 1880. Bicycling began to be popular about 1891, and the “craze” reached Its height about 1895, when wheels had become low enough In price to be within the means of the multitude.

PRIMARY TOPIC —How an Angal Helped Peter. JUNIOR TOPlC—Peter Delivered From Prison. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC —How Prayer Helps. YOUNO PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —Tiling, Wrought, by Prayer. I. Peter’s Imprisonment (w. 1-4). I. By whom (v. 1). Herod, the grandson of the wicked Herod who slew the Innocent children at Bethlehemgt reason (v. 3). It was to gain the of the Jews. Herod was not a Jew, and therefore knew that his success was dependent fijxin having the good will of the Jews. He did not particularly hate the Church, but loved popularity. Herod, for the sake of popularity, assumed a deep sympathy for degenerate Judaism. Since the Church had developed into a successful rival of Judaism—lndeed was already displacing It —he saw an opportunity to curry favor with the Jews by putting his hand forth against IL 3. The method (v. 4). Peter was arrested, put into prison and guarded by four quaternions of soldiers. A quaternion Is a guard of four soldiers on duty at the same time. Four quaternlons meant that a special group was on duty each watch of the night. It was the custom for two soldiers to be in the prison, one on each side of the prisoner, bound to his arms with chains (v. C). The third one to watch outside the door and the fourth to be near the outside gate. Humanly speaking it was impossible to escape. However, they made one fatal mistake ; they left out God. 11. The Church of God In Prayer (v. 5). The Church was in a crisis; her situation was most grave. James, one of the pillars of the Church, was dead, and Peter, the most prominent of all, was in prison. In this desperate strait they did the wise thing; they betook themselves to prayer. There is nothing too hard for God. Theirs was a noteworthy prayer: 1. It was unto God, hot unto men to be heard of men. This is a very common fault today. All true prayer is unto God. 2. •It was united prayer. It was made by' the Church. God hearS the prayers of Individuals, but there Is peculiar power In the united prayer of God’s people. 3. It was an Intensely earnest prayer. It was more than unceasing prayer; it was the yearning desire of the soul as It stretched itself out toward God. 4. It was definite prayer. They specifically interceded for Peter. Their prayer was concentrated, definite and specific. 111. Peter ’ Delivered by an Angel (vv. 0-11)7“ This occurred the night before Herod’s plan to make a public display of him. 1. Peter sleeping (v. 6). The angel found Peter asleep. The Lord keeps in perfect peace those whose minds are stayed on him (Isa. 26:3). Again, he gives his beloved sleep (Psalm 127:2). 2ti'Peter‘leaving the prison (w. 7-10). The heuvenly light shone In the prison. The angel smote Peter on the side, the chains fell ofj, Peterjpu't on his clothes, passed by one guard after another, through the iron gate out Into the city. 3. The effect upon Peter (v. 11). Although the event was so wonderful to Peter, and at first he thought it a vision, when he came to himself he was assured beyond pwadventure of a doubt that God had miraculously delivered him from Herod’s v wicked hands. IV. Unconscious Unbelief (w, 12-19), 1. The behavior of Peter and the Church (w. 12-17). Peter went to the house of Mary and knocked. The knock was answered by Rhode, who was 60 overjoyed on hearing Peter’s voice that she forgot to open the gate and ran In uwl told them that Peter was at the gate. The disciples were not prepared for such good neyvs and even accused her ‘of madness. Undaunted, she insisted. They offered as nn explanation that perhaps it might be Peter’s guardian angel in his likeness. Peter rehearsed unto them the Lord’s dealing with him and instructed” them to make the* things known unto James and the brethren. 2. The behavior of the soldiers (w. 18| 19). There was great agitation among them over Peter’s disappearance. This was a serious matter, since they were responsible for him. Not being able to account for Peter’s escape, Herod commanded that they be put to deothSympathy. Sympathy is the power of putting ourselves Into another person’s position; It Is that power by which we take upon our mind another mind’s perplexities, by which we take upon our heart another heart's grief, by which we take upon our conscience the burden of another's conscience, until therd comes almost a conscious Identification between the minister and the sonl t p whom he or she is ministering. Where can we learn this sympathy? Only In the school of human experience. And the reason therefore, why union with Christ is the essentia] condition for exercising Christian influence, lies ia the fact that through this union alone do we learn by experience what they meet who tread that path along which we ourselves have traveled over. —.

MDD'iT EVENING nFMWEH 6WAHY |rn CAMEL'S CARELESSNESS. “I’ve said so before and I will say so again,” remarked the Dromedary with the single hump, also known in the zoo, or anywhere else for that matter, as the single-humped camel. “What have you said before?” asked the Bactrian Camel' with the two great humps. “Something about you,” said the Dromedary. “You can’t expect me to remember something you may have said before,” said the lluetrian Camel, "for I am stupid and I cannot bother to even try to remember things.” “Oh, I suppose you can’t,” said the Dromedary. “And anyway,” said the Bnctrlan Camel, “what would be the sense in trying to when you say that you are going to say this same thing again which you have said before? As long as you’re going to repeat yourself why should I bother to try to remember or to think?" “It would be too much to expect of you in any case,” said the Dromedary. “It would,” said the Bactrian Camel. “I know that much." “Well,” said the Dromedary, “I might as well be saying what 1 set out to say, though I don’t feel so very smart and clever myself.” -■ “You’re not very smart anyway,?’ said the Bactrian Camel, “or, at any rate, you’re not a great, great student; but still you might as well say what you set out to say. I don’t care whether It is worth hearing or not. That doesn’t make any difference to me. That Is where a friend like myself is rather a nice sort to have at times.” “Well,” said the Dromedary, “I was going to say, and I have said it before, that It does seem a great, great pity that your hair is so splendid in the winter time. You have a handsome, brown, shaggy coat now. “It is really very good looking and you look all dressed up for the winter.” “I always dress up for the winter,” said the Bactrian Camel. “I know," said the Dromedary, “but It seems so foolish. You shed your nice coat In the summer when all the visitors come to the zoo and folks ride and everyone sees you. “You have so few visitors now it doesn’t matter how you look. Now with me it is different. I bever have any long hair at any time. I’m different from you in many ways. I’m not so heavy and big and I can travel faster.” “Os course you can,” said the Bactrian Camel. “You haven’t as heavy a loffd to carry in yourself as I have, so naturally you cqn move faster.” -- “Why, that’s quite bright of you,”

“I Am Careless.” said the Dromedary. "Now, do you suppose you can tell me why you don’t look better In the summer when all the guests come to the zoo, and why you look so fine, now when it is winter and there are few visitors?” “I suppose,” said the Bactrian Camel slowly, “It Is Just that I have gotten Into such careless habits. 1 began to • dress up In the winter and then got the habit” * "Why, it Is as absurd,” said the Dromedary, “as though a. child, should wear her party dress to school and when she went to a party wear her swimming suit or gymnasium clothes I" “Just os absurd,’' said the Bactrian Camel, “but, as I say, It must have been carelessness. I don’t bother to think so much about what I am doing. I don’t care about being bright. And I am careless. And my carelessness has become a habit.” "Too bad,” said the Dromedary. “It’s too bad reu’re a careless camel, alas, a careless camel.” careless camel, a careless camel,” repeated the Bactrian Camel, as he chewed-from side to side, twisting his great mouth around in a most peculiar fashion. “Will you ever change?” asked the Dromedary. "I doubt It,” said the Bactrian Camel. “I’m too stupid to really think out the foolishness of the whole thing, and I’m too careless to take the trouble to try to form a good habit. I’m careless in every way, I guess—a careless camel; that’s me, a cureless camel.” “Careless camel,” said the Dromedary, “careless camel, to dress all up in the lonely winter time I” Good Either Way.

LESS MEAT IF BACK 1 AND KIDNEYS HURT Take a Glass of Salts to Flusli Kidneys If Bladder ' Bothers You. Eating meat regularly eventually produces kidney trouble in some form or other, says a well-known authority, because the uric acid 1n meat excites tlie kidneys, they become overworked; get sluggish; clog up and cause all sorts of distress, particularly backache and misery In the kidney region; rheumatic twinges, severe headaches, acid stomach, constipation, torpid liver, sleeplessness, bladder and urinary Irritation.
