Married Life the Third Year

"Why, Delia, you haven't cleaned the nickel in that bath room?" 'Can't do everything at once," grumbled Delia. "But I told you particularly I wanted that done. You can leave those shelves and do it now." Delia sulkily threw down the oilrloth she was fitting on the pantry phelves, and got out the nickel polish. It was not often that Helen made her stop one thing to do another in this way. But all during the moving find for the two days they had been In the new apartment, Delia had been most sullen. She showed plainly that Bhe disapproved of this larger apartment, and had made several grumbling remarks about the work being much harder here. She had been In the bath room now hardly twenty minutes when Helen heard her go back to the kitchen. Burely she was not through. She could not have cleaned the nickel In that time! When Helen went to look she found the faucets had been rubbed up a little, but the nickel pipes under the washstand and the shower over the tub had not been touched. Helen, now thoroughly angry, went

back to the kitchen. She had put up with a good dea from Delia in the last few days, and her patience was exhausted. "Delia, do you mean to say you call that nickel POLISHED?" "Good as I can get it the first time. That ain't never been polished before." "But you didn't touch the pipes under the stand nor the shower." "Couldn't reach that shower," sullenly. "Then get the stepladder. Now you'll have to go back Delia, and do that right." Delia muttered something under her breath and went back to the bath room in a furious temper. Helen followed her in. "And this tiling you haven't cleaned any of this." "Those spots won't come off, them's paint." "Get a knife and scrape them off." trying one with her thumb nail. "Now, Delia, I want you to get this bath room CLEAN. We've been here three days now and it's almost as bad as when we came." "Well, I can't do no more than I

can," muttered Delia. For the rest of the afternoon, Delia I Maintained a sulky, resentful silence. At dinner, even Warren noticed that I something was wrong. I

"What's the matter with Delia? he

asked. "Oh, dear, I don't know. She's been sullen and grumpy ever since

we've moved, and today I had a per-1

fectly dreadful time making her polish the nickel in the bath room. She thinks this apartment is too big that the work's going to be harder." "Well. If she doesn't want to do the work here, fire her. We'll get eomebody who does." "But. oh. I DREAD to think of a fcew girl. We've had Delia so long." "Too long, maybe. -These girls get spoiled when they feel you can't do without them." "S-s-s-sh, dear, here she comes." Delia came in now with the vegetables. "Delia how did you burn these," esked Helen, as she took a blackened eweet potato on her plate.

"That oven burns everything. Can't ! bake nothing fit to eat in that stove." i "Then why didn't you boil these?" j But Delia swung through the pantry : doer without answering. "Delia!" Warren called angrily. I Then as she did not return, he put his i foot on the bell under the table and kept it there. "Delia." sternly, as she came to the door again, "why did you go out without answering? . Mrs. Curtis asked you why you didn't boil the potatoes if vou knew the oven didn't bake weil. "Didn't know you wanted them boiled, sir," was the evasive answer. "Well, if she's getting insolent," fumed Warren, as the door again swung after her. "we'll get rid of her ; eo quick it'll make her head swim. You've spoiled her. that's the trouble. ! You've made her feel you couldn't get along without her. That spoils any girl. They take advantage of it every i time." "But, dear, Delia has been so good , in so many ways, and she's so clean ; ebout the kitchen that's everything."

"Lots of other girls are clean, too. end a durn sight moro economical." It was true that Delia was a little extravagant about the cooking. But

If there ever were any doubts existing that the Societa Italiana Cines are the masters of the world in the production of artistic motion photography, George Kleine's production of their photo drama, "Antony and Cleopatra" completely dispels them. When they produced "Quo Vadis" it

was thought the last word had been written, but, according to all accounts, "Antony and Cleopatra" not only rivals but excels it. The greatest love story of history Is told upon the screen with a dramatic power that is amazing and a pictorial beauty that is simply marvelous. George Kleine's

production is thoroughly in keeping with the artistic qualities of the subject and reveals him once again the premier producer of the world. These wonderful pictures are announced at the Murray theatre for next Sunday and Monday.

every girl must have some fault, and Helen had always felt that Delia's many good traits outweighed this one. The next morning, right after breakfast, Helen said briskly: "Now, Delia, I want you to clean this range thoroughly today. You can begin as soon as you get through your dishes. Try to get all this rust off. Take a little kerosene. There's some in that bottle in the lower part of the cupboard." When Delia was in one of her disagreeable moods, she had a way of not answering and even seeming not to hear when she was told to do a

thing. This always irritated Helen, and now as Delia went on putting the dishes into the sink with unnecessary clatter and without a sign that she had heard, Helen added sharply: "When you get through the range I want you to wash all these glass doors in the pantry. That should' ve been done before you put oilcloth on the shelves." As she was talking, Delia turned on full the hot water in the sink, making so much noise that Helen had to raise her voice. This added to her irritation. Had Delia turned on that water purposely? The incident rankled. Perhaps Warren was right perhaps she had spoiled her. At any rate, Helen determined that she would not put up with this sullen insolence any-longer. And she would let Delia understand this at the first, opportunity. I She had not long to wait. An hour later she found Delia in the pantry washing the glass doors. Helen knew that to clean the range properly would have taken much over an hour. And now, when she examined it. she found ;

Delia had simply washed it off, but the rust was all there. I THE BREAK. I "Delia, I told you to take some keri osene and get this rust off." I "Can't get that rust off with keroi sene. That stove needs to be polishi ed, that's what it wants." I "But the gas company doesn't want ' you to use polish on these ranges.

You ought to know that. Bring me the kerosene." Helen poured some in a saucer. "There," showing the rust on the rag. "You see, that takes it off. Now, I want you to do this before you do anything else." But Delia was already back again washing the glass doors. "Don't you understand me, Delia? I said I wanted you to do this before you did anything else." But, with her back to Helen, she was obstinately polishing one of the doors. She did not stop to turn around. "Delia! Do you hear me?" Still Delia did not turn. "Delia, what is the matter with you? This began when we started to move, and you've been growing worse every day. Now I'm NOT going to put up with it! If you don't want to do the work here and do it right, the way I want you to, then I shall get some one else." Delia's face flushed a dull brick red. "You'd better get 'em right away. I'm ready to go now," she put down the rag, wiped her hands on her apron and before Helen could realize what had happened had slammed into her room. Helen looked after her with a curious feeling of dismay. Was she in earnest? Was she really going to LEAVE? i Then slie remembered that this had :

happened once before and almost in the same way. Delia had even gone so far as to pack her trunk, yet a few hours later she had found her in the kitchen preparing dinner as though

j nothing had happened, j She tried to assure herself that J this, too, would end that way. Delia was impulsive and quick-tempered, but her anger was usually soon over. r Helen went on about her work, trying j not to let the incident upset her, but j she found herself listening for every j Bound from Delia's room. At last she heard her come out.

not GONE! Helen waited breathlessly several moments, then went down the hall and opened the door of Delia's room. Her trunk was packed and locked, her strapped suit case set beside it. Placed conspicuously on the bare top of the bureau was a note: "Dear Mrs. Curtis I don't have to work for nobody that always finds fault. Maybe you can get somebody that suits you better. I'll send an expressman for my trunk. "BELIA CDONOUOHUE."

A Man's Game Tonight at the Gennett theatre the Francis Sayles Players will offer for

the last time "A Man's Game." This play has been having a successful week and the house should be sold out tonight. Following the performance tonight another grand amateur contest "will be given. There are already quite a j few names in for this contest, and it is hoped that there will be seven acts. Mr. Eli Mitoff, the strong man, will be one of the feature acts for tonight. Mr. Mitoff claims to be the strongest J man in Richmond, and tonight will be ' seen in several of his own original tricks. Benton Barlow, a popular singer of the city, -will also have a good act for tonight. The Lion and the Mouse. The Lion and the Mouse, which is conceded by press and public to be the great American play, will be the offering of the Francis Sayles Players at the Gennett theatre Saturday, matinee and night only. The play deals with high finance

and love and answering the great question "Can Money Buy Love and Happiness." The story tells of the machinations of John Burkett Ryder, a moeny king, who attempts to break an engagement between his son nd the daughter of a man wham be had ruined in his quest for wealth. Shirley Rossmore, the girl, shows the money king that she is not in love with his son for his riches, but loves the man alone; she also shows herself

to be the master of the money king, and that it is a battle of brains, not money. After the matinee Saturday, a reception will be given on the stage so as to give all a' chance to say goodbye to their favorite players and after theperformance Saturday night a big country store will be given. There will be more than thirty presents and it will be the best country store yet given by (his company.

A Million Dollar Discovery

For half a century doctors and druggists have said: "The man that can take the gripe and nausea out of PoDophyllin or May-Apple Root will make a million dollars." PoDoLax is a May-Apple Root formula. May-Apple grows wild and our ancestors discovered that the root would release bile that had become clogged or dammed up in the liver. Encyclopaedia Britannlca says: "Podophyllin a popular remedy much used by those averse to calomel and mercurial preparations. Is sometimes called 'Vegetable Mercury. Is from

May-Apple Root." It is agreed that the Liver is a strainer, taking the Bile from the '

blood and converting into a disenfectant for the bowels. When the bile clogs or dams up the Liver, it is said to quit acting. The truth is that it is so full of dammed-up Bile it can't strain out the. poisons thrown into the blood. You can take PoDoLax daily, and grow stronger every day. It is not cathartic or purging, but gently ' releases the Bile necessary to Nature's own method of purification and assimilation. You may not be your brother's keeper, but you are responsible for your family. A 50c bottle of PoDoLax will keep every member of your family in fine condition. Try It.

Drug Clerk Tells How to Cure Indigestion. Recommends to Suffers the Best Stomach Remedy in Richmond Today.

"It is a wonder some of us have Utomachs left,'' remarked a wellknown drug cievk recently. "While nil drug stores sell a scoro or more of stomach remedies for which there is n wide demand, most of them ar just pepsin pills which digest, the food that is in the stomach at the time. They have no curative or strengthening effect on the stomach at all, and of course do not rpach or cure the cause, fin the same people keep on coming hove and buying and using them until they arr real chronic dyspeptics. Wlipn anyone really asks my advice. I swear by and recommend ordinary blsurated magnesia, which doesn't di

gest the food at all nut. just, acts as an antac id and sweetens the sour, fermenting contents of the stomach. That stops the pain, heart-bum, sour rising, wind, bloating, fullness, etc., in Just a few minutes, and the stomach digests its food without help or trouble which is the proper way." '"Doctors make mistakes sometimes, too." ho continued. "My own aunt had till kinds of trouble with her stomach for years. She bought and used several styles of digestive pills but got worse right along, as naturally she would. Finally she went to a doctor, w ho nearly scared her to death by telling her she had cancer of the stomach. She came to me with his prescription and told me what he said. I thought it was nonsense. I sent her to another doctor whom I knew very well and he didn't tell her anything, but just gave her this same thing, bisurated magnesia. She took it two weeks and never has had any stomach trouble since and that's three years ago. She's my own aunt and I know this for a fact. Yes. a lot of bisurated magnesia is sold in Richmond All the druggists have it, I suppose, and all von take is a teaspoonful after every jneal. It's all right." c -Mlr-rtleELat)
