How the 1914 Girl Keeps in Trim

By Nell Brinkley

When your gran'mother and mine were young persons, with hair in bobbing curls, ankles in pantalettes, and billows of skirts like whipped cream, a canter in the saddle with plumes and sweeping skirts weighted with bullets at the hem was a bit of fine exercise, I'm tollin' you. And a swaying little stroll in the park was one other way of keeping the blood in her cheeks and

health all over and about her. But NOW! A stroll is bread-and-milk and a canter is a slow business. Is it any wonder the girl who steps so gaily through nineteen-fourteen with her slim hips and voy-carriage is rather coltish because of the life in her? She plays polo, along with the rest of the defenders of the cup driving the little white "pellet' along the

green hotel carpet turf ASTRIDE of her horse, as she should be sticking to her slippery little eggshell saddle as close as the hair on her mount's satin back hitting hard-rher tongue between her teeth like a small boy hair tight to her head, fuss and feathers shaved down to nothing! She plays the grand old game that the boys have just finished, gracefully and generous-

Married Life the Third Year

By MABEL HERBERT URNER. "This is worth looking up," said Warren, pointing to an auction sale announcement as he threw the newspaper into Helen's lap. "They may have some good stuff there." "The entire stock of Ernest Wedimere's antique shop, consisting of many rare specimens of old English, French and Colonial furniture to be sold at auction. "Mr. Wedimere is retiring from business and his choice collection of furniture, curios, porcelains, carvings, etc., will be offered without reserve. Sale commences Thursday, Nov. 15, at 11 o'clock. On view at the Van Norton auction rooms. Catalogues may be had on application." "Oh, that does sound interesting," exclaimed Helen, as she glanced

through the notice. "And I remember the shop, don't you? It was just .around the corner from Fourth avenue. He had some very good things." "Yes, passed htere the other day, a 'building coming down' sign was up then. This may be a genuine sale, but the most of them are fakes." "Fakes, how dear?" "Well, they put goods up at auction and then protect them. Buy most of it in themselves. But you might go around and take a look at the stuff see what they have got." As their new apartment was much larger than their old one, they had many more things still to buy. They both loved old furniture and Helen had been haunting the antique shops. It was her ambition to some day have their home entirely furnished in antiques. So the next morning she started out to the auction rooms, where the goods were advertised to be on view. There was a pile of catalogues on a table near the door. Helen took ont, and began looking about with eager interest. The goods were attractively displayed. The larger pieces of furniture lined the walls, while a number of tables down the middle of the room were laden with interesting old curios, potteries and porcelains. Some old tapestries and rugs and a few paintings hung about. A number of prospective bidders were already there, examining the col- j lection and making notes in their cat-1 alocues. I

Hf-len had paused before a large j

antique desk with a bookcase above. It was a fine old piece,' big and roomy just what they needed most, for

Warrens books .had long ago overflowed their bookcases, and they had I

no place to put them. The number was 389. She turned to her catalogue, "389 Antique Mahogany Secretary." She wondered how much it would bring. Helen had never bought anything at auction, but phe had the impression, as have most women, that everything should bo absurdly cheap. She marked this with a brief description of the article on the margin LESS MEAT IF BACK AND KIDNEYS HURT Take a Glass of Salts tc Flush Kidneys If Bladder Bothers You. Drink Lots of Water. Eating meat regularly eventually produces kidney trouble in some form or other, says a well known authority, because the uric acid in meat excites the Wdneys, 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 etomah, constipation, torpid liver, sleeplessness, bladder and urinary irritation. The moment your back hurts or kidneys aren't acting right, or if bladder bothers you, get about four ounces of Jad Solts from any good pharmacy; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to normal activity; also to neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer irritates, thus ending bladder disorders. Jad Salts cannot injure anyone; makes a delightful effervescent lithiawater drink which millions of men and women take now and then to keep the kidneys and urinary organs clean, thus AvoiSivg serious kidney disease.

And nowadays the dance is a pretty riot that fascinates and enthuses, puts every muscle a-ripple, makes feet, ankles and all the ceaselessly moving body a tireless, beautifully

of the catalogue. She would ask Warren to come and see it. The next piece that claimed her attention was an old-fashioned sewing table. There were two small drawers, fitted with quaint wooden partitions for needles and thread, and underneath was a green silk bat. The silk was old and faded, but that only showed its genuineness, and could easily be

j renewed. Two women were examining a side- , board nearby, and Helen could not ihelp but overhearing their comments. "These handles are new, and I am .sure the claw feet have been put on, ! but I think the rest is genuine." "Yes, I think that is old," pointing

10 one or ine arawers. "These look like the original lockers, but they doctor them up so you can never feel sure. You don't think it is too long?" "Let's measure and see," as she drew a tiny tape measure from her handbag. "Five foot eizht that's nil

ing room doors is just six feet." This bit of . conversation was to Helen most interesting. It showed a knowledge of antique furniture she

tne aavisaDinty or measuring any desired piece to see if it would correspond with one's wall space. There were many other comments equally instructive that Helen overheard as she wandered through the two large rooms crowded with antiques and reproductions. One man, whom she knew was a dealer, for she had seen him in his own Fourth avenue shoD. was eoiner

through the goods with a swiftness of

an expert, making rapid notes in his

catalogue.

As he passed Helen caught a glimpse of figures down the page. Evidently he was markine the limit he would

pay for each article. She would have given a good deal to have been able to copy some of those figures.

Oh, this Is one of those old Pais

ley shawls." A young woman was pointing to a shawl that covered nne

of the tables. Helen had one almost

working thing; shamelessly washes all the powder off a girl's pretty face, sends her blood singing under the skin, and makes of her just the same hippity hop, limber-limbed child she was when she was ten. She boxes oh yes! (Over in France behind your hand say this she fought a fast, furious battle, 'til one of her "went out.")

And to finish off her little round of exercise, she drives her father's motor car with a loose, quick hand, steady nerves, and a dash of Tetzlaff! And. moreover, when it pull3 up with a kind of sinister sound like a breadcrumb in its feed pipe, and CEASES she can get out and get under and coax it back into a steady, sweet hum again. She can adjust a distributor, take the cork

out of the carburetor and examine Its works regulate the urn-ha-ha as thoroughly as the next fellow. Is it any wonder she's a slim, boylike creature? But don't you think don't you really think she's a mighty sweet, feminine, dainty, womanly young person, after all? Just a bundl of GIRL, with it all? Me? I do! Nell Brinkley.

like it that had belonged to her mother, but she had always heard it called "Brochea." "I wouldn't pay over five dollars for it," remarked an older woman, who was with her. "Mrs. Edwards got a much better one than that the other day for seven." "Five dollars! thought Helen, indignantly. She took up a corner of the shawl as the women passed on. It was almost an exact duplicate of her mother's which she had prized so highly, and had thought was worth at least fifty! On the same table were some old ruby glass decanters. Helen was admiring these "when the two women who had commented on the sideboard came yb. "Reproductions," as one o fthem took up a decanter. "It is almost impossible to get any genuine ruby glass now. This lustre ware too," examining a small lustre pitcher. "There is a factory over in Jersey turning these out by the hundreds." Helen was much impressed. Both the decanter and the littlee lustr pitcher had looked to her to be genuine. But if she could not trust her knowledge of these things, she felt sure she could not detect the reproductions in furniture. At last, reluctlantly, she left the place. There was nothing Helen enjoyde more than wandering about among antiques, and every moment she had spent there had been an intense pleasure. On the way home in the street car she studied the catalogue and could hardly wait until Warren came home to tell him about it all. But when he did come he looked tired and irritable, and she decided to wait until after dinner. However, during dinner, he brought up the subject himself. "Well, did you see that stuff today?" "Oh, yes, clear, and htey have some wonderful things there. Wait, I will bring you the catalogue." She got out the catalogue and showed him the things she had marked.

"Oh, if we could only get this," pointing to the item 389 Antique Sheraton Mahogany Secretary. "The bookcase and the desk part is full of little drawers and pigeonholes, there's some secret drawers too it is really an unusual piece." "Um urn, I don't know about those big pieces. You don't want anything too heavy; It will dwarf all the other furniture." "Oh, but Warren, the lines are so good; it doesn't look heavy. Just wait until you see It. And here," pointing to an item on the next page, "I want you to look at this too this long mahogany mirror. It is just the right length to hang over our sideboard. And oh, this old sewing table, if it goes cheap, I should love to have that. "What's this?" asked Warren, pointing to an item farther on. 'Antique Mahogany Celleret.' "Did you see that?" "No, dear, I don't remember." "Well, if it is all rieht. if it s a

good one, we might take a chance at that. We need a cellaret." "But when can you go to see these things, dear? Could you stop by there in the morning?" "Don't know about htat. I have a pretty full day tomorrow." "But the sale begins the day after,": persisted Helen. ! "Well, you ought to be able to size; up that stuff. You have been looking ' around antique shops long enough to j know the value of the things we; want."

"Oh, you mean for me to go to the sale alone?" "Why not? If you look .over the goods beforehand, you ought to be able to buy as well as anybody else. Make up your mind what you want and what you want to pay, and don't bid on anything else. Don't lose your head and get rattled and buy a lot of stuff you don't need, just because it is cheap. That's what most women do at auctions." All the rest of the evening she was mentally fitting out their apartment with rare old antiques exceptional pieces which she felt she could get for "almost nothing." For this is the delusion of auctions. The sale began Thursday. Never had a two days' wait seemed so long."

May Apple Root Oldest Known Medicine Mentioned in Genesis and Songs of Solomon

"Mandrake" is the Biblical name of what we call May Apple. Of the May Apple, Encyclopedia Britannica defining the word Podophyllin says: "Mandrake or May Apple Root, a popular remedy much used by those averse to calomel or other mercurial preparations, hence has been called 'Vegetable Calomel.' " Our grandsires used May Apple Root, tea or, powder as a Liver Regulator. It has survived by virtue of its merit as a starter of Bile. Our forefathers said: "It makes the Liver act" which is true in the sense that it releases the Bile from the Liver. Bile is the one natural germicide that overcomes germ growth in the intestines. A free normal flow of Bile

fis essential to immunity from germ in

fection and intestinal disorders. For years chemists have labored to overcome the only objection ever raised to Podophyllin the griping and at last have succeeded and offer to the world a new formula called "PoDoLax" "PoDo" from Podophyllin and "Lax," meaning laxative or gentle in action as contrasted with its former cathartic or purging effect. PoDoLax is good to taste and is taken by children from a Bpoon or glass without the usual resistance. Best results are had by a single dose when a bad taste, or bad breath, or coated tongue are first noticed. Ask for PoDoLax and be sure to get PoDoLax.
