What the Women are Doing. The women of the waring nations are nursing, cheering and comforting the wounded or dying. The women of Europe not only wrap bandages and scrape lint, but they tend the farms, dig coal, carry burdens and do the work of the men now under arms. Every male fighter, however brawny and heroic, was born of woman; the high courage and hardihood that are a nction's strength are inherited from the mother. Young mothers who preserve the charms of face and figure in spite of en increasing family and the care of growning children are always to be envied. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription gives the strength and health upon which happy motherhood depends. It practically does away with the pains of maternity. It enables the mother to nourish the infant life depending on her, and enjoy the hourly happiness of watching the development of a perfectly healthy child. Thousands of women who are now blessed with robust health cannot understand why thousands of other women continue to worry and suffer from ailments peculiar to women when they can obtain for a trifling sum Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, which will surely and quickly banish all pain, distress and misery and restore the womanly functions to perfect health.

(PnbUibad bj spaclai permission Green Book Matntne)

Poverty is a hard school. A woman who has slaved for years over a wash board may, perhaps, be pardoned some selfishness and considerable hardness of character as well as of forearm. After all, the job of raising three children is probably as big a one as running a fair-sized corporation. At any rate, it's harder work. One doesn't have to go to bed and have the corporation and then feed It and clothe it and send it to school. The children of one's mind do not bring agony at their birth and they are born full grown. Such reflections, however, did not enter into poor little Gertrude's head. She Just couldn't understand. Her mother's attitude agonized her. All that she wanted in the world was Jack, and now that she must lose him, even her mother turned against her. In her torment she told of him told that he wanted to marry her. This gave her mother's diatribes a new turn. She demanded to know whether or not her daughter was a fool. ' She asked Gertrude if she loved Jack. When Gertrude admitted that she did Mrs. Meyer started to put on her hat She was going to a lawyer, she said, and either Jack would marry Gertrude or Mr. Scott would pay handsomely. In an agony, Gertrude promised that she would go to Jack at once. She was In the dilemma of being either the cause of ruining his financial standing or his mother's happiness and being made a party to blackmailing his father. She took her hat. wearily, and went into the street and started for the Scott residence. Jack had come home. Calling up a detective agency, he told them to put all their men on the job of finding Gertrude. He was describing her eyes to an amused secret service man at the other end of the line, when he looked up into them. Gertrude had been ushered in and stood before him. He jumped from the telephone and gathered her in his arms. She told him the situation with her motherbut added that she didn't want to ruin his life. His arguments interspersed with kisses, which were probably more effective than his words finally overcame her prejudices against being the cause of his downfall and the substitution of Scott & Co. for Scott & Son. , .He hid her in a den off the drawingroom, and, searching for his mother, told her that he was going to marry the stenographer in her husband's office. Jack's mother refused to meet Gertrude for a long time; but she finally gave In and Jack brought Gertrude from her hiding place and his mother took her into her arms and brought her upstairs to her room to meet Jack's sister, Jack tagging along. Jubilant. Scott brought Stuart along with him when he arrived. The first bit of information they got was that Gertrude and Jack were upstairs with Mrs. Scott. Jerrold R. felt the world sinking from under him. It was inconceivable that the girl would not tell. Stuart was grave. Jerrold R. was frantic. He walked up and down the room, utterly robbed of self-control. In the midst of this emotional cyclone on the part of Jerrold R., Jack came down the stairs. Jerrold R, shouted at him before he had reached the foot: "Where's your mother?" "Upstairs," answered Jack shortly. "Where's the girl?" "Gertrude? Upstairs with mother." Jack walked nonchalantly across the room and looked out of the window. Jerrold R. followed, forcing his stepson to turn around and listen to him. "It's a fine game!" he exploded. "Now I want you to pay a little attention to this! You could have had anything if you had come out in the open like a man; but I will not be blackmailed!" "Blackmailed! Jack literally Jumped at the word. "What are you two talking about?" Jerrold R. walked up and down the room, firing his words at Jack. "Don't forget this! It isn't me you're fighting. It's your mother. Dont drive me to it, or I'll walk out the front door and this house will come tumbling down about your ears. I won't be spanked into being good like a naughty schoolboy!" He stopped and glared at his stepson, drawing himself up to his full height, "I am Jerrold R. Scott, and don't you forget it! This is my house and your mother is my wife. Everything that goes here will be done as I wish! Now go upstairs and tell your mother anything you want to!" Mrs. Scott had heard the last sentence. She had just appeared at the landing on the stairs. "What is there to tell me?" she asked, coming down the rest of the way. "This young man your son" began Jerrold R., "has taken the bit in his teeth, just because I won't let him defy me and outrage me!" "But what has he done?" she asked, wonderingly. "He told me about your opposition to his marrying the little girl upstairs" "Yes. And, I suppose, everything else. And it's true. And I don't propose to be tried like a prisoner before a judge and jury , in my own home, either! It's true, and what's more I'm guilty. What are you going to do about. It?" .

Mrs. Scott clasped her hands. perplexedly. ' . . i - "Guilty? Why, Jerrold, dear. I don't understand you." "What he told you Is true," persisted Jerrold R., frantically. "I cant ask forgiveness; I won't. It Isn't in my nature. If this ru. be forgottenwell, that will end it, and things will go on as though this had never happened. If not if not Stuart will arrange a settlement." "A settlement? Stuart? Why, this Is some terrible mystery! What Jack interposed: "I won't have you

going on like this," he said to his stepfather. He turned to his mother and took her arm. "All that I told . you was true, mother; but that mustn't grieve you." "But there'B something else," she persisted, puzzled. "There must have been." "That girl!" began Jerrold R. Jack interrupted hastily. "No, mother, that was all about Gertrude." A great light dawned on Jerrold R. "You mean!" he managed to gasp to Jack. Jack looked him squarely In the eye. "I mean that I told my mother that against your better judgment I chose your stenographer for my wife and risked breaking up my own family. You and mother needn't take up my fight I will leave here tonight." "Then then you have no nothing to forgive me for anything that requires an explanation?" Jerrold R. inquired faintly of his wife. "Nothing," she answered bitterly. "I have my explanation. Jack is my son. I cannot insist on your supporting him further in luxury." "That is all? I am to understand " "You are to understand that I h ve the utmost confidence in my son, and that little girl upstairs may look me squarely In the face and call me 'mother.' That is all she has asked. She shall do so." With a bow to Stuart she left the room. "You told her nothing?" Jerrold R. asked Jack, incredulously. "I told her what you heard me re-, peat here." "Nothing more?" "That was all I bad tie heart to tell her." "And you stopped ae Just In time to keep me from tel ig her the whole nasty affair myself!' Jerrold R. had discovered the innat decency of youth. Jack started to go. "Wait a minute," Jerrold R. stopped him with a gesture. "Do I understand that you are Without plans for your future support?" "Not a plan; but I'll get by." "How would you like to take the place of that Paris man who has caused us so much trouble?" "You want me to work for you?" asked Jack slowly. "For both of us for Scott & Son." "I thought that was all over." "It was my gift to your mother. You spared her one blow. Permit me to be as generous. You will like it in Paris. The trip across will give you and your bride a pleasant honeymoon. When can you sail?" Slowly Jack came forward. Jerrold R. extended his hand. Jack took it. "Tomorrow," he said. Jerrold R. turned to Stuart "Stuart," said he, "I wish you'd go and telephone tonight to the Y. W. C. A. home and get this Wiggins woman. Tell her to come to my office in the morning." "Private office?" asked Stuart. "Yes." "Secretary or stenographer?" "Call it what you like," replied Jerrold R. "The difference has passed out of my life." "Thank God for small favors!" said Stuart fervently, reaching for his hat Liable for European Military.

Woman Attempts Suicide Inability to Obtain Narcotic Believed to Have Caused , 51 Years Old, to Seek Death. As a climax to a desperate struggle with "dope" victims who have beseiged the office of Dr. Richard A. Poole, coroner, 19 North East street, since the Federal drug act went Into effect March 1, Dr. Poole's office was broken into Sunday night and a bottle containing fifty morphine tablets was stolen. Nothing else in the office was molested. The thief removed a window pane in the rear of the office and unlocked a window. On leaving the thief carefully closed the window and replaced the pane. Dr. Poole missed the morphine bottle yesterday and an investigation disclosed where the pane had been removed. It was broken at one corner. Drug victims are becoming more desperate every day. The supplies of drugs which many laid in before the Federal drug law went into effect March 1 are becoming exhausted and physicians are being beseiged by scores of desperate persons who say they must have drugs or die. An attempted suicide and a drug store robbery yesterday both were said to have been caused by the closing down of the traffic in "dope."
