Helen and Warren Series; Story of Their Married Life

Warren yawned, raised himself on i his elbow, and stared at -the small nickel clock that was half ."hidden by the thermo bottle. v Leaning out of bed to move the bottle, with sleepy awkwardness he knocked off the tumbler beside It. . Oh oh ! " as the , crash awoke Helen, "What's that?" :,v 'Smashed a glass." . "It's one of the good glasses, too," drowsily. . , "W.,vi : .-r' "Then. why the devil jdo you put things so I can't see the clock?" settling down for another five minutes. "Hope you had enough aid last night this room's cold as Greenland." Helen, who always got up and closed the windows, now with shivering reluctance slid out of bed. ,.' nl her haste a fluttering curtain caught in the sash, and the icy wind blew mercilessly through her thin night gown as she tried to free It. Then she stooped to turn on the heat, and then, chilled through, crept back into bed. f "No, you don't!" growled Warren. "Warm up on your own side." A sound of water gurgling in the radiator then a loud vicious thump. More gurgling, and more thumps. You didn't turn it on full that a what makes that blasted noise!" "I turned it on as far as it would go," dreading to get up again. In the gray light of the winter morning, the room was dim and cheerless. Selen's head ached dully, and a f eelg of utter dejection made her long to sink back Into the oblivion of leep. . The dining room clock etruck the talf-hour. -. "I tell you, we've got to get to bed earlier." with a vicious Jerk Warren threw back the bedclothes. "Tonight I'm going to turn In right, after dinner." - . . . Thi nraa mis nf Warren s stock res olutions. Yet even if they spent the evening at home he would always read until twelve. ' ' . , "Oh, be ' careful of that broken glass!" warned Helen, as he lurched out of bed. ' V . Thursting his feet into his slipper, he slammed into the bathroom. Helen still lay huddled in bed. Getting up was always hard, but getting up this dark, frosty morning was excruciating. Her whole body shrank from leaving the sheltering warmth of the bedclothes. As a rule she got up when Warren did, but sometimes she allowed herself the few extra moments until he stropped his razor. That was her ultimatum. Zip-swish! The first stroke on the razor strop! With a heroic effort. Helen forced herself put of bed and ran into her room. r For a moment she crouched over the radiator. Then, turning on the light by her dresser, with numb fingers. she thrust up her hair,.. .By th.te.time. Warren was out of the bath room. As Helen went in the drenched shower-sheet was an accusing reminder Warren's cold t morning shower . ' i ...mui form of torture unUlhrrerdTrthe"youth-pre8erv-in" virtues of the cold spray, and resolved to form the habit. For three mornings she had forced herself under under the Icy stream; then her courage had failed. Mri "Come here and look at this Bhirt! called Warren angrily. "In Just a minute," gulping down a glass of water, an "internal" morning bath that Helen never omitted. "You're to send nothing more to that laundry understand?" throwing down his brushes, his hair sleek from the TiS8 eamTned8- the torn neckband V so UU not h"Yes: you fixed that pleated one, and my neck's raw yet. Call up that StEs laundry-the one we had last yCwith a conciliatory "All right, dear," Helen hurried back to her Jom-. w She finished dressing, then threw up the window, leaned out and drew in ten long, deep breaths of the trosly Itr-anfiher morning health-giving habit that Helen never negatedWhen she came into the dining room, Warren was at the tame glancing over the war news. The deep, frowning lines between his eyes . were the danger signals of a fault finding and querulous mood. The next half hour, until he left for the office, Helen knew fvould be a trying one. She must say nothing to Irritate him, or he would go off in a temper that she would worry over for the rest of the day. "See here, if it takes you so Infernally long why don't you get up in time?" "I'm going to, dear. Hereafter, I'm QUIT MEAT IF YOUR KIDNEYS ACT BADLY Take tableapoonful of Salts If Back hurts or Bladder bothers. We are a nation of meat eaters and our blood is filled with uric acid, says a well-known authority, who warns us to be constantly on guard against kidney trouble. The kidneys do their utmost to free the blood of this Irritating acid, but become weak from the overwork; they get sluggish; the eliminatlve tissues clog and 'thus the waste Is retained in the blood to poison the entire system. When your kidneys ache and feel like lumps of lead, and you have stinging pains in the back or the urine is cloudy, full of sediment, or the bladder is irritable, obliging you to seek relief during the night; when you have severe headaches, nervous and dizzy spells, sleeplessness, acid stomach or rheumatism in bad weather, get from your pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts r take a tableapoonful in a glass of water before breakfast each morning and In a few days your kidneys will act fine.

going to get up and take a shower before you do."

"Huh," contemptuously. "Ill believe that when I see It." He ate his grapefruit in grumpy silence, the paper propped up before him. His cereal he pushed away with an Irascible "What's the matter with that cream? Look like it's blued!" "He didn't leave nothln" but milk this mornin', sir. That's the top of the bottle," volunteered Emma, as she cam a in with the bacon and eggs. Helen poured the coffee .and served Warren with two eggs " and three pieces of bacon, and herself with one egg and two pieces of bacon. This was their regulation breakfast practically the year around. . : ) "Why in "thunder can't I ever get bacon cooked the way I want it? This stuff's too a crisp," rapping it with his fork. "Dear, . she does cook yours less. That doesn't look very well done." ; " "You ' mean that's the way YOU want it burnt to a shrivel.' How much nourishment do you think's in that? If I didn't get a good square lunch I'd not go far on this breakfast." "Why, dear, you know I want you to have everything Just as you want it." "Huh, I know that bluff. You take mighty good care to have things YOUR way. You want your bacon like dried chips, and your boiled eggs hard as bullets so I've" got to stand for the same kind of fodderi" Helen did not try to meet this tirade with argument. Instead she rang for the maid. "Emma," as the girl came to the door, "after this don't cook any of the bacon so much. I'll take mine the same as Mr. Curtis. Cut it thicker and don't crisp it." But even this effort at conciliation Warren ignored. Having gulped down his second cup of coffee, he took. up his. paper, pushed back his chair, and strode out into the hall. For a' moment Helen's hurt resentment kept her from running after him. He was getting into his overcoat. She heard the rattle of his cane as he took it from the rack then the opening of the hall door. "Warren!" She darted after him but the door had closed. Even then she felt he would come back, to kiss her goodbye with an Ironical, "Thought I'd gone, eh?" The seconds passed. She opened the door. He was not standing before the elevator. The hall was empty. "Shall I put this cloth in the wash, ma'am or will it do for lunch?" as Helen, heartsick, passed the dining room. "Yes no, oh, it doesn't matter," running to the front room window. A delivery boy with a basket, a couple of girls hurrying ..to work, a shambling old man in a wind-whipped, threadbare coat except for these the street was empty. , Warren had already turned the corner. It was foolish to feel so wretched, she told herself with passionate reassurance. She had done nothing to irritate him. It was not her fault. She must not let this spoil her day. But Helen had the feminine trait of magnifying the thing that distressed her by the simple process of brooding. By noon she had visions of Warren leaving her altogether, and of herself facing a loveless and destitute old age.j The impulse to "do something" to avert these threatening calamities was irresistible. She could not longer keep away from the phone. She must call him up before he went to lunch. . His stenographer answered. "Yes, Mrs. Curtis, Mr. Curtis is right here. Just a moment!" "Hello!" it was Warren's voice, curt and hurried. "Oh, dear, I couldn't help calling you up," quiveringly. "I I'm awfully sorry about that bacon." "Eh. what's that?' "I I'm so sorry about the bacon." "Talk up, I can't hear you," Impatiently. "Wait a minute. Miss Middleton," to his stenographer, who was evidently typing. "Now. what is it?" Something in the curt matter-of-factness of his voice helped restore Helen's .sense of proportion. "Oh, I I," floundering desperately for something to say, "I Can't find the name of that laundry. I thought maybe you'd have it down there." "Oh," in impatient disgust, "I -can't

We have on display a -choice collection of Oriental Rugs, from one of the best firms in Fifth avenue, New York, represented by M. H. Bozyan who will offer these rugs at very reasonable prices. There is a scarcity of Oriental Rugs in this country and, the indications are that these goods will become scarcer and scarcer for several years to come. We urge our patrons and friends who are interested in these beautiful goods to avail themselves of this opportunity, to see or purchase. IN THE ANNEX

bother about that now. Colonial Cumberland, some such name. ;- Look it up In the book. By the way. I met Stevena In the subway; they want us to come to dinner Thursday. See It I've got a clean white waistcoat." Helen turned from the phone with an hysterical desire to laugh. Would she never learn? It was always like this she was always anguishing over something to which Warren had not given a thought. . . " Did other women wear themselves out in just such futile hours of useless, youth-wasting worry? Were the peace of mind and happiness of other wives so pathetically dependent upon their husband's moods? Or, did she alone analyze and anguish over every trivial discord?.

Her death A Message To Thin Weak Scrawny Folks An Easy Way to Gain 10 to 30 Pounds Of Solid, Healthy Permanent Flesh. Thin, nervous, undeveloped men and women everywhere are heard to say, "I can't understand why I do not get fat. I eat plenty of good nourishing food." The reason is just this: You cannot get fat, no . matter how much you eat, unless your digestive organs assimilate the fat-making elements of your food instead of passing them out through the body as waste. What is needed is a means of gently urging the assimilative functions of the stomach and intestines to absorb the oils and fats and hand them over to the blood, where they may reach the starved, shrunken, run-down tissues and build them up. The thin person's body is like a dry sponge eager and hungry for the fatty materials of which it is being deprived by the failure of the alimentary canal to take them from the food. A splendid way of working to overcome this sinful waste of flesh building elements and to stop the leakage of fats is to try Sargol, the famous flesh building agent that has been so widely sold in America in recent years. Take a little Sargol tablet with ever meal and see if you cheeks don't quickly fill out and rolls of firm healthy flesh form over your body, covering each bony angle and projecting point. Clem Thistlethwaite's four stores and other good druggists have Sargol or can get it from their wholesaler, and will refund your money if you are not satisfied with the gain in weight it produces as stated on the guarantee in each large package. It is inexpensive, easy to take and highly efficient. NOTE Sargol is recommended only as a flesh builder and while excellent results in cases of nervous indigestion, etc., have been reported, care should be taken about using it unless a gain of weight is desired. adv.

Eminent Physicians Failed In Kidney Trouble I wish to Inform you of the great benefit I have derived from the use of Swamp-Root. I had been a sufferer for more than three years from Kidney and Liver trouble and was almost constantly treated by the most eminent physicians, who could only 'give me temporary relief. I could hardly get from one room to the other without help, and had been in bed five days when I began the use of SwampRoot. Inside of twenty-four hours I could see some benefit. I continued to use Swamp-Root until I had used two bottles when I really felt that my old trouble was completely cured; and I am positive that any person suffering with kidney or liver trouble can be cured by the use of this preparation. I am 50 years of age and In good health. It hast been fourteen years since I had this trouble and I do not know how to express myself as strongly as I desire in favor of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root. I am sure that it saved ray life, and that my health is due to this remedy. I heartily recommend it to every sufferer of kidney trouble. Yours truly, S. E. TAYLOR, State of Georgia Hall County Personally, came S. E. Taylor, to me personally known and who on oath says the facts stated on the opposite page are true.
