"Stephen Is -dead. is dead." Sally, rocking; back and forth on the edge of her bed. repeated the words over and over, not getting their import, conscious only that she must do something, nd knowing at the same time she could do nothing. - She tore open the letter and tried to read, but only stared at the big, fami'.iar writing. She raised her eyes distractedly and looked out the window. She saw a man coming up the road, saw him turn In, saw him lift his eyes to her window Willard Rolf. Still Sally did not move. A dreadful inertia gripped her, paralyzing her faculties. A knock sounded on her door. She nodded in essent several times, then, realizing she had not spoken, called out dully, "Yes come In." Dr. Will entered, looked with concern at her droop!ng figure, at her suffering eys, at the open letter. Exhausted as he was himself, his mind could keep on working for her. "Sally, girl, this will not do." He spoke gravely, his hand on her shoulder. "You have not obeyed me." He took a vial from his pocket, poured something into the water gla&s on her table and held It to her Hps. "You must drink this." It was pathetic the way she minded, the way she leaned her slim, weary body against his arm, the way she permitted him to lay her gently down upon the pillow. "Stephen is dead do you know that? Stove is dead " Or. Rolf nodded slowly and watched the gradual ebbing of consciousness In her eyes as her poor little sentence repeated over and over, but more brokenly, more drowsily. She slept. Rolf .walked from tho room, shutting the door gently. The sun was high when Sally woke. A sullen thunder penetrated her sleep. Nothing unfamiliar, just the guns. But not even the unprecedented vio lence of the bombardment stirred her to more than waking. Still wrapped In her half-trance of weariness she got to her feet, her hands at her temples, wnere untoward turmoil prevailed. A 6luggish stream of ambulances toiled along, tho straining engines, mingling their noise with the shouts of the drivers as they tried to pass one another in desperate haste to; reach the hospital. '
l! UNUSUAL VEIL MAKES THIS HAT SMART
Ideas in fall hats are coming by twos and threes into the market. Most of the hats turn up and away from the face, and the ways in which they turn are numerous as can be. This one has decided to spurn the left cheek and turns abruptly up from it. Leaves are embroidered on the crown and brim on the right side. The unusual veil arrangement gives an added touch to Ue hat which is captivating.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a girl of seventeen. My friend and 1 have gone together for about a year. We nearly worship each other. Mother and I are living alone. She does not want this fellow and me to go together. The least thing we do, she sees something wrong about it. She Is very good in her way, but we don't see things alike. If this fellow and I quit, we will never be satisfied. We know because we have quit three times and the third time we both went with j others, but were not satisfied, so we J 6tarted to go together again. As soon ; as we can see our way clear we are Intending to make arrangements for getting a home of our own. Mother says she would rather have us marry than do just little things that worry her. She thinks we think too much of each other. We are afraid that if we marry she would not like him. I would hate that. What do you think would be best? THANK YOU? I think it would be better to brave your mother's disapproval of "little things" than to marry. You should not consider marriage until you are at least twenty. Do not disobey your mother. She is older and wiser and knows from experience what it is best not to do. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I have two elsters. They seem to be very popular with the boys, but I am not At times when I am among boys I seem bashful I'm strong for PflSFTffiOTS -soys My fevorite lyrcvon 'heatsavii food I
Only one thought was clear in our
Sally's mind. She must get back to the Shack and help. Down through the garden she hurried. Trudging in the mud beside the ambulances she pressed ahead and soon came upon a scene of such work as had not been known before Strange faces beit over strange wounded. New contingents of doctors and nurses had come to grapple with this tidal wave of broken men that streamed ahead of the drive the en emy had renewed. She barely glimpsed Dr. Rolf working over something she could not see what. A doctor she did not know but whose authority she felt stared at her drawn face, hesitated an Instant, then gave her some simple work to do. No one, no matter how spent, could be spared. She worked on mechanically, unthinking Presently an ambulance with some thing familiar about it brought a gleam of memory, "Where Is Roger Landis?" she ask ed the driver, a youth who alternated with Roger in running it. The boy looked queerly at her. "Haven't you seen today's lists?" Sally shook her head slowly. The young man saw that he had not shock' ed greatly that nothing could and was relieved. "Croix de Guerre," he said in low tone. "They gave It to him Just as he was going out. He's done his big bit at Thierry. God, what work he did!" He swung to his seat and drove off, glad there was no time to SDare for feeling, and lurched off down the road to the Inferno beyond A look of pa'n came into Sally's eyes. But before it could become poignant the call of hundreds In dire extremity came to her too. fene turn ed back to Shack 3 to tend to all her "children. Leaden hours passed days full of galley-slave toll. She was scarcely j more than an automaton. She even felt no surprise when the new doctor, whose authority penetrated even her j deadened senses, stopped her one evening and said: "You are to leave, Miss Orme, on the evening train with Dr. Rolf for Boulogne. He has directions for you You are to go back to the states. You will please get ready at once, (To be continued.) ,,y.-'"t' and have nothing to say. How can I become popular? I dress nicely. ANNE. Do you take an interest in sports and dancing? If you take part in athletics it ought to do much to cure you of your bashfulness. To be active is to forget yourself. Do not worry about being popular with boys. With so many of our young men in France it Is a national complaint that girls are lonely and crave popularity which they cannot obtain. Be a good listen er if you are too shy to be a goo,d talker. Probably if you try you can ask questions that will make the boy talk about subjects that interest him Dear Mrs. Thompson I am a girl twenty years old, and would like to have your advice on a problem for which I am not able to use my judgment. I am working in a factory and am the only girl working on this floor. There is a young man who works next to my desk and who continually looks at me and casts his glances toward me. I think a good bit of him and do you think it would be advisable to flirt with him or accept a date with him? BLUE EYES. I do not think you should flirt with him. If he wishes to call on you he will ask you in the proper way. Dear Mrs. Thompson Please tell me how long before marriage should an engagement be announced? What days in the week . are most suitable for weddings? How old does a girl have to be to become a Red Cross nurse? THANKING YOU. At least a month should separate the announcement from the wedding. Some people wait as long as a year. but that is too long. The best time is from one month to ten weeks. Saturday is a very popular day in the week for weddings. Almost any day except Friday and Sunday is suitable. A girl must be 19 to become a Red Cross nurse. Age brings discretion. The longer you keep a secret the less important it seems to tell it

(Br Asuoclated Press) AMSTERDAM, Aug. 15.-The moral deterioration of the German cation In consequence of wartime trials Is greatly troubling clear-mlnded'observers of the Fatherland. The Lutheran Synod of Berlin the other day called a special meeting to discuss how to deal with the dissolute ways of the thousands of young munition workers, male and female, who habitually squander their high wages in riotious living and immorality. It was agreed that most of the youth of the country seemed to be entirely beyond control. Much has already been written about the unsafety of the public streets, and the general callous indifference to the suffering of others. This seems to apply to the whole of Germany. "Every man's hand seems to be against his neighbor," the Cologne Gazette despairingly exclaims, and it devotes a whole article to the Intense if latent anger of the populase at the extortions to which it Is subjected by the unscrupulous methods of tradesmen, who, in their turn are made the victims of deficient government control and the usurious practices of producers. Popular discontent is fanned by announcements of extravagant profits, such as those made by a meat firm which supplies the army. It operated with a capital of a million marks and in one year netted a profit of 722,638 marks. Sarcastic comment abounds in respect of the newly rich who flaunt their recently acquired wealth In the faces of their less favored fellow citizens. The vulgarian who at a restaurant calls for "three times a portion of whatever Is most expensive" is a standing type. Another feature is the phenomenal demand for real estate by war profiteers whose aim is to become "lord of a manor." The German Tageszeitung the other day contained no fewer than 25 advertisements for country estates wanted at once, from 1,000 to 2,600 acres, price no object, although land has risen to double, and Ecmetimes treble, the value of pre-war times. All these things 6erve to embitter the helpless poorer classes to a degree the danger of which has not escaped the attention of tho powers that be, as witness recent arrangements made at Munster, Westphalia,

where the service of the clergy ljas been enlisted by the officials of the war food department to keeping down the growing popular discontent over the food difficulties. Even the Rhenish Westphalian Gazette, which gives publicity to this Interesting piece of news, expresses the fear that the last few months preceding the harvest will be na exceedingly trying time, and for this reason the war food department wishes to remain in constant touch with the minor clergy, so as to have the benefit of their observations among the people. With reference to this, the socialistic Vorwaerts prophetically exclaims "After the wr there will be only two camps war profiteers and out and out socialists."
Notice to Druggists Price Advance For over a year now we have succeeded in maintaining our old prices, principally by virtue of a big increase in , sales, which reduced our overhead cost. For our fiscal year ending July 1, 1918, our sales amounted to over a million dollars an increase of 68 over the preceding year. We had hoped to bridge the war period without a change in prices on Vick's VapoRub bat we find that nnr ernn. omies do not keep pace with our rising costs. It is with sincere regret, therefore, that we are forced to announce an increase, effective August 1. which will make it necessary to retail VapoRub at 30c, 60c and $1.20 The Vick Chemical Co.
