TWO WOMEN SEE THE FUTURE Janet's weeks of rest at tbe Hill Farms Inn had been to her of distinct and varied benefit To change one's living conditions every once In a while Is a tonio to mind and body. The luxury of living softly, eating good things she did not have to plan herself, sleeping late in the mornings and being in an atmosphere of wealth and idleness made Janet's - physical self as sleek as a pedigreed cat But her true self, her mental and spiritual self, was as alert and active as ever. Luxury had plainly shown her that such a life held no charm for her as a performance. "What is your dearest wish for the future?" she musingly asked her new hotel-made acquaintance, Dorothea Crafton, as they lounged In the sun parlor. Mrs. Crafton put down her magazine (it was one of those 25cent ones that are supposed to circulate among the very best people) and lifted up her handsome eyes. "Dear me! You do startle one so with your serious questions!" she answered not unamiably. "I don't trouble about' the future. With so many uninteresting things to do in the present, so many boresome entertainments to plan and musicales to arrange and charities to support, why bother about the future?" "But you have to think of It sometimes," urged Janet, eager to draw out this butterfly woman whose heart she suspected was not so butterfly as it seemed. "How do you picture your future?' ' - - Mrs. Crafton regarded Janet steadily for a moment, as if deciding wheth- . er to be frank. She decided to be frank. , "As a queen!" was her arresting response. "I want power, my dear. And I shall have it. Life has denied me everything else. . I told you the other day how how I I how my kiddle died and that I shall never again be a mother. Very well" she tossed her head with a dismissing gesture and snapped her fingers impatiently "that's finished! I do not happen to have a husband who is interested in anything but timber lands and coal tar products. What's left to me but money and the power it will give?" ... "But that's just it the power it

gives!" echoed Janet "You could do so many splendid things have so' much fun. sYou could be a perfect' fairy princess!" . ,, ' "Fairy princess, fiddlesticks! You mean go about uplifting the poor, j Well, we don't all have our fun the , same way. The Lady Bountiful act; never appealed to me. And suffrage (

work bores me. And missionary activities make me tired. And I subscribe for the relief funds as It is. No, my dear, give me social life and beautiful clothes and big names to juggle with on my dinner lists and dance cards." , "But I mean when you are older. Wouldn't you like to establish something? Do something that will go on and on after you have " "Oh, perhaps." Mrs. Crafton conceded interruptlvely. "I dare say I shall leave a fund or something. But if I have a dearest wish, it is to bring certain social leaders I know to their knees and to have a place in the world that will make my name known everywhere " "Like Sapollo," laughed Janet wickedly, "or Quaker Oats! But there, I apologize. I understand what v you mean by power," she went on, changing to the seriousness she actually felt. "I want it too but not that kind. I'd like to travel and see the whole world and compare the way they do things in different - places. And I'd like to hear all the music and read all the books and look at all the pictures and meet all the people and have all the fun and do all the things there are to do! And then come home and settle down with Walt in a darling little country place somewhere and write books on all sorts of advanced topics for the rest of my life. I'd like to change everything in the world that Is wrong. I'd like to wake people up and educate them and show them what Is worth while and what Isn't " The sudden whirr of a motor at the broad window cut off Janet's speech. From behind the wheel of a masmificent car wriggled a magnifl-

s ati r man in a mnenificent fur coat. I

"There that's what I call worth while!" said Dorothea Crafton, eyeing the man as he entered the inn. "Why why, it is Roy Nicoll," gasped Janet. (To be continued.)

HEART AND BEAUTY PROBLEMS By Mrs. Elizabeth Thompson

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a boy of sixteen. My father died and mother is still alive and guardian over me. I don't like to go to school and bo mother told me to get a job and go to work. "You shall not be a broom or a tramp," she said. So I got a job and I am getting good pay. Now mother draws all my wages and furnishes my clothes, ' does ' my washing and gives me some spending money. How can I arrange it so that she cannot draw any of the" money? "Is there any law about this so that I can do with my money as I please? H. E. S. There is no law which will entitle you to your pay until you are of legal age. Your mother Is to be heartily congratulated on her good judgment. By the time you are twenty-one you will have developed a good character because you have not had money to dissipate and will not get bad habits. You will also have learned the value of money because with the little your mother gives you, you are learning the value of careful spending. Sometime you will be more than grateful to your mother for the course she has taken. I would advise you to return to school and get a good education regardless of your distaste for studies. An ignorant man is handicapped all through life. Dear Mrs. Thompson: We would like to give a hard times party and would like to have you suggest a lunch to serve and how to decorate the rooms. , ' ' ' We would like to , dress In fancy costumes. Can you suggest what would be nice to wear? SUGAR PLUMS. Serve hot chocolate, bread and butter and sugar, and bananas. The rooms, of course, should represent hard times. Put brown paper patches on one or two of the window panes, and. if you choose, paint cracks in the panes. Get out your oldest fur-

Vital force Is the material from which leaders in all walks of lifo aro made, it is well worth getting and holding. The health and nerve of the athlete.

No wonder that every Inch of his system Is filled with, energy and health, his nerves like Iron, spirits high, hard tasks a pleasure and life one song of joy. A leading: Doctor says. "Everyone nhould feel this way. That if you are not red blooded, are nervous, all run down and on your last legs, for you tq build up your blood and nerves with exercise, fresh air, nourishing food and. Nature's great prescription, PhosphaU ed Iron a real blood and nerve builder' , He also-avs, "Phosphated Tron feeds the blood cells with iron and Nerve, force, and that leading specialists are now using It successfully all over the country, that It Is one of the few remedies that better class doctors can now depend on to produce results".

niture and remove the bric-a-brac and other ornaments. Wear clothes which are noticeably out of style. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a piano teacher. I have taken piano lessons about eight years and have also gone to a school of music. Will you please advise me how to get pupils? THANK YOU. To Advertise would be the most ef

ficient way to get pupils, but such a

course might be too expensive, xou fan. hnwevpr. advertise in a small way

by putting a sign at the side of your

front door reading "fiano lessons.: Get a good sign such as doctors use. Tell your friends you are giving lessons and ask them to keep you in mind if they hear of prospective pupils. It would also pay to call at homes where there are children of an age to take lessons. "Bertha" (misunderstood and imposed upon sister): A most interesting letter has come to me. which the writer want9 forwarded to you and not published in my column. If you care to send me your address I will see that you get the communication. Your address will be kept strictly private and given out to no one. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I have a pair of white cloth shoes. Is there a certain kind of polish for cleaning them, and if there is, what is it? LILLIAN MAE. There are several kinds of efficient white shoe cleaners on the market for cloth shoes. Ask your shoe dealer to recommend one of them. h " If clear, and firm and made from distilled water, ice should weigh very nearly" 57 pounds to a cubic foot.

1,500,000 FRENCH KILLED An Atlantic fort France In four years of conflict to preserve' her own liberty and that of the world, according to Andrew Tardie, French high commissioner to tbe United States, has lost 1,500,000 men killed and as many wounded. America owes France an enormous debt of gratitude for this outpouring of her life's blood and also for the reported saving of thousands of lives in this country and throughout the world through the discovery by French peasants of a perfect remedy for stomach, liver and intestinal ailments which, it i3 said, has relieved incalculable suffering and prevented thousands of surgical operations. Geo. H. Mayr, prominent Chicago chemist, imports the ingredients and sells this remedy in America under the name of Mayr's Wonderful Remedy. It is a simple, harmles preparation that removes the catarrhal mucus from the intestinal tract and allays the inflammation which causes practically all stomach, liver and intestinal ailments, Including appendicitis. One dose will convince or money refunded., Thlstlethwaite's 6 Drug Stores and druggists everywhere.
