She Married An Average Man

BY ZOE BECKLEY

Webster, Ind.

Jim remained firm in his rciusal to speak to the foreman about contributing to the support of his deserted family. There is a stern, hard side to Jim that I never even dreamed of before we were married. 1 lay awake all night thinking what the foreman's poor wife had told me about being independent of my husband. She is right, too. She was talking sound economics the greatest question of modern times and she didn't know it. When Jim left the house this morning we were still deadlocked in the matter of the foreman. Jim was determined not to speak to him. I was tlrm in my resolve to do it if he would not. I knew he would telephone mo before I could leave home. And he did.

"Well, little Lady Headstrong, got over your stubbornness?" asked Jim in an elephantine effort to be playful I was in no mood to endure it. "No, my dear," said I quietly. "I'm coming down as soon as I can get -dressed. I shan't make any disturbance; don't be afraid of that. But I cannot see another woman suffer a3 she is without trying to help her." Silence at the other end of the wire. Then, in a crisp tone: "Very well, Ann, I'll speak to Hanley if you'll promise not to come " Of course I readily promised and went about my household tasks with lightened heart. I was poring over my Christmas list at Jim's desk later in the day when I found I was scribbling on a sheet of paper with writing on the other side. Naturally I glanced at it. It was the beginning of a note from Jim to his mother in Middleport "Thank you. dear," it said, "for your sweet interest in us and all your sound advice. Ann is truly a wonderyJ ful woman and a splendid wife. A ' little given to headstrongness, a bit prone to insist on her own way. but

I'll take that out of her fast enough, trust your 'manful boy' for that. She is really sweet, natured, for all her strength of mind, mother, darling, and a corking housekeeper. You'll appreciate that when you come to visit us I'd insist on your coming for Christmas except that we shall be at sixes and sevens on account of leaving so soon for New York. But once we're settled there you " The letter stopped abruptly, and I sat with it on my lap feeling very much as if a steam roller were bearing down upon me manned by Jim and his loving mother. However, I was so grateful to Jim

for promising to talk to Tom Hanley. the foreman, that. I could not get really mad at his lordly letter to .M;)"""i' Salsbery. It amused me, even. I had succeeded so well in this foreman matter just by remaining firm that I felt I could cope with all Jim's highhandness in the future. Jim came home earlier than usual. He shoved a square pasteboard box into my hands as I met him with my cordialest kiss at the door. In it was a fat bunch of violets and in the middle of the fragrant flowers was an envelope with $50 in it. "Why, you aodrable angel!" I cried. "It's for Christmas things, pussycat. I suppose you've got a list as long as your arm." "Oh, thank you, Jim, darling! And een more than for the flowers I thank

you for taking care of that Tom Hanley matter 1 do hope he'll make it right with his wife and children." "Sure he will," said Jim. And not a shade of doubt crept into my heart. (To be continued.)

and run down and had dragging-down

pains ana pains in

my back. 1 could

not get around to do I my work and had to

6tt down and rest often during theday. I saw I.vdiaE. Pink-

and read the testimonials, so I thought

I would try lL ISow I am healthier than I

ever was in my life, and can recommend it to anv woman who suffers as I did." Mrs. Elizabeth May, R.F.D. No. 1, Columbia, Pa. The reason Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is so successful in overcoming woman's ills is because it contains the tonic, strengthening proper des of good old fashioned roots and herbs, which act on the female organism. Women from all parts of the country are continually testif yingto its strengthening, curative influence, and the letters which we are constantly publishing from women in every section of this country prove beyond question the merit of this famous root and herb medicine.

Perfect Health Is Yours If the Blood Is Kept Pure

Almost Every Human Ailmant Is Duel to Blood Impurities. I You can not overestimate the im- j portance of keeping the blood free of! impurities. When you realize that the heart is constantly pumping this vital ; fluid to all parts of the body, you can ! easily see that any impurity in the ; blood will cause serious complica-1 tions. Any slight disorder or impurity that

creeps into the blood is a source of danger, for every vital organ of the j i body depends upon the blood supply ; to properly perform its functions. ' Many painful and dangerous diseases are the direct result of a bad '. condition of the blood. Among the 'most serious are Rheumatism, with.

torturing pains; Catarrh, often a forerunner of dread consumption; Eczema, Tetter, Erysupela3 and other disfiguring skin diseases; Malaria, which makes the strongest men helpless, and many other diseases are the direct result of impure blood. You can in a large measure avoid liability to disease, by the use of S. S. S., the wonderful blood remedy that has been in constant use for more than fifty years. S. S. S. cleanses the blood thoroughly. It is sold by druggists everywhere. For valuable literature and medical advice absolutely free, write today to the Medical Dept..

It! i

id wheat

cairce this year-

We paid the price and got the best. There is so much poor wheat, and so little good wheat, this year, that it was necessary to pay high to get the best. For years we have been paying extra and getting the choice wheat, so this year we didn't hesitate on account of price. We jumped in and paid higher prices, and, as usual, got the best. We didn't want to take any chances on the quality of Valier's Enterprise Flour. Only a small percentage of this year's crop has the necessary strength to make Valier's Enterprise Flour You can absolutely depend on this flour this year, as you have always done. If it costs you more than ordinary flour, as it will, just remember that we couldn t

make Valier s Enterprise Flour from the general run of wheat. You wouldn't be satisfied if wre had, for you don't like soggy, heavy bread no matter what it costs.

-X. wv

Valier's Enterprise Flour costs a little more in the sack, but a whole lot less in the loaf, because you get more loaves from the sack and have no failures. Your grocer can sell you Valier's Enterprise Flour. Don't experiment with any other insist on getting it.
