The Middle Ground By MARION RUBINCAM

FRESH CLIMAXES Synopsis of Preceding Chapters. When he Is 48 years old, AmyTalbot finds herself completely out of touch with the world. She has worked so hard all her life she has literally ceased to think. She finds this out when her eldest son Luther and his wife, Claire, return to the farm for a visit; and when her daughter Jane returns from medical school. The mod

ern ideas of these young folks in- 1 feet Amy, the youngest girl, who goes back to the city with Claire when Claire and Luther quarrel. The others return too. Luther and Claire separate; Jane is in love with a young doctor too poor to marry her. Amy is studying for grand opera, and refuses to marry the ever-faithful Dick. Feeling her girls need her care, Mrs. Talbot goes to the city. Everything there shocks and terrifies her. Amy intends to marry the richest man ehe can find. Claire refuses to see Luther, now living with his sister. Jane is ready to throw aside everything for love. Donald Moore, the doctor, finally asks her to marry him and go to South American. Jane refuses. Chapter 55 Amy Talbot had a curiously negative personality at this period of her development. At first she had been all active, bitter opposition to everything new that came into her life or Into the lives of her children. Now that she had decided not to

disagree with anything they said or

did, until she could once more win their, confidence, she became neutral, negative. The children and all the guests were quite apt io go on talking as though she were not there. Even Donald was affected by this change. She was no longer an active force against him. So he too, began arguing with Jane, as though the mother were not present. As for Mrs. Talbot, the situation had suddenly cleared and all her troubles

were over, or rather, would be, as soon

The Danger of Grip and Pneumonia Neglected colds, during these violent changes of weather we are having, lead to grip and pneumonia, and these if the patient survives leave behind them shattered health and lingering ills which invite all kinds of visiting disease. The safe thing to do when a cold or any throat trouble appears is to take Father John's Medicine, and take it faithfully. It is wholesome and safe, being free from alcohol and injurious drugs. For more than sixty-five years Father John's Medicine 'has been the family medicine in thousands of homes, and it has the

impressive endorsements of physicians, clergy, hospitals, and institutions because of its merit and history. Father John 's Medicine is not a patent Medicine, but a physician's prescription, for coughs, colds and throat troubles. Guaranteed. , Advertisement.

He had asked Jane to marry him. And Jane had just refused! "You're to go to this mining camp in South America for a year," she said. "That's all very well, but it means you lose 'even the small foothold you've made here in the city." "It means my expenses for a year are paid, and that there is enough salary' to bring me back here with about a thousand dollars. If the worst happens and the mines close down, I'll have that to live on while I try to set up a new practise here."

Heart Problems

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a young married lady, living in three rooms which form a little suite in the home of another woman. My things are very pretty and my friends say they never saw a more "charming little place." Only one thing annoys me. The woman in whose house I live does a great deal of cooking and the odor from her food fills my rooms. In the evening when friends come in the s-mell of onions or fish embarrasses me. I have tried burning incense and

it help?, but it is rather difficult to bring about the result I desire because my little burner goes out so easily. I have heard that the atmosphere of a room can be sweetened by scenting boiling water. How is that done? MRS. L. A. G. To s-ecurft a spicy, fragrant odor, fill a tlat, shallow basin with boiling water and put in a teaspoonful of cinnamon oil and the spicy tumes will be sen" out by the steam. If it is possible to keep the vessel where it will simmer, but not boil, the steam, being longer retained, acts longer, and the whole suite oi rooms may be perfumed. Oil of lavendar may be used in the same way, as may any of the pungent flavors, such as neroli, rhodium, etc. The only trouble with the method is that it. is not especially attractive to look at. and so cannot be done in the pre.ence of guests. However, a room onre perfumed in this manner will retain t'ae odor for several hours.

balanced diet" may sound

confusing to many people The facts, as explained here, are simple.

The secret of a "balanced diet" is to have food containing all the elements needed for proper nutrition. These elements are protein, to nourish the tissues; starch and sugar to furnish energy; fat to supply heat; and mineral salts to provide the material necessary for building nerves, brain, and tooth and bone structure. Grape-Nuts, the nourishing cereal made of whole wheat flour and malted barley, served with cream or milk, is a complete food for young and old alike. Go to your grocer today and get a package of Grape-Nuts. Eat it with milk or cream for breakfast; or with stewed fruit, jelly or jam, as a delicious dessert for lunch or dinner. Every member of the family will relish this palatable and nourishing food Grape-Nuts the Body Builder "There's a Reason" Made by Postntn Cereal Co., Inc., Battle Creek, Mich.
