The Middle Ground By MARION RUBINCAM

Synopsis of Preceding Chapters - Amy Talbot has been overworked for so many years that she had gotten completely out of touch with lie and new Ideas. She finds this out when her son Luther returns to the farm with his newly married wife Claire, and when Jane, her daughter, comes home - from college. She can not understand their new ideas, and finds them making Amy, the youngest, discontented. Claire and Luther quarrel, Claire goes back to the city, taking Amy with her. Eventually Jane and Luther go away. Mrs. Talbot is so worried about her girls that she braves her husband's anger and goes to them in the city. Amy is studying for grand opera, and will not look at the always-faithful Dick; Jane is in love with a doctor too poor to marry her. Everything in the city shocks and terrifies the mother.

Luther and Claire are separated; Claire wants a divorce. Amy's prettiness draws scores of admirers she threatens to marry a rich man she does not love. Jane is on the. point of going away with the doctor, who does not want to marry her. There is no sympathy between the strict and narrow ideas of the mother and the broad, but what she calls "loose" ideas of the children. Then the doctor finds a post in a South American mining camp, and can afford to marry. He and Jane elope and got to South America. Luther has a note from Claire.

world, perhaps one woman should be satisfied with the sole companionship of one man but in that case every man and every woman would have to have all sorts of interests and the most complex personality."

"The perfect mate doesn't exist," Claire supplied. "If he did," Mrs. Talbot rejoined, "the woman could appreciate his perfection more by seeing the contrast between him and other less perfect men." . Claire laughed. "W hy do you want to get away from Luther entirely?" Mrs. Talbot threw at her suddenly. "He's fond of you I needn't say how much, you know that. Weren't you ever in love with him? You're too clever a woman to have married him for money had it been that you would have married Clarke."

This was making it rather thickly complimentary. Claire did not like to confess that she had tried hard to marry Clarke, that along with a great many other women in and out of the theatrical profession, she wanted noth

ing more. But Clarke was not marrying and her only consolation was that if he had not wanted to marry her, he had not wanted to marry anyone else, at least. Clarke had been more attentive to her than to any of the others. Tomorrow Claire's Reason.

MRS. TALBOT TRIES Chapter 85 Luther went off to his office, leaving his mother sitting before an untouched

cup of coffee, with the discarded newspaper tossed aside for Amy's perusal later in the morning. ' Claire's letter was in Luther's pocket that was so Amy would not see it and recognizing her writing, begin to ask questions There was not the sympathy between Luther and his critical little sister that existed between Luther and Jane. Mrs. ' Talbot was thinking. Even i hough she' still frowned, as she concentrated on her problem, her forehead was not as deeply lined as it once was all the time. .Her cheeks had filled in a trifle; her skin was fresher in texture; her hands, resting on the table, lay lax, they did not knot themselves into fists. Claire would be alone that afternoon. And Luther was not going. If she went, what would she say to this pretty, petulant girl? Once before fhe had tried to heal the breech, and she had failed. She would try again but all she wanted to do now was to understand Claire's point of view. She had no idea what she would say.

but she sat here thinking until sounds came from Amy's room, the eternally blue clad figure trailed down the halt j ' . : 11 I V. 1 1 '

ana Amy s sitepy vuitu vancu uruu through the dining-room door. Mrs. Talbot decided. Claire received her in a discouragingly hostile manner. She was dressed for the street in a trim little black satin frock, the careless style so much in vogue that winter, a garment apparently cut from a single piece of material with sleeves only as long as the width of the material allowed. Mrs. Talbot knew enough to know that simplicty is deception, and that this dress which seemed to have cost nothing at all, was probably the most expensive in Claire's whole wardrobe. "I though the telephone boy made a mistake w hen he said 'Mrs. Talbot,' " Claire remarked rudely. "I wanted Luther to come. Did he send you?" "No, and he won t come he's afraid of you." Claire's pretty lip curled, her eyes

were triumphant. A woman loves to

think a man is afraid of her! Claire thought she would have her way now. "I can't do anything for you," Mrs. Talbot went on. "I've done my best. I've tried to make him consent to a divorce " "You! But you don't believe in it!" "I don't. But we can't have the world as we want it. Jane was right when she said that. The trouble isn't that they make divorce too easy, they make marriage too easy. If there had been as many difficulties in the way of your marriage with Luther as there will be in the way of your divorce from him, you'd have appreciated him more when you got him. Just as you'll appreciate being free when you get free." "On that theory, Luther will appreciate being free too if he ever consents to take steps toward freedom " "Luther's case is different." "I suppose you mean he appreciates

me more as a wife now that he doesn't live with me!" "Yes," the mother answered unexpectedly. "Luther's been mostly to blame in this affair." Claire looked at her wide eyed. ,She could not accuse I-uther of faults for here all his faults were admitted beforehand! It was no u.e even enumerating them, her whole argument was taken away from her. Mrs. Talbot went on. "You've often told me various reasons why you could not live with Luther. He was jealous of other friendships yes, that's wrong. In an ideal

KIYANIANS LOOK TO ATTENDANCE HONORS

Kiwanis intenationa! attendance contest, an innovation started and adopted at the Portland, Ore., international convention, will start March 6. The local Kiwanis club won the attendance honors last year with a percentage of ;a little over 92, but it Is believed that an average. 95 per cent will be necessary to be in the running this year. The local club values the standing

for attendance, inasmuch as it gained recognition in international circles, which are considered valuable in the highest degree. Two teams have been selected, with Curt 'Wicket and Frank Edmunds as leaders of them. Wickett will head "The Dodgers" and Edmunds will lead "The Bakers." Captains under Wickett are Ray Weisbrod, Pat Tracey Karl Meyers, Ross Stoakes, George Tark'.eson, Lawrence Jessup. Robert Wiechman and Roland Kusbaum.

Is this the Third Influenza Wave? x Is the type of heavy cold now prevalent a true influenza? Doctors disagree. It will be remembered that after the terrible epidemics of 1918 and 1919, it was predicted that "waves" of influenza would recur, milder each time, until humanity should have acquired immunity against the disease. Science has not yet found the germ, nor medicine the cure. But we have learned better how to avoid influenza, grip and pneumonia The value of Vicks as an aid in preventing these diseases is explained below.

r J

Avoid Influenza-Grip Pneumonia Apply Vicks to help avoid infection. Use Vicks at the first sign of an oncoming cold.

MOST medical authorities now agree that Colds, Grip, Influenza and Pneumonia are all germ diseases most commonly spread by breathing in the germs. If the system is in good shape the membrane of the air passages in a healthy condition these germs do not breed. In fact the germs of all of these diseases are frequently found in perfectly healthy persons. It is only when the . bodily resistance is lowered as by a cold for instance that they are able to harm us. Avoid Sneezers and Coughers It is best to keep away from the sneezers and coughers in the street cars and public places, or if you must meet them, insert some Vicks in the nostrils before you start out. On returning home, melt a little Vicks in a tin cup or a Spoon and inhale the vapors. Opposed to Bacteria The ingredients of Vicks are not only antiseptic, but rubefacient that is, they summon the blood to the tissues where applied and this free blcod circulation is nature's best method of repelling germ infection. Also Vicks spreads a protective film over the membrane and furthermore is opposed to the growth of bacteria. In 6hort, we believe you have a much better chance to avqjd infection by these numerous germs if you have Vicks in your nose.

Attack a Cold Immediately When you feel a cold coming on, go right home. Take a laxative. Make some hot lemonade, then take a hot bath as hot as you can 6tand. Stay in the tub 30 minutes, apping 6lowly several glasses of the lemonade. Get into bed, with a hot water bottle at your feet, and pile on blankets. After an hour's sweat, dry thoroughly with a rough towel, apply Vicks over -throat and chest, rub in well until the skin is red, and then spread on thickly and cover with one or two thicknesses of hot flannel cloth. Get into bed again between dry sheets. Leave the beddothing loose about the neck, like a funnel, so that the rising vapors may be freely inhaled. It is an obstinate cold, indeed, that will resist such treatment. If it does, call a physician. Acts Two Ways At Once Vicks is of benefit in cold troubles in two ways. lst-It is absorbed thru and stimulates the skin, thus helping to relieve the soreness, loosen the phlegm and make the breathing less difficult. 2nd At the 6ame time the ingredients, released as vapors by the body heat, are taken with each breath directly into the congested, inflamed air passages. A Vapor Lamp in Salve Form Vicks is the disaovery of Mr. L. Richardson, a North Carolina druggist. He realized that cold troubles were affections of the respiratory organs and that the only way to get medication direct to these parts was in the form of vapors. Mr. Richardson finally worked out the process for making Vicks, so made that the body heat

releases the volatile ingredients !n the form of vapors. Vicks really is "a vapor lamp in alv form.' The Ingredients of Vicks Since the dawn of history mankind has been searching nature for remedies against cold troubles. The knowledge gained thru a thousand years has come down to us today. Vicks contains the best known remedies for these troubles, some of them of great antiquity. Menthol, for instance, comes from Oil of Peppermint which was grown in Egypt three thousand years ago and whose virtues are described in the old Icelandic books of the 13th century. The highest authority on drugs and their iraes is the U. S. Dispensatory. We give below a few extracts from the Dispensatory on some of th ingredients in Vicks. MENTHOL "It is actively enH-beelerial. It is employed Jot its antiseptic and anaesthetic influence in coryza, pharyngitis and laryngitis." CAMPHOR "Has a peculiar and agreeablt effect on the mucous membrane relieves congestion and inflammation is a powerful stimulant to tht respiratory centers" OIL OF EUCALYPTUS "Germicidal, antiseptic and stimulant largely used in chronic bronchitis and infections of the upper respiratory tract its tapors are very efficient." OIL OF TH YME "This drug is a powerful antiseptic with wonderful healing properties, especially in congestion and catarrhal conditions of the nose and throat." OIL OF TURPENTINE "Its tapors an an excellent remedy for, and highly beneficial in, various forms of bronchial and lung troubles has powerful healing, antiseptic properties,"

Adopt the DIRECT treatment for all cold troubles ABSORBED, like a liniment, and, at the same time. INHALED, as a vapor, Vicks reaches immediately the congested, inflamed air passages.
