[Flowers Were for Jim ® By JANE OSBORN <© by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) Ever since Jim had arrived at the hospital, weather-beaten, tanned and much in need of a shave, and incidentally with a wrenched knee that had to go in plaster cast and a dislocated shoulder, he had been the favorite of the men’s ward. If he had been a little boy Instead of six foot of rugged, honest manhood he would have gone in the children’s ward and been known as “nurse’s pet.” No one knew much about “Jim.” Obviously a man who earned his living with his muscle, he had been brought in one night in forlorn condition by Dr. Robinson, who had said that the man had no friends in town and might not be able to pay his bills for several weeks. He showed no more than a professional interest in the case. Right from the first “Jim” had become a favorite, and the men’s ward seemed to be a brighter place because of his presence. “It will seem queer when he’s all better and up and dressed,” said a nurse to one of her companions sitting at the desk where she had been making up charts. “We’ve all treated him like a nice big boy—and that’s just what he seems to be. Perhaps we’ve petted him a bit too much, bringing him funny papers and puzzles just as If he was a child —” “One often does get a Jolt when a patient recovers, and stands up all dressed,” said the second nurse. “It’s funny about Jim. It isn’t that he makes an effort to be Jolly. It Just seems to be his personality.” “Everybody likes him,” said the other. “Even Dr. Martha Yates, who is usually so dreadfully professional in the men’s ward, stops and Jollies him. She treats him as if he was one of the youngsters in the children’s ward—brings him little games and things, pats him on the shoulder when she passes and calls him ’Jim’ just the way we all do.” It was true that Dr. Martha Yates’ usual attitude when she made her rounds—save in the children’s ward—was exaggeratedly professional. Perhaps this formality was necessary to offset a little too much youth and a little too much prettiness. Martha had taken her career as a sort of legacy from her father. At his death his work seemed so far from completion that Martha felt it was her duty to turn from dances and country club activities, from thought of an early marriage—perhaps any marriage at all —to take her medical training.

Every day in her work, however, she had little reminders of her father's skill and large-heartedness that made it all seem worth while. His old patients were forever telling her of incidents in his career showing a generosity and fortitude that she had perhaps never fully appreciated during his lifetime. And today it was the florist. She had stopped at his shop to buy a half dozen jonquils for her office desk, and the proprietor of the florist shop had stopped his work in his greenhouse to tell of the devotion her father hail shown during the Illness of his children. many years ago, when he was struggling along hardly making both ends meet in his nursery business. And Dr. Yates had refused to send any bill, and even when the florist had prospered, the doctor had never accepted any back payment for the years of service that he had done. “Perhaps I ought to have insisted more.” said the. florist. “But now 1 am going to insist on this one thing: Whenever you want any flowers you come in here and pick out just what you want and they will be yours. Get them as often as you like. You just know people who want them. Now, for instance, we are having an extra big yield of roses —don’t know why. but they seem to be coming to flower a little sooner than we expected. Suppose you let me send you five or six dozen. I could sell them cheap, but I’d rather you’d take them. If you don’t want them yourself perhaps you know some one that does.” Dr. Martha Yates thought for a moment. She «nl<l she would take them with her to the hospital. She'd leave two dozen in the children's and two dozen in the women’s ward and another dozen she would give to Jim. “I’ve brought some roses for Jim.” Dr. Martha Yates told the nurse in charge of the ward when she returned. “Is he awake?” “Yes,” said the nurse, “and I’m so glad you have. He’s been very uncomfortable. though yon couldn’t get him to admit it. You know Dr. Robinson ha<l to charge the cast today and —well, any one but Sunny Jim would have made a fuss about it. And the poor thing—having no friends or anything. I’m so glad you brought the roses today.”

NOT THE KIND OF HAM HE WANTED

Visitor “Back Home” Sadly Disappointed After He Had Traveled Far for Boyhood Delicacy. Red Carter is an East end barber. ' For weeks Rod had been brooding I over the difference between packing house ham ami the bam, sweet ham i of home, sweet home. “What my palate pines for,” said Red to customers and fellow barbers, “is a slab of old-fashioned country ■ cured ham. I crave the kind that I mother drags down from the hook in ! the smokehouse and, believe you me, I'm going back home to get some." । Red jammed every spare dime he ; could connect with into his saving sock and, after he had enough to get him to Birdseye.

— ..... neui LU JHU B narrow cot and no one in the ward seemed to feel the least bit jealous or slighted when she put the whole glorious dozen on his table. For Jim was as popular with the other patients as with tlie nurses and doctors. Jim looked up quickly straight into the eyes of Martha Yates and for just one moment she felt a little uncomfortable —wondered if after all she ought to have brought him the flowers. His eyes had never looked that way before—they seemed so bright and clear, from beneath lids that betrayed the recent suffering that he would have been loath to admit. He stretched out one large hand, still strong and showing a peculiar pallor overlying the sunburn that had not yet disappeared, and with tiiis hand he took Dr. Martha’s small hand in his. “Thank you, doctor,” he said. “You don’t know how I shall treasure them.” Dr. Martha Yates had gone away in confusion that she had with difficulty concealed. Suddenly it seemed as if Jim, who had seemed only a fine overgrown boy, had been transformed into a man, strong and virile in spite of his present prostration. She was half sorry that she had taken him the flowers —perhaps it had been very unprofessional. But the nurses had not seemed to think it inappropriate. To them Jim was still plain Jim. Perhaps they had not seen the look, so strong and clear, beneath those tired eyelids. Jim was quick to recover and within the week he was allowed to get up and sit in a chair for a few hours. And the next day Dr. Robinson whisked him off, stopping with him at the office just long enough to pay In new banknotes the fee for board in the ward. The nurses were vexed with Dr. Robinson for he had not told them of his intention of taking Jim away, and only the little nurse who happened to be In the ward at the time had an opportunity to say good-by to him, and she had been so surprised at bls sudden departure, In a baggy. 111-fitting suit and ulster that the doctor hrough. for him, that sho had not asked him whore he was going or Invited him to revisit the hospital and his many friends there. “Jim’s gone,” thr nurses told Dr. Martha Yates when she came that day. For a moment Martha started. She, too, seemed to regret not having had an opportunity to say good-by or to have found out a little more about this mysterious optimist who had so brightened the atmosphere of the hospital during his brief stay. But when she reached her office that night she found a man waiting for her In the waiting room, though It was an hour before office hours. It was, in fact, her customary dinner hour. The man was Indeed Jim, though he now wore clothes that fitted perfectly, and it was not until Martha had stood looking at him for a full minute that she was quite sure of his Identity. And in that minute Jim stood holding the hand she had offered to him. “Who in the world are you?” she asked when they had sat down In the dim light of the waiting room. “You’re not the simple workingman we all took you to be. You —”

“I’m James Bradley, Jr.,” said Jim simply. “You know my father. I believe he’s president of the board of trustees of the hospital." Os course Martha knew him. It was James Bradley who had contributed more than half of the funds that had supported the hospital for many years past. ‘Tve been away from home a good many years. No one remembers me. This summer, you know, there was some criticism of the hospital. It was said that a poor man didn’t get a show —that the ward patients were neglected. You know, of course. My father was annoyed and grieved. He felt sure it wasn’t true. Still he wanted to prove the falseness of It all. I was off roughing it with him in the mountains. Father and I always spend a month together every summer. And one day I lost my footing in the mountains up there —and took a jolly header. I wasn’t so very hndly hurt. Father suggested that since T had tn come flown to civilization f<> get mended I should come to this hospital and that I should do a little spv’ng on the side. So we got in touch with Dr. Robinson, who let it be understood that I was just any one. And yen know what I learned —T learned that the mon in that ward are as decently and as well treated ns they would be in private rooms, and T learned tn admire the nurses and —it’s all coming out In a report my father will have roadv for the next meeting of the board of trustees. "Tn the mean time.” James Bradley drew his stiff office chair close to that of Dr. Martha. “Tn the meantime I learned to love you. I know your heart Is in your work —but it’s such a big heart! Gan’t you let me share a little of it. too?” Dr. Martha Yates locked into Jim’s eyes and she know she was not deserting the ideals of her father when she told Jim she would put her whole heart into his keeping.

He said he would he gone at least two weeks —maybe three. In Just three days Red was back at his chair. “How about the ham Red?” one of the barbers asked. Red sighed, then delivered himself of the following dissertation on ham. "Toll you, fellows, how it was. You remember I kept oratin' about the oldfashioned country-cured ham ma had back in the smokehouse. Well, when I got down home I says to ma : ‘Ma, I want ham and a lot of it.’ And ma says: ‘Son, that's just what you're goin’ to get!’ But when she reached up on a shelf and brought down a ham with the name of a packing house stamped on it —well, that was when I borrowed money from the rural route mail carrier and headed back for old Indianapolis.

NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENT EVENTS Henry Ford’s Probable Candidacy for Presidency Interests the Whole Country. HE MAY HEAD THIRD PARTY Railway Chiefs Reply to Attack of LaFollette’s Valuation ConferenceStrike in the Ruhr Ending—German Chancellor Preparing New Reparations Offer. By EDWARD W. PICKARD o** * - • • • • • — ”9 • Women from 15 states, meet- ’ Ing in Chicago, have planned a * co-operative association for the ’ marketing of eggs through the • ♦ establishment of selling ex- * * charges in the various states. In • • this way they think the profits . . of the flock owners will be • * tripled and consumers will be * * saved from 5 to 10 cents a * ’ dozen. What is your opinion . ♦ of the project? ’ o <S \joT only the politicians, but all other Americans are intensely interested In the prospective candidacy of Henry Ford for a presidential nomination. The vague talk that has been heard for months and even years has within the last week or two crystallized Into a definite “movement” which demands recognition. Ensel Ford is quoted as saying his father is seriously Intending to enfer the race and actually means to stand for nomination. Whether he will seek the nomination from the Republican or the Democratic party or will head a^ independent ticket Is not yet known, and is the question that is causing the politicians considerable anxiety. The Republican leaders say they are not worried about it, since Ford was a Democratic candidate for the Michigan senatorship, and that, even if he did enter the Republican primaries, he would not cut much of a figure. It is generally believed Ford will be the nominee of a third party, and if so. he will have the support of William Randolph Hearst and all the Hearst newspapers. In a published interview Hearst said: "If the presidency of the United States were to be settled by popular vote today Henry Ford would be President, and I am with him because of this. He is the man that should have all the people’s support. But the only way Henry Ford can ever run for the presidency will be to run as an independent candidate. I uni a great believer In independence and for that reason want to stand with him in his great tight for recognition." The American Economic league, organized to sponsor a third party movement, was in session in • 'maha last week, and its president. Roy M. Harrop, said there was no doubt that Ford was its choice for the presidency, that the league already was active in 17 states in efforts to get Mr. Ford’s name before the voters and that the organization would be extended until all states were Included. Mr. Ford himself refuses to comment on the matter, because, he says, no authoritative group has yet signified It wants him to be a candidate. But to a reporter he said last week: “As far as national problems go the two big problems at this time are the railroads and the judiciary. We pay our judges such inadequate salaries that some of them are retained by corporations because they don t get enough to live on. “There is no question but that the railroads should operate under one central head. They are one indispensable agency for commercial expansion.” FROM another point of view the statesmen comprising Senator La Follette’s “National Conference on Valuation of American Railroads” also profess to look on the railroads as one of our greatest problems. The ARE NOT MAKING PROGRESS President of University of Kentucky Declares Agricultural Colleges Have Been Slowing Down.

Presidents of six big rail systems, stirred by the doings of the LaFollette conference. Issued a statement charging that the radicals do not aim at fair regulation of the railways but seek to cripple private management ams thus to make government owner- ' ship inevitable. “The railways cannot furnish the public adequate and satisfactory serv-1 ice.” says the statement, “unless they i can constantly raise large amounts of new capital with which to Increase ! the capacity of their equipment and other facilities. They cannot raise the new capital required for these, purposes unless they can earn a net return sufficient to pay reasonable interest and dividends upon the existing Investment in railroad properties and I upon additional investment that must be made. “The net return the railroads are now allowed to earn is based upon the tentative valuation made by the interstate commerce commission. The net return they will be allowed to earn in future will be bused upon the final valuation made by the commission. The pnq>onents of government owner- I ship are seeking to get a low valua- ’ tlon and a consequent drastic reduc-1 tlon of the net return allowed, for the I plain purpose of making it Impossible j fur the railways under private man-' agement to raise new capital, enlarge the capacity of the properties, and satisfactorily handle the country's j business.” Il r HII.E Governor Smith of New V V York was trying to make up his mind whether or not to sign the act j repealing the state’s prohibition enforceme- t law. Prohibition Commissioner Haynes and his aids were busy preparing a lot of recommendations for state legislation to be submitted to the conference of governors in Washington called by President Hard-1 ing. Here are some of those recoin- j mendations: Making the buyer of bootleg liquor equally guilty with the seller. A padlock provision shutting tight ■ all cabarets and other places where: liquor is sold or consumed. Drastic penalties for forging liquor permits or labels. Summary removal of state or local j prohibition officials found derelict, Making it a felony to possess or i traffic in apparatus for making home i brew. Forbidding sale or advertisement of materials for distilling liquors or j brewing beer. Substituting penitentiary sentences for fines in convictions of flagrant law violators. If President Harding had his way—it's a mighty big “if"—the District of Columbia would be drier than the Sahara this week during the Shrine convention. He wrote personally asking the district commissioners to en- i force the prohibition law strictly and they promised to do so. There was no noticeable panic in the ranks of the Nobles. SOMETHING like half a million miners and metal workers in the Ruhr, who were engaged in a hunger strike that was fomented by the Com- | munists for the forwarding of their , own plans, returned to their work I toward the end of last week because the government raised their pay .sj per cent. The Reds were disappointed and admitted their main weapon had been taken out of their hands. The rioting which the Communists had kept going pretty steadily came to an end when detachments of police from : the Rhineland appeared.

In lieu of reparations, and they also have yielded to the Turks in the matter of juridic guarantees for foreigners to replace the old capitulations. With some mild safeguards, the Turkish police will be authorized to arrest allied subjects and search their domiciles and offices for alleged offenses against Turkish law without first laying the case before or getting permission from the foreign legal advisers. After five years all the safeguards will be withdrawn. With these problems out of the way, the peace conference came to that of payment j of pre-war Ottoman bonds, of which the French hold about 80 per cent, or $200,000,000. These are nominally payable in sterling, gold francs or gold marks, but Ismet Pasha threatened to quit the conference unless it I was agreed that Turkey might pay in either Turkish paper pounds or French i paper francs. In this way the bond- • holders would lose practically everything. — EGOTIATIONS for the release of -i-N all the foreigners held by Chinese bandits were “going an favorably” at the time of writing, and Maj. Robert A. Allen of the United States army, and W. Smith of England already had been set free. John B. Powell, the I Shanghai publisher, is conducting most i of the negotiations, having been re- | leased on parole. He has told the leaders of the bandits that the Wash- | ington agreement to reduce the size of I the Chinese army prevents their enlistment and suggested that they accept a payment in money and employment on public works. The leaders i liked the idea but feared they coulc ; not persuade their followers to take ■ up honest labor. I E AMON DE VALERA and Aitken chief of staff of the Irish repub lican army, have issued orders to the!’ followers to cease their war on th« Free State and to dump their arms De Valera’s order says: “Other meanmust be sought to safeguard the na tion’s right.

It is remarkable how many cases have been reported similar to this one. Many mothers are left in a weakened and run-down condition after the birth of the child, and for such mothers the care of the baby is well-nigh impossible. Not only is it hard for the mother, but the child itself will indirectly suffer. Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound is an excellent tonic for the mother at this time. It is prepared from medicinal roots and herbs, and does not contain any harmful drugs- It can be taken in safety by the nursing mother.
