She has modern Electric Lighting in her home and wouldn't think of having anything but modern water heating equipment to accompany it. My wife believes in- efficiency in the home just as I believe in it for the office. So she has her Automatic Gas Water Heater that furnishes all the hot water she wants with the turn of the tap. It saves her time, labor and inconvenience, she tells me. I knpw it "hits the spot" with me when it comes to shaving or bathing and- I need hot water in a hurry.

All the little animals were watching to see who could bo under that over turned canoe on Murmuring: Brook and making such a grinding and crunching noise. It was a dark night. The moon was under a cloud, but the little people of the Great Forest like the dark and their eye3 can see farther and better than ours in the sunlight, so that they could see as well as if they had a candle or electric light. . It was a most exciting time and Jlm mle Coon could hardly wait, he was so anxious to know what was going on under the canoe. He poked his little hands under the edge but the canoe was heavy and he couldn't budge it a bit. Everybody thought it must be Cous in Bruin. "Now what in the world is Cousin Bruin doing eating and chew ing that wood in little William's ca noe?" said Jlmmie Coon. "Perhaps he is getting wood and is going to build u new house," said Chuck Woodohuck. "Pooh," sniffed Jimmie Coon. "What an idiot you are, Chuck! Nobody in the Forest builds so many houses as you do you are always moving from one house to another, and Cousin Bruin never wants but one house, and only once in a great while ho gets a new one." "No, it isn't Cousin Bruin." said Ted dy Possum, "or he would have an swered when I called. "Well, I know just who it is," said little Peter Rabbit, trembling, "it is Mr. Red Fox! I am oft for home." "Nonsense. Peter. If it was Mr. Red Fox. he would have looked out j long before this, for he would have ' wanted to know what we were all up ; to," and Jimmie Coon held Peter by his long ear or Peter would have run home ! in the jerk of a lamb's tail, i If ycu had been on the shore of ' Murmuring Brook you would have been just as excited as any of those little animals. You know how hard it is to wait, and it did seem as if nothing would ever happen. But at last that canoe began to rise CHAMP CLARK ON PROFITEERS Former Speaker Vigorous in His Denunciation Against This Class of People. Washington, D. Aug. 28. "Every profiteer in America ought to be put in the penitentiary," former Speaker Champ Clark declared on the floor of the house of representatives in a recent debate. At the same time, the dem op eratic noor leader warned the republi cans that unless they quit wasting So much time speech -making, got down to business and did something to cut down the high cost of living and give the people some relief from profiteers, there wouldn't be enough of them left in the next congress to 'demand the ayes and noes." . . , Former Speaker Clark's reprimand of the republican majority for frittering away so much time came during-debate j on a Din Drougnt in fcy the ways and means committee to raise the tariff on Quilly took his cousin, the .White For- rtrtL"' ZZSL cupine, by the paw and ne ooweu 7 Z",A t i 1. onu said, "After you, Aipnonse. ------ .- v- Dv ,M. u, ci r , protection given such articles as tung- right lip into the air.

"Is not . that true?". Representative Knutson, the republican whip, asked. "No sir, i tis not; not a syllable of it is true," former Speaker Clark an swered. "If you can remember 1873; Grant was president. There were hardly enough democrats in the house to call the yeas and nays. The senate was overwhelming republican; the "re publicans had had the government for years and years, and a panic, swept over this country which made men's teeth rattle from sea to sea and car ried bankruptcy and ruin all over the land. You may be too young to re member, but "Was it not due to the war?" asked Mr. Layton, republican, of Delaware. "No, it was not due to the war," said the democratic leader.

Carrolls' finances had reached the lowest ebb, Rose still the 1 kind, practical Rose Rothberg of child- hood had met Annie on the street one 1 day. "Ain't you the foolish one, worry ing yourself to a bone about the grocer, nd me with a store where vou can ! take the whole stock and pay when you j like!" said Rose heartily. "Didn't I tell I you I knew what trouble is? You ain't t got- troubles. Ann, like there is down j my way.

She kept up an -affectionate friendship with the Bubin-Rothberg family. She drank many a hospitable glass of tea with them, sat many an hour listening to stories of Prussia, the Rothbergs' moderate prosperity there. and the coming to the "land of prom 'but I will tell you what kind of poppy cock it is.

The dreadful, dreadful ten ements. No, will I ever forget it? the distress of the people of the United States. It is bootless to indulge in crimination and recrimination about it. Everybody knows that there is more than one element entering into the high cost of living. One of these elements is the expansion of the cur rency. There is no sense in anybody lying about it. Another element is these trusts that have fixed the prices of everything.

Rose Co., Cleveland, O THIN PEOPLE SHOULD TAKE - PHOSPHATE Xotklngr Like Plain BItro-Fhowphate to Put on Firm, Healthy Flesh and to Increase Strength, Vigor and Iferve Force. Judging: from the countless prepara tions and treatments-which are contin ually being advertised for the purpose of making, thin people fleshy, develop ing arms, neck and bust, and replacing ugly hollows and angles by the soft curved lines of health and beauty, there are evidently thousands of men and women who keenly feel their ex cessive thinness. 4 Thinness and weakness are often due to starved nerves. Our bodies need more phosphate than is contained in modern foods. Physicians claim there is nothing that will supply this de ficiency so well as the organic phos phate known among druggists as bitro phosphate, which is Inexpensive and is sold by Stowe's in Qharlotte and most all druggists under a guarantee of sat isfaction or money back. By feeding the nerves directly and by supplying the body cells with the necessary phos phoric food elements, bitro-phosphat shsuld rroduce a welcome transforma- j tion in the appearance; the increase in weight frequently Deing asionisnms. Increase in weight also carries with it a general improvement in the health. Nervousness, sleeplessness and lack of energy, which nearly always accom pany excessive thinness, should soon disappear, dull eyes ought to brighten and pale cheeks glow with the bloom of perfect health: v CAUTION: Although bitro-phos-phate is. unsurpassed for relieving ner vousness, sleeplessness and general weakness, it should not, owing to its tendency to . Increase weight, be used by anyone who does not desire to put on flesh. j Danger Lurks In Summer Foods For Babies EVERY mother knows the evil effects of summer heat on 1. -'cow's milk. This clanger is equally great to all foods unless carefully kept in a cool place away from insects. Bfcd food loses its nourishing value. It causes constipation and diarrhea. These are at best always prevalent in the summer time. They depress the mind and weaken the body, and may cause more serious illness. The first precaution is to see that the stools are regular an3 normal. In the case of babies and children, if less than twice a day you may suspect constipation; if more than three times a day, diarrhea. A remedy is then needed that will regulate and tone the bowels, and you will find none safer and better than Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. It is a combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin that millions of mothers constantly have in the house for just such purposes. ., A bottle of Syrup Pepsin can be bought at any drug store for 50c and $!, the latter the family size. A free trial bottle can be had by sending your address to Dr. W. B. Caldwell, 480 Washington St., Monticello, ill.
