E SAYS -
MY WIF
If She Had to Go Back to the Tea
kettle for Hot Water She'd Use
Cand'es for Lighting
And that is just how she feels about it. 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.
I vote for the Gas Water Heater as guardian of
home comfort and happiness. I know your opin
ion coincides with mine. Don't delay put it into
tice.

THE GHOST.
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." . . ,

THE ALIENS. t
Following the birth of Baby Anna,
when through a succession of sick
nesses, the. 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

j like!" said Rose heartily. "Didn't I tell
I you I knew what trouble is? You ain't

Annie had accepted Rose's offer of
help. But the payment of the money
, debt did not end the matter fer An
j nie. 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

in crimination and recrimination about

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
