Probably no man in America was over
better qualified to successfully treat the
’diseases peculiar to women than Ds.
Pierce, of Buffalo, N.Y. The cases that
eotne to him run into many thousands,
giving him an experience that rarely
nomas to spy one man. Dr. Pierce found
that in nearly every caee there were
certain vegetable growths which rarely
failed to give prompt relief in those
disorders from-which so many
women suffer. Bo oombined these roots
■Wd herbs into a temperance medicine
that he called Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prcer
eription. This medicine is sold in both
liquid and tablet form by druggists every-
whore. A weakly, sickly, baekachy, head-
achy, neprous, despondent woman, with
tegular or irregular pains—with feminine
disorders that oome in youth or middle
ags is pretty sure to find in Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription the exact remedy
that her condition calls lor.
Aute Safer Than "Hose."
The industrial accident board of the
State of Massachusetts discloses the
remarkable fact that • fatalities from
motor vehicles last year were less
than those for which horse-drawn ve-
hicles were responsible. This Is un-
usually Interesting, because automo-
biles and trucks are 00 per -cent
greater In number than horses. Forty-
three fatal accidents are reported by
the board. Twenty-three were caused
by horse-driven vehicles.

When Muxon Eliot stepped out on
the platform to make his ringing com-
mencement speech and Jessamine Par-
ra felt the scrutiny of many pairs of
eyes, friendly, curious, sympathetic, she
held her head high. Who wouldn’t be
proud to be the sweetheart of “bril-
liant promise?”
He wasn't the valedictorian. That
conceited, red-haired Walton Durrett
was that, but Maxon’s rank was high,
and with bis brown mop of curly hair,
his goodly height and his clear, friend-
ly eyes, was he not good to loqk at?
That evening after young Eliot had
gone out with Judge Farra’s eldest
daughter, his honor sat a long time In
silent thought For nearly three years
Maxon Eliot had been Jessamine’s
humble worshiper, and Durrett, the
self-confident valedictorian, had been
her devoted admirer.
Durrett was one whom one would
naturally.expect to do things, and Eliot
was a young man of brilliant promise.
The Judge’s preference Inclined to the
latter, but ne or any other would
have to “make good” before he'd give
his little girl to him.
The Judge sighed thankfully. Jessa-
mine would always listen to “Father."
A little later when she shyly suggested
that at the end of Max’s first school
year In Marion (he’d been given the
prlndpalshlp of Marion's academy),
there would be a wedding, the Judge
shook hU head.
A year Is all too short, little girl.
Let. him prove himself.”
Jessamine smiled certainly. "Two
years If you think best, papa—but
when Max Is s university president,
we’ll laugh about our caution, won't
we?”
The Marion school board, at the end
of the year, very quietly asked Pro-
fessor Eliot to resign. It was not that
he was not liked—his thoughtful con-
sideration, his gentle courteous man-
ner, made friends, but somehow he
had failed as the school’s principal.
That summer, through the recom-
mendation of a relative, Eliot secured
the editorship of the local paper in the
large town of Hampden. For a year
he wrote brilliant editorials, and strug-
gled valiantly to build up the circula-
tion of the paper, but at the end of the
year the owner asked another man to
take the editorship.
Then when Jessnmlne. with her sis-
ter and pnrenta, sailed for three years
of foreign travel. Mux understood that
he was free.
When the three years were at an end
and he henrd the Farms were coming
home, he managed somehow to scrape
together enough for n ticket to New
York.
Ills was the first face that Jessamine
recognised on the pier. For an Instant
her heart hounded nnd despite the old-
world wisdom she had gained, she had
to fight a foolish Impulse to lay her
head on the shabby decency of his
serge coot and tell him, among other
things, that failure In business didn’t
matter.
But Fulton Newholdt, who for six
months had followed In their wnke.
was looking on nnd presently Eliot was
forced to step aside to mnke way for
their other friends.
“Strange thnt Maxon Eliot should
hnve happened to be In New York the
very day thnt we landed,” the Judge
remarked.
Jessnmlne snld nothing. She knew
It hadn’t “Just happened.” Mnx had
traveled those 800 miles Just for a
sight of her! Well, he’d had It, and
she-. The day after they reached
her home Newholdt, who whs tholr
guest, asked her te marry him.
Instead of saying, “Yes, please,” as
she had contemplated, and as she knew
would delight her father and mother,
she found herself saying very earnest-
ly. “No, thank you.”
It was four years before she saw
Max again, and It was nt the connty
fair.
“I’ve been out West,” he told her,
“sort of knocking about, hut I’m doing
some bookkeeping work for my cousin
now, at the mills. Ills regular man
had to stop awhile because of 111
health.”
He s|M>ke cheerfully, hut Ills mouth
wore a subdued, conquered expression
that WS« pathetic.
“Roh keeps me very busy, but
begged off today to ruu down here oil
the chance of seeing some of my old
college friends,” he remarked; hut
Jessamine looked Into his wistful eyes
and translated his words: "On the
chance of seeing you. dear, mi the
chance of seeing you I”
Just then the red-haired valedic-
torian. now a successful lawyer and
politician, stopped to spenk to Jessa
mine.
“Pity about Eliot’s being a disap-
pointment,” he remarked when Maxoo
had taken himself off. “All vision and
no practicability. The wonder le he
hasn't married and dragged some wo-
man down, toot His kind generally
do.”
Jessamine's heart grew hot with un-
reasoning anger, but she laughed.
“And you, Sir Knight 1”
Durrett bowed low. “I'm waiting un-
til I have a posltfbn to offer a woman.”
"There's a gubernatorial election
next year,” she advanced tentatively.
He smiled In return. "And the hoi-
pollol will, who knows. Fair Lady?”
The next year Maxon Eliot at the
fair told Jessamine he’d got the place
as postmaster at Harper several
months before. “So,” he added, “maybe
I can spare the money to run over and
see Durrett Inaugurated governor In
December. His election’s a sure thing.
Will you be there?” he ended, a trifle
wistfully.
“I—I’ve promised—I think sol” she
answered.
Max understood her embarrassment,
and the look of defeat that had tempo-
rarily raised Itself settled back over
his face.
In November, Durrett was elected
governor of the state: Judge and Mrs.
Farra prepared to give their daughter
a very handsome wedding.
“Maxon. Eliot to be tried by the
United States court for fraud In the
Harper postofflee 1” These words con-
fronted Jessamine one day when she
picked up the paper.
“Too bad a perfectly Innocent fellow
gets himself In s place to be technical-
ly guilty of crime, and liable to the
penitentiary,” her cousin, Will Payne,
remarked, looking over her shoulder
at her startled cry. "iSre heard about
It. 8eems a discharged clerk’s twisted
some papers some way, so the blame
falls on the postmaster.”
“Max Eliot’s been adjudged guilty,
and they’re going to send him to
prison, Jessy,” Payne told her a few
days later, “unless the President-par-
dons him. Seems his friends are get-
ting up a petition.”
Jessamine fled to her room.

Maxon Eliot, two weeks afterward,
when he was going to his room at his
hotel, after a satisfactory Interview
with the nation’s chief executive.
When he went to the address given a
figure In a blue traveling suit ran
across the room, and then Jessamine
Farra was clinging to him, crying soft-
ly, “Oh, Max!—Max, dear!”
“Why, Jessy—Jessy!” Astonishment
wrapped him. “What Is the matter?”
“Oh, Max, I want you I” she sobbed;
“I want you I*
Maxon’s heart, racing with the wild
happiness of her weight against ft,
overcame him, and In spite of himself,
for an Instant, his arms went about
her and held her tight i then he remem-

Kiss nie, Mnx!”
Max kissed her* then held her away
from him with a groan.
“Oh. love, I can’t—I can’t let you

Indigestion, Gas

Acid'Stomach
An acid-stomach cannot digest food
properly. Instead, the food sours and
ferments and, passing Into the Intes-
tines, becomes a breeding place for
countless millions of deadly germs—
toxic poisons they are called. These
poisons are absorbed Into the system
and cause untold misery. So, you see,
It Is Just acid-stomach, nothing else—
that makes so many people weak, list-
less and unfit; saps their strength and
energy; robs them of their vigor and
vitality. Biliousness, bad liver, nerv-
ousness. blinding, splitting headaches,
rheumatism, lumbago, sciatica—those
■nd ninny other still more serious ail-
ments often are traced to the com-
mon source—nn acid-stomach.
Tnke EATONIC and get rid quickly
of the pains of Indigestion, heartburn,
that horrible, lumpy, bloated feeling
after eating; disgusting, belching,
food-repeating; sour, gassy stomach.
These stomach miseries are caused by
what doctors call “Hyperacidity.” It’s
Just ACID-STOMACH. And in ad-
dition to the pains nnd miseries It
causes, ACID-STOMACH Is the start-
er of a long train of ailments that
nost people never dreamed are In
any way connected with the stomach.
Pleasant tasting EATONIC TAB-

troubles. They act as an absorbent—
literally wipe up the excess hurtful
acid and make the stomach pare,

Few' men hnve ever had to bear such
a heavy burden as the prime minister
has had to carry during the last three
months. A general election, a peace
conference and Industrial trouble
each would hnve Meant an epoch In
the pre-war life of a premier. How
does Lloyd George manage to keep so
cheery nnd fit? An Interesting light
on this point Is thrown by the f
that recently Mr. Lloyd George has
several times strolled Into a room oc-
cupied by his staff and asked If the
girl secretaries had any amusing novel
there. He has picked up some light
literature nnd gone off to read It qui-
etly for half an hour or so as a dli
traction from more serious affairs.—
