Ten minutes of pleasant chatter fol- lowed, and then McCarty tore himself i determinedly away to get to the~shop beneath his rooms before M. Girard had' retired for the night. He found a light glowing dimly from the rear. but the door was bolted, and he rapped smartly upon the glass panel. Mincing footsteps sounded from within, and a withered little man opened the door and peered out. “Ah, it is you, my friend! Entre He bowed jerkily and waved with a grand manner toward the back of the shop. where behind faded brocade cur- tains which once had graced the boudofr of a king's favorite he had ar- ranged a gort of study for himself. Here was his Voltaire and his box of long, slender, odoriferous cigars, his chessboard and the cello from which haunting strains rose now and again to McCarty’s rooms, to fill him with sentimental melancholy or lively exasperation, according to his mood. Here, too; M. Girard kept his shop ac- counts and entertained the few who came to see him, for he was an old man and lonely. “Say, Girard, a_funny thing hap- pened 'today!” McCarty began. “I came to tell you about it earlier, but you were awa: “Out to the cemetery.” M.

When — == : i A - Lack of Vitamines in the Modern Diet Keeps Thousands Thin and Run-Down. Yeast Vitamines Now at Last in Convenient Tablet Form—Combined with Iron to Bring Better and Quickest Results. ples, boils, acne (blackfleads) and other facial blemishes. A famous doctor has called this discovery “the miracle of yeast.” That all yeast is rich in vitamines and is therefore aid to run-down conditions and a necessary addition to diet is proved beyond a doubt. But there are thousands of people who are not taking yeast in best form. - Take Yeast With Iron for Best Results It is found that yeast is more beneficial to the human system when it is combined with iron -and other health- building ingredients. . It was for this reason that chemists worked out the formula of “IRONIZED YEAST,” ¢he new vitamine tonic treatment in tablet form. Besides being in tablet form, and therefore convenient for use and pleasing to take, “IRONIZED YEAST” contains organic iron (sim- ilar to the iron found in spinach, raisins), which is the kind of iron most easily assimilated by the system. When iron in this form is used the beneficial effects of yeast are often felt in much less than the usual time. Before you have half finished the first box of IRON- IZED YEAST, you will feel the wonderful effect of the vitamines and tonics it contains. “IRONIZED YEAST” comes in only one size package, which: con- tains 10 days’ treatment and costs only $1.00. Thus it costs no more - per, dose than common 'yeast—only 3 10c a day—and is much more effec- tive. Special directions for children - in-each package. iy For sale by ‘the Peopl les Drug i Stores and by good druggists every-- iy o 3 F YOU suffer from any of the s}mptqms of run-down- o nzss, fatigue, depression, thinness, lack of energy, etc;, it may be that your food is actually starving you to death! Ninety out of every one hundred people are eating their way to ill health and run-down condition. The rea- = son is that due to modern methods of cooking and of food preparation the average diet of meat, potatoes, pre- pared foods, etc., is almost entirely lacking in a certain substance which is absolutely essential to good health. This substance is known as vitamines. Science has established the fact that these vitamines exert a vital influence on the cell-building process in our muscles, nerves and blood. Experiments show that a lack of vitamines in the body will. invariably produce a decline in health, strength and energy. The “Miracle of Yeast-Vitamines” _ Since the discovery of the tremendous importance of vitamines, the medical world has been startled by the knowledge that common yeast is by far the richest known source of these essential substances. - Heretofore yeast was regarded as useless except for making bread. Now it is known to be the very founda- tion of a- healthy diet. Children grow more: sturdy, run-down peo- ple are made well, thin people gain weight—simply by taking more yeast vitamines. Physicians are prescribing them to ‘thousarids of patients. Experi- ments conducted in great medical ~ institutions have shown' that yeast- vitamines not only bring quick im- - 2523 * : provement in rundown conditions, - but are very useful in treating pim- AROUND THE Club, the first woman judge of thej prelute and the brevity of the law.f; CITY | ness obligation, though I'm not say- ‘:n'.':gi darling, that it will ever happen n.

And why she returned her fee A storm blew down a tree. And the gap has Leen filled with a sapling that cranes its green head above a tree- box, very like a child stands on tip- toe to see over a fence. Naturally, a tree like that isn't worth a second glance—unless you had been passing it just when an ancient man was pick- ing a catepillar from it and unin- tentionally threw the thing in your of ace, which makes a difference, course. He was so deeply moftified, and so downright chivalrous in his apolog: that tc have flung out a “don’t men- tion it” and moved on would have been the act of a cad, especially, if a magnifying glass has given you the proper respect for a caterpillar's beauty and grace. So the woman paused to remark on his helpfulness to the little tree and to ask the ancient man if he thought it would ever amount to anything. “It is already greater than all these elms put together, ma’am, because it Is a Sprout shooting up into vigorous growth while these trees, like myself. ma’'am, are dying at the roots. Nature allows the old to cumber the world fo) awhile, but she has no use for age though nothing on earth is so old as hers It is the saplings, and the ds in the ground, and the little children who are the heirs of life ma’am, crowding us out, to be shoved aside in turn, a lttle later on.” You have read books and heard lec- tures along this line, but when you are listening to an ancient man who had been a slave during his formative years, and, lacking education, had figured out these big facts fof himself, |¥ou would have realized, as the woman did, that it isn’t only the flowers of verse that are born to blush unseen: there are minds. How many minds there must be in this world that have had to waste their sweetness on the desert air! And as the woman went her way in the dusk there seemed to walk with her the memory of one she had hotly ied in her youth, a girl who was born and lived and died in the back- woods, and whose work-distorted body wast temple of song. As she drudged in field or cabin, singing to herself “for company,” her voice had in it the meiow deepness of an organ, and the Joyous lightness of a bird that carols ona bough. But few ever heard it, for the reason that they wouldn't let her ising in the choir because it “drowned out all the other voices,” and, anyhow. |she was only a poor white—which was worse. 3 A colored mah and a poor white with God-given talent that never saw the light. And so many of us possessing bilities that are mere knacks manage to build up bank accounts.

This privilege has | been won by Mr. Mateer of Rosslyn, who has donated the use of two beau- tiful green acres for a summer camp for the children of the Washington City Orphanage; by several other kindly * gentlemen, who contributed tents, and by Mrs. Bayley, who is al- llowing the use of ground for base ball and tennis.

In the years fol- lowing the civil war, when the young men of Washington wanted to make themselves agreeable to their dul- cineas, it was the fashion to hire, not a hall and a jazz band, as in these days, but an express wagon. On this wagon they mounted & piano and themselves and traveled around the city to serenade their charmers. At that time there was a famous dancer 'in Washington, noted equally for her sterling womanhood and her grace and charm as an artiste. Desiring to pay her tribute four young men, famed for their fine voices, wended itheir way. one moonlit right.

They began the concert with “Dear Evelina, substituting the dancer's name for that of the heroine of the popular song. The jongleurs had got no further than the first strain when a window was thrown violently open and a_harsh -voice (said to be that of Maj.

Anne Arundel selects are bringing 20.00 to 25.00 per hundred; Maryland and Vir- ginia, 15.00 to 20.00, and primes of all sections, 5.00 to 10.00, while culls are hardly salable at uncertain values. Under_lighter receipts and an im- proved demand the market for canta- loupes rules firm, at 69 to 1.10 per 4x8 basket, and 1.50 to 2.25 per crate. The demand for peaches continues good and with receipts running light the market is firm at 1.50 to 1.75 per 4x8 basket; 1.00 to 2.00 per box, and 2.00 to ¥3.00 per crate, while fancy mountain peaches will bring s high as 5.0 Oper bushel. For thé” better grades of eating apples there is a broadening demand at 2.50 to 4.00 per barrel and 1.50 to 3.00 per bushel, but small windfalls and inferior fruit are of uncertain value and slow sale. Native Bartlett and Seckel pears are in fair demand at 1.00 to 1.25 per 4x8 basket for the former and 70 to 1.00 for the latter, but common pears are not wanted at 50 to 75.
