mmm PAIIl BARNES' CHARM —_—teo—— By MILDRED CAROLINE GOOD- RIDGE. “Paul Barnes is so ethereal—that is his charm,” lisped Miss Minerva Ir- win, apropos of the man she expected | o marry. Her close friend, Ada Warner, looked impressed. Not so, blunt, plain- spoken Jerome Haight, hgr flance. He was a great, honest bear of a fellow. Haight had been obliged to work his own way in the world. Practical common-sense was his basis. He had little patience with the constant aes- thetic pose of Miss Irwin, and was 6 glad when she was gone. “She is so cultured, so refined, isn’t e didasl LAUNDRY ECEEr T YA WS § éS anitary Sdd el No disease germs can live in Clothing that are sent to ,wand we are Careful in the Laundrying, not to Damage ) tfl.

There was not his superior in athletics in the village, he was straight as an arrow, strong as a lion. He was truthful, self-reliant. Mise Irwin was indeed spciling Ada. There was no doubt that in joining the cult her lover had improved so far as an ablility for petty drawling high art ideas was concerned. He had grown immaculate in his dress. To pick a flower, he would have been horrified to vulgarly snip it from the stem without a napkin or a handker- chief to protect the tips of his spot- less lemon colored gloves. He never smiled. To laugh outright would have disturbed his aesthetic ideas for hours. He became a drone and acted bored. “A Dbalanced serenity,” was the way Miss Irwin described the tired, blase pose of her inestimable suitor. “And, oh! he has such poetical ideas!

She was described to Jerome as some rare princess of light, beauty and brains; but he resisted the mag- netic influence. “I understand that she collects two dollars a head in advance at these aesthetic seances,” he advised Ada. “Barnes inherited his money; I have to earn mine.

THE EVENING TALEGRAM, LAKELAND, FLA., DEC. 2, 1914. home for you and me, one of these | days. We won't waste time and money listening to a lot of mushy trash. We'll take a right royal spin on the river, dear. Bracing air, the invigorating skate glides—they are worth all the stufty, idealistic nonsense of your clever ‘high priestess of the soul shop,’ believe me!” And Jerome looked so strong, so noble, so intensely humanly perfect that Ada began to think that there was a force and meaning to his self- reliant ways, that promised something better of a future than the azure- tinted, pearl-tipped * pictures painted by the impressible Miss Irwin. Certainly it was a jovial, inspiring scene to participate in, that of the following evening. All the village was out on the river, it seemed. Laughter, exercise, health—the atmosphere was pungent with their influence. Miss Irwin appeared for a moment to look on, shrugged her dainty shoulders at.l “the common herd” and went home. Her escort, Barnes, shivered. It hurt his sensitive feelings to see people enjoying themselves in this crude way. “Wait—wait!” spoke Jerome, half an hour later, as amid the rare ex- hilaration of the sport, Ada dashed | away from him with a gay trilling laugh of defiance. “Now, catch me if you can!” was the quick challenge. They had skated beyond the center of sport. Ada was away like a sprite. | She managed to get a fair start in ad- | vance of Jerome, and glided nlongf recklessly. “Stop! Turn quick!” shot out Jerome. “A danger sign, Ada!” and his shout was a thrill as he noted what had happened. Heedless of the sign Ada had swung past it. There was a warning crackle and then a crash. She fell as a break : in the ice tripped her up. Then, half engulfed in the chilling flood, her head Just in time, but not until Ada was half submerged, Jerome reached her fairly dancing over the swaying sur- face, and bore her out of the peril “Darling, speak!” he breathed in love and alarm, but a dark bruise showed on Ada's forehead. She lay limp and senseless. With a jerk Jerome tore off his overcoat. He wrapped Ada within it. Then with the strength and vigor that was not born of the “balanced seren- ity” of the “soul shop,” he darted away like an arrow. | Ada’s hurt was slight, but the doc- tor summoned at the Warner home told Mrs. Warner: “If she had not been brought to shelter and warmed as speedily as she was, the cruel cold might have done something severe for her.” “And if T had been with Mr. Barnes, five miles from a house, what would have bedome of me!” Ada whispered penitently to Jerome. “Yes,” responded her lover with a smile, “I can fancy our delicately bal- anced friend carrying you to safety!" | o “Oh, Jerome! can you ever forgive me for ever trying to ‘reflne’ you through a course of lectures at that dreadful ‘soul shop? pleaded Ada, two evenings later. “Why, what has happened now?” in- quired Jerome. “Paul Barnes has eloped with the | high priestess of the cult,” was the stunning announcement. (Copyright, 1914, by W. G. Chapman.) URGES USE OF GOAT’S MILK fold Advantages Over the Product of the Cow. That many diseases are spread by milk is a fact on which physictans are agreed. But they differ widely as to how the milk shall be made pure. Of course the ideal method is to in- farms, the health of the cows and the sanitary condition of the palls, cans j and bottles in which the milk 1s placed. But this is both difficult and expensive. Many physicians urge the pasteuri- zation of the milk, that is to say, its heating to 140 degrees F., and its be- ing kept at that temperature for halt an hour. Others say that this destroys the food value of the milk and it is better to run the risk of septic sore throat, tonsilitis, scarlet fever, typhoid | fever and diphtheria than to drink milk that is valueless as food. Another suggestion comes from an eminent English physician, Dr. Walter Edmunds of London, who urges thot cows’ milk be discarded in favor o? goats’. Writing to the Lancet, he says: “Goats practically never have tuber- ' cle, therefore their milk can be given | without pasteurizing; further, itscan ! be obtained fresh and clean. I once | caught in a test tube milk from the teat of a goat being milked by a boy; | the test tube was placed in an incuba- | tor and remained sterile. Goats are small and cleanly animals, and can be kept in health even in the center of a | large town; their milk is said to be ! better for infants than cows’ milk be- cause the curd is finer.” The Goat society of England calcu- lates that for every 2% cents pent on | the keep of a goat it returns one ' quart of miik.
