In a few min~ {>» utes you will know why everybody recommends Min- ard’s liniment for poor, ach- ing, sore feet. It reduces he inflammation that causes the itch- ng, burning and swelling. It helps the plood to circulate and soothes and pools—and does mot stain, burn or plister. It gives relief quickly because |f its healing, antiseptic properties ind frees you from foot misery. > > NEW PP e e How Cora and Davld Temple By ZOE A STORY YOU CAN BEGIN AT ANY TIME H Her Side---and His Solved Their Marital PIroblems BECKLYY ow you just kKeep on letting me think for you dear,” said Walter Sted man, as his wife snuggled against his shoulder contentedly. “I'm no tyrant, as you well know. But there ar times when a man can think for woman better than she can for self.” “Just as a woman,” put Janet, “can think better for a man some- times—like when he is being imposed on by another woman, or wearing himself to a shadow with overworl or going out into storms without hi rubbers, or eating and drinking and smoking too much, or-—or— “There!” Never mind racking you brain, you poor little, self-righteou she-person,” grinned Walt lovingly “For that matter, when anvbody is overworked and overstrung and over- tired, whether man or woman, some- body else can do the thinking for that person better than he can himself. Now, for example, I've made up my mind that you are to go straight up to Hill Farms Inn for two fat wecks | of absolute rest and quiet.” “Oh, Waltie! Not that swell, pensive place! I'a feel as guilty an idle millionaire. I never could—" ‘“There, it's settled,’ sald Stedman, paying no attention to his wife’s con- vulsive objections. ‘I'll go up with you tomorrow evening and stay over Sunday. Then you are to forget me and your office and all your work and —and all your friends and all your housekeeping and everything in the whole world but relaxation and rest. It's the boss's orders,” added Walt firmly. And thus it was settled, the masculine mind, for this time at least, overbearing all objections and all qualms of conscience the feminine heart conjured up. On the following Monday morning, therefore, Janet Stedman found her- self waving good-by to her husband from the porch of a lavishly com- fortable and beautiful country hotel on the shore of a lake in the heart of the hills.
