MONDAY, JANUARY 22, 1917. i O S SIDE TALKS BY RUTH CAMERON | sivings, way which some people have | of announcing the things they think | as facts is something which aston- i ishes me every time I come up against | it. { On our telephone line is a woman ;who calls up another woman every morning and talks to her about half jan hour. | T was speaking about this habit to | & neighbor of mine. “I sometimes wonder who it can be,” I said. “It's her sister-in-law,” said my neighbor. She stated it as a fact. occurred to me to doubt it. She Hardly Speaks to the Woman. A few days later I chanced to hear that the woman on my line and her sister-in-law have never been friends and barely speak when they meet. The next time I met my neighbor I mentioned this fact to her. “Is that so?” she sald placidly. “Then it can’t be she that Mrs. M. is talking to. It must be Mrs. L., then; I know they are very intimate.” Naturally, I took this information with a heaping teaspoonful of salt. You Learn to Use Plenty of Salt. That is what happens whenever You find you have to deal with a per- son who has this habit. You don’t feel any assurance that anything he or she says is founded on a basis of knowledge. How should you? It happens that I never caught this neighbor in such a statement before. It never Fact and Fal;cy Mixed. She has told me many things which I have accepted as unquestionably so, because she has a large authoritative manner that predisposes one to be impressed by what she says. But since I have checked her up in one unfounded statement, I know I shall not be able to help wondering if all her statements are born of intuition rather than knowledge. Men Can’t Mix Fact and Fancy So Much. Women, I think, to this habit than men. to know, rather than think. world they live in demands it them. They may sometimes make un- founded statements, but they more apt to qualify them by “I think” or “I bet.! And yet T have met a few men who had this habit. One of these con- stantly announces the most astonish- ings things as facts.. One was that Roosevelt wanted to be king of ‘Amer- ica; that he knew beyond question. Who told him? Nobody. He knew it. You might judge from this in- stance that he is rather unbalanced. Yet he is an unusually successful voung business man, The only answer, to my mind, ~ ig that he must keep this habit for his social life and exclude it from his business intercourse. - 7o, Corrimn— How Cora and David Temple A STORY YOU CAN BEGIN AT ANY TIMB Her Side-- and His' Solved Their Marital Problems By ZOE BECKLEY are more prone Men have The | of | are THE ROAD TO OPPORTUNITY IS OFTEN BLOCKED But Mrs. Daisy Peterson, Stanley Quarter, New Britain, Took Advan- tage of it and Won Out Thercby. ”]\I(Lny of us lose our opportunity of life by the reason of ill health, said Mr. Martin, the Lax-a-Tone expert at Economy New England Drug Co., they | block that road up and attempt to B8O around it, in other words, they try to succeed against odds by working when they are half sick. Why not remove the bloc¢k that stands in their way by Lax-a-Tone it will surprise you how much better you will feel when you have used a few doses of it. It has made lots of happiness right here in New Britain and is going to make Iots more of it. Mrs. Peterson say “Lax-a-Tone has certainly done wonders for me. I suffered for | past three years with very bad health due to nervousness, stomach pains, constipation, pains in the back and se- vere headaches. I was in a bad shape | but thanks to Lax-a-Tone, I am today a well woman and feel that I should endorse this remedy.” There are many people that you know personally in this city that have suffered as Mrs. Peterson did, and you have seen them tell how they people want to make regular sanitar- iums out of their homes instead of having all the family well and hap- py. I don't cost much to give La: Tone a trial and one bottle will con- ! vince you that this remedy has merit. As Lax-a-Tone is purely Herbal it is not harmful at all, but it has a formulae that is scientific and we do not advertise to help a single ailment but what we can back it up with the ingredients. Mr. Martin will explain t to you, also show you many people that have been helped by this rem- edy. The Lax-a-Tone man is at the Econ- omy New England Drug Co., 265 Main street, where he is introducing this remedy to the New Britain public. He will remain until 9 p. m.

Crafton’s light words released in Janet a flood of feeling. Her numb- ness melted. Hot reaction sent blood to her face, dizzy resentment to her brain. She tried hard to mask under & lively manner what was pasi- ing in her mind. She would not give the worldly Dorothea a chance to glont. K cially she would not per- mit Roy Nicoll to see how this detec- tive work had shaken her faith and stirred her smoldering fears into leap- ing fires of suspicion. The rest of the evening was an agony. It seemed to Janet as if the stupid play would never end; that Dot Crafton would never stop her chatter and let them leave the smart supper room they went to from the theater. At last however, Nicoll's car deposited Janet at the door of her home. “Don’t misunderstand my motives in having Walt Stedman watched,” he whispered as he accompanied Janet to the elevator, leaving Dot for the moment alone in the motor.
