Y HUSBAND’S LOVE Adele Garrison' New Phase of . Why Madge's Heart Warmed Anew to Mother Graham I accepted Katherine's offer with a grateful little acknowledgment of her thoughtfulness. But I mounted ~the stairs with slow reluctance, try- ing to decide just how much I should tell my mother-in-law about the bun- dle which she had taken from Jim, and which 1 knew contained the overcoat Harry Underwod had placed under Jim when he had tied the man. Although my instincts and my fear of her strictures cried out against such a source, my common sense told me that the only thing to do was to reveal to Mother Graham at once the identy of the overcoat's owner, Soener or later her keen old wits and her persistence would worm the truth out of Jim, and then she would has a justifiable cause of anger against me. But it was with much the feeling of a small” boy being taken to the woodshed for chastisement, that I en- tered the half-open door of my moth- er-in-law's room to find her bending over the opened parcel she had taken from Jim, and exploring with skilful fingers the texture of the coat. . Mother Graham is Excited “There's some mystery here, Mar- garet,” she announced, turning to me, her eyes shining with the love of the melodramatic which is so strong within her. “This overcoat is a cost- 1y thing. It never was worn by a common criminal. o “It was not,” T returned with pur- poseful emphasis. My mother-in-law glanced at me. | YWhy! What do yvou know?" she asked. 1 told her in as dramatic a fashion as 1 could manage. 1 didn't keep | anything back. I ven the detail of the scarab pin, which Mr. Under- wood had pinned inside Jim's coat with instructions to give it to me, I tojd her carefully. And it was with the distinct feeling that I was going to be “hung for a sheep,” indeed, that | 1 ‘paused at last and waited for the | deluge of eriticism which I was sure | would be my portion. But my mother-in-law is much like her ®son—sure to do the unexpected think—and I saw nothing save ex- citement and blissful enjoyment of the situation in her eyes when I had finished. “Harry Underwood !" she repeated. “What do you know about that?" I made no answer. I saw that she required none, and 1 was only too glad to let her have the monopoly of the conversation. | one of the troopers, while her hus- i [ the bootleggers, that's easy to be seen,” she went on musingly, “but why he should go out of his way to let you know he was there——depend upon it, Margaret, you're not through with this yet.” “That's what T am afraid,” I said. “What do you think I had better do about it?" i “I'll Settle Her.” Now, to ask Mother Graham's ad- vite is the surest way to disarm her, She beamed benevolently at me, then wrinkled up her forehead in thought. “I shouldn't do anything,” she said sensibly at last. When she is not angrw, and can put aside her pre- judices, Mother Graham has an ex- ceedingly sane and sage outlook upon life's problems which has often helped me, “Iie probably only wanted to be a bit theatrical-—he always did act like a donkey when you were around -and you may not hear anything from him again. But see to it that you don’t let anybody else know about it. Do you think Jim's mouth is ef- fertually closed 2" “Unless Katie worms the truth out of him,” I returned, and told her of my little maid's shrewd surmise. “T'll settle her,” my mother-in-law said grimly. “Leave her to me,” and queerly enough, I felt glad, indeed, to shift the responsibility for Katie's pos- sible garrulousness to my mother-in- law's capable shoulders. ““What are they going to do with those'people across the road?"” Moth- er Graham turned the conversational switch in the bewildering fashion characteristic of her. “The Federal officers will decide,” 1 mid. ntil then the woman will remain at home under the guard of t band stays in jail. But from what 1 learned in the village, certain influen- tial countrymen of theirs are already busy, It is a first offense, you know, and T imagine bail will be fixed up, or something.” “Of course,” s my mother-in-law re- turned witheringly: “Laws don’t mean anything nowadays. But, at that, there's no sense in jailing poor folks like these when some big fel- lows get off scotfree. Well, you've come through it pretty well, Mar- garet, We'll go down and eat our | dinner now, andethen bring Richard Secondup to bed.” She swept majestically down the stairs, evidently in high good humor with herself and the rest of the world. And I, trailing in her wake, felt my heart warm toward the mix- ture of fairness and unreasonableness, kindness and captiousness which is t i “Of course, he's in cahoots with my mother-in-law.

GENERALS OPPOSED 10 REDUCTION OF ARMY 13 Swedish Officials Find That League of Nations Does Not Eliminate Necessity for Preparedness Stockholm, Aug. 15.—Sweden's embership in the League of has not eliminated the necess effective preparations for war, the plan for a drastic reduction of the Swedish army, recently recommended by the Riksdag defense revision com- mittee, does not provide such pre- paredness. This is the official opin- ion of the commission of 18 Swedish generals, after a recent conference. In case of attack Sweden is to re- ceive armed as: ance from other members of the league, but until such assistance arrives, Tt was pointed out, the country must be prepared to re- sist the first shock. * Furthermore, Sweden might in some other case, be called to render military assistance, it was argued, as, for instance, if Fin- land were attacked by Russia. The commission of Swedish generals urges the maintenance of the present number of army units, together with the retention of general compulsory service, It recommends that every conseript be trained during a period of 14 to 16 months, and that the age limit for liability to military serviece be extended to include the forty-fifth year. More complete practical and academic training is recommended for both commissioned and non-commis- sioned officers. The generals recog- nize the importance of civilian avia- tion forces in case of war, and there- | fore recommend state support to avi- and other non-' ators in commercial military service.

It oceurs in both acute and chronic torms. The acute catarrhal form_ of this inflammation is termed '‘coryza.” It is probably the most prevalent and common of all human ills. You have had it, you may have it now, but whether or no—you will have it. Acute coryza is nothing more than a cold in the head. The symptoms.are due to the pres- ence “of development of several dis- tinet micro-organisms — which is no cause for alarm. Tn ordinary cases, sneezing, nasal congestion and a di charge from the nostrils always oc- cur. No Cause For Worry The inflammation may extend to the throat and cause additional trou- ble. An attack of coryza sometimes results in partial or temporary deaf- ness due to the blocking of the eusta- chian tube. .This tube merely func- tions to equalize air pressure on the inner ear, It is nothing to worry about. The treatment consisis of large and frequent doses of good fresh air. A second step in the treatment is an- other double dose of the same thing. This medicine is free and will never do you any harm. Rout Germ Army Drink plenty water. Keep the bow- «ls open and take a brisk walk. As- pirin taken upon going to bed cou- pled with the drinking of some hot liquid will make you perspire. This will throw the ranks of germs into dis- order and usually in full retreat. We may now take into considera- tion some of the preventive measures for avoiding coryza. Don't bundle up like an Eskimo, but wear just enough clothing to keep you warm.s Should you get your’feet wet, change shoes und stockings as soon as possible. Colds are easily transmitted, some- times affecting a whole family at once, Keep away from people who have a cold, People who sneeze and cough should be avoided, Fixercise Necessary Above all remember this: Your re- sistance tells the tale, People who are particularly susceptible to this commen annoyance thould habituate themselves to exercise, deep breath- ing and fresh air. Adenoids or en. larged tonsils should he removed. The diet may be modified s0 as not to con- taln an excess of starchy foods. Keep the body clean and accustom yourself to sleeping with the window open, wihter and summer. Make a few rules for yourself along . these iines and take pains to carry them out, The improvement in your general physical condition will be surprising. By this you will stave off any future | attack or at least reduce its duration | and severity, PALACE Tonight “HUNGRY HEARTS" William A. Kennedy THURS. — FRI — SAT.
