Yet have you known exactly the meaning of that help? I hadn't known it until a week ago—when I spent a few days with the Social Welfare workers of Seattle. Now I had it all figured out beforehand how I'd become “T of the Slums,” Angel or something like that, I'd heard about such creatures pnd was all ready to foln the ranks, wear the halo and carry the basket of preserves But come to find out, Seattle hasn't any sluma, Only in the Chine district, south of Yesler way, where alleys are dingy and narrow stairways are creaking and black, is a slight resemblance to the slums of the East to be found Seattle hay no “tenements.” An yet, a poverty, due not so much to shiftiessness and vies but rather to unemployment and ill health, has found its way into the city—and has come to roost in the homes of the working people, The work of the Social Welfare league is to shoo away this poverty And I learned, during the past week, that that shooing ls not accom Plished with the aforementioned basket of preserves. “Of course,” one of the 15 social service “visitors” told me the first morning she and I started out, “of course, food must come first.

She was the one who could be de-| pended upon to appreciate the Caruso phonograp! record, and the Chinese lantern which Mr. Marbury | had brought back from San Francisco. Carol found | the Marburys admiring and therefore admirable. This September Sunday evening she wore a net} frock with a pale pink lining. A nap had soothe jaway the faint lines of tiredness beside her eyes. |She was young, naive, stimulated by the coolness. She flung her coat at the chair in the hall of the flat, and exploded into the green-plush living-room. The familiar group was trying to be conversational. She saw Mr. Marbury, a woman teacher of gymnastics in a high school, a chief clerk from the Great North- ern Railway offices, a young lawyer. But there was also a stranger, a thick tall man of 36 or 87, with} stolid brown hair, lips used to giving orders, which followed everything good-naturedly, clothes which you could never quite remember. @Mr. Marbury boomed, “Carol, come over here and meet Doc Kennicott—Dr. Will Kennicott, of Gopher 'Prairie.

By a 20-Year-Old Star Reporter Oh, folks! Have you tried Sedico? If you haven't, you’re in the same class with the person who never yet has tried Pears’ soap; you're behind the times! } I found Sedico Wednesday afternoon, search, after a> diligent It is the greatest discovery I have ever made. It has the greatest percentage of “kick” to the square inch of | any liquid you ever tried. It’s sure an awful joke on Mr. Volstead, and the 18th amendment. This is a free ac for Sedico! Sedico is an “Orange Extract,” I found, It is sold only in drug stores, The label states in a nice, bold hand that the purchaser can expect a total “wallop” of 94 degrees simon-pure alcohol, and it lives up to the statistics. Before I bought any I visited the police dry squad to see if it was safe arry home. “Sure,” they told me, “it’s safe if it don’t explode on you. That stuff has protection and we can’t touch it.” So now I'm recommending Sedico. It's good for anything—lumbago, cramps, sea-sickness, sore throat, mince, pie, plum pudding, backache, or shoe shining. It can be used internally, externally, or to clean hats. It ts equally good to polish off an evening of entertainment with no risk to yourself. When put in ice cream it gives a mild, exhilarating effect quite similar to good Scotch. Hats off to the king of prohibition drinks!
