Dogs and cats are also ent from place to place by the same method. I n fact, the parcel post system 13 conducted on altogether broader lines In Germany and some other countries than in England. For instance, the Ger man postoffice not only delivers parcels but undertak es to collect payment on the " C. O. O " plan. Herein lies a great ad - Vantage both to tradesmen and to the housewife, and since the parcel weighing eleven pounds, which costs in England twenty-five cents to send, costs in Ger many but six cents, or rather less, it is n ot surprising that the German postoffice handl es twice as much business as the English, Dr. Shoop's Rheumatic Cure - Costs Nothing if 'It Fails.y Any honest person who suffers from Rheuma Vem is welcome to this offer. . -I am a specialist in Rheumatism, and hare treated more cases than any other physician, 1 think.

" u s ree AN ACTRESS' STORY v curedl y *" i , ^ i . --i , i - * ^ v A Philadelphia Young WomanWent on the Stage to Rescue Her Father. Dr. Mangasarian Was Released from a Turkish Prison Through Her Efforts. Flora Zabelle, phia's sma rt set and one of the most at tractive young women of the town, hand some in face and form and intellectually superior to her class, has gone upon the stage for the purpose of earning money enough to remove her father from a Turk ish prison. Her father is Dr. Mangasar ian, Zabelle being the stage name the young woman has chosen. Dr. Mangasarian with his wife and daught er migrated from Stamboul, Tur key, some fifteen yea rs ago to take up his residence in the cuiaker city, where he later became pastor of the Presbyterian church. Hi s intelligent readings, ora tions and services were sufficiently im - pressive to ' place him' on a high scale of excellence, and the name of Mangasar ian soon became kno wn in the exclusive society of Philadelphia. During one of his lectures he was thoroughly carried away by his own emotions in defense of the Armenians who were being massacred and his denunciations of Turkey's sultan were of a strenuous nature. The sultan in some way informed of Dr. Mangasarian's public denunciation, and expressed in loud terms his displeas ure against the man who had' formerly lived under his flag. . About three yea rs ago Dr . Mangasarian was commissioned to execute a secret mis sion in Constantinople. Considerable care was observed to conceal his identity, as he traveled incognito and even shaved his beard and mustache. Through some mysterious channel known principally to orientals, news of the pastor's visit was carried to the sultan and when Dr. Man gasarian landed at Constantinople he was immediately arrested and thrown into prison. All efforts at the time on the part of the American consul were ap parently futile. His- family was left in an almost destitute condition and they were unable to communicate with him. Through the kind offices of Dr. Felix Adler the wife and daughter. Zabelle. were brought to Ne w York. Th e girl was pretty and had often afforded much en - tertainme nt at home by her clever ama teur work. What little money they man aged to realize on the effects which they were compelled to dispose of soon dwindled to nothing, and with great re luctance Zabelle's mother finally agreed to allow her daughter to adopt a career on the stage, which might eventually pro vide the requisite funds to assist in free ing Dr. Mangasarian. Inexperienced, unsophisticated, and with much temerity, Miss Zabelle made an am bitious tour of the various theatrical agen cies in Ne w York, and every application was met with the sa me cold replyto the effect that an inexperienced girl was prac tically useless. At about this time Henry W . Savage was organizing an opera company to pre sent opera in English and the young wom an approached the manager. Mr. Savage tried her voice, and. finding it satisfactory, gave her an engagement in the chorus. Her refined ways, quiet deportment and ambitious application to her work was ob vious to her associates, and while it was impossible to give her work of sufficient importance in gra nd opera which might command a more remunerative stipend than chorus work provided, Mr. Savage did not fail to recognize that Miss Za - belle was above the average chorus girl. It was not long before her story became kno wn to the members of the company, and little by little she gained that knowl edge of stagecraft which is almost impos sible to gain outside the chorus to qualify her for something better. During this period of her stage sareer Dr. Mangasarian was unconscious of his daughter's advent into the theatrical pro fession, and while she was supporting her moth er and herself, she manag ed to put away each week enough to eventually con tribute to an attempt to release her father from the terrible clutches of the Sultan of Turkey. No summer vacation was to be thought of. An engagement with a musical organ ization which played Atlantic City was the next step, and then a winter engage ment in "The Messenger Boy" with James T. Powers, brought her into metropolitan favor. The young woman made a pronounced "hi t" with her fascinating eyes, cultured voice and pleasing stage presence. A t about this period she had earned sufficient money to engage a reputable attorney of international connection, whose t to work, armed with a retainer of no small pro portions. His efforts were crowned with success and on the last night of "King Dodo's" Chicago run Dr. Mangassarian ar - rived to see his daughter for the first time on the stage. v a member of' Philadel- A HEART LUNCHEON A Pretty Affair Which Was Given to An - nounce an Engage- ment. At a recent luncheon, to announce an engagement, hearts predominated in the decorative and menu scheme. The luncheon was given by an aunt of the fiance to a dozen of her girl friends. A t each cover were heart-shaped boxes filled with rice, to be kept for the wedding rice throwing. Th e centerpiece of pink roses outlined a heart. Oyer the head of the guest of honor hung a large double heart, gilded, and filled with pink rose petals. This heart was of two pieces of past e board fitted together. A pink ribbon hung from the top of one, and the bottom of the other, and as the formal announcement was made at the end. of the luncheon, two girls reached up and pulled each of them a ribbon, which released the shower of rose leaves on the head of the blushing bride-to-be. One of the courses was heart salad. This was tomato jelly moulded in heart shape, each resting on a lettuce and masked with mayonnaise into which bi*oken English walnu ts had been stirred. With this were hand ed round heart sand wiches made of small crustless-hearts of brown, and white bread put together^ Tvhite and brown. A large heart-shap ed cake bore a double monogram, and was pierced by a golden arrow. - While on the subject of announceme nt festivals the ingenious method of an other fiancee is worth recording. Although her name has been coupled with the right man, nothing definite was known, and the company of young women gathered at the luncheon entirely unsuspicious of the pending word. Th e name cards were plain, small white cards, and the courses were well under way when one guest chanced to turn her card over. On the other side was the engraved name of the fortunate lover, and on teasingly calling the attention of the company to the fact, other cards were turned over, to find that all were the visiting cards of the same ma n. So the secret was out. A PARDONABLE MISTAKE. Woman's Home Companion. A small town in the southern part of Ken tucky arose to the affluence of a golf clwb.

I used the treatment for fully three months,.each, day feeling better until gradually new health and strength came to me. I cannot speak too highly Wine of Cardui strikes at the very seat of female weakness by regulating the menstrual flow. ^The Wine is a successful prescription that has stood the test for three-quarters of a century durmg which period1,500,000 suffering women have secured health by its use.
