g^g3$gS3$S$$SS$S$gS$$380SS SISTERS BOTH By AGNES G. BROGAN. 'Pyr ight, 19«0, Wustern Newspaper Union.) liuUbt'tt's oju»-riorn cottage nestled i the side of the hill. Its floor was •s clean as white sand could make It, i(1 where th« crisp folds of muslin urtain parted in the wlr.-.low a potted plant showed u cherry crimson rtower. 'a fact everything about Babbette was beery, her own bright face the sun r.iest thing of all. Her grandfather in '•nivlng the cottage forever, bestowed f: ntion Bahbette, renumbering the that .she had ministered unto epaying his loving care of her Mi. od. They had been very happy, iwo, and when (Jene came that had but added to the happiness. For with (Jene's coming love en red the pure heart of the little maid, nd grandfather was relieved of his ionoly fears concerning her future. ISabhotte earnestly searched her tart und found that there was noth ing she would not sacrifice for this nian she loved and it was after she had begun to sew the long seams of )ter marriage llnf»n that Bahbette be unie aware of her lover's silent atti ade and asked the cause. "It's no use, Bahbette," he burst out passionately. "I can't go on with this umdruin Ufa The little raald stared unbelieving ly into the man's shamed, restless face, ihen smiled her trusting smile. "If it is so," she said, "and you must go, Gene, then how wlH you do Jtr "I have already a buyer for my IIace," lie answered eagerly, and Bab Vof'to sighed, that his plans had all been made. '"When I paint the pictures," Gene comforted, "then I will come back for you, Bahbette, and you shall not live humbly as you do now." But when she had kissed him good-by Bahbette went into her shining kitchen and touched her cheek to the flower in the window. "It if} so, that I would live," she breathed, troubled. She now wove her dreams about the letters which came, at first plentifully, then few and far between, from Gene in the city". And though Bahbette went about her daily tasks, she did not sing any more, for before the final cruel letter came she had known with love's instinct what it would he. "I'm sorry." Gene wrote, "that I'm not sure of myself any more, Bahbette, nor even sure of my love for you. Don't you think we'd better not be be trothed, you and I—-but wait and see bow things turn out? There's a girl here—" Babbette folded the letter and put it carefully in the linen chest. It was CeneN writing and it might lie the last she would have from him. So .summer passed, and fall, with no word from Gone. And then, the sur prise of his handwriting upon a broad envelope caused her aching heart to stop almost Its beating. Gene was ill. lie thought she ought to know. There would he no one to tell her If he should not get. better. He wnnted her to know that he realized now her worth. The other girl who liad been kind'fled, he said, when It v:i« made known that he, too, had Succumbed to the infectious disease which was sweeping the land. She lived in the artist's building, close to hint. Had she loved him, of course she would not have gone without a •word. And he—was a failure. The masters gave him no promise. His money was all gone. There was even little food. Abruptly Gene ended his letter, "good-bv." Babbette reached the great strange city next day. It had been hard to part with Mab, the cow, but grand father's friend paid for her sufficient money to tide Babbette over her jour ney. And when she reached the ram bling building where Gene really lived, she sat bewildered on the stair which led to the students' rooms. "I don't know," she said to a chic pretty girl who started to pass, "where I shall find Gene Martinet." The pretty girl sat duvvu on the step at Babbette's side. "You are—his sister?" she asked kindly. "I was his fiancee," Babbette an swered In her honest way, "until Gene ivent away and met—that other girl. If she had loved him I would have given him to her. But he Is HI, and l»ecause of fear, the girl has gone away. So—I came. I am Babbette." The pretty girl smiled, then sudden ly tears filled her eyes. "So you came," she softly repeated, "and you are Babbette!" Impulsively (die put her arm through the little maid's. "I will take you to Gene's door," she offered, and there—paused. *'l hope that you will be happy," the girl said, "and I hope that he will be worthy of your love." She waited to see Babbette's face glorified as she passed through the door, then the pretty girl opened an opposite door and entered a studio where sat another young woman. "You return post haste from your unexpected trip upon learning of your adorer's Illness," the young wom an teased. "Are you going to offer him your devoted services, Marlon?" "Lois," the pretty girl answered Heriouslv. "You are not to tell Gene that I was called away—or that I li|ve returned. That chapter Is closed." "Quarreled?" asked heir friend. "I met a little white-faced sister in the hail," the pretty girl murmured dreamily, then she smiled. Why dig for gold when one may grow potatoes? If a h«n lays an egg they call It on the farm a perfect day. Rice may serve to take the out of the potato corner. starch Another easy crop for the home gardener to raise Is blisters. There is a real shortage of sugar but no shortage of excuses for It Those presidential bees are not a bit particular as to whom they sting. The lower Liberty bonds go the mon attractive they become as an invest ment. Agttafwrs find their occupation when people lose interest and refuse to be agitated. Though silk prices have tumbled, a silk shirt is uot yet the badge ol honest poverty. The girl who took up the overnl fad lost all Interest as s«on as she hat her picture taken. And now a shortage of gasoline if promised. Just when the stuff Is get ting palatable, too. A war that is engaged In to put an end to something is a mighty hard thing to put an end to. These are fine days In which to plar a vacation trip, even if you haven" much hope of taking it. One advantage of the used car is that It gives the purchaser Ijuite a margin of unused money. Clothing and food are coming down, hut love's young dream must still wres tle with the high [trice of flats. It looks as if clothes were going to come down in price and associate with common folk to some extent. Does anyone remember when ft new hotel has been built in Chicago that was not the largest in the world? For the time being the once lowly potato has quit berng a vegeta-ble and has become one of nature's crown jew els. If America's lessons in thrift are carried over into normal times, what a prosperous people we caa reaHy be come S As Thomas Kdison says, In time America will be making her own d\e«. Just now, of course, we are green at it. "It Is a fallacy that jealousy Is nat ural in women," declares a neurologist A neurologist, at timea^ caa get on one's nerves. The Polish government seems to have an eve to business when it selects as minister of finance a man named Grabski. Since 1014 the cost of clothing has Jumped 177 per cent. And the in crease In patches has been in like proportion. Vienna journalists have appealed to American newspaper reporters for financial assistance. Talk about keen nose for news! Count?

Motor Veiiiciu Redemption Salary Fund Marvin State Bauk Stockholm State Bank a Epicures contend that tea and coffer taste much hotter without sugar, and especially without sugar at 20 cents and upward a pound. Potatoes are the mainstay of the poor, but food gnusrers have no com punction in wringing a blood profit out of human necessities. Once upon a time flowers and candy were symbols of undying affection but now a "choklit sodio" investment will prove amply convincing. It begins to look as If D'Annunzto were beginning to get on the nerves of his Flume hosts. That's just the trouble with some guests. Some unnamed scientist comes for ward with the advice that to live long one should oat plenty of sugar. Sounds like profiteering propaganda. One novelist has found one trial mar* riage a success, but millions of persons have found old-fashioned, honest-to goodness marriage successful. Since force seems to accomplish so little, the ambitious nations of the world might try a little meekness in tbe hope of Inheriting the earth. This Is an Iconoclastic age and one by one the idols fall. Now comes a student of gambling who alleges that the famous games of Monte Carlo were never "on the level." Uncle Sam cannot be blamed if he looks the other way when he sees a new republic in the distance, for he is sure to be touched for a loan if he recognizes it. A returning American traveler says that shoes cost $150 a pair In Russia, indicating that for their own good some of our profiteers ought to be deported to Lenine's territory. The IT. C'.

The perfection of a small, simpli fied airplane with a purchase price and upkeep within the reach of the average man, has often been at tempted in both Europe and America. One of the latest American attempts has resulted In the completion of a little monoplane, says Popular Me chanics Magaziue, that measures only twenty-five feet eight Inches in span, weighs only 350 pounds when empty, yet is very satisfactory In per formance. The single-seat body is of the monocque, shell type, with the four struts of the pylon rising in front of the cockpit. Bracing wires stretch from the pylon to eight points on the spars of the right and left wing. Ailerons are of the wing tip, unbalanced variety. A twin cylinder, opposed engine drives the machine, giving it a maximum speed of seven ty-five miles an hour with a loud of 250 pounds. The Unmistakable Cockney. Lady Georgiana Peel tells some good stories in her "Recollections." One concerns her father-in-law, General Peel. He was at a banquet in Paris. Mis trusting his capability of conversing in French, he talked during most of the dinner to a neighbor who he knew liked airing his English but after a time he made up his mind he niusi talk to the silent French gentleman on his left. He gathered his French together, and hazarded a remark: "Quelle chambre magnlfique!" he said, with many distinctly foivign gesticulations. The man leant towards him confi dentially. General Peel braced himself to understand. "Ain't a patch on our Guild'all," was OorNTT op GRANT, I c.

The answer will vary with the disease in question but the main cause is within the body itself. There is something wrong some, v here in the system that is causing i!ie sickness and nine times out of ten it is found to be along the spine. Preasure upon spinal nerves weak the tissues supplied by these nerves and that organ becomes sub ject to decease. The nerves leading to the liver may be under pressure and we would find a disease of that organ. The same is true of every or tnm ot' the body. The proper treatment is to remove the cause and that is what we seek to do by bringing every part of the body into proper adjustment with every other part, in fact we restore har mony of action within the body, than we have the conditiou wc call health.
