The chief cause of poor health b our neglect of the bowels, Waste Matter, instead of passing from the lower intestine regularly every day, ,is allowed to remain there, generating prisons which are absorbed by the blood. In other words, a person who Is habitually constipated, is poisoning himself. :We know now that Auto- intoxication, due to non -action, of the bowels, is directly responsible for serious Kidney and Bladder Troubles; that it upsets the Stomach, causes Indigestion, Loss of Appetite and Sleeplessness; that chronic Rheum- atism, Gout, Pain In The Back, are relieved as soon as the bowels become regular; and that Pimples, Rashes, Eczema and, other Skin Affections disappear when "Fruit-a.tives" are taken to correct Constipation.

STORY THAT MAINWARING . AFFAIR by A, Maynard Barbour * * * * * * * (Continued from last Week) expert testimony seldom equalled, all for the perposu of determining the validity or levalidlty of a bit of pap- er—yellow with age, time -Worn and mustY—whiSh stood as an insurmount. able barrier between Ralph Mainwar- ing aud the . fulfilment of his long cherished project, • The Fair Oaks tragedy still remained as deep a mystery as an the morning when, in all its horror of sickening de- ' tail, it had startled and shocked the I entire connuunity. No trace of the murderer had been as yet reported, Mid even Mr, Whitney had been forced to acknowledge in reply to numerous inquiries that he had of late received no tidings whatever from Merrick, either of success or failure. Since the announcement of Harold Mainwaring at the club that he would not touch a farthing of the Mainwaring estate until not only his own name ! should be cleared, of the slightest im- putation of murder, but until the mur- der itself should he avenged, it had been rumored that.the party at Wald. orf uses' in possession of facts contain- , ing the clue to the whole mystery, , Though this was mere conjecture, if was plainly evident that whatever sec- rets that party held in its possesiou were not likely to be divulged before their time, The party had been aug- mented by the arrival of the senior member of the firm of Barton & Bar- ton, while the register of the Waldorf showed at that time numerous other arrivals from London, all of whom proved to be individuals of a severely judicial appearance an on extremely intimate terms with the original Wald- orf party. Of the business of the for- mer, however, or the movements of the latter, nothing definite could be learned, Despatches in cipher still flashed daily over the wires, but their r import remained a matter of the mere - est surmise to the curious world out- side. Ralph Mainwaring, on the contrary, sin ce the arrival of his London attor- neys, Upham and Blackwell, with Gra- ham, the well-known chirographical e•Tert, had seized every opportunity for rendering himself and them as con- spicuous as possible, while Isis boasts of their well -laid plans, the strong points in their case, and their 'ultimate triumph, formed his theme on all oc- casions. Mr. Whitneyfs esosttion at this time was not an enviable one, for Ralph Mainwaring, having of late be- come dimly conscious of a lack of har- mony between himself and his New York attorney, took special delight in frequently flouting his opinions and advice in the presence of the English solicitors; but that gentleman, mindful of a rapidly growieg account, wisely pocketed his pride, and continued to serve his client with the most urbane courtesy, soothing his wounded sensi- bilities with an extra fee for every snub. On the day prior to that set for the opening of the trial, among the numer- ous equipages drawn up at one of the piers, awaiting an incoming ocean - lines, was the Mainwaring carriage, containing, as usual, Ralph Mainwaring, Upham and Blackwell, and Mr Whitney, The carriage and its occupants s.:ormed the centre of attraction to a consider- able portion of thecrowd, until at- tention was suddenly diverted by the sight of a stylish turnout in the shape of an elegant trap and a pair of superb bays driven tandem, which passed the Mainwaring' carriage and took its posi- tion at' some distance nearer the pier. Seated in the trap were Harold Main- ivaring and Hugh Mainwaring, junior. Their appearance together at that par- ticular time and place excited no little wonder and Comment, especially when, the 614j:1ank having been thrown down; ' -the young men left the turnout in cared( a'policenian ,a'nd walked rap- idly tonshrds the hurrying stream of passenger, ' followed. more slowly by 11 54 44 Chapter XXVI ' MAINWARING VS.

The in- tervening weeks, crowded with pre- paration for the conning litigation, had passed, and now, on the eve of the contest, each side' having marshalled its forces, awaited the beginning of the fray, each alike confident •,,of vic- tory and each alike dreaming of the end.

Ralph Mainwaring and his party. .All was explained 'a few moments later, as that embodiment of geniality, William Mainwaring Thornton, loomed up In the crowd, his daughter upon one arm, upon the other Miss Carle- ton, and accompanied by Mrs, Hogarth and the usual retinue of attendants. "Looks like a familyreunien, by Georgel" exclaimed one of the on- lookers, as a general exchange of greetings ensued, but to a close obser- ver it was evident that between some members of the different parties were decidedly strained. Not so with Mr. Thornton, however; his first greetings were for the young men. "Well, well, Hugh, you contumacious young rascal! how are you? 1 hear you've kicked over the traces and set the governor and his sovereigns at defiance! Well, you've shown yourself a Mainwaring, that's all I have to sayl Here is a young lady, however, who is waiting to give you a piece of her mind; you'll have to settle with her," "Papal" exclaimed Edith Thornton in faint protest, her fair face suffused with blushes as she, came forward to meet her lover, while her father turn- ed towards Harold Mainwaring. "Well, my dear sir,"' he said, ex- tending his hand with the utmost cordiality, "I am glad to meet you in your own proper sphere at last; I al- ways thought you were far too good looking for a secretaryi But, joking aside, my dear boy, let me assure you that as the son of Harold Scott Main- waring, one of the most royal fellows I ever knew, 1 congratulate you and wish you success." ' Deeply touched by Mr, Thornton's kindness and his allusion' to his father the'young 'man' thanked him with con- siderable emotion. "That Is all right," the elder man responded heartily; "I was very sorry not to have metyou in London, but I heard the particulars of your story fronr" Winifred, donsIder heiva Veil,' level-headed young Woolen, and thInks,on Ifo be congratubted on 'that 'store also." • . .

Thornton glanced over his shout. der at the young people with a ,comi- cal look of perplexity. "Well, you see how it is yourself, Mainwaring: what is a fellOw to do? This is a house divided against itself, as it were, and no matter what My personal senti- ments towards you might be, I find myself forced th maintain a position of strict neutrality." 'Neutrality be dammed' you had better maintain better parental govern- ment in you own feral:13,i" "As you do in yours, for instance." "You know very well," continued, Ralph Mainwering, flushing angrily, "that if you had forbidden Edith marrying Hugh under present condi- Dons, he would have got down off his horse very quickly." "That is something 1 would never do," Mr. Thornton replied, cahnly, "for two reasons; first, I havA never governed my daughter by direct com- mands and' prohibitions'and second,. I think Just as much of Hugh Mainwar- ing without. his father's money as. with it; more, if it is to be accompanied with the eonditions which you impos- ed." "Then am 1 to understand," de- manded the other, angrily, that you itnertr"ci to go ageing inc in this mat-. "My dear Mainwaring," said Mr. Thornton, Much as he would address a petulant child; "this is all the merest nonsense. 1 ant not going against you, I Or 1 'ihtv e nu part in this contest; my position is necessarily neutral; but if you want tray opinion of the whole Matter, I will tett volt frankly that I think, ftsr once In your life, you have bitten otl ((Mk) than you ,an ssvallow, and von will End! it so before long.° "Perhaps It might Ise lust as well to .reserve yoer opinion till It Is csilled ihr," the 6thy answered, shortly.

President Wilson declared war, and The Toronto Daily Star gave to its readers a series of articles on the confidential work of the man who - had most influenced him. The American forces began to make themselves felt, and The Toronto Daily Star pre- sented the life -story of their great leader. The Toronto Daily Star Alone in rit, ION has Published their Histories This policy will be continued. The Toronto Daily Star will endeavor to lift, for its readers, the curtain of diplomacy and in- trigue and give them a glimpse at the great personalities on the world's stage. For this purpose alone—it has twenty - four world - famous correspondents at the Peace Conference—They will keep Star readers fully informed upon every development. The Toronto Daily Star has been famous for its feature stories. It published Harry Lluder's great book as a serial. Sir Frederick Smith, the AttorneY-General of England, • visited Canada, and The Star gave its readers his book of personal im- pression. At the first of this year The Star began the publication of two __outstanding Cinadian stories of the war. The first, "My Three Years in a German Prison," by Hon. Dr. Henri S. Beland, M.P., former Postmaster -General of Canada, is in some respects Can- ada's most notable contribution to the literature of -the war. The second, "From Mons to the Rhine with the Canadian Army," is a diary by Lieut. -Col. John A. Cooper, a distinguished Canadian journalist, describing the last and perhaps most spectacular phase of -Canada's part in the Great War. Further important features, the best available, will be announced from time to time. The main thing is you will want to read them. Don't take chances of missing the big stories.
