Find Out From Your Doctor if the "Pain" Remedy You Take Is Safe, Don't Entrust Your Own or Your Family's Well - Being to Unknown Preparations BEl� ORE you take any prepara- f a tion you don't know all about, for the relief of headaches; or the pains of rheumatism, neuritis or neuralgia, ask your doctor what he thinks about it — in comparison With "Aspirin." We say this because, before the discovery of "Aspirin," most so- called `pain" remedies were ad- vised against by physicians as being bad for the stomach; or, often, for the heart. And the discovery of "Aspirin" largely changed medical practice. Countless thousands of people who have taken "Aspirin" year in and out without ill effect, have proved that the medical findings about its safely were correct. Remember this: `Aspirin" is rated among the fastest methods yet discovered for the relief of headaches and all common pains ... and safe for the average person to take regularly. Lettice Manton, her mother, gran and Ilephen Garton, of the int then solving of the all keenly interested Mrs. Manton was sorry the moment she had uttered the innocent remark. An ominous nodding of a high -crown- ed hat hearalded a long exposition of the rights and duties of the County Magistrate. Luckily, -before she could get into her stride, the door of the little drawing -room opened, and Lettice came in. Old Mrs. Manton,'. sitting in. her usual chair by the fire, her writing materials on her lap, her loudspeaker on the little table beside her, ready to be switched on when the time cane for the morning ser- vice, was unashamedly dozing. It was a convenient privilege of age. Her daughter, for once, admitted to her- self that old age had its compen- sations as well as its drawbacks. "Good horning, Mrs. Hargreaves." Lettice shook hands formally with the august J.P. She looked fresh and charming in a sports coat, short beige pleated skirt, grey silk stock- ings, and heavy gold shoes. "You'll be going over to Mill Dean to help try this case -against Toni Saxby? I'm afraid I shall have to start now. It begins at half -past ten, I believe. It's half -past nine now, and I'm going to walk—and it's quite three miles from here." 'Laura Wheelers acts a.

I am sorry if I disturbed you. But I have got to go over to Mill Dean this morning to sit on rather an un- pleasant case. I had to see your daughter-in-law about fixing up the next meeting of the Club, and I seized the chance to stop here on my way. I suppose you've heard about poor little Mollie Crowther ?" Old Mrs. Manton gave a look of surprise. Her daughter-in-law tried to make a sign to her visitor to de- sist. But her mother-in-law's in- terest was aroused. "I'm sorry, Mrs. Hargraves," broke in Lettice hastily, in an at- tempt to cause a diversion. "But I really must be moving off. I think perhaps I'd better walk. It'll be good exercise. And if I don't start now I'll never be in. time." The magistrate again .anade a gracious offer of a seat in her car. Lettice again accepted, though not without some inward misgivings. But, as she reflected, the run to Mill Dean would be a very short one in Mrs. Brackley-Hargreaves' powerful car, and she was anxious to hear in- to what further indiscretions her visitor night be tempted. Her grandmother was now fully awake, and she was quite perspicaci- ous enough to detect the conspiracy to hide something from her, "Mollie Crowther? Why what can have happened to Mollie Crowther? I saw her only yesterday in the vil- lage street—when I was out in my chair. Since you were last here you did not know -wed bought an electric motor invalid chair, and that I get about quite a lot—by myself." Iter daughter-in-law knew that there was no use in trying any fur- ther to keep the news of the -tragedy from her mother-in-law's ears. And she preferred to let her hear what there was to be heard from her own lips, rather than from those of her visitor, who would certainly make the most of it, in order to emphasise as much as possible the importance of her own position with regard to it. "We didn't like to tell you, mother," she said. "You knew -- we all knew Mollie --and she , was a special favourite of yours. And you've had too many shocks lately. And we wanted to break the news as gently as possible. But now it has come out I'd better tell you all we know." Lettice knew quite well where their visitor was going. Her mother had read out at breakfast the post- card in which Mrs. Brackley-Har greaves had stated her intention of looking in on Mrs. Manton at Shal- low on the way from her home at North Mailing to the little court at Mill. Dean. "I've got niy car this morning," said the magistrate. "If you 'like, I can give you a lift." She turned to the girl's mother. "Though I doubt if this is the sort of case it's very nice for you to hear." Old Mrs. Manton began to show signs of life, and the visitor greeted her. The old lady was not fond of the J,P., though she was too polite not to try to, conceal her dislike. Old Mrs. Manton had never voic- ed the opinion in the presence of the visitor, but she considered that there was something almost indecent in the idea of a woman J.P.—a female magistrate.

"Insects," say the misan- thropes, "Man," said Barton Eddy, naturalist, at a recent meeting of the Executives' Club at the Sherman hotel in Chicago. With all the advantages inseets have over man, physiologically speak- ing, they will never be able to gain supremacy upon this earth, he as- sured those who have nightmares of insect hordes .winning in the titanic struggle some see going on between man and insects for .the possession of the earth: Among the advantages insects have .over man, Mr. Eddy mentioned were "no lungs with which to get T.B., no arteries to harden, no ap- pendix to rupture, no teeth to decay. They can digest more rapidly than man, some of them digesting four tinges their own weight in a single day. - Their smelling organs are keener than a setter's and their ner- vous system is less capable of being out of order." "Insects have an outside skeleton, which acts as a coat of mail to pro- tect the vital organs," he said. "Man has most of his organs unprotected. They have a tremendous power lo multiply. Some of -them lay but one egg, from which sixty-five result. "The common plant louse, if it were allowed to live and breed throughout a single season, and if its young were to do the salve, would have at the close of the season, if all were to survive, over 560 quad- rillion descendants. Prof. Glen Her- rick of Cornell university claims that the combined weight of these plant lice would be greater than the combined weight of all the people upon the earth." Among the disadvantages of the insects which give elan supremacy is the fact that the outside skeleton, or coat of ;nail, is dead and incap- able of expansion as the creature grows. While shedding its skeleton it is absolutely at the mercy of its foes. While their digestion is bet- ter than slam's, insects are special- ists and if their diet specially is not available they starve. Man also can invent machines which excel the smelling organs of the insects, and has a more sensi- tive if less stable nervous system, Besides insects are cold-blooded, and become unvoluntarily inactive at temperatures of forty degrees Fah- renheit or less, and are at the mercy of their enemies. There is also marked dissention within the ranks of the insects. They are their own worst enemies. By presenting a united front against the insects mean will retain his su- prenlacy.—The Chicago Daily News. To Mrs. Manton's surprise, Lettiee interrupted again. "Yes, granny; it's rather nasty — but not so bad as it might have been. Mollie had an accident last night; she got rather hurt on the road to the Post Office by a lorry. The driver didn't see her in time, and his mud- guard cau;�.it her in the ribs." (To Be Continued.)

LONDON, Ont. — Because the breadth of eyebrows will not reveal what mental wheels are turning be- hind them, Dr. D. 5. Wilson, psycho- logist on the staff of the University of Western Ontario recently offered business mien a scientific substitute for their old fashioned eyebrows, to test the worth of their prospective employes.

COOL SWEET CIGARETTES 104 Publicity "Out" NICE,—One of the eases when it does not pay 'to advertise is when publicity concerns a reigning mon- arch. Hotel keepers, restaurant owners, and casino managements on the Riveria are having this fact brought home to them by the authorities. Two Kings are regular patrons of the Riveria—King Gustav of Sweden and King Christian of Denmark. Other royalties pay frequent visits to the Cote d'Azur also. Their pres. ence swells the revenue of the var- ious resorts by millions of francs. Recently it was made known that King Gustav was annoyed by the fact that his presence at a private dinnerwas advertised in advance. The King asked his host to change the venue of the entertainment. Ile is said to have threatened to leave the Riveria if this :ort of publicity is resorted to again. There will be considerable restric- tion • s ace of presence the 1 Oladvertising 1 1 Royalty after the event, such an- nouncements as "King — dined at the --- Restaurant" being frowned on. This will be a blow, but a fan bigger blow would be the departure of Loyalty.
