She tried tablets. She tried pis. Ail without avail. Oniy Kruschen could heip ber. "I used to get very bad head- aches." she writes. "No tablets or pilis of any kind could relieve thern. One morning, casualiy, I tried Kruschen Salis in a gzlass of bot water. 1 continued taking it. but I have flot had one of those awful hleadaches since. Kruschen suits me better than anything else. 1 find it verv good."-(Mrs.) L.A.W. Headaches can nearly always be traced to siugzgishness of the kid- neys, liver and 'intestines.* and ta the unsuspected retention in the system of stagnating waste mater- il which poisons the blood.

"Then you wo't oo?" said Betty vexediy. "No, Betty, I couidn't. 1 wouldn't feel at home in a nizht club." "I didn't know yoiy were strait- laced." "Is that strait-laced? I thought it was onlv a kind of refinement. Just plain decency.", "'Wei. I'm sure most young people do those things today. Ail except fanatical people. Reiigious cranks, you know." "I Ruess a good many. do_" said Mari orie, "but 1 don't like stuch things. I can't help it." "Oh. heavens! You sound i ust for ail the world like Ted 1" said Betty almost anzrily.

"I'm sorry- Betty. but I couldn't belp it.> I coudn't go ta, places like that I i ust wouldn't beiong. 1 woudn't feel it was the right tbing." Betty suiked almost ail the way borne. with starmy eyes averted, lookinz out the other side of the taxi.

But. Mariorie lay wakeful through severai bours. and in ber he.aut began to pray for ber sister. the first pay- er she had ever made for anybody else. How she would like to talk it over with Gideon Reaver.

THE BLUE JAT Being exposed on ail sides ta dnying There's a blue jay i the cedars, At the bottomn of our lot; Dressed in regal hues respiendent, Here and there a blacklah spot. Sa majestic, proud, imperiaus, Stately bird of plumage Pare; Few, if any, of our wild birds With your deckings can com- pare. But your color and your twitt'rings Bath belle your cruel heart; For your raucous, rasping screech- ings, Give the other birds a start. They ail know you steal and plun- der, Rab their nests and kill with joy, And witbout the slightest reason Humn, ravage and destroy. E'en the abrike may have ekcuses, For he kilis that he may eat; But you kill, wee, harmless bird- lings, And you leave themn at your feet. You remind one of some far off Feathered, savage potentate; Having not an ounce of pity, Glorying i your victims' fate. Yet we love you for your plumage, For your poise, your courage,. too; Few wild birds are so majestic, Noble bird i royal blue. -Ralph Gordon. 628 Crawford St., Toronto.

She deserves unstited praise, however, for her concentration and ability ta "stick ta it."1 Her performance was very enjoyable and.earned her a weil-merited 75 marks.

Piano - 16 Years and Under "The Two Larks", set for play- ers of 16 years and under, proved ta be a very stiff test. Agai there were continued lapses of memnory, and nat anc student played the piece without hesitation. Prob- ably the best performance was given by Mamaon Foley, but ber inability ta grasp correct rhythm in places, and ber weak notation prevented ber fram assuming ber rightful position on the merit list. As elsewhere stated, this girl is decidedly outstandig, and with careful application and a contin- ued study with ber present un- doubtedly efficient teacher, she will develop and succeed. The other pianlat in this group was Anna Thompsan of Blackstock who seemed toa nervous ta do berseif justice. She exbibited, however, gaod technique and seemed ta have gond musical jdment.
