6 THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, CObBORNE, ONT. THURSDAY, NOV. T4, 1935 Th< Green Ghost by Stuart Martin SYNOPSIS by Detective "One Eve" U mulatto, who has never lost a Maud Barron and Hughes 1 Maud asks Dr. Foster t sonal physician. She als Monteith as a companion. "But I never admitted that anyone took Barron's life except himself." "Let us continue the assumptions. If these are correct it follows that this thing, this murderer, is here. It is our duty to catch this murderer. "Why all this vehemence, Foster? It isn't like you." "Merely my great desire to convince you of my point of view, Hughes. But it is all still very puzzling." "It is." "And filled with links that don't fit." "Exactly." "And with facts that are disputed." There was a note of despair in his tone. "I see one thing that can't be got over, even if your precious ghost did kill Barron." "What is that?" "You can't arrest a ghost!" "Alas, that is true." "And there is another thing." "Yes?" The Man Who Knows Whether the Remedy You are taking for Headaches, Neuralgia or Rheumatism Pains is SAFE is Your Doctor. Ask Him Don't Entrust Your Own or Your Family's Weil-Being to Unknown Preparations BEFORE you take any preparation 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 advised against by physicians as being bad for the stomach; or, often, for the heart. And the discovery of "Aspirin" largely changed medical Countless thousands of people who have taken "Aspirin" year in and out without ill effect, have proved that the medical findings about its safety 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. "Aspirin" Tablets are made in Canada. "Aspirin" is the registered trade-mark of the Bayer Company, Demand and Get "ASPIRIN" "Even if the ghost was the outcome of a papaloy's machinations, you are working at the wrong end. The blackamoor is better employed in Jamaica among the priests." "I have cabled to One-Eye telling him the apparition has been seen "The devil you have! And who's going to stand the expense if he wants to come over and gets the permis- "That can be arranged later. But he may not come." "I should jolly well hope not. Well, you have entertained me greatly and there is only one flaw in all you have said." "What is that?" "The assumption that Barron did not kill himself." He rose to his feet and stretched his arms as if he were tired. "Sorry you have mislaid your print, but it wasn't of much use after all, you know," he remarked grinning. "You see, I never believed that print." He was on the point of going out when Foster gave an exclamation. "Oh, never mind about the print. It may turn up. But I would like to propose something. I have told you all I know, and as a further proof that you are not bored--I would take it as a mark of your interest als perhaps you would spare the time to walk down to the woods. I could there show you exactly the spot where this thing appeared last night. We may find something, too." "What do you think we may find?" "Footmarks, perhaps." "Good old detective! No, I don't think I can spare the time to waste on such an errand." "But you are open to be convinced of my theories, aren't you?" "Do you think you ci "How can I if you will not give the opportunity? Prove your terest in this business, if not for your own sake, then for the sake of the girl you expect to marry!" It was a thrust that turned the "All right, I'll come. Bless you, it's getting more and more melodramatic." "It always does before a crisis, you know," said Foster, as he made a gesture towards the door. The first thing that the doctor did when they went downstairs was to hurry round to the back and unleash the big Alsatian. He brought him round on the lead, baying like fury and leaping with the joy in hope of "What the devil have you brought that animal for?" demanded Hughes, glaring. "We may trail the ghost, you know," smiled Foster. They walked round to the front of the house. Foster stopped suddenly and handed the leash to Hughes. "I've just forgotten something. Pray let me run up to my room. I won't keep you a minute." He gave Hughes no chance of replying, but dashed into the front entrance, and ran along to the housekeeper's room. Luckily she was in. working at her accounts. "Oh, excuse me, but have you a master key to the bedrooms?" asked the doctor. "Miss Barron told mi you had. and I need it just for i The housekeeper smiled and hand ed the key over. "Miss Barron told me," she said. Foster bounded from the room anc ran up the staircase, three steps at a time. He went straight to Hughes's room and turned the master key, Cupid in Hollywood Rise and Fall of Romance Thermometer Shown In Summary Hollywood. -- Movieland's romantic thermometer; Jack Oakie and Vanita Vardoh, up up 10 degrees.

I am most impressed, perhaps, by their great adaptability. Nothing seems to limit them." ' But with all that this girl is an enigma, he declares. "Does she fee! deeply? Are her emotions genuine and profound? Is she merely out for a good time? Does she like a man for himself or because of his portion? I declare, I don't know."

CHAPTER X THE ALSATIAN FINDS I SOMETHING Dr. Foster knew that he was taking a chance, besides a great liberty, in entering Hughes's bedroom, but the circumstances seemed to him to justify the extreme measure. There was not much time at his sposal, but his keen eyes swept the apartment in a long circular scrutiny. The room was in order. Not a garment was lyfng about. A pair of bed-om slippers were by the gas fire, few pipes were in a rack by the fireplace, two hats and an overcoat hung from hcoks behind the door. (To Be Continued.)

From See your N.E. dealer today NAGGING MAKES FOR UNHAPPINESS Nagging is a menace to the peace of the home. No two persons can live happily together when they are tinually nagging at each other. The following extract, which I quote from a letter received from a young husband, shows quite clearly the danger to which nagging exposes the home. "My wife and I began married life eight years ago very happily and deeply in love with each other, but now I think we are coming to the parting of the ways. She has developed the nagging habit, and although I try to restrain myself, the sharpness of her tongue is such that I can hardly forbear retort. It is a constant bickering morning and night. We have three lovely little children and for their sakes I would not like to break up the home. But this thing is getting on my nerves." Whatever you do, don't break up your home. If your wife and you were really "deeply in love with each other" when you started, then there is surely hope. Love, such as claim existed between you, is not easily extinguished. It takes longer than eight years to kill such love a rule and, in your case, it probably still exists. Assuming that to be if you break up your home you will be most unhappy. Besides, the sence of three young children might create serious complications. But why let such a small thing nagging break up your home? There must be some cause for your wife's irritability. I hardly think from your letter that is anything more serious than irritability, although that is bad enough and, if continued, may have very serious consequences. I you tried to find out the cause? I know just how difficult the cumstances must be for you. How those sharp words spoken in an ir. ritable moment, can sting and cut! But think how your retort must aggravate your already high strung and irritable wife. I believe it is still true that "A soft answer turneth away wrath". Human kindness and sympathy have a wonderfully soothing effect on irritable souls. I would like you to try and see your wife's position as well as your own. Think! She is tied indoors all day with three little children. Sup. posing after a trying day and probably a restless night she is a bit ir. ritable in the morning, and you leave her with a sharp retort ringing in her ears, what happens? Just this, she spends the day brooding over it and, by night time, it has become a mental festering sore. Even a pin prick, if dwelt upon for long enough, will become a big thing mentally. On the other hand, you go out to business. You mingle with other people. You have variety, and you can forget what happened in the morning. It is not so easy as all that for your wife. She has the home and the children all day--quite a trying There is probably nothing more wrong than that your wife's nerves are on edge. Try to be sympathetic. Treat her as kindly as you can. Overcome the temptation to retort sharply. Get her some help with her housework, or help her a little bit more yourself. Get someone to look after the children occasionally and take her out for an evening. Try to renew the palship of courting days. Give her a change now and again from the drudgery of nursing and housework, and I am sure the matter will right itself in a surprisingly NOTE: The writer of this column is a trained psychologist and an au-thor of several works.

ROUGH HANDS FROM* i HOT WATER? w Salada Orange Pekoe Blend will prove a sheer delight to lovers of fine tea. 'SALADA TEA Good Standby for School Luncheons Referring to Soup and Suggesting Varieties of Toast To Accompany it Soup is a good standby for school luncheons. Make it sometimes with meat stock and sometimes with milk. Always put lots of vegetables in it. The accompaniment for the soup adds much to the interest of the meal. Croutons, chips and toast sticks are easy to make and use stale bread to splendid advantage. To make bread chips, cut: stale rolls in very thin slices, crosswise of the roll. The slices ■shouldn'1; be more than an eighth of an inch thick. Spread on a shallow pan and put in a slow oven until crisp and brown throughout. FINE GRAINED BREAD Cut bread as thin as a wafer and toast until crisp and brown in a slow oven. This kind of wafer -- like dry toast--is exceptionally good with To make croutons some cooks dip the neat cubes of bread in melted butter and then brown them in a moderate oven. Others drop the cubes into deep hot fat and fry them a golden brown in sixty seconds. A fine, close grained texture in bread is important for croutons and it must be stale but not too dry. Cut in slices about one-half inch thick, remove crusts and cut each slice into cubes with a very sharp knife. The sharp knife means much, too, because the cubes must be smooth and clean cut. Dry them until they are crisp through. After this they may be toasted or friend in deep fat. Croutons go right into the soup and form a part of it. Consequents they are eaten with soup from the soup pla:e and never with the fingers. SERVING CROUTONS There are two attractive ways to serve croutons. One way is to pass them to each person for him t0 help himself, or, if the soup is served by man.of-the-house at the table he drops one or two teaspoons of croutons Into each plate ao ho serves it. Toast sticks are what, their name implies, sticks of toast. The bread is cut in strips about % inch thick and % inch wide and 3 inches long. It is then toasted in a hot oven and served, unbuttered, like crackers. Each person helps himself and butters his stick or not as he prefers. Toast Eleanor Graham in the New York Times. Here's to October--that rollicking elf, Capering madly--in love with himself. Shaking the bells on his harlequin Gathering iuts for the squirrels to loot; Veiling the hills with a violet haze, Stealing an hour from the glorious Staring above till the crystalline Mirrors and catches the blue of his eye; Touching the leaves with the gold and the red Left where the rainbow dissolved overhead. Hey for October -- the mischievous elf Who loves the bright world and his gay, laughing self! Issue No. 45 -- '35 A Pleasant-Tasting YEAST Everybody nowadays knows that Yeast is good for them . . . that it aids digestion, makes a sluggish intestinal tract active and clears up the stagnating impurities that are apt to linger in the blood, clog the skin and cause pimples, boils, sallowness, poor colour and other complexion troubles.

Try it--you'll like it. 21 Dock For Super-Liners While shipping experts still argue the economic value of huge liner* like the Normandie and the Queen Mary, British shipbuilders expect that even larger vessels may be built in the near future, and a dry-dock to accommodate a vessel of 100,000 gross tons has been completed in Southampton. E. J. Messenden, docks and marine manager of the English Southern Railway Company, said recently that his compar.., in the past six years has spent $40,000,000 on improvements and new docking facilities in the port of Southampton, and that the piers and drydock recently completed were designed with a view to accommodating giant liners. The cay dock, which is to handle the Queen Mary, can easily accommodate a 100,000-ton ship, nearly a quarter again as large as the new Cunarder. Except in times of depression, Mr. Messenden said, British shipping men incline to the belief that the fast super-liner eventually will supersede the smaller and slower vessel in the larger part of transatlantic passenger service.
