Mrs. George Armstrong, relict of George Armstrong, of the village of Brunswick, had p her year of mourning, and there were gossips In the village mean enough to say that she was in the market again, Of course, they did her injustice. No widow is ever in the market. If itso happens thst women contract a se cond marriage it is a matter of sur prise to them. They didn't plan to, and how they came to do it is & mat ter to puzzle them. It was true that the widow Arm- strong was looked upon with favor by several men. There was the iano tuner that came down from deve land every two or three months on his rounds of the villages. She had no piano, but lw called and discussed grand opera with her. He had long hair and wild eyes and dandruff on his coat collar, and he had thrown out hints that his artistic soul longed for a mate. Then there was the sewing machine man. He had short hair, tame eyes and no dandruff, but he had bis good points. He had committed pages- and rages of Shakespeare to memory, and oly the way he could spout them and repair a sewing machine was something to make a widow sit up and thing And then there were the village butcher, the lightning-rod man, the druggist over at Liverpool, and the man who came twice a year to well the farmers fertilizers and labor-sav- ing machinery. not being on the market, and for a woman who did not in the least encourage the flattery of men, the widow ' Armstrong was well provided for. The last, but not least, of her admirers was the village carpenter. His name was Phillips, and he was a bachilor. He was a coy man and a shy man. Of (course, he couldnt always run away when he saw a wo- man coming but 'he talked as little as he could and got away as soon as he could. He hadn't married simply because he was shy. It was when the widow Armetrong laid off her weeds that a great event happened in the life of Mr. Phillips. He found himself thinking of her--not thinking whether she wanted a sum- mer kitohen built on to her house, or But what could There he was, born shy and coy, and the widow might marry twenty times over be- fore he would dare to tell her of his love. He did brace himself to walk by her house, and to bow to her, and to sit in the pew behind her at church, but at the same time he realized that widows are not won that way. He even wenl so far as to put a hinge on her gate and make her a press board, gratis, but was that courting and telling her that he could not live without her ? And all the while Mr. Phillips was loving and hoping and despairing, he was hearing from the gossips how this or that man was laying siege to the widow's heart. He just groaned as he listened: to the talk. Then the hour came to him when it must be either suicide or a bright idea. The bright idea came just as he was se- lecting a rope and a limb. The widow Armstrong had had a pleasant day of it. The butcher, the piano tuner and the lightning-rod man had all called the same afternoon and laid their hearts at her feet. She hadn't refused and trampled om them oh, no! She bad simply said that she felt honored, and if in the far-dis- tant future--vyears and years in the fu ture-she should desire to marry again-- 8 They had to be content with this. No wise widow ever turns a man down so completely as to leave him like a porous plaster. the poor man do? without a "hope to cling to. Mrs Armstrong went to bed happy and foarless, but at midnight she was awakened by sounds that made her wit up in bed and gasp for breath. Her bedroom window looked out om the gurden, and the sash was raised. "Widow Armstrong," said a voice . that was certainly not human, "I am here to warn you" She looked out. Under the apple tree stood a ghogt. It was nome of the vapory ghosts that weave forward and backward over the ground, but a sohd- looking chap in white who etood firm- ly on his feet. "Widow," continued the voice, ""be- ware of the piano tuner! He is doomed to go mad. Beware of the butcher ! He will slay you as you sleep if you marry him ! Beware of the lightning-rod man! He will get your Jast dollar and then abandon you! Beware !| beware ! beware !" And then Mr. Ghost retreated noise lessly and gave the frightened widow a chance to get her breath. All the rest of the night she lay with her head covered up and expecting the summons any moment, a she was a happy woman when the roosters began crowmyg for daylight.

The ghost comes across the garden with noiseless feet, Cats take one brief glance and fly for their lives. "Widow, I am here to warn you again ! Do not marry the sewing ma chine, man ! 44 "Dd not man !" "Do" not marry the fertilizer man ! The widow slipped softly out of bed, There stood the 'ghost under the apple tree. He had the same peach stone in his mouth ! She reached for the old gun, and as the ghost turned to be swallowed up in the night, she fired. There was a yell and a fall, The ghost had been salted. Boote and legs kicked the air--the sheet was thrown off, and the next minute the widow was outdoors and bending over a man and saying : "Why--why--it's Mr. Phillips! Why --why--what on earth I" "I--1 didn't want you to marry any- body but me !" he exclaimed as he struggled to his knees. "But I didn't know you cared for me !"

Not infrequent- ly thickening or thinning of the heart muscles and Bright's disease of the kidneys are associated with this dis ease. According 1o the best observers it is thought that arterio-scldrosis is due to a soluble poison circulating in the blood. This poison may be elaborated within the system or introduced from without in the food and drink. lhe contributing causes are overeating, ex- cessive drinking of aleokol, and auto- infection from too much meat or eggs Further, the living of a strenuous life with mental overstrain is one of the principal causes. es Some of the early symptoms are dys pepsia, headache, difficulty of breath ing, nervous irritability, sometimes pain over the heart or in the left arm, and throbbing oi the arteries in the neck or in the sides of the forehead The puls becomes full and hard, and high blood pressure prevails.

Bottle FREE Read the Reasons for this Offer, so Vitally Important to Psychine is the greatest vitality builder of the age. For thirty years Psychine has been curing almost every disease that isdue to run-down vitality. Hundreds of thousands have used Psychine with wonderful beneficial re- * sults. We have received thousands of un- solicited testimonials from people whom Psychine has cured, of in many cases, hopéless ailments. There are still thousands of people suffering from disease, however, whom Psychine can benefit. There ade still thousands who are trying to cure themselves by wrong methods, who are using dangerous and tartful medicines, There are still thousands who are gradually losing their vitality--from resisting power to disease is slowly but surely slipping away. ) There are still those who soon will hear the dread "call in the night" if they do not take prompt action. To these we have the above message, wiz: "Let us buy a 50cent bottle of Psy- chine from your druggist and give it to you, free, to prove its great value." That 60cent bottle of Psychine will tell" you more powerfully than mere wards ean how tremendously beneficial Psychine 'will be for you. It will give you an unmistakable in- dication of its wonderful power to re- mew the bodily vitality, to strengthen the phagocytes (the white corpuscles), the policemen or scavengers of the body. s & The Surgical Department of the Japanese Army, in the Japo-Russian war, first drew the attention of the scientific world to the function of the white corpuscles of the blood of phag- ocytes. Foreign medical men were astounded to see Japanese soldiers with wounds that had not been cleansed or dressed for days, that were apparently dirty, {ll-kept, and altogether unsanitary. Yet these dirty wounds healed mar- wellously; no army the world had ever known had such & wonderful record L208 the Sick: forthe recovery of their wounded as the Japanese army. And all because the Japanese knew how 40 let the white corpuscies cure, There are two kinds of corpuscles in your blood, you know, red and white. : The red carry nutrition, the white are the policemen or scavengers of the body. Whenever a disease germ enters the body, these white corpuscies attack and literally eat it. A wound that attracts disease germs from the air is cleansed and healed by billions of phagocytes, or white cor puscles, devouring these unwelcome disease germs. Any disease can be cured by these white corpuscles if they be in sufficient number or strong enough to attack and devour the germs that cause the dis ease, It they are not in sufficient numbers or strength, then the disease germs eat them and disease claims the body That's the cause of every disease to which humanity is heir. Forcenturies the cure of disease has been by means of herbs--mature's reme- dles. It 1s only within recent times that we have come to know how these herbs act. Now scientists tell us they increase the strength and numbers of the white corpuscles or phagocytes. In. Psychine we have some of the most healing and beneficial herbs in the world, herbs that increase and strengthen the white corpuscles From Arabia comes one herb, from South America another, China and Japan produce a third, while the jungle of India yields a fourth. ~ AT! these herbs are recognized by the medical profession as being ths most beneficial to health that they know. That's why Psychine, in the third of a century it has been made, has cured hundreds of thousands of people who suffered from the following diseases: The ff 1a Grippe Bronchial Conghs Bronchitis Weak lungs Hemorrbages Weak Voice Hore Throad Spring Weakness Anactuia Karly Decline Female Weakness Catarrhal A Indigestion Catarrh of Stomach Poer Appetite Night Sweats Chills and Fevers Olatinate Coughs Sheepiesgness and Laryngitis NO ns or Pleuriny Pactmaonia. and LaGrippe.
