A WELL-KNOWN INSTITUTION.
Probably no Institution In America
Is more widely known than Doctor
Pierce's Invalids' Hotel In Buffalo,
N. Y. Although established many years
ago It Is today a modern sanitarium,
having all the latest facilities for the
correct diagnosis of diseases and their
successful treatment through medicine
or surgery. j
It was Dr. Pierce, Us founder,
who over CO years ago gave to the
world that wonderful stomach tonic
and blood purifier, "Golden Medical
Discovery," and that famous non
alcoholic medicine for women, "Fa
vorite Prescription."
In his early professional career, Dr.
Pierce realized that every family, but
especially those who live remote from
a physician, should lmvo at hand an
Instructive book that would teach them
something about First Aid, Physi
ology, Anatomy, Hygiene; how to rec
ognize different diseases, how to care
for the sick, what to do In case of ac
cident or sudden sickness etc., so he
published that great book, tho'"MedIcal
Adviser," nn up-to-dato edition of
which can be procured by sending CO
cents to Doctor Pierce's Invalids'
Hotel in Buffalo, N. Y.
Later, Dr. Pierce added another link
to his chain of good works by estab
lishing n bureau of correspondence to
which any one can write for medical
advice, without any expense whatever,
and If necessary, medicines especially
prepared In Doctor Pierce's Laboratory
will be sent 'by parcel post or express
for use at home, at a reasonable cost.
Thus those who have symptoms of dis
ease need not suffer mental agony fear
ing that they have some serious ail
ment, but can have a diagnosis made
free by n physician of high profes
sional standing. Write to Dr. Pierce
relating your symptoms If you need
medical ndvice for any chronic disease.
All letters regarded as confidential.

ENTIRELY UNFITTED FOR IT
Weighty Reasons Why Mr. J. Fuller
Gloom Declined Nomination for
the Legislature.
"No!" a trifle grimly said J. Fuller
Glom, in reply to the tender of the
committee. "I am not now, have never
been, and never shall be, a candidate
for the legislature. At the age of twen-ty-flvo
years palnfol experience
caused mo to abandon the Idea that
the world owed me a living, at thirty
I lost my strut, at thirty-five I ceased
to think I was smarter than my fellow
men, at forty I gave up expecting
something for nothing, nt forty-five I
desisted from talking when I had noth
ing to say, and nt fifty-five I became
convinced that honesty was the best
policy. I have never been a liar. My
abdomen does not protrude. I have
always been able to make n living and
nt the same time hold the respect of
tjiosc who knew me. On these ac
counts and others I might name, I
decline without thanks the Invitation
to accept the nomination. Good af

The
htfugee
By Katharine Egglestoa Robert!
(Copyright. 1119, Western Nswspapsr Union)
Mathilda van Straclen tucked the
blanket about her three sleeping chil
dren and, for a moment, regarded the
touseled llttlo heads. JIaybo If the
bedclothes had been clean, she" would
have noticed how dirty the children's
faces were and washed them. But she
only pulled the soiled blanket up to
the small, grimy chins and loft dirt,
the harmotilzer of .all things, undis
turbed. Across the room was another"
cot, Us coverings heaped in the midst
of It as they had been left la the
morning. She started toward It,
stopped halfway, then pushing some
newspapers from n chnlr, sat down
und dully regarded her husband. Ho
was writing at a small table, the top
of which -was clear save for a pile of
neatly written pages. The flickering
light from the lamp on tho cluttered
dinner table near him emphasized the
sharpness of his ascetic features and
deepened the shndows under his eyes.
Mathilda's gaze followed the move
ment of the pen In ills long slender
fingers. '
"I don't see why you go on with
thnt writing, Andre. You'll never get
anywhere with It now. The war
spoiled every chance nnybody had at
everything."
P"No, not everything." Then as he
loolced up the light In his face cloud
ed. "It spoiled just about everything,
though," he admitted. "Mathilda,
can't you clean things up a little
around here? Somehow It wouldn't
seem so crowded If everything weren't
so strewn about, and dirty."
Mathilda pushed her hair out of her
eyes. "I s'poso I could, but "why
bother? Cook, eat, sleep In one room
anyway. It just gets .mussed up again.
We used to be someone when you
were lecturing in the college. Now
the college Is gone, the town Is gone,
you're just a refugee like u lot of
other Belgluns, only you don't know
how to dig so well. We used to have
a nice house, 'now we have a shack,
What's the use of trying to do any
thing, anyway? I don't enre." Her

voice dragged through the sentences
as she dragged through each day, in
differently, without any particular
feeling. '
"But It's our own shack at least
we aren't living In a regular refugee's
home. And as soon as the town
builds up, It will need n school and
maybe I can get the work I know how
to do. Of course, there's Verbeek next
door. He used to teach, too, but the
people hero know me better than thoy
fo him." He paused.
"Dh-huh." .His wife shook out the
bedclothes and crawled under them.
Andre turned hack to his writing
but the clear thoughts would not
come. They wen; stained by the touch

of his surroundings. He put the pa
pers In a flat box In the drawer of his
table and sat looking Into spneo.
No, he didn't Imagine, ho could ever
do anything with his hook. That
wasn't why he worked on It each eve
ning. It wns only because there was
cons)hitlon In filling the clean white
pagv with thoughts he could no long

could he ever have told them and now

way and answer an uncomprehending
"iili-huh" that stabbed him to si
lence. What had hnpp;ncd to her?
With their money, not only her self
respect but her whole self had gone.
Why couldn't sho keep their little
house tidy? Why wouldn't she keep
his children cleun? Leonlo was eight
and the twins sir. They were old
enough to know how to behave to
people. Why wouldn't she tench
them? Poor little youngsters hud

Ho roso and went to tho window.
Thero wns a light In 'Vcrbcok's cot
tnge. Suddenly his mind pictured the
Interior. His home should be like
thut They had exactly tho some
things but their dishes shone on the
cupboard shelves, their beds were al
ways made when he called, and the
children had excellent manners. They
were well washed, too. They looked
healthier and happier than his little
ones. Was the difference his fault?
Surely not he and Verbeek were In
the same positions Uiey did tho
same things. But Madame Verbeek
did not say "why bother." It was
true she worked all duy long to keep
things going and muke ends meet.
She did It because she had not lost
her pride and It was the work that
kept her from losing herself. Mathil
da but he must not think that way.
Ho began to prepare for bed.
Though the lamp wns burning low, he
could Btlll see his wife as she lay
asleep. Sho had been pretty once, but
now somehow her faco had changed,
the skin wasVsallow, the expression
different thnt was It the expression.
She had not taken down her hair;
wisps of It made a ragged fringe about
her forehead and neck. Hnlrplns
stuck out at grotesque nngles. Ho
wished sho would brush It as she used
to do. The bed he turned out the
lamp and finished undressing In tho
dark and took his place beside her. It
was easier so.
It was toword dusk one evening
nfter he had come home from work
that I.eonle answered n rnp at tho
door. "Yes, he's here,1' she said, hold
ing the door half shut.
"Who Is it? Ask them In," com
manded Andre, and hurried across the
room.
He gave the priest his chair. Ma
thilda removed some dishes from the
other one, wiped It with her apron,
nnd gave It to Monsieur Itnnicau. The
third man sat gingerly upon the edge
of the bed. "We've come to ask you
to ask " his gazed roamed about
the littered room and he paused.
The priest's kindly Voice began,
"Yes we've come a school Is to he
established here. Some one must take
charge of It. Wo thought you might.
We're going to get several candidates
and one will be selected."
'"Yes, yes, that Is it." Monsieur Ha
meau took up the speech. "We thought
you might like to be a candidate."
Andre van Strnelen, thanking them,
had assured them that he was anxious
to be considered, and they had care
fully made their way to the door. Out
In the road they stopped to talk. One
of them Indicated the neighboring
house. Tho others nodded slowly and
they went to call on Karel Verbeek.
It wns then thnt Andre realized,
Their hesitation after they had entered
his house, their stammering embar
rassment nnd exchange of glances,
their Indecision and their consultation
In the road after they had left all
meant one thing. There had been no
Idea of candidates; they had Intended
to give him tho position till they saw
how he lived, how his house was kept.
Then they had takeu the kindest way
out of the situation.
Ho was not surprised to, henr the
next day thut Verbeek wus appointed,
but, for a long time, he could not mnko
himself go home. When he finally did
open his door It wus very late. Ma
thilda was asleep. Ho awakened her,
Verbeek was elected."
"Uh-huli." She closed her eyes
again, apparently uninterested.
"Do you know why?" demanded
Andre almost fiercely. "It was be
cause " But sho had gone back to
sleep she had not cared.
He stood stiffly, staring down nt her,
fils fists clenched till the knuckles
were white, his teeth set. Ho hated
tho Injustice of clrcunniunco; he
