And Mabel glared across the tshle xt one of her neighbors who hsd firmly ss rted that the pigeon's wtfs waa her pigeon. The court waa In a quandary. How could It be proved where the pigeon sot his wife? Judge Kennedy gave It up. The neighbor left the court room In sr.ger.

Still, I think It useless to keep yon any longer." ssld the court, "and you are excused." As the Jurors filed out of ths courtroom they apprsred haggard from the long strain.

Wis. has to say ot H: He Is a Jolly ood Fellow V aaaaaaaaanaaaa He is one of those good souls who is everybody's friend. Ha only gives the worst of it to hiniBelf and the girl at home. He doesn't realize this, but everybody else does. Many a wife, with tear-stained cheeks and aching heart, sits alone during the dark hours of the night while the "Good Fellow" is buying drinks for those who he thinks are his friends. He honestly intended to go home to the one who loves him, but he is unable to withstand the desire for drink. The man is, at heart, made of the right kind of stuff, but whiskey destroys his good resolu tions. He wants to quit, but can't, because his will power is gone. Three days at the Neal Institute will remove his appetite for drink, put him on his feet and bring out the real IvfN that is in him. The Neal treatment consists of a purely vegetable medicine, taken internally and administered by a regular physician. No hypodermic injections. Utmost privacy. Treat ment absolutely harmlesss.
