I did not need the inflection in tier

have given much to recall because of
its banality.
D'.cky'i Raillery.
Dut it had served its purpose well
iu goading her, a purpose which I
realized lay beneath the surface of
my emotions, but which constantly
was thrusting itself into my con
scious actions. Why is it, I wonder,
in this day of feminine emancipation,
that one of the surest ways to make
the average woman anpry ii to In
sinuate that her size in shoe is
'..irger than other wo urn of approxi
mately the same weight and height?
1 saw Mrs. Cosgrovc bite her lip
to hide a smile, and in Lillian's eyes
there glinted a swift amusement at
the girl's evident anger, but I read
something else in those clear eyes
a disapproval of my petty cattmess.
In Lillian's estimation I knew that
for the moment I had forgotten to
play the game. . . ; ,
Dicky's voice struck in with the
careless, half-mocking inflection ho
almost invariably uses in talking to
Miss Dean.
"You might stuff the toes with a
pound or two of cotton." he drawled,
"or if Mrs. Cosgrove will lend me
her clothesline I'll tie them on witrt
pieces of that, provided you find
they won't stay on alone. Funny
I never realized before what a Cin
derella foot you have, Miss Dean. 1
thought my spouse's tooties took the
cake and the pie in that direction. But
we live and learn. Madge. I warn
you I'm the original glass slipper
gentleman. When I find a girl witn
a foot smaller than yours, well 1
won't break your heart right here
before everybody by telling yon the
probable consequences.. But take a
tip from the Chinese and begin to
hind your feet right away today, t.ial
is, if you value my fealty.
N Madge's Change of Heart.
Through the chagrin I felt at hav
. ing belittled myself by the fehne
little speech which had started this
' raillery there crept a tiny thrill ot
triumph. Dicky, who always has
been absurdly proud of my rather
small feet, had taken my side in the
undercurrent , duel between Bess
, - Dean and me. He could not have
expressed his dfsbelxf m her abili y
to get on my shoes more strongly
? J than by this mocking assent to ner
claim. . , ....
- With the triumph came a suddeM
distaste for the controversy, and I
cast about for some means to avoid
the humiliation which I was sure
Bess Dean would feel when she tried
to put on my sneakers. With a sud
den remembrance of an extra pa'r
of the comfortable footgear which
I once had bought without trying on,
that had proved a size too arge,
and which I had brought with tne
for a possible emergency, I rose to
my feet, resolved to make things
easv for the girl. . ,
"I'll get the shoes right away,
Bess," I said with nonchalant friend
liness. "I suppose you'll want to
make an early start."
"Thanks' so much," she returned
with careful amiability. "What about

At I left tht' room I heard Dicky

hamper, eaten in a certain pavilion,
which an enterprising Karage ownri
furnished fr the comiort of auto,

He tossed the shoes disdainfully
to the side of the room, and obedi

IF KIDNEYS ACT
BAD TAKE SALTS
Says Backache ia sign you
have been eating too
much meat.
When you wake up with backache
find dull misery in the kidney region
it generally means you have been
eating too much meat, says a well
known authority. Meat forms uric
acid which overworks the kidneys in
their effort to filter it from th? blood
and they become sort of paialyzed
and loggy. When your kidneys get
sluggish and clog you must relieve
them, like you relieve your bowels;
removing all the body's urinous
waste, also you have backache, sick
headache, dizzy spells; your stom
ach sours, tortgue is coated, and when
the weather is bad you have rheu
matic twinges. The urine is cloudy.
full of sediment, channels often get
sore, water scalds and you are
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night.
Either consult a good, reliable phy
sician at once or get from your
pharmacist about four ounces of Jad
Salts: take a tablespoomul in a glass
of-water before breakfast for a few
days and your kidneys will then act
fine. This famous salts is made from
the acid of grapes and lemon juice,
combined with lithia, and has been
used for generations to clean and
stimulate sluggish kidneys,- also to
neutralize acids in the urine so it no
longer irritates, thus ending bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts is a life saver for regular
meat eatei-3, It is inexpensive, can
not injure 'and makes a delightful,
effervescent lithia-water drink.

Responsibility
By JACK LEE
Jut iiuw the public it training it attention on Omaha, wlieia
a grand jury ha. juat finished Indicting a numbi-r of widely known
men for their nativities In alleged attck and get-rich-qulck nchemes.
The grand jury hat released the whole lul of accuai'd and all
iU finding to the court and day after day the lint of men who
are arrested on various charges is growing. Just now it is not
healthy for the reputation to be seen with a deputy sheriff, no
matter of how long standing the acquaintance may be. Tenons
who see you with one may think you are one of the indicted being
taken up before District Judge Troup to fix a bond.
So far none of the men arrested has had to go to jail for
failure to find a bondsman. There teems to be plenty of bonds
men and even bondswomen.
Omuha feels quite proud of its share in turning the "pitiless
light of publicity" on sharks who helped bilk Xebraskans of mil
lions in the past few years.
Attorney General Davis id seriously considering another grand
jury investigation of other cases. Lincoln talks of following
Omaha's example and calling a grand jury of its own. Just now
it looks as though the shark is In for a bit of stormy weather.
Whether all will be found guilty at tho hands of the jury that
hears the evidence in the case is yet to be seen.
Anyway there's going to be a lot of thinking done before any
more wildcat schemes are launched in Nebraska.
All of which brings us down to a little speech made by an old
time man of Omaha to a group of younger men at a luncheon
recently.
Said he: "This grand jury ntuff has got me worried and the
worry is doing me a world of good.
"I am a member of the board of directors in one of the com
panies under fire. While I know nothing of the company or its
affairs, I am just as liable for any of its transactions as though I
had attended every meeting of the board of directors and as though
I had taken an active part in its affairs.
"We older business men take the appointment to a board of
directors very lightly. We consider it quite an honor to be a di
rector in as many companies as possible. We figure that it gives
us a lot of business prestige without our exerting any special physi
cal or mental action for the company.
"We skip meetings, never keep tab on the company and let
those in direct charge of all activities do as they please and abide
by their reports.
"It has never occurred to me until this grand jury investiga
tion just how careless responsible business men can be and how
close to the law some of us are flying without being aware of it.
"I have come to the conclusion that being a director in the
concern doesn't mean only that I have my name on the company's
stationery and that I draw what dividends I am entitled to with
out a qualm, but it means that I am responsible for everything that
takes place in the name of that comnany.' If the company is hon
est I am honest. If it is crooked, whether I know it to be or not,
I'm crooked. '
"Hereafter men are not going to be so ready to be an officer
in any old company that asks them, especially in Nebraska
They're going to investigate and see just what the conoern is be
fore they take a hand in it.
"I hope there are other responsible business men as worried
as I, for I know that it is going to awaken them to their true re
sponsibility. "If the company I am in proves another 'wildcat' all the ex
planations I can give might not be able to convince a jury I had
nothing to do with it actively. The fact that I was one of the offi
cers, even though a negligent one, will place ;ne in the same posi
tion as those who really did the illegal acts."t .
The promoters of these wildcat schemes are not altogether to
blame. They had to have assistance in many cases to get the com
pany started after they had raised the funds. On occasions the
name of a prominent, safe business man on a board of directors or
in Some official capacity will do more to get investors than all the
silky talk a smooth salesman or promoter can put out.
Investors are apt to follow the actions of a successful man and
do as he does or suggests. Just why a man who has worked ear
nestly for years to acquire a substantial business reputation will
risk it on something of which he knows nothing is inexplicable.
An old philosopher, Emerson possibly, said something to the
effect that many a man's first step to ruin was taken when he first
accepted something for nothing.
Something for nothing is just as impossible as making some
thing out of nothing. Promises of big returns on investments
sound beautiful, but the certain smaller returns on a safe invest
ment will buy more.
When big concerns are going well they are known as "big
business." All their success is centered in the hands of a. few
operators who have the business brains to put their concern across
successfully. t .
But let one of those "big business" concerns get into trouble,
financial difficulties, or go broke through mismanagement and see
how quickly one can analyze "big business."
The minute-the concern goes under there comes a wail from
the stockholders. Who are they? Doctors, lawyers, merchants,
clerks, stenographers, widows, orphans, salesmen, farmers, ranch
ers, Tom, Dick and Harry and practically somebody from every
walk in life is present.
They are "big business." They have lent their savings in an
effort' to get a bigger return than the savings banks or building
and loan associations could offer.
They have placed their confidence in the few who promoted
and operated the "big business."
When he discharged the grand jury that made the present in
vestigations District Judge A. C. Iroup told the jurors that a
greater service had never been given to the county or state by any
similar jury.
One way to prevent a recurrence of the wildcat promoter is
for every business man to appoint himself a member of a personal
?rand jury. When a scheme or promotion is presented to him, let
him go into the merits of the concern conscientiously. Let him
weigh his findings and then if the facts warrant let him either rec
ommend or condemn.
Let him not be responsible for losses to men and women who
cannot afford them and let him also be true to himself.
The grand jury investigations have proven T. P. Barn urn's
famous saying, "There is one bom every minute," and they are not
all east of the Mississippi.
This saying can be refuted in a short time if every man in a
position to stop "Vildcatting" will feel his responsibility and do all
in his power to clip the wildcat's fur.
