Wounds From Rusty Nails Dangerous Serious results, through blood poi­ soning, often occur from scratches, cuts or wounds from rusty nails or other metal. Don’t run this danger. .Protect yourself by having a bottle of HouBtonia always at hand, Dean McKlllip, well-known farmer of Clark Co., Ohio, says: “I stepped op a rusty nail which extended half­ way through my foot. I- applied Houstonia to the wound and ban­ daged the foot. In a short time the pain got easier. After five days I did not limp and the wound healed nicely. People who use Houstonia for. such injuries do not need to fear blood poisoning." / Houstonia (The Original Jones’ Liniment) may be freely applied to open cuts, sores or burns without fear. It soothes while it heals. At your .druggist. 25c, 50c and $1.00 sizes.’ Be sure you get the genuine House-tone-e-ah with Dr. Jones’ pic­ ture on the yellow wrapper. The Dr. . J. C. Jones Co., S.

Prof. Duncan Parmlnter sat down to breakfast and glanced at. the mall lying Just to the right of his coffee. The frock goat and somber tie of black silk ineffectively coped with the clear eyes and too-well-formed Ups, and the whiteness of the collar Sharply contrasted with the black hair which persisted in curling about the ears and along the nape of the neck. "Good morning, Duncan," was the smiling greeting of his mother, a very maternal sort of woman; "what do you see to smile at In that letter? Enough for two to smile at?" He handed it to her and she read aloud: “Prof, Duncan Parmlnter, City. "Recognizing your1knowledge and ability along the lines of th)8 commit­ tee’s activities, you have been selected to conduct Its investigations with par­ ticular reference to the public dance hall evil. Mall the result of your findings to the morals Investigating committee. "Respectfully, “CELIA DOANE." “Celia Doane," Mrs. Parmlnter re­ peated, "I met her some time ago and she Is a, wonder. She is the type of girl I should like to see yon marry.” The professor raised hts bands in silent protest. The kind of girl his mother approved was not an infre­ quent topic of discussion between them. When he gave the matter any thought privately he felt that he leaned toward celibacy. “Well, you must marry some time, Duncan,’’ she reiterated, "and this In­ vestigation business may help you to appreciate a girl like Celia Doahe. Go this very evening to the Palace ball and see conditions there." The professor acknowledged accept­ ance of the commission, and accord­ ingly that evening, It had scarcely turned 8 o’clock, when he approached the entrance to the Palace hall, flnr- ingly resplendent In a maze of multi­ colored electric lights. ’ He entered the hall. He was alone. Was not this the right place? Down the aisle he noticed an attendant, her jaws working rhythmically on gum which to sustain the truth, of Its ad­ vertising that the flavor was perma­ nent, still cast forth Its scented sweet­ ness. The professor wished he hud the temerity to speak. He would in­ quire if this perhaps were a dull night, “Sure you don’t mean to stand there and tell me you’ve never been to this here place before, do ynh? Naw, the crowd don’t get together till nearly 10 .” The professor felt himself properly rebuffed for his. Ignorance of so well- known a custom and passed hurriedly on in a direct line for a chair he had espied in a' far corner. He did not know how long he had remained, in this semi-conscious seclusion .when the * * * * * * M ............. . before him uritouckod, Its foamy lath #F all vanished. "No, yon can't see me home; hot PH be here tomorrow night," And when the professor crept into bed, restless tossing brought tardy sleep, fitfully Interrupted by nervous dreams. t "I declare, Duncan." laughed Mrs. Parmlnter the next morning as he en­ tered the breakfast room fifteen min* J ntes late, "but yon look aa K yon had ! never been out before. And—why, Duncanl" she exclaimed, as her eye took In his person; “yon’re wearing a colored tie!" He murmured something about be­ ing tired of black and appeared reti­ cent to his previous eveplng’a experi­ ence, vouchsafing the information that he would again visit the dance hall that, evening. j‘ “But Duncan," Mrs. Parmlnter re­ monstrated, "Fire Invited Celia Doane for dinner and you know I did want you to meet her. The Investigation can wait, Won’t yon please be home?” ! He walked the block thrice to avoid again being the first in the- hall and ! paid his entrance fee with an u!r al- ! most of bravado. Seeking his corner, he watched the dancers to find the particular girl, hut she was nowhere . vlBlble. Ho circled the hall, colliding with every other couple—but no girl. Why should he be disappointed? Sure­ ly Bhe meant nothing to him—he was only watching her as a specimen to Include in •his report. So he entered In his •notebook, “Dance-halls create disappointments early ,:.ln life." Nor did the Investigation seem to require attendance the following evening, but as soon as he entered the-hall he knew she was there, for he could sense’lt In his whole body. By an analytical survey be considered the question;. Why was he so glad to see her? JuSt to complete his report. He made his way’to her side and she answered the question In his eyes. “An engagement kept me away last night. I am sorry.” The professor was for overlooking everything; he was glad to see her looking so well this evenlngj, And al­ though the syncopated melodies tempt­ ed all feet on the floor, the two sat in the secluded corner and talked what were considered original topics when Adam first saw Eve, She dropped her handkerchief and as both stooped to pick the tiny square of white linen from the floor their'heads touched; and somehow—-the professor was not thinking of analyses then— their Ups met, The professor was . dizzy ns he gripped her hands with a Wild fear she would escape. He hod to confess I t He, Prof. Duncan Parmlnter, In­ structor of social and political econ­ omy at the Belle Vue seminary, and recently appointed operative of the morals Investigation committee, was In love with a public dance hall g ir l- one who came there unescorted to bo picked up*--a girl whom he had seen but once before—‘whose very name he did aot know. He took a keen delight in torturing himself with1the reflec­ tion. Ah, but ehe was worth It nil i one did not .catch so fair a specimen every day. Together they would brave the Wrath of the world. To­ morrow night she should meet his mother. ' And Mrs. Parmlnter, in exceptional spirits, was quite agreeable to her music, with a tremendous bang from the dirummer, suddenly set Into mo- son’s "earnest suggestion that one of tlon innumerable couples on the floor’s the subjects of his investigation h* center. It was a good crowd. The professor felt her coming tOr ward him and arose to escape.1 But she interpreted his move as an ad­ vance, and thrusting her arm through his with good-natured comaraderle, snuggled np close to him. “Hello, Gutey; music's sweU to­ night; ain’t it?” * As he tried to determine how he could most diplomatically correct her. Imperfect English, he found himself on the other side of the ropes with the girl. To him a roped-ln place al­ ways suggested prize fighting. The professor did not know very much about dancing, and within a few mo­ ments the girl knew he didn’t. She had no hesitancy1In telling him so. ”1 guess you ain’t had so much practice In dancin’. - Let’s sit out.” And with a sure step she guided him Bafely through the maze of dancers and deposited him In his comer. “Yon look better’n yon can dance,” anrl with the parting thrust she was gone. The professor regretted her hasty depar­ ture. He wanted to learn the name of the soporific perfume she exuded and be did want to tell her that her pet­ ticoat showed, . The professor suddenly remembered. In all such reports mention must be made of Die attitude of Die girls and men toward each other, and he would Investigate one particular individual as a specimen. There was a girl who did not seem so—-er—brazen, He would investigate her, and summoned courage to approach,, "No, I don’t care to dance.” The professor was very sorry. Would she care to sit out? And os he led her to his comer, he secretly com­ plimented himself on his rare judg­ ment in so neatly managing his In­ vestigation and in selecting so inter­ esting and attractive a "specimen." He would imagine her as a bug ready for dissection, as in his biological studies, But it would have to be a very pretty bug. Bo he chose the lady bug. Perhaps because the girl was pret­ ty, or perhaps because investigations were so Interesting, but somehow as the hours sped by the professor no longer noticed the blatant raucous notes of the saxophonist nor how dreadfully out of time the pianist was hammering, Again the hall was empty. The girl noticed it'before he be permitted to visit'them that evening. "And Celia Doane can meet her,” she continued. "She will be with us this evening—Just the person to under­ stand. What is the girl’s name?” The professor was confused. The fact was, Mrs, Parmlnter. was In­ formed her son could not remember names. Bat to himself he whispered "Lady Bug." Evening found him uncomfortably nervous in a drees suit with its both­ ersome coat-tails; and eagerly he watched the mold as she answered each bell ring. There I At last I That was surely her ring. She would ring just like that! A tiny, gentle, hesi­ tant ring! But his mother was saying, "So glad to see you, Miss Doane. Yon con meet my son a t last and he has \ asked one of his specimens to be with us tonight Come right this way.” Disappointed, the professor, walked over to the window and dejectedly looked down Into the dark street Why hadn’t the girl come first? He wanted his mother to meet her alone —So much depended on the first Im­ pression. He heard them in the room. Through courtesy he must ad­ vance. He turned around, and made a rash for the vision before hlrnl Was she Celia Doane? Mrs. Pnrmin- ter started in incredulous amazement as her dream hopes were being real­ ized before her very eyes. "But, Miss Doane, I didn’t think you even knew my son 1” "I didn’t The night ,1 inspected the hall he thought me one of the girls," she said, and looking up arch­ ly a t the professor, who held her very close, she added, "and because I was investigating "I never let on, But I didn’t suspect he was the professor until—” "Until—" Mrs. Parmlnter repeated eagerly. "Until he told me where to call to meet his mother." Celia hesitated as a deep blush colored cheeks and heck a scarlet red. “I was coming here to meet you as—" "My specimen 1” murmured the pro­ fessor1 mderly. i To Others. "I know I don’t play whist well, but 1 only play cards for amusement.” "Well, your game Is certainly amus­ ing,”—Boston Transcript. Sudden cold Kills Fishes.
