Hooked Fish
Fish do not seem to suffer much
when they are hooked. About the
jaw there are few nerves which
could cause the sensation of pain.
Some trout have been known to be
hooked two or three times in the
same day, the fisherman using
the same type of bait.
Fish, no doubt, have a sensation
of discomfort, but not as great as
that of the higher animals. In gen
eral, a fish must feel some pain on
some parts of the body, but has
few nerves around the mouth,
where it is apt to be hooked.

"The gas on my stomach was so bad

rought me relief.
Now I eat as I
wish, sleep fine and never felt better.”

Adlerika acts on BOTH upper and
lower bowels while ordinary laxatives
act on the lower bowel only. Adlerika
gives your system a thorough cleans

that you would not believe was in your
system and that has been causing gas

NOT SO
DUMB
«CO YOU rather liked Dick Good-
win, did you? Well, Dick's not
bad—but he's something of a nut.
He doesn’t get far with any of us
girls.”
Kitty Draper’s twenty • year old
hostess, Dorothy Blaine, looked
with an expression of mild com
passion on her guest as they sat
in the living room of the Blaine
summer home after the Sunday aft
ernoon tea party when Dorothy had
introduced her guest to the young
men and girls with whom she
"played round” during the summer.
Kitty was twenty—she ought to be
a better judge. Now. of all the
men she had met the one she men
tioned specially was Dick Goodwin.
Just another proof of Kitty’s de
ficiency. Kitty was a dear and rath
er pretty, but still really a little
dumb.
Kitty tried to defend herself. "I
didn't say I was prazy about Dick
Goodwin. You asked me which one
of the men I liked most, and I just
said that I had had a very interest
ing conversation with him. We got
to talking about hobbies and he
mentioned the fact that he was in
terested in geology. So he talked
about geology—”
“Dick would talk about geology.
Meets a pretty girl for the first
time—a girl who is willing to talk
with him—and he talks about geol
ogy. That’s really precious. Didn't
I say he was a nut?”
"But why shouldn’t a man talk
about geology—if he’s interested in
it?”
"Doesn't have to talk about any
thing, silly—that way. I mean, at
a tea party like this a man’s just
expected to sort of kid and — oh,
you know—banter—light talk.”
Meantime Dick had been driven
home in one of his own cars with
the Hurley girls, Rodney Steele,
Ben and Margery Kelly and Stella
Bates. Wedged in the back seat
between Margery and Stella he was
listening in some surprise to com
ments about Kitty.
"Oh she’s pretty enough,” bab
bled Margery, "and I hear she has
quite a bit of money in her own
name, and she can dance well and
all that. I see what Dorothy means,
though—she is dumb.”
"Whal do you mean, dumb?”
asked Dick in surprise.
“Just dumb. You know what I
mean.” Margery said.
At first Dick's interest in the
dumbness of Kitty was quite self
ish. Here was a girl that had struck
him as entirely charming. She had
money, which wasn’t anything to
him because Dick happened to have

enough of that commodity himself.
Still it would have weight, he knew,
with Ben and Rodney and their
confreres. He had noticeu that the
men did not hover around her as
they did some of the other girls
and now they explained that this
was because of some characteristic
which in their lingo was indicated
by “dumbness.”
The next week was crowded with
beach suppers, hatles,, breathless
motor drives along the curving
shore road—sunny hours of swim
ming and tennis and later hours of
dancing and card playing. Besides
for Kitty and Dick there was a
geological survey up the side of a
hill five miles inland, arranged for
six o’clock one morning so that it
might not conflict with the program
arranged by Dorothy for Kitty’s en
tertainment.
To ask a girl to go pebble hunt
ing at six o’clock in the morning
was further proof that Dick was a
nut—and of course any girl who
would consider such an invitation
in the light of anything but a joke
was hopelessly dumb. Still in one
way both Dick and Kitty were pop
ular. It was Dick who always found
it convenient to “change a bill”
when the crowd had stopped at a
roadside inn for refreshments. His
two new cars were always ready
for anyone who wanted to drive.
Two weeks later, after Kitty had
gone home and Dick and Rodney
and most of the other men had gone
back to the city after their sum
mer holidays, Ben and Margery
Kelly, lingering on the beach with
Dorothy, discussed Kitty.
“I know Kitty wouldn’t mind my
telling you of her engagement,"
said Margery. “I suppose everyone
guessed it anyway. Kitty’s imma
ture and rather dumb, hut she's a
nice girl—"
“Maybe she’s not so dumb after
all,” suggested Ben. "She did quick
work with Dick all right. And
Dick’s a decent fellow and he's got
a lot of money even if he is a nut—”
"I don’t know whether Dick is
such a nut anyway,” observed
Katherine, "die was chosen out of
two or three hundred applicants as
head of some geological survey
from college. You said yourself he
was the one fellow in the crowd
who was likely to make his name
in the world.”
“Well, of course, there's that,”
said Ben indolently, but ho was
thinking neither of Kitty nor Dick
—rather wondering to himself
whether in all the world there was
a more deliciously fashioned pair
of lips than those of Dorothy Blaine.
