The Cake Lady
By Mildred White «
(©. 1920. Western Newspaper Union.)
ESSIE LOUISE was mak-
ing a great deal of trou-
ble. From the time her
invalid mother had
brought Tessie to the city
hospital to be treated for
her spine, the golden-
haired baby had been the
pet of the nurses. And
as her stay was pro-
longed, partly because the
mother was too ill and too poor to yet
understand the care of her child.
"What in the world," asked the au-
tocratic young house doctor, “does that
child want?”
"Tess-’ese wants a Nora Christmas
doll,” the nurse said eagerly.
Doctor Bruce wrinkled his brow.
"What does she mean?” he asked.
"Miss Nora Dean,” the girl an-
swered, “is a young woman who vis-
its the children’s ward and has been
much interested in them. She lives
tn a cottage out on the lake shore, and
last summer she came in and took two
©f our little convalescents for a
month’s stay there. . Tessie Louise was
one, and she so fell in love with Miss
Dean at the time that we could hardly
no
roadside. Then he gathered his small
charge in his arms and made his was
to the white door.
"■Come in,” Nora greeted cheerily, “thf
nurse phoned me of your coming.
There’s a new Christmas doll for Tes-
sie Louise in the oven, and a lot more
—to take back.”
It was a broad, white kitchen, redo-
lent of sugar and spices, and an old
lady in a rocking chair near the win-
dow relieved Tessie of her wrappings.
"Yon must give the doctor a cup
of coffee, Nora dear,” the old lady said,
"before his cold drive back to the
•city.”
But Donald Bruce seemed in
ihurry to return.
"This,” he said musingly, “smells
Tike my grandmother’s kitchen. Used
to spend our Christmas with grand-
mother when I was a boy.”
"We are going to have a roasted
chicken for dinner,” the old lady sug-
gested tentatively—“I wonder if it
might not seem just a bit like being at
grandmother’s—if you’d stay and eat
with us?”
ft was remarkable how swiftly the
afternoon hours flew in the lakeside
♦cottage.
"I’m so glad,” the old lady whis-
pered at parting, “that you decided tc
wait to take Tessie back with you.
ft has been a happy Christmas for
Nora, i can see it in her eyes; and
usually happiness is only Nora’s
through the giving. She’s the dear-
est girl in the world!”
“She is just that!” Donald Bruce
answered solemnly.
His eyes weep <m Nora, as he clasped
sSie old lady s> hand.
Donald Bruce sighted the cottage as
he brought his car to a stop in the
■coax her back. But it was necessary
that she should come. Yesterday, Miss
Dean came to the hospital with a bas-
ket of Christmas cakes, made like
dolls, with currant eyes, and colored
frosted dresses. The kiddies were so
pleased; they call her the Cake Lady.
Doctor Bruce frowned.
"That’s bad practice,” he com-
plained, “allowing women to come in
here and feed our patients. I did not
suppose—”
The pleasant nurse hurried to cham-
pion her friend.
She has helped us in many ways. I
should call Miss Dean a philanthropist
if she were not—”
The pleasant nurse paused, “in hum-
ble circumstances herself.”
"The young woman you speak of
lives on the lake shore?” the doctor
asked.
The nurse nodded.
"Her uncle was an old sea captain,”
she told him. “Miss Nora made her
home with this uncle and aunt when
she was as small as Tessie here.
“Now she lives on in the house at
she water’s edge to take care of her
aunt, who is old and crippled. And
still that girl—”
The pleasant nurse choked up unac-
eountably.
"Well, she’s always trying to do
things for others,” she finished; “that
is the way Nora Dean finds happi-
ness.” '
"Great Scott!” interrupted the doc-
tor, “there goes Tessie again; that
noise must be stopped. She must not
1^. disturb the sick ones.”
The prettiest nurse came hastily.
^^Tessie says she won’t stop until she
^ttken to Miss Nora. 1 really wish
s\ d made arrangements yesterday
her driven out to the lake
nr over Christmas.”

Interesting Experience of a Texas Lady Who Declares That if More
Women Knew About Cardui They Would Be Spared

Constipation. It relieves promptly but
should be taken regularly for 14 to 21 days
to induce regular action.. It Stimulates and
Regulates. Very Pleasant to Take. 60c

I couldn’t rest well at night and was . . •
just lifeless.
“I heard of Cardui and after reading I
decided I had some female trouble that
was pulling me down. I sent for Cardui
and began it . .
“In a very short while after I began the
Cardui Home Treatment I saw an im-
provement and it wasn’t long until I was
all right—good appetite, splendid rest,
and much stronger so that I easily did my
house work.
“Later I took a bottle of Cardui as a
tonic. I can recommend Cardui and glad-
ly do so, for if more women knew, it
would save a great deal of worry and
sickness.’’
The enthusiastic praise of thousands o!
other women who have found Cardui
helpful should convince you (that it is
worth trying. All druggists sett it.

Navasota, Texas.—Mrs. W. M. Peden,
of this place, relates the following interest-
ing account of how she recovered her
strength, having realized that she was
actually losing her health:
“Health is the greatest thing in the
world, and when you feel that gradually
slipping away from you, you certainly sit
up and take notice. That is what 1 did
some time ago when I found myself in a
very nervous, run-down condition of
health. I was so tired and felt so lifeless
I could hardly go at all.
“I was just no account for work. I
would get a bucket of water and would
feel so weak I would have to set it down
before I felt like I could lift it to the shelf.
In this condition, of course, to do even
my housework was a task almost im-
possible to accomplish.
“1 was . . . nervous and easily upset.
