early Thursday morning—fat,

dyspeptic and nerve-tortured -

playing truant from a corps of

well nigh crazy physicians back

in the Empire stste.

Three weeks ago his doctors

bundled Woolworth onto n Ten

nessee-bound train for Tait's

Springs willi strict orders to re

main quiet for a month, forget

business and give his nerves a

rest.

Arriving at the health resort,

Woolworth didn't like the looks

of the place, so he skedaddled.

Meanwhile the doctors don't

know where he's gone, and are

wringing their hands in a frenzy,

sending telegrams all over the

Country and raising professional

That's the kind of a fellow

Woolworth is.
