You were boy yourself
once, dear reader, that is unless
you are a woman, in which case
you, especially if you be a mother,
probably take more interest in the
boys than do even fathers. Now
the boys must be remembered;
they must be provided with such
things as are suitable to their par
ents station in life, and the not too
parsimoniously. Knee pants suit
or some other kind Of suit, accord
ing to their age, must be gotten
for them, and where are such
things to be had. Well the firm
Of F. w. KRUGER & co. is
making speciality Of Juvenile
Clothing, and we think it would be
hard to beat or even equal us in
the twin cities. The prices are
just as they should be, extremely
moderate; the quality is excellent;
the fit perfect; the wear lasting.
If Herbie does tear his clothes

the matter and get him new suit

Why Not Grand Rapids.

The bill appropriating $4,000 for the
establishing of home for feeble mind
ed has passed the Assembly and been
ordered to third reading in the senate,
and there is every indication Of its
passage. The location has not been de-
cided upon, but it is likely some town
in northern Wisconsin will get it by
making an appropriation of land suffi=
cient for an institution farm. Why not
have it located in this vicinity Grand
Rapids has natural advantages, and is
entering on an era of prosperity that
will make our city metropolitan and
there is no reason why we should
longer modestly refrain from asking 8
share of the state buildings.

tended especially for the weaker sex,
and as long as women will insist in
dropping themselves in horse cars, in
shops and every convenient corner drug
store, it is a duty they owe the rest of
the world to faint as pcturesQuely and
gracefully as possible.
The average faint, says writer in the
New York Record. shows woman in
anything but becoming attitudes.
Painting is not painful sensation at
all, and the most unpleasant portion of
the occurrence is the knowledge borne
in on the victim with forty-horse power
pressure that she has not made exactly
prize taDleau of herself.
The woman who appreciates this and
has a real desire to look like picture
the next time she has to Succumb to the
inevitable, can take few lessons in the
art of Painting and assume such grace
full poses that instead of bore it will
become real pleasure to fall on the
floor and make an unconscious picture.

She must have been thinking of the

Relax the body. Let it fall across
the sofa, just catching the sofa pillow
corner. Now let your arms hang limp,
!, feet the same. All, that's a beautiful
faint. Any woman who can do that
we'll need never fear that she isn't a
picture"
"Do styles change In fainting?"
''Of course. Formerly an actress used
to fall on her nose or right ear with
force calculated to drive the remainder
of her lines out Of her head. Now she
fades away gradually INTO unconscious
ness like the spirits in seance. Did
you know that the DelSarte system has
brought the science OF fainting to such
perfection that the real article can be
counterfeited so closely as to defy de
lection? When the principles of Del
sarte thoroughly control the individual
even the blood will leave the face, and
the cheek and lips and ears, even, will
blanch. But fainting gracefully isn't the
only thing women try to learn. There
are some society women who have act
ually taken lessons OH how to kneel
gracefully in church and hold the head
in deYout attitude"
But surely the fainting lesson is SEN
Sible, and no one could blame a woman
for wanting to understand it as an art.

to hunt them, as yet, however, unsuc-

hoping to find at least one dead wolf to-
morrow. They roam in open daylig lit,
boldly entering villages and carrying
off helpless little ones. Three went in
company few days ago into a native
village: one of the number entered a
hut and snatched little child from its
fathers arms. Pursuit in every case
has been futile. Ii seems this is their
breeding time, hence their abnormal

The Value Of Condiments in the
Digestion Of Foods.

nc lAic O1 SOHItIisltHtS III GIiS
Digestion Of Foods.
New York World.
Pepper. salt vinegar, piprilIon, mus
tard and oil occupy place at almost
every table. With these are q number
of com pounded sauces, such as tobasco,
Worcestershire and others of pro-
nOunced pungency. While the purpose
which a cOndiment is supposed to serve
may be confined to the sense Of taste,
he who first employed it had. back of
simple palatial qualification, an idea of
the comfort which was experienced in
the stomach after taking seasoned foods.
This comfort was an index of perfect di-
gestion and nourlshment and of epicur-
can satisfaction. Peppers and peppery
substances, salts, etc, were destined to
occupy a place III the history of
edible foods, a supplementary one,
it is true, yet not less i'm
portant than the position Of executive
officer on ship which has captain in
command. The normal digestive fluids
furnish the means for disposing of
foods taken into the system. that is for
those which are OF character neces-
sary for the actual nourishment of the
body. They do not. however, have
SuluClCllG SGltliSIil W use up SupeIlu-
Gus matters in their ordinary flowing.
A condiment stimulates the secretions
of the glands and lends such an activity
to digestive powers that there is re-
markable contrast between a cOndl-
mental and natural meal. Peppers
are not to be recommended to any great
extent, neither is common salt alone to
be advised. A proper mixture of salt,
pepper and celery powder makes a very
good seasoning with sufficient pungency
to secure what is desired in the way of
relish.
Pepper is simply general stimulant
for the digestive tract. 1t braces the
stomach, gives a sense of warmth and
causes a flow Of the digestive fluid of
the stomach. Mustard has a somewhat
similar action, while salt and vinegar
serve The doubIe purpose of supplying
the needs so far as saline matters are
concerned and rendering oleaginous
matters fit for speedy absorption.
ToOascO, Worcestershire, piprikon
and other sauces have many merits,
especially when one partakes of fish or
salads. A dressing is absolutely neceS-
sary for a boiled or baked fish, and no
salad outside of the water-cress or cell
cry is fit to be taken into the stomach
without the stimulus to digestion which
the dressing furnishes.
Do not be afraid OF condiments; they
will not do you any great harm. If you
should, however, have an irritable liver
or too active kidneys, avoid red peppers
and mustard.

ANIMAL AFFECTION.
President Jordan's Dog Waited
for Its Masters Arrival.

President Jordan's Dog Waited
for Its Masters Arrival.
St. Louis Globe Democrat.
AN instance OF animal affection came
to my notice two years ago." said
AquiIla Flelschmap, instructor of
physics in the University of Kansas
who stopped for a day at the st. James.
1T was on the occasion Of President
Jordan's leaving the state university of
| Indiana, where | was then student.
President Jordan resigned the
presidency of Indiana university
| to assume that of the Lee
land Stanford Jr. university at
Pasadena, Cal. While president of the
| Indiana university, DR.. Jordan secured
tine Bernard pup and took good care
! to raise it properly. The dog soon be
came proficient in many ways under the
| tutelage of DR.. Jordan, and seemed
| fairly to worship its master. Nightly the
| dog could be seen in the Bloomington
! postoffice waiting its turn when the mail
| for the president would be handed ont,
| inclOsed IN leathern pouch. With this
pouch the dog would tot away toward
! the residence of the president, and woe
| TO anyone who attempted to bar its
progress.
''Dr. Jordan on leaving presented the
| dog to Professor Hoffman, of the col
lege. AT first the dog was dsinclined
to part with his master and upon meet
| ing Dr.. Jordfn in the street would turn
away from Prof. Hoffman and follow
after. Being driven away once OF twice,
| however, it made no further attempts at
| following him. On the occasion of the
DOCTORS departure Prof. Hoffman, along
with the other members OF the faculty,
went to the depot. The dog jOurneyed
| with him. 1t was here that DR.. Jordan
| stopped and patted the cog on the head
and then entered the cars. The dog
J watched wistfully for the reappearance
of the good doctor, but in vain.
| Shortly after this Prof. Hoffman noticed
! that his dog was absent at certain
period in the day. The operator at the
depot also noticed the daily visits of the
| uOE to the station on the arrival and de-
| parture of the 2 p. m. train. Being in
formed as to whom the dog belonged he
sent word, and Prof. Hoffman, next
day watched the strange sight. The
dog came, expecting the return of its
former master, and waited patiently for
| the approach of the train. AS the train
neared the depot it would prick up its
ears and observe the arrivals. 1t was
only when the train had passed out of
| sight that the dog would depart. 1t was
really touching scene, and shows the
depth of animal affection"
