KITCHEN RUN BY CITY.
At GrenobIe, France, an Association Serves
Good Food at Cost.

Housewives who think the co-Opera,
tive kitchen is so far in the future that
it would be absurd to look forward tC
it for relief from daily drudgery will be
interested to hear that a kitchen with
the same end i'll view as the cooperative
has been in successful operation for
nearly 90 years. The Association Ali
mentaire of Grenoble, France, is pure
ly municipal affair. The city owns it
and supplies meals at cost i'll its own
restaurant or delivers them at private
homes.
Everything at the Association Ali.
mentaire is as good as money can buy.
The cooks are as clever as any in France,
which is saying great deal. The pro
visions are bought in the best markets
and are carefully selected. The service
is excellent. The dining rooms are of
several grades, according to the furnish
ings and the attendance, so that all
tastes may be accommodated One may
dine there for cents on bread and
soup and be satisfied or one may pay 2
cents and have full course dinner. In
the best rooms, which are marble flOOred
and decorated with much elegance, there
are walters who look for tips as natu-
rally as though they were in the SWEETEST
of Partisan cafes.
Pure wines, which have been proper
ly aged, are served at about cents
liter
There is no financial profit to the city
in running this huge restaurant, which
serves some $4,000 meals day. The
charges are based on the cost of the
materials used, the employment of help
and the amount spent in keeping the
utensils, T"cEiECry and building i'll re-
pair Nov Y cork Press.

A woman's greatest mission in this world
is to help baby. Teaching baby to eat, and
to walk and to talk. A rightly constituted
woman finds in these her happiest employ
ment. Too many women miss this happi-
ness because of their own ignorance or neg
lect. No woman should be6gnorant of her
own physical makeup. No woman has the
right to neglect the health of those delicate
organs of her body upon which depends the
life and health and happiness of her chill
dren. The Mosaic command to increase
and multiply" was no idle, thoughtless
edict. 1t was the command of Jehovah.
The woman who annuls it by neglect of her
womanly health commits crime.
The best medicine for women is Doctor
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. 1t makes a
woman capable of performing her duty to
herself her husband, her children and man
kind. 1t acts directly upon the organs dis
tinctly feminine and makes them strong and
vigorous. 1t does away with the discom-
forts of the period preceding motherhood.
1t makes baby's advent easy and almost
painless. 1t cures all weakness and disease
of the distinctly feminine organism.
IN a family of parents and children there is
much care many worries, numerous perplexites.
But, If sickness comes, everything else is small
beside It. How valuable then is doctor in the
same block, or an experienced neighbor next
door. How much more comfortable for all con-
Cerned is a standard medical book on the table or
the bookshelf 1t is less expensive than the doc
tor, probably more reliable than the experienced
neighbor. Dr. Pierce's Common Sense Medical
Adviser is the best thing of this sort ever pub
lished. 1T contains ,ooS pages of plain talk and
careful illustrations. Many Of the pictures are
coiored and true to nature. Nearly 100 pages are
devoted TO the diseases of women. There are
prescriptions for their cure at home. Send 81 one

OLD TIME DOCTORS.
The Students Helped Their Teachers In
Practical Work.


Practical Work.
During the last century in America
the medical education Of a young stu
dent was generally what he picked up
by serving as an apprentice to some
noted practitioner, which combined the
duties of a student with many mental
affairs.
He ground the powders, mixed the
pills, rode with the doctor on his rounds,
held the basin when the patient was
bled, helped to adjust the plasters sew
the wounds and run with walls of medi-
cine from one end Ct town to the other.
1t was white day when such a young
man enjoyed the rare good fortune of
dissecting half putrid arm. So great
indeed was the difficulty of obtaining
anatomical subjects that the medical
school of Harvard college made a single
body do duty for n whole year.
Under such circumstances the doc
tors knowledge was practical, and de-
rived from personal experience rather
than from books. The advantages Of
study were sparingly enjoyed. Few
physicians boasted Of library of so
volumes
His apprenticeship ended, the student
returned to his native town to assume
the practice of medicine. AT that period
with the exception of the minister and
the judge, the doctor was the most i'm
portant parsonage i'll his community
His genial face, his engaging manners
the sincerity with which he inquired
after the carpenters daughter and the
interest which he took in the family Of
the poorest laborer made him the IA
vorite for miles around. He knew the
names and personal history of the occu-
pants of every house he passed. The
farmers lads pulled off their hats to
him and the girls dropped Courtcsies as
he passed. Sunshine and rain, daylight
and darkness, were alike to him. He
would ride ten miles in the darkest
night over the worst of roads in pelt-
ing storm to administer dose of Gallo
mel to an old woman or attend n child
in fit.
The drugs were slowed away on the
shelves of the village store, among
heaps of shoes, Rohan hats, packages Of
seeds and fiitches of bacon.
The physician was compelled to COM
pound his own drugs, make his own
tinctures and put up his own prescrip-
tions. His saddlebag was the only drug
store within 40 miles Each spring the
blood must be purified the kidneys ex-
cited and the damsel who tainted pro
fusely bled. Large doses of SIENNA and
mamma and rhubarb and molasses were
taken daily. 1t was safe to say that
more medicine was taken every year by
the we'll than is now taken by the sick
i'll the same time.
Water was denied the patient tor
mented with fever. In its stead was
given a small quantity Of clam juice.
Mercury was taken until the lips turned
blue and the gums fell away from the
teeth
The writer has a vivid recollection,
when about years old, in a raging fe-
yer, pleading for water. The nurse hand
ed the pitcher, and the child satisfied
her burning thirst. Her brother, over
hearing what was going on, rushed into
the room, exclaiming, you will kill
her, ",but it was too late.

One Eyed Giants.

Sir John Vaudeville saw all sorts of
queer things and wrote about them in
his celebrated book of travels. 1t was
in 1886 that the veracious John visited
a certain group of isles (yles he called

of one eyed giants OF them he says:

Union Pucifics ~ Prominent Feature of

NEW YORK, Jan. 22.-Many special move
ments in stocks prices, chiefly declines, occurred
today, a slight volume of business. The
general effect was weakness. Union Pacific
ruled superior to the downward tendency on
the expectation of agreement between the
government and the reorganization interests,
involving cooperative steps for the foreclosure
OF the Union Pacific and Kansas Pacific prop
critics. The official announcement of the agree
ment ana not reach the street until long after
the close of business. The stock developed
strength and activity In the late session, ad-
vancing lA per cent and reacting y per cent
near the end. Kansas Pacific consol Is, trust
receipts, were also conspicuous, rising Sh per

luminous coal shares. which We're depressed by
the acknowledged unfayurable condition Of

on the decision by Judge Fitzgerald that the
directors OF the company must stand trial for

support. but did not retain the full improvement

weak and sagged sharply under a drive
at the coal shares but the losses

orders led to substantial improvements in prices

comparative strength of the stock In the face
of further unfavorabe reports to the probable

aminations was due to inside support. The mar
