Elder John w. Rogers, a Christian
Evangelist, of Filley, Mo. II gave

all danger was past and the child re-
covered" This remedy not only
cures Group, but when given as soon

mistakes women Make.


One of the mistakes of woman
kind is in not knowing how to eat.
If man is not to be fed when she
is. she thinks cup of tea or any
thing handy good enough. If she
needs to save money. she does it at
the butchers cost. If she is busy,
she will not waste time in eating
If she is unhappy, she goes with
out food. A man eats if the brok-
er's man is at the door. if his work
drives. if the undertaken interrupts;
and he is right.
A woman will choose ice cream
instead of beefsteak, and man will
not. Another of her mistakes is
not knowing how to rest. If she
is tired she may sit down, but she
will darn stockings, crochet shawls
embroidery doilies. She doesn't
know that hard work tires If she
is exhausted, she will write letters
or figure her accounts. She would
laugh at you if you limited that
reading or writing could fail to rest
her. All over the country women's
hospitals flourish because women
do not know how to rest. Another
mistake on the list is their constant
worrying. Worry and hurry are
their enemies, and yet they hug
them to their bosoms

A Distinct Loss To San Francisco.

San Francisco, Aug. Is. The
sudden death of Charles Fair and
his wife by collapse of their au-
tomobile in France esterday
means great loss to San Fran
cisco. Just before his departure
for Europe Charles Fair had
practically completed plans for
S5, 600, 600 worth of improves
ments to the Far property here
and it was his intention on his re-
turn from Europe to sign con
tracts for the work.
The matter of the disposition
of, the estate of the dead million
aire and his wife has gwen rise
to some little speculation as to
what will become of Charles
Fair S portion of his deceased
fathers immense holdings. 1t is
known that Il short time ago both
Mr.. and Mrs. Fair made wills
disposing of their seperate hold
ings and the common property,
but just what the documents pro
vide for, the attorneys of Charles
Fair do not fell at liberty to make
public at this time.
Mrs. Fair was possessed of
property to the value of $3.50, 900,
and it isthought her Will bequeaths
her holdings to relatives in New
Jersey, but in the event of evl-
dence being adduced that Charles
Fair succumbed to his INJURIES
first, Mrs. Challe Fairs inter-
est in the common property will
naturally revert to her heirs, and
it is this point on which the dis
position of the mnllionaire's es-
tates largely depends.
