 banded together against the pretty women.
 Few beings are nowadays regarded with more suspicion and dread by their would be admirers of the opposite sex. The old desire. wherever a man saw a beautiful face to rush in and conquer has given way to a shrinking from her pres ence and a seeking out by the general body of men of those less dazzling in their outward charms but possessing more lasting inward characteristics, says recent writer.
 The pretty woman, in fact, reigns now chiefly in mans eyes. He is content to watch her glide to and fro, to be silent observer of her progress, not to rashly seek her hand in matrimony.
 For the pretty woman is, to put 1t bluntly, a matrimonial failure She does not concern herself about the business of getting married, and when one party Is neglectful in this respect there must be disaster.
 Just as a man before popping the ques- ton must energetieally see that his busi- ness position justiies him in setting up a home, so a woman has many things which it is her duty to heed.
 Certain qualities of domesticity, pa tience, amiability unselfshness, are es- sential to her entering into bond with a man.
 A plain woman has well pondered over this. She has asked herself if she is really fit to be a mans wife and has concerned herself not with the question: ''is he good enough for me? but "am I good enough for him?'
 But with the pretty woman, the reverse is the case.
 There are few more distressing specta- cles than the young girl who has just awakened to the fact that she is beau tiful It will, in most cases, effectively blot out many of her good points. Before the dread discovery she has gone the ordinary way of girls, making herself use full and accomplished.
 Then she really gets to know she Is pretty. She now knows definitely why all the young men stare at her as she walks down the street. It Is no longer, as she once thought, mere rudeness, but admiration
 This impression grows ints delusion. She begins to picture the world at her feet. The question Is not ::What man will marry me?" but .What man is good enough to dare pay me attentlon?"
 There Is no longer any reason for her to be domestlcated or accomplished. She has a far greater asset than this-her beauty, And so she sails on, probably in time courted by every one.

FOOD vs. DRUGS. A Drug Mans Wisdom That Counts.


 It's a shrewd man who, while in the drug business, learns that although drugs are all right in their place, the use of proper food will make medicine unneces- sary In the majority of cases.
 "Traveling through various towns. " writes a drug salesman from Lancaster, Pa, drinking different waters to which l was not accustomed, eating strangely prepared meals at irregular hours 1 con tracted dyspepsia, accompanied by nerv- ousness. loss of sleep and consequent loss of energy. I often had the 'blues.' that indescribably tough feeling which makes one look on the dark side of every pict- ure and see the shadows of life rather than the substance. imagine the thousand calamities that were never in existence, and so render life almost unbearable. Many thousands of men under the cir cumstances would have resorted to stimu- lation from drugs or liquor.
 l happened to read an article on Grape Nuts about case similar to my own and determined to give the food a trial IL agreed with me from the start and the miserable distress that usually came af- ter eating did not manifest itself when 1 ate Grape-Nuts. l asked for this food at every hotel at which I stopped and made 1t the principal part of the meal My stomach soon got so that could eat any Kind or rlcn 1000 Tn connection with Grape-Nuts without 1t distressing me. My dyspepsia and nervousness disappeared and life looked bright and happy once more. I am now well, healthy, happy and able to work sixteen hours out of the twenty-four, and can sleep like a healthy child the other eight hours.
 My family soon tires of mushy cereals but we never tire of Grape-Nuts. The children thrive on 1t and enjoy 1t. You may publish this if you think it will en- courage others to try Grape-Nuts instead of medicine or spirituous remedies that stimulate the system for a time but do not build it up."

MISS GOCKEL TO MAKE
 DEBUT IN CINCINNATI

Miss Edna GocSel, the brilliant young piano vertuoso, will make her profession al debut as a concert pianist on the even- ing of February F at the Auditorium in Cincinnati.
 Miss Gockel left Birmingham Sunday night for Cincinnati, where she will re- main until the middle of February. Her debut will be made under the most fat tering auspices. She will be accompanied by the Cincinnati Symphony orchestrs. Miss Gockel will play Scharwenka's latest concerto.
 It will be recalled that the young musi- elan, fresh from her Berlin triumphs, selected this concerto for the occasion of her home" debut at the musical festival in Birmingham, when she was accompan- jed by the Thomas orchestra. As im- portant an event as that was, 1t of course lacked in the significance that will be at tached to her professional debut as con cert pianist in Cincinnati
 Recently some English friends of Miss Gockel attended a recital at the Conser- vatory in Berlin, and heard the concerto played by one of Scharwenka's teachers.
 Scharwenka afterwards remarked in company of friends that the last time he had listened to this work it was played with more feeling and with more perfect technique than ever before at a Conser- vatory concert
 "Ah! who was the performer?" came from a dozen voices.
 Miss Gockel of the United States" was the masters reply

Richmond, Virginia.
MAY NOT NEED THE $5oo,ooo. Attorney General Knox Suggests an Assistant and Two Stenographers.

Washington January 2O.-The appro- priations committee of the senate and house, each. has received letter from Attorney General Knox, suggesting a change in the appropriation of $5OO,OOO to be expended under the direction of the attorney general in the enforcement of the Sherman antitrust act and laws amendatory thereof, which passed the house on December IT last.
 The attorney general suggests that an act be passed for the appointment of an assistant to the attorney general, q new office, one additional assistant attorney general and two expert and confidential stenographers. With this additional force Attorney General Knox believes that a much smaller sum than $500,OOO would be adequate for the purpose in- tended and that the results would be in every way more satisfactory than could be obtained by the employment of special counsel.
