Needn't Tell a Fib.

\ woman's age is her own secret, and
it is doubtful if anyone has Il right Ia
inquire into it. There are plenty OF
inquisitive persons-men and women, and
specially the latter-whC are perpetual
~ trying to find out that secret. One
member of the fair sex, with prema-
tureiy gray hair, tells how she escaped
answering impertinent question of the
character and at the same time conveys
the impression that she is younger than
she really is. Il think it is a foolish
fashion that so many women indulge,
that of telling their age wrongly" said
she. Il can honestly say that | never
practice it myself
MOP" said her friend, with many
meanings in the mOnoSyllable.
Well" said the first speaker with q
smile-she was woman with sense
of humor-"the fact is, l don't have to-
| have a way of making myself out
Younger than | am, if | wish to, without
telling a fib at all.
Really" inquired the other curiouslyi
Gin what way"
Il put the burden of the fib all upon
the Questioner. You see, when one of
my dear woman friends-it is always
women who are curious on this point
asks me how old | am l say: oh. I'm
year or two older than you, you know,
any dear-et least Il year older. Let me
see, now, how old are you? And then
she always knocks more off my age than
I should ever have the nerve to do my
self. New Orleans Picayune.

Typewriter Letters
Not Liked by omen.

to my writing them, but I've kept up the
practice for three summers and she is
getting used to it. | can get so much

citation Of typewriter letters about five
years ago and now it doesn't make any
difference whether her friends say things
about my apparent lack of gallantry or
not, For the life of me | can't see why
women object to typewriter letters, that
is, personal letters, any way"
Nor me, was the reply. ''But the
majority do. They say, SO my wife tells
me, that typewriter letters are so cold
and formal and business-lke. They lack
the personal touch and all that sort Of
sentimental rot. Now l think the nice
things look just as nice when they are
typewriter as when they are written
with a pen. and the prosaic parts like

college Women and Matrimony.

The discussion as to the comparative
childlessness of college educated women
receives new turn in the current Pop
MAR Science Monthly. A graduate of
only a few years standing writes that
If her classmates none who has married
has failed to become the mother of a
healthy child within two years of mar
rage. Her thesis is chat the type of the
average college girl has undergone an i'm
portant change within very few years,
aud that this change warrants a very
nue.. brighter outlook for the future
The college girl of the older days was
usually one whom some exceptional stress
of circumstances forced to make the in
,ellectual side of life predominant, to the
sacrifice of other interests, from the
grammar school up. This abnormal de-
ypopment. of course, tended to produce
physical i'll health and consequently I'M
illness for motherhood. even if it did not
result in actual sterility. But with the
rapidly increasing tendency of the sex
10 seek the higher education apart from
any special stress of circumstances, the
type of the college girl is creasing to be
abnormal. and in marriage and mother
hood, as in other things, we may expect
in the future TO see the average college
alumna just as ordinary woman, plus
somewhat more than the ordinary
amount of formal educatiOn.-Selected.

WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK
The Child Problem In Minneapolis.
To the Editor Of The Journal.

To the Editor Of The Journal.
The recent comments in T he our
n concerning the child as worker and
as loafer and criminal, lead one to ask
what is the relation between these two
aspects, also what are some of the causes
which produce the latter class, and posi-
BILE remedies? Is Minneapolis doing any
thing or are we just looking on?
The winters experience in investigating
the applications of labor permits, that is,
permits for children under 16 to go to
work, has shown that there is an init
mate relation between the child as worker
and as loafer and criminal. Children who
go to work are simply taking the places
Of their older brothers, sisters and fathers,
and the brothers and sisters and fathers
| of other children; and that an unneces-
sarily large number go to work is shown
| by the fact that out of 121 applications
for permits, it was, after careful inquiry,
found necessary to grant only thirty
] three.
This condition of children supplanting
| their elders was illustrated repeatedly in
individual cases. For instance boy OF
IA asking to take a place at 81 day,
while his brother of IS was-not loafing-
just out of work; boy of IL with 81
a day job and a 16-year-old boy across the
street out of work
But the larger evil is the great number
of children neither in school nor at work
and, as the deputy commissioner OF
labor has said, it is impossible for one
truant officer to cover the city. Many
cities have what are called school atten-
| dance officers, whose duty it is to become
/ familiar with the children of the district
and see that they attend regularly. To this
officer the teacher reports all continued
4 absences. When a child is persistently
absent, he is turned over to truant of
ficer. In this way preventive as well as
curative work is done. 1t is evident tina
| the community should support the schoo
board in enforcing the existing child la
Dor laws by stronger truancy system
A deep view of the entire question. on,
reaching young people above the child la
Dor age limit, reveals fundamental de

An open Letter.

An open Letter.
To the Street Commissioner and City
Council-If you want anything done, the
only way to get it done is to do it, or to
keep up howl until it is done.
Some few years ago Stevens avenue was
in most horrible condition. Travel on it
had been abandoned, the council and street
commissioner were pelted with friendly
words Eve do not believe in war, not even
a war of words) that gave them to under
stand that we wanted good roads. AS an
evidence of our earnestneSs in the matter
we promised the council an automobile
ride on the avenue in an automobile that
would surmount the loose blocks, jump
the deep ruts and the dangerous holes, and
we agreed, if they passed thru the ordeal
without being seasick, that we would give
them certificate that they could cross
the British channel without casting up
accounts. Finally the avenue was grav-
eled and made in a good condition, SO
that it was a pleasure to ride on it.
But every year since. the overseer has
been hauling off the covering until to-day
the street is in a most deplorable condi-
ton. Unless something can be DONE we
fear we will have to renew our offer to
the committee on roads and bridges tc
take another ride. This time guess we
will have a buffet department attached
so, If we cannot make the trip in a day
we will not suffer. But, laying all jokes
aside, it is time there was some attention
paid to the condition of the street.

The principal Of a high school In a

For twenty-three years l worked
in the school with only short summer

ing rapidly, masticated poorly, which,
coupled with my sedentary work, led
to Indigestion. liver trouble, lame
back and rheumatism.
Upon consulting physicians some
doped me with drugs, while others
prescribed dieting and sometimes got
temporary relief, other times not. For
twelve years / struggled along with
this handicap to my work, seldom laid
up but often a burden to myself with
lameness and rheumatic pains.
1.-TWO years ago l met an old friend,
q physician who noticed at once my
t-of-health condition and who pre-
Scribed for me an exclusive diet OF
Grape Nuts, milk and fruit.
II followed his instructions and in
two months felt like a new man with
no more headaches, rheumatism or
liver trouble and from that time to
this Grape-Nuts has been my main

poets to begin sinking an exploratory
shaft in thirty or sixty days. If they

drills what they hope to. .they may
in HE drill holes and it has thus far
been impossible to make a clean hole
through the ore body. This makes it
impossible 10 ascertain the depth or
width. Four drill holes are in ore.
The drilling covers Il distance OF ], 400
feet on the formation.
"'rhe general results of the drilling
on Section 80 have been very satisfac-
tory" said Mr.. Lonstorf. But ow.
ing TO the granular character of the
ole we are unable to drive the drills
through the ore body in such a
way as To make clean hole. The ore
we are in on Section 80 corresponds to
that in the Chandler mine.
