LOVE DIES.

Mrs. Ella Wheeler Wilcox says there
comes time in the course of married love
when "the thrill goes out of the hand
clasp and the kiss at times, and it is then
that husband and wife may be susceptible
to other magnetic personalities" The rea-
son for this condition of affairs is often the
fault of the husband, but how often is it
not due to the wife's nervousness and irri-
liability due to some trouble with the or
gans peculiarly ferinine-the wife under
such circumstances feels languid aud spir-
itless-she suffers perhaps from headache

MILLERS HOPEFUL

CONFERENCE IN NEW YORK
GIVES PROMISE,
President of Millers' National FEEDER
alton Wires the Northwestern
Miller He Believes Arguments of
Minneapolis Men Have Opened New
Era for Milling Industry.

Minneapolis millers are extremely
hopeful that good results will follow
the rate conference held Tuesday in
New York between the trunk line
traffic managers and representatives
OF the milling industry. A revision of
rates which would place export wheat
and flour on more nearly equal foot
ing was sought by the millers, who
| were represented by Charles Espens-
| chied Of St. Louis, president of the
| Millers' National Federation; Secre-
| tary L. T. Jamme and Charles G.
Bovey of the Washburn-Crosby COM
pany, Minneapolis. The Northwestern
Miller has Geographic reports from
the milling representatives. Mr..
| Bovey wires:
'We are convinced this meeting
has carried our cause long way
| toward success. The managers now
fully understand the relation between
wheat and flour. We believe trunk
lines really desire to help us and that
favorable action in the near future
will be taken demonstrating the effect
of our arguments. We have made
strong impression. Mr.. Jamme has
| done good work and this meeting
proves that the federation can accom-
plish more than individuals"
President Espenschied is even more
optimistic than Mr.. Bovey. He tele-
graphs: "Splendid work done by
Jamme, backed by Bovey's able argu-
ments, have, I believe, opened new
era for the milling business" The
Miller says:
1t remains to be seen if the action of the
carriers will substantiate the hopes and
expectations of the millers' representa-
tives They have it in their power to build
up anew the export flour trade; a parity
OF rates with grain under any and al
circumstances would help, but d1fferen-
tial slightly favoring the manufactured
product, would be better and, indeed, con
sidering all the circumstances. would be
an act of simple justice. The Northwest
ern Miller devoutly hopes that the traffic
managers will end this long standing con-
| tention, by firmly establishing the status
Of export flour on basis which, If it does
not favor the American miller, will, al
least, not discriminate In favor of his
foreign competitor. If this be DONE there
will follow a genuine revival in the export
trade, not alone Of flour, but Of wheat as
we'll,

Mellin's Food booth. Among the hun
dreds of baby pictures in this booth,
there are twenty pictures Of boys and

get the $3.50 offered by the Mellin's

the pictures.
There are two very handsome oil
