NOT ON MEAT.
Man Couldn't Regain Strength Until
He Changed to Grape Nuts.

It's common joke to say He eats
so much it makes him poor to carry 1t
around when speaking of some thin,
scrawny fellow who eats as much as a
horse, but it is frequently true if the
food is not the kind the body calls for.
A person might eat a ton of improper
food and never get an ounce of nourish-
nent from it but put them on Grape
Nuts diet and four teaspOonfuls of this
food (Which is all nourishment) quickly
brings pounds in weight and a fortune
in health and strength. This has been
proved over and over.
A German woman of Chicago gives
an instance in her own family. It's
briefly told but the truth is there: MY
husband lost his left hand in an ac-
cident and lost a terrible amount Of
blood, kept getting weaker for five
months and finally got a terrific cough.
He would eat big meals of meat and
potatoes to get well but didn't get any
good from them. Finally 1 persuaded
him to try Grape-Nuts food and from
skeleton of SO pounds he soon re-
gained his normal weight of 207 pounds
and is strong and well and declares he
wants no other food for the main part
of his meals.
las for myself my flesh was flabby,
tired so easily and my memory was so
poor I could keep nothing in my head
but after three months of the Grape
Nuts diet gained II pounds. my flesh
is hard and firm, am stronger and my
memory has improved wonderfully. I

many words of praise, it is not at all
likely that it will take this particular
criticism very seriously. American
people are not at all likely to kick
down the educational ladder by which
they have climbed to success. The
schoolmarm is peculiarly an American
institution, and she has long been close
to the American heart, and there she
will continue to remain.
It is true that women teachers out
number men teachers five to one. but
the result of that preponderance is
most satisfactory. The women
teachers of this country number over
half a million. the largest body Of
public servants in the land, and our
country may we'll be proud of their
work. Masculine leaven is doubtless
desirable in such a body, but few would
displace the great mass of women
teachers and substitute men. if such a
thing were practical and possible. We
do not believe tnat any naIf a mllllOn
men in the country could be selected
who would be SO patient, so self
sacrificing or so effective in teaching
the young as are this half a million
women. Woman is the natural teacher.
she has the qualities of heart, and the
qualities of brain which fit her for the
work. and the small boy of this country
is not at all in need. of the help of a
teacher to show him how to punch
another's head or have his own
punched in a healthy and proper
manner
If by feminiZation is meant an in
crease of refinement and a more COM
plete mastery over the wild beast that
is always in the masculine heart, then
this is something to be welcomed,
rather than an argument for decreasing
the number of women teachers.

The American SchooIma'am.

Not long ago a body of 26 eminent
English educators, known as the
Moseley commission. was sent to this
country by the British government to
Investigate the educational system of
the United States, and particularly the
common school system. Their report has
recently been made public, and it con-
tains great many things most
instance, the report admits that while
the average American school boy may
be less proficient in the book knowl-
edge than his English cousin, he uses
what he is taught in a much more
ready and efficient manner. and GER
tainly this is d; test of education.
But there is one thing in the report
which seems d little illogical and sur
prising. Ali but two of the 26 members
of the commission condemn the great
preponderance of women in the teach
ing force of the United States. AS this
10 ciic va tHt lIioSt NIldldCltTlSllC led-
| lures of our system. and as the results
as declared by the commission itself are
altogether satisfactory, it is little diff
ficLlt to see why this ground is taken
The reasons given do not seem suffi-
Gent to our minds, when member of
the commission declares that as re-
suit of excessive feminine influence
the boy in America is not being
brought up to punch another's head or
have his own punched in a healthy and
proper manner" and goes on to say
that an indefinable feminine air is
toward sexless tone and thought.
Now Uncle Sans domain has been
charged with many curious things by
European observers, but never before
was it held, and least of all by an
Englishman, that the men of this
country were lacking in agressiveness
and strenuousness. that our men or
boys were becoming ladylike. On the
contrary criticism has generally been
of quite the opposite tenor, that Young
America was virile and active even to
:, degree of being rude and on the look
out for trouble.
This commissioner says that he
favors women teachers for pupils up to
the age of II years. for the reason that
women claim the sympathies of
children i'm younger years, and UNDER
stand the workings of their minds in Il
way no man could, but beyond the age
of II he would have all pupils turned
over to the men. While this country
respects the opinion of the eminent edu-
Gators. who have visited it and in
spected its school system, and while it
is duly gratified and appreciates their

A Drama of Singers.

The blue Mediterranean; the starred Ital-
ian skies:
a soft guitar. and woman's voice and
Love in a woman'S eyes.
The spirits Of the valley-the phantoms
of the hill;
And Shelley on the grass there-singer
and dreamer STILL
II arise from dreams of thee
In the first, sweet sleep of night;
When the winds are breathing low,
And the stars are shining bright
blossom dim,
The stars that read their mysteries
their melodies to him:
Loved English accents ringinE-the dusk,
the blooms a-thrill.
And Ariel echoes in the soul of Shelley
singing still:
20, lift me from the grass
| die, l faint. l fall.
Let thy love in kisses rain
On my lips and eyelds pale"
Then woman's song. and poets song
music of years to be,
Die on the right: and weeping eyes watch
for ship at sea
And the Storm is in the Drama, and the
breakers as they beat,
And all that could die of the singer lies
dead at the woman's feet.
O. lift him from the grass,
And thick, we laurels! throng,
Where Italy holds England
Earth-heaven-in Shelley's song.
