The Girl Who Does
Not Get on Well with Men.

Very often the girl who does not get
ON well with men is selt-conscious. or,
perhaps, She tries to be smart or is too
much given to laughing ut the wrong
time.
There is one thing NEST men cannot
stand. and that is being laughed at; they
like the girl who laughs with them: they
have no use for the one who laughs at
them.
y sense of humor is 4 very delightful
quality, but | do not believe that it en-
hanees girls charm much in the eyes
of Z man.
The self-conscious girl never gets far
enough away from herself to be popular;
She is conscious of her looks, her speech.
her actions; She is all Self, with a CAPT
tai s.
In order to be popular with men. or
women either for that matter it is neccs-
AIRY to put self in the background and
make the other person the central point
of interest.
The girl who is absolutely natural and
unaffected is pretty sure to be popular
II she grows Independent and tiippant
She loses her popularity.
DO not think that you must always
nave smart answer ready. Clever re
p'sstee is all very we'll in its way. but
You can get on just as well without it,
II You want the men to like YOU leave
all the funny business to them; your , art
70 be gentle, sweet and loyabie.
Never make fun of men when talking
% a man; he will naturally imagine that
YOU talk of him in the same way.
Men always fight shy of the girl who
Is very witty AT other peoples expense.
They enjoy having her with them when
IN a crowd: She is what they call good
fellow, but they don't fall in love with
her.
\ girl need not feel that she is stupid
cha or oil
~ remark with one of like kind. AS
long as she appears bright and interested
she will get on we'll enough.
Nothing is more tiresome than the per-
son who attempts to he funny; wit is
spontaneous; it cannot be manufactured
In order.
Pelhaps another fault of the unpopular
2lIl IS that she is too independent.
The clinging. absolutely dependent girl
Is thing of the past; in these strenuous
days she is bound to 20 to the wall.
There is happy medium, however: a
S.fl who is modest and self-reliant, with
out being too assertivc. She does not
forget her womanbood. nor yet is she
constantly taking advantage of it.
Men like the girl who Acknowledges
'heir superior strength and IS willing To
'eier to their opinions in matters which
could.
You all know. girls. how nice il is to
nave a man whom you care for perform
little thoughtful acts of kindness and
,'qrtesy. for you. Well. if you are too
independent no man will care to treat
Won in that way.

For the Woman Who Needs Money.

In the hasty scramble among women
for something e DO the most important
considerations are often forgotten. The
woman who secures employment must be
! able to do some one thing better than
nost women, and her method of doing
must be new and original. Let a woman
remember that it is in the untrodden
fields that flowers grow; If she climbs the

where one is in attendance, but to sup
plement and to strengthen his efforts
in prescribing fresh air, food, etc.
State aid in the establishment of SAN
atoria for ~consumptives is most inn
portant. 1t is possible for the state to
provide for only a small fraction of the
consumptive poor, but the educational
value OF two or three sanatoria in diff
ferent parts of the state would be in
calculable. 1t would be an object les
son to the people of the state in the care
OF such cases; through it they would
learn the value of the open air treat
ment, good hygiene, and nutritious food
as well as rest. Fortunately the cost OF
such sanatoria is not great, as elab-
crate and expensive buildings are not
necessary. A simple though durable
construction on the colony plan, in
which the patients pass the whole time
in the open air, or as nearly as may be,
is all that is required. These s~anatoria
would furnish object lessons to the peo-
pie of the state on the management of
tuberculosis which, after all, must be the
main reliance in preventing the spread
of the disease. The early and prompt
restoration of all durable cases is the
most important item.
Above all the profession in the rural
district should rise to the Importance
of the occasion and there should be es-
tablished by physicians throughout the
state private sa%natoria for the treat
ment of consumption. All that is re-
Quired is a suitable site, arrangements
for feeding patients and a simple med
ical equipment. Tents have been DEM
onstrated to be by far the best dwelling
places for tu%berculous patients, and it
is possible to have patients dwell in
them the entire year., even in a climate
as severe as ours.
The state owes something to its de-
pendents confined in asylums, as well
as those in prison. The mortality from
tuberculosis in public institutions is far
too high. Already steps have been
taken in certain institutions to obviate
the large death rate from this disease.
The New York state hospital for the
insane on Wards Island has demon
strated the value of outdoor treatment
for the t~uberculous insane, and steps
should at once be instituted to meet the
requirements of the institutions in the
state of Illinois.
To sum up, the duty of the state in re-
lation to tuberculosis at this time is:
% The establishment of a state lab
oratory for the examination of sputum
which would be available for both the
profession and the citizens of the state.
An adjunct to this would be the dissem-
ination of correct ideas on the manage
ment of t~uberculous cases and the
avoidance of infection.
GU The establishment of one or more
sanatoria largely for the educational eff
feet, and not with the hope of caring for
any considerable number of consump-
tives, but to demonstrate that hygienic
and home treatment in our climate is
successful and practical.
60 Drastic legislation such as COM
pulsory notification of tuberculous
cases, the quarantine of tuberculosis or
other measures which teach that the in
dividual consumptiye is a danger to
those about him are to be deprecated,
and are against the interests, not only or
the consumptive himself, but they 90
not protect his associates.

TURN OVER TIME
When Nature Hints About Food.

When there's no relish to anyfood and
all that one eats doesn't seem to do any
good then is the time to make a turn
over in the diet, for that's Natures way
of dropping a hint that the food isn't the
kind required.
For a number of years I followed
railroad work, much of 1t being office
work of a trying nature. Meal times
were our busiest and eating too much
and too quickly of food such as is COM
monty served in hotels and restaurants.
these together with the %sedentary habits
were not long in giving me dyspepsia
and stomach trouble which reduced my
weight from 205 to 100 pounds.
There was little relish in any food and
none of it seemed to do me any good. 1t
seemed the more / ate the poorer l got
and was always hungry before another
meal. no matter how much had eaten.
.Then | commenced a fair trial OF
Grape-Nuts and was surprised how a
small saucer Of it would carry me along,
strong and with satisfied appetite, until
fhe next meal, with no sensations OF
hunger, weakness or distress as before.
81 have been following this diet 0
for several months and my Improvement
has been SO great all the others in my
family have taken up the use of Grape
Nuts with complete satisfaction and
much improvement in health and brain
power.
