THEIR LIVES ARE MARROW.
Women Of Spain Do But Little to
Identify Themselves as
Bread Winners.

Although I see much to admire in
the women of my country, | am fire.
quently saddened by their lack of edu-
cation, says Lieut. Col. Ferretti, in
Lady's Pictorial. | ask myself, what
could we not expect of Spain it the moth
ers of our men were versed in the great
history of humanity. and capable, like
the women of other lands, of feeling an
interest in the affairs of state and of
conversing with men on the sacrifices
necessary for the welfare of the nation?
regret that my countrywomen are
so little inclined to travel, for, being very
appreciative and initiative, they would
learn much that would beautify their
lives. But with the inertia peculiar to
our land they always continue in the
same groove, visit year after year the
same watering places of the peninsula,
where they always meet the same peo-
pie. My countryworen would be aston
ished if they saw the ladies' clubs in
London and the fields of activity open to
women in England. What might they
not learn from the maxims engraved on
the walls of the Pioneer club in London:
"In small things liberty, in great things
unity, in all things charity!"
The simple, somewhat fantastic way
in which some Spanish women seek in
their limited way to identify themselves
with the breadwinner's work is seen in a
photograph of the wife of Senior A.
Palaclo Va1des, the eminent novelist,
whose translated works, "The Grandee,"
"The Fourth Estate" ETC., are we'll
known in England and America. Here
we see the young Sevillan lady, for she is

BEAUTIES OF HOLY LAND.
Recent Visitor to Palestine Paints
Picture of the Country in
Lurid Colors.

IN the Sunday Magazine, of London,
Archdeacon Sinclair, who was there re-
Gently gives a glowing description of
Palestine:
Il was struck" he says, "by its spe-
cial and wonderful beauty. The sun
is the magician of the holy land, paint
ing its plains and hills with the love-
Hest hues and lighting up all with mag
nifcent splendor at sunrise and sunset.
The country is far more mountainous
than / had realized Then, again. there
was great beauty in the fountains and
streams, pure and clear, from lime
stone country, and sometimes flowing
with great freedom. Perhaps the
browning feature of beauty in the north
of Palestine are the glorious snow-clad
slopes of Mount Hermon, which can be
seen from the top of every pass among
the hills, glittering and cleaning in
the pure blue vault"
The flowers particularly struck DR..
Sinclair, who finds it impossible to do
justice to their beautyand brilliancy.

CLUE NOTES.

Hayesville, Or. David H. Reed
er, Laporte, Ind-Dear Sir: Please
give in the Home Health Club depart
ment the indications and treatment for
locomotor ataxia. My legs seem so
weak, and I am so lean in flesh. You
gave in your lecture on June % direc-
tons for reducing flesh; please give
directions for gaining flesh.
I am q club member, and, as I have
two homes, I left my record number at
the other end of the line. A. N.
1t is by no means clear from your
letter that you have locomotor ataxia,
as simply weakness of the legs and
loss of flesh would not be enough evil
dence. Locomotor ataxia is a disease
that is commonly due to an affection of
the spinal cord, and while unsteadi-
ness of gait is the most common symp-
tom of all, yet merely weakness in
the lower eXtremities does not indi-
cate the disease. It is not possible for
me to give a full description of the
malady in SO short space as I am
here allotted, but if you will write me
more fully regarding your symptoms
I may be able to give you other direc-
tons which will be more satisfac-
tory.
In regard to gaining flesh I will
state that I have intended to write
something about this subject for a
long time, and probably will do so
ere long. Loss of flesh may be due
to SO many causes that it offers quite
a field for writing. In your case let
me suggest as the first requisite for
the gain of flesh, the injunction:
Do Not Worry.
You probably never saw a large,
heavy person. of nervous, excitable
temperament, and nearly every indi-
vidual you have ever seen with that
kind of temperament has been thin
In this world of many cares we per-
nit ourselves to be easily worried, and
expend very large part of the nutri-
ton that comes into our stomach in
nervous waste.
Do Not Worry.

there is limit of sensibility to all
cold impressions. Another peculiar eff
feet is due to the combination of press
ure and temperature, cold water pro-
ducing greater sensation of press
ure than hot water. The stimulation
of cold is much more readily sensed
than that of heat, being felt almost IN
stantly, While the latter must act Tor
a certain period Of time before it is
perceptible, and then is gradually felt,
although, of course, the time en-
ployed in the sensation is extremely
short.
Water is one of the very best media
for conveying temperature to the
body, as the nerves are much more af-
fected by good conductors of heat than
by poor ones. Different sensations of
temperature are produced by different
substances that are of the same tenn
perature. the impressions from good
conductors of heat being much more
intense.
Painful impressions of heat are not
appreciated until temperature of 100
degrees is reached, and the body is
more sensitive to slighter changes Of
heat and cold near the temperature of
the blood, namely from so to 80 degrees.
Sudden changes from heat to cold,
everyone knows, the more shocking to
the nervous system than the constant
application of either one, because the
temperature sense may become IA
tigued in the latter case. Like all
other senses this one may be cultivated
to distinguish finer sensations, as anyone
may learn with little practice.
Now when it is remembered that
the nerves that produce the tempera-
ture sensation are connected with the
brain and spinal cord centers that
control the heat of the body it will be
readily seen how important is line
of treatment that acts directly on the
temperature sense as does hydro
therapy When it is considered that
the arteries and veins are controlled
by nerves that dilate and contract
those vessels when properly stimu-
lated, it will be seen that any stimula-
ton from the surface of the body will
have wonderful effect on any part
that may not be performing its nor
NAL functions. Thus it is at once ap-
parent that by changes in pressure or
temperature at the surface, some most
remarkable physiological results may
be obtained. and it is with these that
hydrotherapy deals.

BUILDING FOOD
To Bring the Babies Around.

When a little human machine Tor a
large one( goes wrong, nothing is so
important as the selection of food
which will always bring it around
again.
"My little baby boy fifteen months
old had pneumonia, then came brain
fever, and no sooner had he got over
these than he began to cut teeth and,
being so weak, he was frequently
thrown into commissions" says
Colorado mother.
81 decided a change might help, SO
took kiIa to Kansas City for visit.
When we got there he was so very
weak when he would cry he would
sink away and seemed like he would
die.
when / reached my sisters home
she said Immediately that we must
FEED him Grape-Nuts and, although |
had never used the food, we got some
and for 4 few days gave him just the
Juice of Grape-Nuts and milk. He got
stronger so quickly we were soon
feeding him the Grape-Nuts itself and
in a wonderfully short time he fat-
tened right up and became strong and
well.
''That showed me something worth
knowing and, when later on my girl
came, raised her on Grape-Nuts and
she is strong, healthy baby and has
been. You will see from the little
photograph I send you what a strong,
chubby youngster the boy is now, but
he didn't look anything like that be-
fore we found this nourishing food.
Grape-Nuts nourished him back to
strength when he was so weak he
couldn't keep any other food on his
stomach" Name given by Postum
Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
All children can be built to more
sturdy and healthy condition upon
Grape-Nuts and cream. The food con-
tains the elements nature demands,
from which to make the soft gray
filling in the nerve centers and brain.
A we'll fed brain ard strong, sturdy
nerves absolutely insure a healthy
body.

little book. "The Road to Wellville."

REPORTED OF RAILWAYS.

Railroads in Argentina are making
favorable progress, 1t is repocted, I'M
der the direction of English capital
lists.
For several years record has been
kept of the wear of locomotive wheels
on the Danish state railways. The
single drivers are found to run better
than four-coupled. the latter better
than six-coupled, and in all cases wear
is increased by flimsiness of road.
The Prussian state railroads during
their fiscal year ending with March
last earned $24 ,O13,962 more than dur
ing the previous year, a seven per cent.
increase. This is nearly $30,0OO,00O
more than was estimated when the
year began, there having been mean
while a marked improvement in busi-
ness in the country.
The German government railroad
exhibit at the st. Louis fair shows the
block system and switch signals now
in use in Germany. More than $500
feet of track. in the construction OF
which both iron and wooden ties were
used, have been laid. There are sta
ton house, two switch towers and one
intermediate block signal post.
Since 1880 the population of the
south has increased about go per cent,
while it's manufactured products have
increased by 251 per cent Railroad
mileage has increased 191 per cent,
and the production of pig iron 731 per
cent. In the coal industry alone the
output has jumped since 1880 from
$4,000 annually to $62,000.000. The
development has been steady In all
lines.
The last railroad built in India has
American rails. Americans export
their iron and motors, their machinery,
and galvanic wires to South Africa,
Egypt, too has more than one Phila-
delphia bridge. Three hundred rail
road cars from Jersey City have found
their way into the land of the Pha-
raohs, and in the foundries of Pitts
burg electrical tramways were forged
to connect Cairo with the pyramids.
The Oroyo railroad, which now runs
from Callao to the gold fields of Cerro
de Pasco, is considered one of the Won
ders in the Peruvian world. Com
mencing in Callao. it ascends the mar
row valley of the Rimac, rising nearly
5000 feet In the first Sc miles. Thence.
1t goes through the intricate gorges OF
the Sierras till 1t tunnels the Andes at
an altitude of 15,645 feet. the highest
point In the world where piston rod
is moved by steam. This elevation Ia
reached in 78 miles.

They marked the Little Doll "unsold,"
And land her i'm some dreary room
To wait, through hours of dark and coIo'
Until a better day should come.
To them, she only seemed dumb,
Wax thing-they could not read aright
A truth too fragile for their sight.
Only the eyes Of childhood see
Beneath the dusty facts of life
A wonder-worId forever rife
With beauty and with mystery;
Our "little dolls are far behind
When the long years have made us bLlnd!
The Little Gir1-God called one day,
And drew her footsteps up toward HIM;
From play and little plans of play
She passed into the shadows dim.
She had no fretful word to say,
No last reproach that none had given
The joy her heart had bled to hold;
With tiny passion all untold
She went, unfaltering, the way
The far, forgetful way-to Heaven.
Upon the quiet. childish breast,
And in the yielding arms they laid
Fair buds and blossoms for her rest
For all the silent, idle hours
A wealth Of costly, fragrant flowers
"She loved the flowers best" they said:
Living she loved them best, and dead
She would most wish to hold them so,
They thought-Ah. well, they did not know!

All trim ap4 greet and debonair
In dainty Sc III Of silk and lace,
The Little Doll stood leaning where
Each passer-by might see her face.
She seemed contented in her place;
She smiled upon the busy street
Out of a cloud Of haxen hair;
From bright blue eyes to slippered feet
She looked so happy none would guess
She had a moments loneliness
Or wished a moment she might pass
Beyond the shining prison glass.
The Little Girl who loved her well
Knew what the doily's longings were;
There was no need of speech TO tell
That simple tale, it seemed to her.
She stood without, comforter
Uncontrolled, with arms that yearned
TO clasp and keep forbidden joy.
We going quickly past, discerned
Only a gay, beribboned toy;
But she who fingered understood;
And all the world went by unheard,
So deep the mother in her stirred.
