HONEST CONFESSION.
A Doctors Talk on Food.

n OoCIOCS 5 ] ak OF FOOOs
There are no fairer set of men on
earth than the doctors, and when they
find they have been in error they are
usually apt to make honest and man.
ly confession of the fact.
A case in point is that Of an emf
nent practitioner, one of the good
old school, who lives in Texas. His
plain, unvarnished tale needs no
dressing up:
"I had always had an intense preju-
dice, which can see now was un-
warrantable and unreasonable, against
all muchly advertised foods. Hence,
I never read line of the many ads
of Grape-Nuts, nor tested the food till
last winter.
while in Corpus Christi for my
health, and visiting my youngest son,
who has four of the ruddiest, health
lest little boys l ever saw, I ate my
first dish of Grape-Nuts food. for
supper with my little grand
sons. became exceedingly fond
of it and have eaten pack
age of, it every week since, and ind it
a delicious, refreshing and strengthen
ing food, leaving no ill effects whatev-.
er. causing no quotations with which
was formerly much troubled), no
sense of fullness, nausea, nor distress
of stomach in any way.
"There is no other food that agrees
with me so well, nor sits as lightly or
pleasantly upon my stomach as this
does. l am stronger and more active
since l began the use of Grape-Nuts
than have been for 10 years, and am
no longer troubled with nausea and
indigestion" Name given by Postum

Styles in Hairdressinq.

A commendable feature of the hair
dressing styles of to-day is the lati-
tude permitted maid and matron. The
arrangement OF the hair that is best
suited to the face is the style so far
as the individual is concerned, and
while the low coiffures is now seen
more frequently than for some time
heretofore the high style is by no
means out of date and it is simply
a matter Of choice and becomingness.
For evening particularly is the high
coiffure retained, the prevailing style
of hats being better adapted to the
low arrangement of the hair for less
ceremonious occasions and street
wear

Though more than usually indis.
posed he went through his part with
great difficulty. Once during the per.
formance the company could not but
see that he was convulsed, but he
passed it off with forced laugh.
When it was over he left the stage,
saying to his friends, "The cold is
killing me-" He was wrapped up
warmly and his chair man sent to
convey him to his home. No sooner
was he in bed than he was seized with
violent fit of coughing which brought
on a hemorrhage, and he died before
his wife could reach his side. His last
words were to, assure his friends that
the hemorrhage was not alarming in
any way and urging them to take cour-
age. ~. -5..~s, = HI.

Many persons have given up grow
ing ferns in POTS on account of poor
success with them. They get fine
plants from the florist and in a few
months they go to pieces. There are
but a few things to know in order to
keep ferns in good condition, and
have them increase in beauty from
year to year, says an authority. They
must be grown in moist atmosphere
If kept in hot, dry room they will do
no good. For this reason they do
poorly in rooms heated by steam or
hot water, unless provision is made
for adding moisture to the air. A
room heated by hot-air heater which
has an evaporating pan is the best for
ferns. Also the soil must be kept
moist at all times, yet be well drained.
The soil should be made up of peaty
loan, one part, and leaf mold one part,
and a handful of bone-meal to pot.

Last Nom nts Of moliere

There is a pathetic account of Mo-
liere's last appearance, which shows
the supreme courage which sickness
could not dissipate and which was a
part of him till death. His health had
long been failing and he had suffered
for years with a distressing cough,
which rapidly became worse. On the
day Of the third presentation of lie
Malade Imaginare, 1873. he was so ill
that his wife and friends entreated
him not to perform. But he was deaf
to their appeals. what can I do?" he
said. "There are forty worl1men who

Then have We seen the mining camp
They're building over yon?
Twas suddenly created there
Between the night and dawn.
They built it by the glinting light
OF gold, beside the street,
And they built it on the desert
Where the desolatiOnS meet.
And mountain rocks and lesser rocks
Berib the rugged scene,
And some are hard and golden rich,
And some are hard and lean.
There's not enough of water there
To bicker down a rill,
But stronger drink, Of vicious red,
Flows ever up the hill.
The homes of mud or canvas-like
The dice Of fortunes throw
Are scattered on the ups and downs
OF rush and fever row.
And fifty hundred men are there,
And twenty hunderd mules,
And twenty dozen gambling halls
And twenty hundred fools.

Effective Neuliqee.

A simple but effective negligee of
pink liberty satin falls in straight robe
fashion from the shoulders, with a
ruche of the same material running
around the bottom of the skirt, around
the neck and down the 'front.'. where it
opens over a petticoat of white lace.
The garment is slightly low and
square in the neck, and a deep lace
collar falls over the shoulders and
back outside Of the ruche. The
sleeves, which end at the elbow. are
finished with ruche.

Seeking the Golden Dross

And have We seen the fling of chance
The men that luck will choose
The tyros here who win the gold,
The pundits there who lose?
And have ye seen the ancient shame
OF women lost to hope
That may not even walk to hell.
But weakly toward it grope?
And have We counted half the sum
OF pity and applause
The gods record who traffic not
With puny, human laws?
And wot We aught of tragedy
And comedy-the twain,
So fair and dark, and dark and fair,
That march beside the train?
Yet when you see that mining camp
(You can not miss the trail;
It's blazed with empty bottles and
With signs of fierce travaiD,
Regard the homes-the garden spots
That on the desert press
Where men of strength, with. womans
aid,
Subdue the Wilderness!

Treated Himself Successfully .a..
- When Doctors Failed.
Six physicians, all Of them good, one Of
for Mr.. Jones at different times during
three years. and still he suffered fear
fully from the tortures of rheumatism.
The rheumatism that had been dor
mant in his system was suddenly
brought to an acute stage. by exposure
while he was drawing ice i'll February,
1901. From that time on for period
Of more than three years he was a con-
stant sufferer. He tried many kinds of
treatment. but the rheumatism wouldn't
bulge. When regular doctors failed,
and one remedy after another proved
useless, many said: II should think he
would give it up and save his money"
OF his condition at this time, Mr..
Jones says: "My rheumatism started
in my right thigh, but in time it ap-
peared in every muscle of my body. I
lost the use of my left arm en-
tirely and nearly lost the use of my
right one. My feet were badly affected,
especially the bottoms of the heels.
When my right side was affected there
was swelling, but the left side didn't
swell when the disease settled there.
The internal organs didn't seem to ba
involved at all. The trouble was all in
the muscles and the nerves.
Among the few who still encouraged
Mr.. Jones to think that cure might
yet be found was friend who had rea-
son for great confidence in DR.. Will
1iams' Pink Pills, and acting on her
advice he bought box of them in Sep
telnber, 1904. The story of what fol-
lowed is brief. but nothing could be
more satisfactory.

Mr.. Jones, II could realize a change for
the better. felt sure. then that DR..

medicine for my case. I kept on with

out a complete list of the exhibitors.
The display this year will be greater
and better than ever before.

A good list Of vaudeville attractions
win be provided. Mr.. Brigham will
go to Chicago on Saturday to make
his bookings. He has lines out for ex-
cepuOnal talent. AS usual the entire
bill viii be changed each week.
The IngleS1de Home association will
have charge of the concessions. This
privilege goes to some charitable or
ganizadOn every year
Some especially good music will be
on the MidWfnter programme this
season. An application was received
today by Mr.. Brigham from Wells
band of st. Louis, for a contract to play
here during the exposition. This was
the official band at the Louisiana Pur-
chase exposition and played there
thirty-one weeks during the big
Worlds Fair. Mr. Brigham has not
yet decided on his music programme.
But the application from such a noted
organization as Wells band shows
that the fame concerning TOpeka's an
nual Midwinter show is spreading.
We viii have the best exposition of
all our attempts" said Mr. Brigham
this morning. Everything points in
that direction. More than half of the
booth space is already taken up. The
class of exhibitors is unusually high.
The management is doing everything
possible to make this event the best of
them all. We win have some excellent
vaudeville attractions. They will be
unusually good this year.
The color scheme Of the decorations in
the auditorium will consist in the main
of cardinal red. In contrast with the
green ceiling this color will show ex-
ceptionally well. 1t win be literally used
on the sidewalks, on the balcony and at
all places where effective draping can be
done. Alabama smilaX, needle pines
and palm leaves will be used in profus-
ion. The big hall lends itself easily to a.
dressing up" and with this scheme and
material it viii doUbtlessly be trans
formed into a thing of beauty.

W. S. METCALF INJURED
Narrow Escape Of the General at the
Kansas City Depot.

Kansas City, Dec. 13.-General
Wilder S. Metcalf of Lawrence. Unit
ed States pension agent for Kansas,
was run down by a Missouri Pacific
train on the Union depot platform
yesterday, and narrowly escaped
serious injury. Had it not been that
he rolled to one side as he fell he
would probably have been ground be-
meath the wheels of the biggest pas
senger engine on the Missouri Pa
cifc system. AS it was, he was not
seriously injured.
General Metcalf was at the depot to
meet his wife, who was coming to
Kansas City from Hiawatha, Kan. He
looked toward the western end of the
depot platform and saw a train ap-
preaching. He stepped forward to
get a better view and the Missouri
Pacific fast mail, coming from the
opposite direction, struck him. General
AIetcalf was thrown to the platform
and rolled over and over. The en-
gineer of the mail train threw on the
emergency brakes and stopped. Cen
eraI AIetcalf had fallen in front of the
train but he rolled out of danger.
He declared he was not hurt, but later
his arm panied him and he went to
the office of Dr. E. F. Robinson and
had his injuries attended to. He left

DICK JOHNSON LEAVES.
The Well Known Restaurant Man Dis
appears Suddenly.

''Diclk" Johnson has flown. His exit
occurred last night after he had sold his
restaurant at 408 Kansas avenue to Abel
FUlfOrd- With the cash in hand he got
into his buggy and went away, and is
still gone.
When Fulford came to the restaurant
this morning to take charge Mrs. John
son was still there and she refused to
give possession. 1t seemed shat FulfOrd
had bought the restaurant from Dick
johnson, but that his wife was the real
owner, and she did not care to give it up.
Fulford telephoned for the police to
come up and throw Mrs. Johnson out
but the police refused. Later t was
learned that the property was in the
name OF Mrs. Johnson, and she is in a
fair way to hold it.
On the other hand, all the business
was done in the name of Dick johnson,
and Dick Johnson had the contract Of
feeding prisoners at the city Jail. His
name Is on the window of the place,
Mrs. johnson, seemed to think that it
belonged to him. Before leaving John
son told the help that he had sold the
place to F'ulford, but it seems that he
did not tell his wife, or even notify her
that he was contemplating a change of
location. He has been having trouble
with his wife for long time, and fam
lily relations were badly warped.
At the latest notice Mrs. johnson was
getting along all right with Fulford,
and they were peaceably preparing for
dinner. A truce has been declared pend
ing some legal adjustment of the tangle.
The destination of Mr.. Johnson is still
unknown.
