Champion, Mich, July 24.-(Special)
A case Of especial interest to women
is that of Mrs. A. Wellett, wife Of a
well-known photographer here. It Is
best given in her own words.

states. II had an awful hard pain

three or four times in the night. was
very nervous and fearfully respondent.
Il had been troubled in this way for
five years when I commenced to use
Dodd's Kidney Pills, and what they

hardly stand description.

Wear Tinsel Again.

Tinsel and tawdriness have beer
been coupled together for so long tina
few women have had chance to real
ize what an attractive addition a touch
of it might form to the trimming of a
costume. Partisan modistes, however
are now utilizing it, and with sach
artistic results that their customers
seem as attracted by it as lot OF
moths.
One Eastern woman, when she was
in town few days ago, wore a crea.
ton which might have been copied
from Reynolds picture 1t was of
black gauze over black silk. The skirt
was embroidered about the edge with
sprays Of blue corn flowers and wheat
done in tinsel thread. It's surplice
bodice was finished by black lace
fichu worked in the same design. A
rosette Of tinsel was added to the vel
vet belt, and another cleaned from
under the brim Of her huge black hat.

Discomfort and Dishonesty Caused by
Reckless Extravaganza of Rich.
Wherever we follow our spectacular
rich (the newspapers force US to fol-
low them, we find them parading like
eccentricities, taking off shoes and
stockings in Baltimore after fash
ionable gathering to wade in a public
fountain; playing leap frog in Wash
ington (men and wOmen), after a smart
dance; wandering off for hours in the
Bots de Boulogne Gin couples with hus-
bands and wives separted), after bril-
liant Paris dinner; watching the body
to body cOntortiOns Of young woman
and boa constructor this in New
York before company of mem; qp-
plauding uncomfortable features Of
the stupid Seeley revel; gambling,
gorging, drinking, gallivanting, IN
short challenging the devil to offer any
FLIP for their jaded senses! What
wonder if the unsophisticated West is
yielding to this contamination, as ap-
pears in a recent Boston PAPER which
speaks editorially of IAN entertainment
in Minneapolis where three hundred
men gathered to enjoy the dancing Of
a nude artists model.'
All of which means, if it means any
thing, that powerful element in our
'best"-that is our richest society-is
setting a profiigate example in this
country, an example that threatens the
sanctity and stability Of countless
American homes. Pleasure and show
and money! Dress for the women!
Gems for the women. And rich hus-
band. There is the poisoned lure that
tempts our maidens. Pleasure and
show and money!
And Of these three but one is essen
tial: money, for money will buy the
other two. Does any one doubt that
thousands of our women are practical
" selling themselves lor money in
marriage and then selling themselves
again for money in divorce? Does any
one doubt that this pressure for riches
brought upon men by our women
wives, sweethearts and society, is a
fundamental cause Of the dishonesty
that is more and more tainting our
business and political life All, now
we have said the word, the bitter,
wounding word-dishonesty! There is
the danger that threatens this repub-
lic-dishonesty among its citizens. All
other evils are less than this, all cures
for evils are vain until this evil is
cured, for the whole principle Of rep
resentative government fails abjectly

Full Moon,

A New York man named TompkinS
starting on a trip South fell in with
an old acquaintance, and was surpris.
ed to learn that the man he had known
for so many years was just starting on
his wedding tour. Congratulations fol-
lowed, says the New York Tribune,
and when the old friend mentioned
the name Of his bride, the daughter Of
an extremely wealthy man, Tompkins
exclaimed:
well, you are indeed fortunate
man.
The bridegroom gave a smile Of
modest satisfaction, and soon after ex.
cused himself to return to his wife.
When Tompkins and his travelling
companion were alone, the companion
remarked:
Appears to have struck it pretty
rich, eh?''
II should say SOP exclaimed Temp
kins. "Of my personal knowledge
should say that the girl is worth sew
eral millions"
"And SO he is on his honeymoon
added the New Yorker
Honeymoon repeated Tompkins,
with a burst Of enthusiasm. "Why, l
call it nothing less than a harvest

when the people strive only to plumber
and betray the people!
II one OF our writer's twenty years
ago or even ten years ago had dared
to question the honesty Of the Ameri-
can people, he would have been count
ed an impudent renegade, a babbler
whose stupid insults would have
aroused only contemptuous smiles.
But to-day it is different, our eyes have
been opened, and, without surprise
though with dismay, we see able men
commissioned by our great magazines
to go from city to city, from State to
State, from one business enterprise to
another, with the sole purpose of prov
ing the existence Of wholesale corrup-
ton In public and private affairs. And
month after month we read these
CHASTITY revelations until it seems as
if everything is rotten, all our cities,
all our States, the whole world Of
business and finance, even our national
government, even our courts. And we
take it as matter of course!-Suc-

THE GREAT BLESSING.
American Attitude Toward "Curse of
Cain" Differs from English.

American Attitude Toward "Curse of
Cain" Differs from English.
The average Englishman's mental
attitude toward working for living
is not easy for the American to I'M
derstand. A young aristocrat commit
ted suicide the other day because, hav-
ing run through his property, he was
facing the dreadful necessity Of earn
Ing his daily bread. In English novels
we often encounter heroes in whose
behalf our sympathy is sought because
the poor fellows must either work Or
starve. Thackeray's Phillip" was one
Of these unfortunate young men. Los
ing his money through the dishonesty
of an executor, he is compelled to take
up newspaper work, and the hard
ships Of having to work for a living,
especially for one who has been
brought up in idleness, are dwelt upon
by Mr.. Thackeray with telling pathos.
Not until, in the last chapter, the hero
inherits a fortune through the roman
tic discovery Of the customary miss
ing will, do we feel that he Is restored
to the rank Of a real gentleman. In
English parlance trade" is "low."
When the grocer, the butcher and the
maker Of candlesticks meet for 80
cial evening with their wives, each po-
litely ignores the fact that the others
labor for their daily bread. The
slightest allusion to the commercial
world would be considered the deep
est discourtesy.
In this country we look upon work
somewhat differently. There is the
same commendable aversion to 'talk-
Ing shop" at least this feeling is
growing, but it is not because we are
ashamed Of working for our living.
The story is told Of a young English
man who knew some men in Pittsburg,
the busiest spot on this continent, and
decided to put up at club in that
city for few weeks. He left town
after two days, saying: There's no
fun to be had here. All my friends
work in the daytime, and 1 can't get
any one to play with me-" We like
work, we are proud Of it. and we rec
ognize that it is one Of Gods best gifts
to man.
II believe you have no leisure class
In your country?" an English noble
man asked young American girl.
"Oh, yes, my lord,' came the quick
reply, "but we call them tramps."-

CHANGED HUSBAND.

Wife Made Wise Change in Food.
Change of diet is the only way to
really cure stomach and bowel trou-
BILE.
A woman says:
my husband had dyspepsia when
we were married and had suffered
from it for several years. 1t was al
most impossible to find anything he
could eat without bad results.
II thought this was largely due to
the use of coffee and persuaded him
to discontinue it. He did so, and be-
gan to drink Postum Food Coffee. The
change did him good from the begin
ming, his digestion improved; he suf-
fered much less from his nervousness,
and when he added Grape-Nuts food
to his diet he was soon entirely cured.
MY friend, Mrs. Of
Vicksburg (my former home) had be-
come nervous wreck also from dys-
pepsia. Medicines had no effect,
neither did travel help her. On my
last visit home, some months ago,
persuaded her to use Grape-Nuts food
She was in despair, and consented.
She stuck to it until it restored her
health SO completely that she is now
the most enthusiastic friend of Grape
Nuts that ever knew. She eats it
with cream or dry, just as it comes
from the package-keeps it in her
room and eats it whenever she feels
like it.
II began eating Grape-Nuts food,
myself, when my baby was 2 months
old, and l don't know what | should
have done without it. Ny appetite
was gone, 1 was weak and nervous
and afforded but very little nourish-
ment for the child. The Grape-Nuts
food, Of which l soon grew very fond,
speedily set all this right again, and
the baby grew healthful, rosy and
beautiful as a mother could wish. He
is 2 years old now and eats Grape
Nuts food himself. l wish every tired
young mother knew Of the good that
Grape Nuts would do her."

"Have you change for Is % cents?"
Charles H. Smith, owner of the
American House, told the Kansas
City Journal that the question was

the early days of the colonies. as he

"This bill of one-sixth Of a dollar

shillings and sixpence sterling per dol

resolve Of the provincial convention
of Maryland, held in the city of An

How He Lost His Voice.

Maxim GOrky has been many things
"a baker, railway porter, and a
score Of other occupations. When he
was a baker the only consolation Of
his life was song. He used to sing
with a fine tenor voice, and once had
an engagement in an operate chorus.
This voice might have changed his ca
reer and made him lyric star" but
for an accident He was sleeping one
night on some sacks OF -four in the
open air, when violent storm came
on, and he was blown to the ground
with such violence that he remained
unconscious for some time. A chill
in the throat, which he caught by ex-
posture that night. destroyed his tenor
and left him with a raucous baritone.

Fishes that Attack Cows.

The Journal Of Agricultural Topics
calls attention to a very curious fish,
occurring in great numbers along the
banks Of the Amazon, which attack
cattle. The animals frequent the shall
low waters during the heat Of the day,
and while thus exposed are attacked
upon the legs and udders by the fish.
The bites are quite severe, frequently
totally disabling the animals and
sometimes producing death. In one
instance dairyman is reported to have
lost over 400 cows from his cause in a
single season.

The "Great Thing's'' Wife.

A parodist declares that wives OF
great men all remind us, we can't
make our wives sublime" The case
in point was that Of Victor Hugo who,
the Mercure de France says, INDUCED
in philosophical monologues, to which
people were expected to listen. But
one person, at least, had heard them
too many times to be increasingly vigi-
liant.
One evening the great man burst
forth:
"How poor, how small, how absurd
Is atheism God exists. l am more
sure Of His existence than Of my own.
God surrounds and upholds us. We

This abrupt accusation was hurled
at Madame Hugo. Since dinner she
had been huddled in an armchair, her
chin resting on her chest, her hands
folded and her eyelids closed. Her
breathing had been suspiciously reg

reused herself.

The timeworn expression "the poor
farmer" has come to be one Of the
standing jokes. The fact is the farm
ers are no longer poor. Nearly every
town Of 500 people or more now has
at least one bank and the bulk of the
money on deposit belongs to the farm-
ers. The deposits are large too. Few
banks even Of small capital carry less
than $4,000 on their daily balances
and many have two and three times
that amount. Count the market price
of "the poor farmers" land, figure out
the value of the stock, put in his bank
account, and you will find that the
average farmer is worth good deal
more than the average townsman.

TO the average layman, the most I'm
portant word said at the recent annual
meeting Of the National Association
for the Study and Prevention of Tuber-

demnation OF "the ostrich policy"
Well-meaning friends, he said, always

she has tuberculosis, for it will kill
her at once!' SO Neliie fingers in
fancied security until her case is be-
yond cure. The specialists who debat-
ed this point agreed that "Nellie should
be told" and if her friends will look

knows her danger, the physician can
count on that prompt cooperation and
continual self-help which so frequently
turn the scales in favor Of recovery.

TOO REMINISCENT.

Mrs. Bagley was not timid; still,
tramps were scarce in that neighbor-
mood, and the one approaching the
mouse did not present a reassuring ap-
pearance. The old lady glanced to-
ward the barn and down the lane,
renecung uneasily on her husbands
naDlt OF being late for meals.
The tramp, also, had reconnoitered
the barnyard and noted the absence of
man. He slouched confidently round
to the kitchen door, seated himself on
the step, peerlng impudently from I'M

motherly woman, and shifted at the

that Hiram would appear before any
thing worse developed.
The tramp greedily gulped down the
greater part Of the contents of the
cup; then he started up violently, roll

into the cup, seemed to recollect some
thing, and then made horrible face
at his Quaking hostess.
