the end Mr.. Jefferson's condition on
Saturday night grew steadily worse and
the family, who had retired, were SUM
moned and DR. Potter was called. The

worse all through yesterday and the

panied by all the members of his fam
ily, who are here. 1t viii reach New

Qualities Unlike in the Sexes

and a woman is a woman down TO her
little toes" writes DR.. Havelick Ellis
In his book. Men and Women" There
is hardly a measurable quality of any
sort which Is not unlike in the two
sexes. Women even button their gar
mentS on the other side from mat

stead OF Monday as their favorite day
for making way with themselves. So far
as laboratory tests go DIR. Ellis says
that women are unquestiOnably superior
