THE .MAcYARs IN HUNGARY
How the Emperor Brought the Re
fractory Element to His
Terms.

The New York Times thus elucidates
the recent triumph of the old en-
peror of Austria Hungary over the re-
fractory Magyars by his threat of in
Producing manhood suffrage. They
have acquiesced in his autocratic rule
in the army because OF it. The threat
was the subsection of the ruling
classes in Hungary to the majority
of the population through manhood
suffrage. This says the Times:
'Of the 45,000,000 population of
Austria and Hungary, some 100000
are Germans, and about 100000 are
Magyars. The Germans are, though a
minority in Austria, the most infuen-
tial element as are the Magyars in
Hungary. The immediate cause of
the recent trouble was the claim of
the Hungarians that their language
should be used in the words of COM
mand addressed to the Hungarian
troops in the imperial army. In both
Austria and Hungary the conditions
of suffrage qualification and
the right of persons in certain oc-
equations to vote, together with the
concentration of powers in the upper
branches of the parliament-give to
the Germans in Austria and to the
Magyars in Hungary a decided ad-
vantage 1t was the possible with
drawal in part of this advantage that
induced the present compromise"
The solution is extremely satisfactory
so far as the immediate future is con-
cerned. But it is plain that an ele-
ment has been introduced in the gov
eminent of the two nations that may
produce serious changes. The idea of
manhood suffrage once lodged in the
popular mind is not easily dismissed
from it."

PROBATION THEN MARRIAGE
Surprising Departure in Matrimonial
Alliance Instituted in
Texas.

In Texas, where people do surprising
and original things, the institution of
marriage after probation has been in.
troduced, says the New York Mail.
The thing was started by a rich far
mer, who advertised for a wife, but
specified that the applicant should
serve as his housekeeper for certain
length of time in order that he should
have a chance to prove her ability
and temper. 1t happened that the
farmer was satisfied with his first ap.
plieant and married the lady after a
brief period of housekeeping proba.
ton.
1t is to be hoped that the pair will
live happy ever after. But the real
fact is that their probation" began
only after they were married. Mar.
riage is an institution for which sue
cess in mere housekeeping is no test
at all. An excellent houseBeeper may
make a very poor wife and good
employer does not always make a
good husband.

REPAIRING BRAIN
A Certain way by Food.

Every minister, lawyer. journalist,
physician, author or business man is
forced under pressure OF modern con
ditions to the active and sometimes
overactive use of the brain.
Analysis of the excreta thrown out
by the pores shows that brain work
breaks down the phosphate OF potash,
separating It from its heavier compan-
Ion, albumen, and plain common sense
teaches that this elemental principle
must be introduced into the body anew
each day, IL we would replace the loss
and rebuild the brain tissue.
We know that the phosphate of
potash, as presented in certain field
grains. has an affinity for albumen and
that is the only way gray matter in the
brain can be built. 1t will not answer
TO take the crude phosphate OF potash
OF the drug shop, for nature rejects 1t.
The elemental mineral must be pre-
sented through food directly from ma
lures laboratory.
These facts have been made use of
in the manufacture of Grape-Nuts. and
any brain worker can prove the value
of the proper selection of food by max
ing free use OF Grape-Nuts for ten days
or two weeks. Sold by grocers every

WATCH BIG RED BALL
Employees of Chicago City Hall Much
Interested in New Di-
version.

City hall employees have a new diver
sion since the destruction of the old
county building, reports the Chicago
Daily News. 1t is watching the big
red ball which every noon makes
quick and sensational slide down
pole 80 feet high on top of the Ma
sonic temple. Every day two or three
minutes before noon the shining globe
is hoisted to the top of the pole, and
on the stroke of IL drops. At the
same minute the hands of 100 or more
watches in the city hall are switched
to indicate exact midday.
1t has been only since the old coun-
ty building was RACED that the workers
in the city hall could see the time ball
on the skyscraper nearly three blocks
away. Now department heads, stenog-
raphers, clerks and chemists all
through the city building engage daily
in watching the balls performance
and setting their watches by its fall.
To see the sphere let loose is an event
in the day and the windows from
which good views are obtainable are
as crowded each noon as the station
platform of Montana village on the
arrival of transcontinental flyer.
"Oh, pshaw!" says a disappointed
young woman stenographer sometimes.
Il looked away just a second and now
the ball is gone. hope l have better
luck tomorrow"
Some of the city employees who have
the habit of watching the ball confess
to nervousness and disappointment If
they fail to get position from which
to see its descent, and say they cannot
work as well afternoons or days they
are deprived of their noontime glimpse
of the descending sphere.

THREE FACTS
For Sick Women
To Consider

rrpar THAT almost every operation
l., onr bospitals performed upon women
hecomes necessary through neglect of
s,,cb symptoms as backache, irregular
and PAINFUL periods, displacements
~ tbe female organs, pain in the side,
bnrnino sensation in the stomach,
bearing-down pains, nervousness, dig
ziness and sleeplessness.
SEcoNp.-The medicine that holds
che record for the largest number Of
ohso1ute cures of female ills is Lydia
n Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
IL regulates, strengthens and cures
diseases of the female organism a.
nothing else can.
For thirty years it has been helping
women to be strong, curing baekache,
nervousness, kidney troubles, infam-
nation of the female organs, weak
ness and displacements, regulating
the periods perfectly and overcoming
their pains. 1t has also proved itself
Invaluable in preparing women for
childbirth and the change of life.
THrRp.-The great volume of unso-
licited and grateful testimonials on file
at the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn,
Mass, many Of which are from time to
time published by permission, give abb
solute evidence of the value of Lydia
u. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and
Mrs. Pinkham's advice.
Mrs. Pinkham's Standing Invitatlon
OWomen.-Women suffering from any
form of female weakness are invited to
promptly communicate with Mrs. Pink
ham, at Lynn, Mass. All letters are
received, opened, read and answered
by women only. From symptoms given,
your trouble may be located and the
quickest and surest way of recovery
advised. Mrs. Pinkham Is daughter
in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham and for
twenty-five years under her direction
and since her decease she has been adj
vising sick women free of charge. Outof
the vast volume of experience in treat
ing female ills Mrs. PinlSham probably
has the very knowledge that will help
your case. Surely, any woman, rich or
poor, is very foolish if she doesnot take
advantage of this generous offer of
assistance.
