Rooms Named for States.

I'm little town in the backwoods of
Mississippi" remarked a travelling
man, there is peculiar hotel. 1t is
just like any other hotel except in the
way the rooms are named. They are
not numbered, as is generally done, but
each room is named for State of the
United States. When / stopped at the
place 1 was assigned to a room called
Delaware 1t was correctly named.
too, for it was one of the smallest
rooms in the house. The man who was
occupying New Hampshire made COM
plant to the landlord that the man in
Maine was drunk and boisterous and
thus keeping him awake. This seemed
strange when we recall that Maine is
a prohibition State. Two men up in
Montana were keeping up the repu-
tatiOn of the wild West by engaging in
a nioSy poker game. A big. fat CAPT
talst had New York which was the
best room in the house. The room
named for Alabama is too ordinary for
anything, and a farmer was occupying
it the night l was there. 1t was funny
to stand in the office and hear a bell
boy tell the clerk that towels were
wanted in Iowa and that the fellow
in North Dakota was kicking like a
steer because he had no fire. Be sure
to call the man in Florida at )
o'clock in the morning said one of the
employees. And thus it went This
hotel is a curiosity to the travelling

old fellow, but where he conceived the
idea of naming rooms after States l do

Amateur Reform.

The mission workers on the East
Side frequently see the humorous as
well as the sadder side of life. A man
prominent in reform work recounts the
experience of a certain young woman
new to the task, who set about posting
herself as to conditions in a neighbor-
hood near Avenue A.
The ambitious missionary had en-
tered the house of an Irishwoman and
had made some preliminary inquiries
when she was suddenly interrupted by
the woman, who said
Say, youse is fresh at dis business
amt youse?"

Unless early and correct treatment is
applied the patient seldom survives
when once the disease IS fastened upon
her. We believe Lydia +. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound is the most efh-
cient treatment for chronic kidney
troubles of women, and is the only med.
icine especially prepared for this
purpose.
When a woman is troubled with pain
or weight in loins, backache, frequent,
painful or scalding urination, swelling
of limbs or feet, swelling under the
eyes, an uneasy, tired feeling in the
region of the kidneys or notices a
sediment in the urine, she should
lose no time IN commencing treatment
with Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, as 1T may be the means of
saving her life.
For proof, read what Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound did for Mrs.
Sawyer.
g l cannot express the terrible suffering I
had to endure A arrangement of the female
organs developed nervous prostration and
serious kidney trouble. The doctor attended

pound as last resort, and am to-day well

Better Teaching of Three RS.

Another interesting test of the present
day methods of public school education as
compared with the known results of teach
ing more than half a century ago. has re-
Gently been made at Cleveland, Ohio. Ac-
cording TO the School Journal, lists of
words and arithmetic examples contained
in the examination papers of the Spring
field (Mass.) high school in 1916, which
were submitted to the ninth grade of the
Springfield school in 1895, have now been
tried in one Cleveland school. Following
is the list of words: Accidental, accessi-
BILE, baptism, chirography, characteristic,
deceitfully, descendent, eccentric, evan
escent, fierceness. feignedly. ghastIiness,
gnawed heiress, Mysteries, imbecility. in
conceivable. inconvenience. inefficient. ir-
resistible. The comparative results show
that the pupils of 1916 answered 40.G per
cent of the words correctly. those Of 1895
j1.2 per cent. while the Cleveland pupils
in this year of grace spelled 61.2 per cent
correctly. In the case Of the arithmetic
papers. the percentage of correct replies
for 1916 was 1915, in Springfield last year
ii was 81, and in Cleveland school at
the recent test was SO.

4 Nice Choice of Words.

When the Hansons took Norah LAM
han as maid of all work they knew
that she was ignorant of many other
things than household work. Eachmem-
Der of the family took pleasure in
tightening her darkness, and it was a
great surprise to find that occasion
ally Norah knew enough to put her in
structors in the wrong.
''NOrah," said Mrs. Hanson one day,
you must go tomorrow afternoon and
buy pair of new shoes. 1 am per-
fectly sure from the condition of those
you have on that they must leak, and
wet your feet every time you so out
in this melting snow"
"Well'm, they don't Leak said pref
ty Norah, looking down at the Offend,

BREAD DYSPEPSIA.



Bread dyspepsia is common. 1t af-
fects the bowels because white bread is
nearly all starch. and starch is digest
ed in the intestines, not in the stomach
proper.
Up. under the shell of the wheat ber-
ry Nature has provided a curious de-
post which is turned into diastase
when it is subjected to the saliva and
to the pancreatic juices in the human
mteStines.
This diastase is absolutely necessary
to digest starch and turn it into grape
sugar, which is the next form; but that
part of the wheat berry makes dark
-four, and the modern miller cannot
readily sell dark -four, SO Natures val
liable digester is thrown out and the
human system must handle the starch
as best it can, without the help that
Nature intended.
Small wonder that appendicitis, peri
tonitis, constipation, and all sorts of
trouble exist when we go SO contrary
to Natures law. The food experts that
perfected Grape-Nuts Food, knowing
these facts, made use in their expert
ments of the entire wheat and barley.
including all the parts, and subjected
them to moisture and long continued
warmth, which allows time and the
proper conditions for developing the
diastase, outside of the human body.
In this way the starchy part is trans
formed into grape-sugar in a perfectly
natural manner without the use OF
chemicals or any outside ingredients.
The little sparkling crystals of grape
sugar catn be seen on the pieces of
Grape-Nuts. This food therefore is nat
urally pre-digested and its use in place
of bread will quickly correct the trou-
bles that have been brought about by
the too free use of starch in the food.
and that is very common in the human
race to-day.
The effect of eating Grape-Nuts ten
days or two weeks and the discontin-
uance of ordinary white bread, is very
marked. The user win gain rapidly in
strength and physical and mental
health.
There's a reason"

Hoped for BETTER Bill.

The Democratic leader in charge of
the bill said he could not congratulate
President Roosevelt, because he be-
lieved a better bill could have been at
tanned if the President had pursued his
original cause to the end.
Neither could he congratulate the Re-
publican party, he said, for while the
g. o. p. was now lined up there would
be wounds to heal, scars to remove and
bitter memories.
The last thing of Importance the SEN
ate did before passing the bill was to
strike the words lin its Judgment
from the section comforting the rate
making power on the Interstate Com
merce Commission. The vote was 90 to
a. With these words out, it is con-
tended that the court review provision
has been broadened, or made at least
more ambiguous than if it, had been
provided that the commission should
determine and prescribe what in it's
judgment shall be just and reasonable
rates, instead of being authorized to
declare arbitrarily what absolutely are
just and reasonable charges On the
other hand, had the words been retain
ed, the bill would have been of doubt

Gorky,s Marriage Relations

Since the general outcry against Max
i'm Gorky, the Russian writer and revo-
lutionist, when it was made known that
Nine. Andreiva was not legally his wife
and that he had not a legal divorce from
his first wife, a statement of his side of
the case by Leroy Scott has been pub
lished. 1t appears that Mr. Gorky's mar
riage with his first wife was unhappy and
that separation by mutual consent oc-
Cured three years ago. For political, le-
gal and moral reasons it was impossible
for them to obtain a divorce The diff
Guilty of securing divorces and the disrep-
Gtable means that must be employed nave
created the custom in Russia of accepting
a man and woman as husband and wife
who publicly acknowledge that relation.
The first Mrs. Gorky was remarked. ac-
cording to this custom, which has existed
for over sixty years. 1t was under these
circumstances that Mr.. Gorky was Joined
to Nine Andreiva, who was a woman of
noble family and an actress of high stand
ing, who gave all to the cause of liberty.
In this aspect of the case the condemna-
ton of the American attitude toward
Gorky by the press of Europe has now
become somewhat more Ineligible
