Just a plain, neat girl, who appears
to know her business tolerably well.

Now, such an action as this girls
is worth all the settlement work
young ladies play at, in my opinion"
Leslie blushed. She felt angry
with the man beside her. When din
ner was over her hostess said:
How did you like Mr.. WIllough-
by? You know, he's a rising man.
He's writing on sociological prob
lens. 1 thought you could entertain
him best"
4 think he's very self-conceited,"
Leslie answered. Next time let me
have some nice boy. l don't think
quite like rising men,
The next day in the office there
was not the faintest sign on Mr..
Willoughby's part that he had ever
seen his stenographer before, nor on
hers that she had met him. The
preoccupied, imperso1aI girl who sat
at her typewriter had nothing to do
with the attractive young woman who
had been at the dinner-party the
night before.

full months, when Della came back.

tasks as if nothing had happened.
The slim, tall girl il black vanished
from Mr. Willoughby's office. Dur
ing the winter he had not again met
Miss Sherman anywhere, but he en-
countered her at a dance just after
her substituting was ended He pro-
fessed great pleasure at the meeting.
why, we haven't met since that
night at Mrs. Orth's! Where have
you kept yourself?" he inquired.
Il nave been very busy, Mr.. Will
loughby. But l have not forgotten
about that girl in your office, the
girl who was commonplace but capa-
BILE, and had the middle-class air;
but you thought her so kind. You
remember, don't you?"
Mr.. Willoughby stared at her. He
took off his glasses and stared again.
Then he bowed low.
Pardon me. Did L speak such
folly? Really, Miss Sherman, you
won't believe me, but the resem-
blance is striking, and your voice ana
that girls are amazingly alike And
must have been deserted by my
good angel. Dear lady, 1 ask pardon
of all settlement workers on my
Bonded knees. How did you ever
carry it through ?"-Youths Com

Maitlnn.


Serene, fold my hands and wait
Nor care for winds, or tide, or sea:
rave no more 'gainst time or fate,
For 10! my own shall come to me-
stay my haste, l make delays,
For what avails this eager pace?
l stand amid the eternal ways,
And what is mine shall know my
face.
Asleep, awake, by night or day,
The friends l seek are seeking me;
No wind can drive my bark astray,
Nor change the tide of destiny.
What matter if l stand alone?
I wait with joy the coming years;
My heart shall reap where it has
sown,
And garner up it's fruits of tears.
The waters know their own, and
draw
The brook that springs in yonder
height;
So flows the good with equal law
Unto the soul of pure delight.
The stars come nightly to the sky;
The tidal wave unto the sea;
Nor time, nor space, nor deep, nor
high,
Can keep my own away from me.

The people have allowed the slow
murder of infants and adults by tricky
makers Of food, drink and drugs to go
on about long enough. Duty to one
SELF family and nation demands that
every man aid woman join in an or

from this blight. You may not be able
to go personally to Washington to i'm
press your Congressman, but you can,
in a most effective way tell him by let
ter how you desire him to represent
you.
Remember the Congressman is in
Congress to represent the people from
his district and if goodly number of
citizens express their views to him he
secures very sure guide to duty. Re-
member also that the safety of the peo-
pie is assured by insisting that the
will Of the people be carried ont, and
not the Vaccinations of the few for
selfish interests.
This pure food legislation is a pure
movement Of the people for public pro

gress evades his patriotic duty hold

Sel0CIlOn OF 1000.
Many pure food bills have been in
troduced and some passed by State
legislatures; many have been offered
to Congress, but all thus far seem OBJ
jectiOnable.
It has seemed difficult for politicians
to formulate a satisfactory bill that
would protect the common people and
yet avoid harm to honest makers and
prevent endless trouble to retailers.
No government commission or officer
has the right to fix flood standards"
to define what the people shall and
shall not eat, for what agrees with enc
may not agree with another and such
act would deprive the common citizen
Of his personal liberty. The Postum
Cereal Company, Ltd, perhaps the
largest makers of prepared foods in
the world, have naturally a close
knowledge of the needs of the people
and the details Of the business of the
purveyors (the retail grocer) and, guild
ed by this experience have prepared
bill for submission to Congress which
Is intended to accomplish the desired
ends, and inasmuch as a citizen of the
y. S. has a right to food protection
even when he enters another State it
is deemed proper that the government
take control of this matter and pro-
vide a national law to govern all the
states. A copy Of the bill is herewith
reproduced.
Section / governs the maker wheth-
er the food is put up in small pack
ages sealed, or in barrels, boxes or
otherwise.
Sec. governs the retailer who may
open a barrel and sell the food in
small quantities. When he puts the
goods into a paper bag he must also
enclose printed copy of the statement
Of the maker which was affixed to the
original pkg. and inasmuch as the re-
taller cannot undertake to guarantee
the statement Of ingredients he must
publish the statement Of the makers
and add his own name and address as
guarantee of his selling the food as
it Is represented to him, which relieves
the retailer Of responsibility of the
truth Of the statement and throws it
upon the maker, where 1t properly be-
longs.
The remaining sections explain
themselves.
The Postum Cereal Co., Ltd, for ex-
ample, have from the beginning Of It's
existence printed on the outside of
each and every pkg. Of Postum and
Grape-Nuts food truthful and exact
statement Of what the contents were
made Of in order that the consumer
might know precisely what he or she
was eating. A person desiring to buy,
for instance, strictly pure fruit jelly
and willing to pay the price has right
to expect not only an equivalent for
the cost but further right to a GER
tainty as to what he eats. Or he may
be willing to buy at less cost a jelly
made part of fruit juices, sugar and a
portion Of glucose But he must be
supplied with truthful information of
the ingredients and be permitted to
use his personal liberty to select his
