The Chicago and Northwestern Railway
Company long ago separated all It's wom-
en- employees from their jobs. In explana-
3 tion one of the officers of the latter said !:
"1t was clear to us that a girl stenog-
irapher never could be developed into a de-
pArtment head. Her physical and mental
Limitations were such as to make her I'M

she might be good for the one thing she
was, doing, the qualifications for growth
! into the class of employees we could pro-
mote and eventually pension were not
there. 1t was evident that for every ons
woman we had in our employ we were
forfeiting one chance of finding a man
with ability to grow into greatness In the
railroad business.
For instance. stenographer serving
the acting president OF railroad com-
pany is in position TO acquire compre-
hensive knowledge Of the railroad busI-
ness. II the stenographer be a woman
mo matter how competent--her work

knowledge she Is In position to acquire
will not help her TO become anything
other than what she Is. the presidents
stenographer. A young man In the same
position will absorb information and BUSH
ness methods that ought to make Of him
an Invaluable employee in more important
iinrs of railroad work. So the order dis
eliminating against women was issued.
It's not absolute By any means. but e
indicates the general policy OF the road"

Guilty." said the Complaint man" in
a downtown furniture store. This
Is a trouble with much furniture, es-
pecially that which is new, and is
especially common in the spring.
What do we do in such cases? We
simply tell the customers to wet the
surface of bar of common laundry
soap and rub it firmly over the parts
Of the wood that stick. This makes
the surface smooth and slippery, and
In nearly all cases the drawer will
slide easily, especially after it has
been opened and shut a few times.
This also is valuable with doors
which, in new flats, are likely to set
tie or are apt to scrape at the top as
the building settles. Just use soap
On them and save the trouble of call
ing in a carpenter, who will plane the
varnish off.
China cabinet doors, with curved
glass, cause us lot of trouble, but
most Of the tightness can be remedied
by the use of soap and a few appli-
cations of sandpaper. "-Indianapo

MORE THAN MONEY.
a Minister Talks About erape-nuts.

My first stomach trouble began
back in 1895, writes minister in
Nebr., resulting from hasty eating
and eating too much. I found no re-.
lief from medicine and grew SO bad
that all food gave me great distress.
1t was that sore, gnaWing, hungry
feeling in my stomach that was SO
distressing and I became sick man.
zGrape-Nuts was recommended as a
food that could be easily digested.
Leaving the old diet that had given
me 50 much trouble, began to eat
Grape-Nuts with a little cream and
sugar. The change effected in 81 hours
was truly remarkable, and in a few
weeks I was back to health again.
My work as a minister calls me
away from home a great deal, and re-
Gently drifted back to fat meat ana
indigestible foods, which put me again
on the sick list.
So I went back to Grape-Nuts ana
cream and in four days I was put
right again. The old dull headaches
are gone, stomach comfortable, head
clear, and it is a delight to pursue
my studies and work.
"Grape-Nuts food is worth more
than money to me, and I hope this
may induce some sufferer te follow

Another pto at Powers.

A few days ago Gov. Cobb, OF

the writer Of the humorous "Meddy-

In the course of conversation, Gov.
Cobb remarked to Mr.. Pattangall: "E
