Good Way Is to File Them in Alpha

Several years ago it was quite fad
Tor couples to be married kneeling on
cushions stuffed with their old love
letters. Whereat the .cynic and the
victim of breach Of promise suit
alike calculated "Amen!"
Aside from such bizarre practices,
however, many persons treasure for
years their old letters, love and other
wise. AS to business letters, this is
undoubtedly wise proceeding. 1t is
we'll to have documentary evidence of
every business transaction, no matter
how small it may be. In regard to
merely personal letters dissenting
opinion might be expressed. Often
thew are of so very personal char
acter that the best thing for all con-
cerned is to destroy them as soon as
they are read and answered. But
where nothing of this sort exists and

thanks or good wishes it is often a

CHANGE IN FOOD
Works Wonders in Health,

1t is worth knowing that change

it my duty to let you know how Grape

are welcome to use this testimonial as
you see fit"
The reason this lady was helped by
the use of Grape-Nuts food, is that il
is predigested by natural processes
and therefore does not tax the stomach
as the food she had been using; it also

FOR PRESERVATION OF OLD LETTERS

is this true of those rare letters which
are really literature and which, com
ing from some persons, really consti-
tute entertaining or valuable essays.
A good way to keep letters is to ar
range them alphabetically, according
to the writer's name, and those of the
same writer according to date of re-
ceipt Then if divided into equal piles
and securely fastened they are always
ready for reference of any sort. It is
best, also, to keep all letters in one
box, as large as may be necessary,
plainly labeled and securely bound.

Escort of Fashionable Woman at the
Opera Gave Her a Surprise.
A student of human nature who is
also lover of music and has been at

opera now being given here has been
getting considerable entertainment out
of the audiences. The other evening
he says he observed a fashionable.
looking woman accompanied by man
who might have been her country
cousin, and as he sat close to them
he heard some of their conversation,
which tended to confirm that impress,
sion. When the curtain fell at the end
of the first act the woman turned to
her companion and said:
Wouldn't you have time to go out
and get libretto?"
The man looked puzzled for a mo.
ment, but finally the light seemed to
break and smiling in a gratified way
he said:
ooh, yes"
Then he went out.
Where is the libretto?" asked the
woman when he returned.
"Oh, did you want one, too?" he
said, looking puzzled once more.
No, of course not" was the reply;
yours will do for both of us. Where
is it?"

Eczema appeared when our baby
was three months old. We applied to
several doctors and hospitals, each OF
which gave us something different
every time, but nothing brought relief.
At last, one of our friends recommend

Ointment. A few days afterwards i'm

we have used nothing but Cuticura
Soap and Cuticura Ointment, and now

Pertinent Query.

Mr.. Brown is daffy on the subject of
scientific problems, but his wife has
no sympathy with him in this direc-
ton.
The other evening he laid down his
paper and remarked to his wife:
That's odd"
"What?" she inquired.
Why, the statement that it would
take 100000 years to pump the sea
dry at the rate of 1000 gallons a sec
ond."
She thought over the statement pro-
foundry for a few seconds, and then
innocently asked:
Where would they put all the
water?"

Try Chanainq Shoes.

Few women seem to know of the
rest that results from changing the
shoes as soon as one goes indoors.
There are two reasons for resting
power produced by changing the
shoes; one is that in the street are
worn heavier shoes than are required
for the house, the other is that a
slight difference in shaping permits
the pedal cords and muscles to re-
lax. Shoes for the street should never
be worn indoors any longer than is
necessary to change them.

To remove dust from silk skirts do
not use brush, but wipe them with
piece of velveteen, which will not

much better than brush.
Silk or ruffied skirts should be fitted
with tapes sewed on the lower ruff1es,
by which they can be hung upside
down. This prevents the skirt from
sagging and the ruffle from dropping.
Gown of delicate material should be
put away in long boxes or bureau
drawers, each skirt being folded in the
plaits into which it should fall when
worn. The bodices should be stuffed
with tissue paper, the sleeves and
trimmings filled out with tissue paper
also.
Wash frocks should always be put
away in trunks, boxes or drawers,
whether they have been worn or not,
for in hanging they grow stringy, are
more easily affected by dampness and
lose freshness.
Suits and frocks should be carefully
