But how do you manage to keep up
the conversation when he"
Rob prefers a conversation in which
the other'party is a listener, dear. OF
course I told him when we first met
that dearly love to read"
ooh, well, don't know a girl any
where who reads as many fashion
magazines as you"
"M'h'm. Well, I knew that Bob
meant to make me a handsome Christ
mas gift this year, and-er-perhaps add
himself to it."
But how"
Have you never heard of feminine
intuition, dear? Consequently l just
mentioned to him the fact that l am
collecting turquoises. l knew by the
way he changed the subject that he
had taken the hint and thought it ac-
cidental"
"Oh-h; do show me"
''He asked if l was fond of Thacke-
ray. 1 said l dotted on him; I'd have
said l dotted on white mice if he had
confessed a fOndnesS for them-I was
so happy. Well, yesterday l dropped
in at Alice's, I found her in the
library; she seemed nervous and
stayed to find the reason"
And did
"She asked if l did not consider
set of Thackeray the incest Christmas
gift man could make to a girl-a girl
he liked very much? l replied, Yes
If the girl had saffron hair and eyes
which were located at right angles!'"

"She replied, Oh, she was in earn.
est; she knew a man who meant to
give lucky girl just such a set. Then
she intimated that he intended to hint
his hope that the set would soon be
housed under his own roof"
But who"
81 said, yes, the girl was lucky if
she had genius for martyrdom; that
the man who would make girl such
a gift would be the man who would
expect his wife to prefer a subscrip-
ton to a magazine to new tailor
made frock and an addition to the
library to trip to Palm Beach,"
Good! I'm glad you said"
I'm not myself, dear. Rob was in
the next room and heard every word.
Alice had helped him to select a
Christmas gift for me, and when
came in she told him to wait while
she met me in the library, SO he could
hear my cries of delight when 1 heard
Of the selection! Did you ever know
such an unmitigated cat!"
"Gracious-never!" cried the girl in
brown. Il didn't tell you, did I, that
the gift which so delighted Alice was
a set Of Thackeray? Rob was there
and Alice's mother stopped me in the
hall, as | went out, to ask the adj
dress of the dressmaker who made
Mabel's trousseau."

Man and Wife Fatten on crape-Nuts.
The notion that meat is necessary
fer real strength and the foundation
of solid flesh is no longer as prevalent
as formerly
Excessive meat eaters are usually
sluggish a part of the time because
they are not able to fully digest their
food, and the undigested portion is
changed into what is practically a
kind of poison that acts upon the
blood and nerves, thus getting all
through the system.
Il was heavy meat eater writes
an Ills. man, "and up to two years
ago, was in very poor health l suf-
fered with Indigestion so that 1 only
weighed IS pounds.
Then heard about Grape-Nuts and
decided to try it. My wife laughed at
me at first but when I gained to 1875
pounds and felt so fine, she thought
she would eat Grape-Nuts too.
Now she is fat and well and has
gained 40 pounds. We never have in
digestion any more and seldom feel
the desire for meat. A neighbor of
ours, IS years old, was troubled with
indigestion for years; was a heavy
meat eater, and now since he has been
eating GrapeNuts regularly, he says
he is well and never has indigestion.
/ could name a lot of persons who
have really been cured of indigestion
by changing from a heavy meat diet
to Grape-Nuts.' There's a Reason. +"

the pupils were feeling bright and

plan to give them sentences to cor

She accordingly wrote on the black

"The hen has four legs. He
done it."
Thoughtful little Ignatius, at the

OSTEOPATHY IN BRIEF AND PUN.
GENT PARAGRAPHS.

Contractures in the chest wall are
one of the main causes of heart and
lung troubles. They cause crowding
of the nerves and blood vessels, and
even the organs themselves have not
their allotted room for action. The
cure is to remove the contractures, not
dope the heart and lungs.
If winter ills do come. este opathy
safest ending. o. etaoincmfwypehm
brings them to the speediest and safest
ending. 1t restores adjustments and
relaxes tissues, so that the inherent
disease resisting power of the body
may operate normally.
Osteopathy achieves excellent re-
suits in urinary troubles. The osteo-
path is not only able to give speedy
relief from the pain and annoyance,
but in almost all cases, IL given rea-
sonable time, is able to effect a COM
plete cure.
Neuralgia Is said to mean pressure
on sensory nerves. The osteopath re-
lieves the pressure and the result that
must follow is obvious. The osteo-
path is the only doctor that tries to
find the point at which the pressure
occurs and to so correct the bodily
adjustment as to relieve II.
In considering the rationale y OF
osteopathic treatment it should be re-
membered that nerves control the cir
culation of the blood and that except
where there is some direct obstruction
of the blood vessels themselves, the
only way to correct abnormal blood
circulation to any part of the body is
through the nerves. 80
From the preceding paragraphs the
application of osteopathy to all con-
ditions is evident. The laity recog-
nized that diseases of the liver, stom-
ach, kidneys, bowels and other organs
are almost wholly due to too much or
too little blood in the part. Even the
medical doctors admit the success OF
the osteopath in dealing with nerves,
hence he must admit the osteopath's
success in handling these diseases.

"Dig head" is the name of a dis
ease, about which there is more mys-
terry than known facts, which is
greatly perplexing the sheep men in
the vicinity of Soda Springs and Ida
no Falls ami is causing the death of
considerable number of their sheep
About 90 per cent of the sheep of
one prominent sheepman have the
disease this spring and more than
| 100 of them have died. other bands
are affected and II seems but little
can he done to save the sheep.
The disease has appeared practical
! ly every year in the vicinity of Soda
| Springs, one of the largest sheep
sections of the state, since the sheep
were first taken there, but 1t seems
to be IN a much more aggravated
form this year. 1t received its name
from the effect it has on tho sheep.
When the disease attacks them, in a
very short time their heads swell to
Il very large size, often their eyes
dropping out. Even IL the eyes do
not drop out the sheep are general

man.
While the sheep men have had to
combat the disease fer many years,
its cause is still mystery to them
1t is now being investigated by rep
, resentatives of the bureau of animal
industry and the bureau Of plant in
! dustry.
DR., 6. f.. Noble, state veterinarian,
returned yesterday from that part Of
! the state, and reports that the con-
| ditions there are not alarming, but
| there is no doubt that the disease lie
affecting the sheep much more Sc
verely than 1t ever has before. But
the disease is confined to a fewer
number of herds than usually is the
case at this season of the year.
DR.. Noble said there were certain
| passes through which sheep are often
| taken to and from the range where
the sheep nearly always get the dis
ease. 1t is thought by some that the
| poison comes from certain weeds,
others believe IL comes from the soil.

becomes much more widespread
among them than at other times.
sheepmcn try to avoid these passes.
DR.. Noble says that one of the bands
which is affected this year has not
been near any of these known places
where the poison is to be found.
Al. Idaho Falls there are not 50
many bands that are affected, but
wherever the disease is found it is
in very aggravated form, and
wherever the disease appears it is af'
fecting large percentage of the en-
tire band.
1t is the history of the disease that
it usually affects ewes with lambs,
but this year it is most prevalent
among the bands of dry ewes.
Efforts are being made by the
sheepmen to cure the sheep, but a
successful cure has not been found.
The sheep are usually driven to the
banks of a stream where they may
rest in the shade of the trees or else
they are driven to the higher hills
where the air is cool.
DIR. Noble was in the southeastern
part of the state when he read O
number of newspaper reports of the
sheep that were dying from "big

and he at once left for that place tc
