THE EMPRESS OF CHINA. }

'- - - ~ ~
The dowager empress Of China, who
nntil very recently q been SO averst
to being seen, much less pictured by
foreigners. has at last been photo.
graphed by an attache of a foreign le'
cation. The picture has beer brough'
to France and shows her sitting will
two of her maids Of honor standing
ht her right, and. at her left. the grane
eunuch.
The picture Is a very good likeness
And unlike those hitherto published
shows her face uncovered. Other pic.
lures v made the masterful frs
lady of China look like an image, thu
head banded about with curious wrap
ping n decorations that robbed The
face of all expression, while here the
potency n magnetism Of the woman
are reflected.
Although her nephew is nominally
the sovereign, this woman who has
ruled 400. ooO. 900 people for forty-six
years, now at the age of 70. holds the
reins of authority more firmly than
ever. Her last progression has been
to send emissaries to America and
EUROPE for new methods Of improving
China and its system of government.
Her career has been wonderful when
pne remembers the AFFECT condition of
women in her country.
Pan-Hoe-Pan, a celebrated Chinese
woman poet, drew this contrast:
when a son Is born he sleeps in a
bed covered with ribbons, his play
things are pearls and everyone looks
upon ais infantile desires as orders
from a prince. When 1t Is a girl, she
rs permitted to sleep On the ground,
powered only with a sheet, and for a
roy she Is given a tile"
The Chinese character which repre-
sents man Is a symbol Of the most
generous impulse. while that which
stands for woman, typif1es all human
faults and vices. The belief that only
the prayers Of a son are heard Is &C
countable for woman's inferior posi-
ton.
Confucius said: "a woman should
be listened to but never believed" and
China accepts C%onfucius literally.
According to a Chinese proverb, at
is not the sting of the asp nor the
fang of the serpent, but the heart of a
woman that darts poison. A girl sub
mits absolutely to the will of her par
ents in the matter of marrying, and
never sees her husband till the cere-
mony. Once married, she obeys him
ever as she obeyed her parents. She
addresses him as my master" and if
she Is unfaithful he can kill her. He
also take some of his slaves as
secondary wives and If she has no chill
dren she is d~isgraced.
. The Chinese women have their own
styles in dress though they are apt
to "all look alike to us. A scarf is
wound about tho chest to impart firm
ness to the figure. Then the long
trousers. belted at the ankle and waist
with q silken cord, while over this a
long blouse or peplum is worn. This
last garment Is generally embroidered.
The couture is very elaborate, and they
have no scruples about paint, as they
use white and red on the cheeks and
blacken the eyebrows and eyelashes.

MEAT on CEREAL
A Question OF Interest 10 All Careful

Persons.
Arguments OH food are interesting.
Many persons adopt a vegetarian diet
on the ground that they do not like to
feel that life has been taken to feed
them, nor do they fancy the thought Of
eating dead meat.
On the other hand. too great con-
sumption Of partly cooked, starchy oats
II wheat or white bread. pastry, ETC.,
produces serious bowel troubles, be-
cailse the bowel digestive organs
(Where starch is digested) are over
taxed and the food ferments, producing
gas, Il microbes generate in the de-
cayed food. frequently bringing on peri
tonit:s and Appendicitis.
Starchy food is absolutely essential
to the human body. Its best form is
shown in the food .Grape-Nuts, where
the starch Is changed into a form OF
sugar during the process of it's manu-
facture. In this way, the required food
is presented to the system in il pre-di-
gested form and is Immediately made
into blood and tissue, without taxing
the digestive organs.
A remarkable result in nourishment
is obtained; the person using Grape
Nuts gains quickly in physical and
mental strength. Why in mental? Be
cause the food contains delicate par
ticles of Phosphate of Potash obtained
from the grains, and this unites with
the albulnen of all food and the combi-
nation IS what nature uses TO rebuild
worn out cells in the brain. This is d
scientific fact that can be easily proven
by ten days use of Grape-Nuts.

CARTER co. VICTORIOUS.

~. .. Court Says 1t IL ExcIusivel,
Entftled to Red Package for pills.
The Carter Medicine Co., of New
York, states that its exclusive right as
owner OF Little Liver Pills to the red
package has just been again confirmed
By two important DEGREES Of the United
States Circuit Court sitting at Trenton,
y. J. It says: The suit Of the Carter
Medicine CO., In that court, for an In
junction restraining a Camden IN. j.
pill manufacturer from using a red
vcolored package for his preparation is
decided In favor Of the Carter Co. A
ssimilar result occurs In a suit to enjoin
n retail druggist from selling pills in
red packages. Both actions were con-
tested.
The court decides that the Carter
Medicine Co. has for many years had
the sole and exclusive right to the uss
OF red-colored wrappers and labels
upon small round packages OF liver
pills, and says that the right was nc
squired by the adoption Of that color
more than thirty years ago., and by it's
continuous use eyer since. The de-
tfendant In each case Is permanently en-
a3olned from manufacturing or putting
mp any liver pills in such red colored
packages, and also from selling any
pills In red packages, except the genu-
Inc Carter's.
1 The DEGREES direct the defendants,
among other things, to deliver up to
the Carter Co, for destruction. nll In.
bringing wrappers, packages. bottles.
etc. The defendants are required to
account to the complainant, and to pay
:ithe damages found due, as well as to
khe costs OF the action"
While the Carter Medicine Com
pany's sole right to the red package
has been upheld by many previous nd
publications., these decisions are consid-i
esedsOf especial Importance, IN view OF,
the high character and standing OF the
cou which pronounced them.

One Of the brightest and incest little pa.

city hospitals lay on her bed moaning
with pain. She had Just come to con-
seriousness after a slight operation, and,
though only s years old. was exhibiting
heroic nerve.
Yet she couldn't keep from occasional
low cries escaping her. She was the sort
Of child who hates above all things to

stopped before her and, as she thought,
looked a bit reproachfully down at her,
she explained, between the paroxysms.

PRESIDENT EXPLAINS ACTION.
Writes Letter on Coin Motto ''In God
We Trust

President Roosevelt has written a Wig
orus letter on the subject of the omission
from United States coins OF the motto
In God We trust" copies Of which have
been mailed 10 the numerous correspond
ents who have written protests 10 him
because Of the absence Of the motto.
Copies of the letter were given out by
Secretary Loeb yesterday, that the posi-
ton OF the President might be MADE plain
TO the people.
The President says that when the ques-
ton OF new coinage came up the law
was looked Up and Il was found that
there was no warrant for using the mot
70. He declared that his own feelings 10
the matter were due 20 a firm conviction
that 10 put such a motto on coins. or
TO use il in any kindred manner. not only
does no good, but does positive harm;
which is, in effect, very near sacrilege.
In all my life I have never heard any
human being speak reverently OF this
motto on the coin" the letter reads "or
show any sign OF is having appealed
70 any high emotion in him. But I have
literally hundreds OF times heard it used
as an occasion Of. and incident 10. the
sneering ridicule which is above all things
undesirable that so beautiful and exalted
phrase should excite"
The letter concludes by stating that II
Congress alters the law. and directs the
President 10 replace on the coins the SEN
tence in question. the direction will be
Immediately put into effect.
