The WAY Of the Child.

A small boy who had recently
passed his fifth birthday was riding
in a car with his mother, when they
were asked the customary question:
How old is the boy?" After being
told the correct age, which did not
require a fare, the conductor passed
on to the next person.
The 10y sat quite stillss II ponder
ing over some question, and then.
concluding that full information had
not been given, called loudly to the
conductor, then at the other end Of
the car: "And mothers 81"

Fur Fashions.

Sable, mink and sealskin are the
three skins which will be made up
into the costliest coat, bolero and half
dolman forms, while muskrat, pony
skin and mole-dyed squirrel skin will
be seen in motor and long cloaks.
Fur trimmed dresses will not be fire.
Quently seen, but cloth trimmings on
furs, such as the three choice varie-
ties above mentioned, will be. Stitched
bands of cloth are to be used to define
seams which heretofore were prefer
ably left underlined, and silk braids of
a close, fine mesh, will be employed
for the same purpose in connection
with soutache and lace ornamental
fastenings.
Wide revers of sable or fox VIII be
used for the squirrel-lined tweed
coats, and these, being usually meant
for practical warmth, are provided
with big storm collars, also lined with
fur. Scotch tweeds for motoring and
long cloth pedestrian cloaks will also
have fur in this way about the neck.

Handy Continuance.

One may have dozens of hooks in a
closet, yet they will not take the place
of one long curtain rod placed we'll
back in the closets where skirts can
be hung. The skirt hangers with large
hooks must be used and dozens Of
skirts can be hung on this pole and
take up so little room that it is re-
markable that the idea is so late in
making its arrival. Then If the hooks
are placed closely together in neat
rows, instead of here, there and every
where, the waists can be placed on
neat little paper hangers and hung in
orderly rows, and it does not mean
hanging several waists on one hook to
be overtopped with a petticoat or
bolero jacket, all to be taken down
when the lower waist is needed. If
women learned to properly place
hooks in the clothes presses and ward
robes there would be less demand for
more dress room.

A Definition Of Success.

How have the hypothetical scien-
lists and the opponents of unbelief
benefited themselves or humanity at
large by sowing the seeds Of doubt
broadcast in the world? The real SCI
entists do not fall in this category, for
they are believers in the real sense Of
the word they know too much. they
have seen too many mysterious mani
festations of the Divine creative pow
err. Now. those who l>etFe disposed Of
the Bible and all evidences of inspira-
ton, have written a great many books
and some of them have won what the
world at large lightly calls fame. Ac-
cording to the ordinary measures that
are applied in such cases, they have
been extremely successful, but real
success means the benefit of human
ity in some form or other. II no such
benefits can be shown as the result Of
their iNbors, their success Is not equal
to that achieved by the direst poverty
and the deepest ignorance. - Joel
Chandler, in Uncle Remus' Magazine.

WHEN A "HUNCH" HELD GOOD.
Chinese Laundry Ticket Suggested q
Bet on ewing Ting"

Kay Spence, well-known horseman
of Mexico, Mo-, won $1,000 at the
Louisville. KY, race meeting a short
time ago as the result of "hunch."
Mr. Spence has large breeding
stable of runners" near Mexico, and
attends all the big racing events in
the country. Not long. since he was
in Louisville and entered the betting
ring to see what odds were being Of
fered on the various entries. He
found that Joaquin was the favorite
at even money, and pulled his wallet
from his pocket intending to bet on
that horse. His attention was at
tracted by something that fell from
his wallet to the ground, and he stoop-
ed and picked it up. 1t was Chi

the books" again and found that there
was an entry with Chinese name,
Wing Ting. at ten to one. That set
tied it. for he considered. he had re-
ceived "hunch" that ckhld not be
overlooked. Wing Ting won handily.
Needless to say, those who backed the
favorite considered Spence the sew

lake Sewing Easily.

The sewing in many housesolds is
left, like the housekeeping, for a
general disturbance Of happiness,
comfort, and health when, if a little
system were used, the burden would
be lighter. For instance, every house
needs napkins, table cloths, pillow
cases, washrags and towels. The
peaceful method is to secure these
long before they are actually needed,
and do the sewing at odd times. Cut
carefully by the thread the twelve
napkins, folding each one in clean it's
sue paper. Then when time lags,
sew napkin-ditto tablecloth. In
like manner tear from the muslin
half dozen pillow cases. When the
hands are idle, oyerseam the sides
and bottom, end haste the hem. This
can be done while conversing with a
friend. Put in fifteen minutes at the
machine finishing them, and you hard
ly know when you have made your
pillow cases or hemmed your linen

ssBOO-HOO"

DDS, has not made itself more ridicu-
lOus than any comment of ours could
make it.
Does Golfers expect to regain any
self-infiicted loss Of prestige by de-
monstrating thru suits for damages,
that it can be more artful in evading
liability for libels than the humble
but resentful victims of it's defamation,
or does it hope for starting campaign
of libel suits to silence the popular in
dignation, reproach and resentment
which it has aroused.
Golfers can not dodge this public
controversy by private law suits. 1t
can not postpone the public judgment
against it. That great jury, the Pub
lie, will hardly blame us for not wait
ing until We get petit jury in a court
room, before denouncing this prod
igal detractor of institutions founded
and fostered either by individuals or
by the public, itself.
No announcements during our entire
business career were ever made
claiming medicinal effects" for either
Postum or Grape-Nuts. Medicinal eff
fects are results obtained from the
use of medicines.
Thousands Of visitors go thru our
entire works each month and see for
themselves that Grape-Nuts contains
absolutely nothing but wheat, barley
and a little salt; Postum absolutely
nothing but wheat and about ten per-
cent of New Orleans Molasses. The
art of preparing these simple ele-
ments in scientific manner to obtain
the best food value and flavor, re-
quired some work and experience to
acquire.
Now, when any publication goes far
enough out of its way to attack us be-
cause our advertising is medical" it
simply offers a remarkable exhibition
of ignorance or worse.
We do claim physiological or bodily
results of favorable character follow
ing the adoption of our suggestions re-
garding the discontinuance of coffee
and foods which may not be keeping
the individual in good health. We
have no advice to offer the perfectly
healthful person. His or her health
is evidence in itself that the bever-
ages and foods used exactly fit that
person. Therefore, why change?
But to the man or woman who is
ailing, we have something to say as a
result of an unusually wide experience
in food and the result of proper feed
ing.
In the palpably ignorant attack on
us in Golfers, appeared this state
ment,-"One widely circulated para
graph labors to induce the impression
that Grape-Nuts will obviate the ne
cessity of an operation in append

deadly lying"

is strange that people from remote

Workers make a fad of buying the

smoked. And it isn't always the Booth
mixture that they want. l have filed

favorite tobacco Of many famous per.
sons. Smokers the country over have
heard Of this collection of recipes and
one feature of every mans trip to
New York is to try pipeful of some
big mans favorite tobacco. In most
cases this special mixture is so
strong that the nerves of the average
smoker cannot stand it. He has to
give up after a few pipefuls and go

When the symptoms of the trouble

This is identically the same form of

Are we to be condemned for suggest

lowing natural methods and for per-
fecting food that contains no "medi.

thousands of persons from sickness to
health? We have received during the
years past upwards of $4,000 letters
from people who have been either
helped or made entirely well by fol.
lowing our suggestions, and they are
simple.

OF the ailments common to some cot

III white bread, potatoes, rice and
other starch foods make trouble, quit
and use Grape-Nuts food which is
largely predigested and will digest,
nourish and strengthen, when other
forms of food do not. It's just plain
old common sense.
There's a Reason for Postum and
Grape-Nuts.

A Doctor Of Divinity, now Editor Of
a well-known Religious paper, has
written regarding the controversy be-
tween Golfers Weekly and the Re-
ligious Press Of the Country and 9TH
ers, including ourselves. Also regard
ing suits for libel brought by Golfers
against us for commenting upon its
methods.
These are his sentiments, with some
very emphatic words left out.
THE religious, Press owes you a
debt of gratitude for your courage in
showing up Golfers Weekly as the
"Yell-Oh Man." Would you care to
use the inclosed article on the Boo
Hoo Baby" as the "Yell-Oh Mans
successor"
"a contemporary remarks that Col
lier's has finally run against solid
hickory Post and been damaged in
its own estimation 10 the tune of
S750,000.00."
Here is a publication which has, in
utmost disregard of the facts, spread
broadcast damaging statements about
the Religious Press and others and
has suffered those false statements to
go uncontradicted until, not satisfied
after finding the Religious Press too
quiet, and peaceful, to resent the in
suits, it makes the mistake of wander
ing into fresh field and butts its rat
tied head against this Post and all the
World laughs. Even Christians smile,
as the Post suddenly turns and gives
it back dose of it's own medicine"
1T is a mistake to say all the World
laughs. No CHEEKY laugh comes from
Golfers, but it cries and boo hoos like
a spanked baby and wants $750,000.00
to soothe its tender, lacerated feel
ings."
Thank Heaven it has at last struck
a man with back bone enough to call
a spade spade" and who believes in
telling the whole truth without fear or
favor"
Perhaps Golfers with its utmost
disregard for the facts" may say no
such letter exists. Nevertheless 1t is
on file in our Office and is only one of
a mass of letters and other data, news
paper comments, etc., denouncing the
yellow" methods Of Golfers. This
volume is so large that a man could
not well go thru IL under half days
steady work. The letters come from
various parts of America.
Usually a private controversy Is not
interesting to the public, but this is
public controversy.
Golfers has been using the yellow"
methods to attract attention to itself,
but, jumping in the air, cracking heels
together and yelling Look at me"
wouldn't suffice, so 1t started out on a
"Holier Than Thou" attack on the Re-
ligious Press and on medicine.
We leave 1t to the public now, as we
did when we first resented Golfers
attacks, to say whether, in a craving
for sensation and circulation, its at
tacks do not amount to systematic
rhercenary bounding. We likewise

Bellinq a Rat.

You have probably read or heard
that the best way to rid house Of
rats is to catch one and fasten bell
about its neck. A boy in Delaware
tried the experiment two months ago.
He was badly bitten in making the
bell fast, but he turned the rat loose
and expected the tinkling Of that bell
would have great results. 1t did have.
In the first place. the rat who wore 1t
was constantly on the move all night.
and the tinkling bell kept the family
awake, and in the next the sounds
brought scores of new rats to the
house. Instead Of being afraid Of the
bell. they were charmed with the mu-
sic. Had the boy tied a harmonica
to another rats tail, the rodents would
have had a dance every night.
