Do not seek relief from suffering
simply, but free your system from the
disease which is the cause Of your
suffering. That is the message which
former victim of neuralgia sends to
those who are still in it's grasp. Hot
applications, powders that deaden the
senses and others tnat reduce the
heart action may cause temporary re-
lief but the pain is sure to return WITH
greater intensity.
Mrs. Evelyn Creusere, who has
beautiful home at S11 Boulevard
West, Detroit, Mich, suffered for
years with neuralgia until she tried
this tonic treatment. She says:
My trouble began about six years
ago and I did not rest as / should
have, but kept up about my many
duties. After a time I became so
weak could not do any work at all.

dreadful headaches in the back part

easily tired and at times r saw black

benefit. The pains were so intense
that my hair turned white.

strength and was almost in despair

Modern French Ideals.

The old notion that military heroes
held first place in the esteem of the
French people must be dismissed from
the mind If the French ever wor-
SHIPPED the soldier they have been
cured, and the proof seems to rest
in the result of the plebiscite taken
by the Petit Parisien on the pre-emi-
nence of the great Frenchmen of the
nineteenth century. AS there were
15,OOe,0 900 answers to the papers ques-
tions, a very fair expression of the
opinion of the nation was secured. If
the great soldier was still the idol of
France Napoleon should have receiy-
ed by far the most votes, yet he was
only fourth in the contest. Pasteur.
Victor Hugo and Gambetta each led
the great genius of war-Pasteur with
1885, ,425 votes, Hugo with 1,227,103
and Gambetta with 1,155,672. Napol.

These crude observations would

tradict other postulates which are &C

These, no doubt, are good working
principles, and may be applied in a
general way, but when we come to
anything SO subtle and SO psychic as

beings it would seem that it is regu-

Cne often hears the expression: "Oh
she's a mans womanl" or ",She's q
womans woman!" and certainly the
differentiation is just. Occasionally
it happens that the two are com
bined in one person, and then
we may, with the exactness OF
science, pronounce that the secret of
this woman's attraction lies in the
possession of that most subtle, most
difficult of all attributes to define,
which we know as charm.
But charm is very rare. II we
meet with it half a dozen times in a
)ife we may think ourselves fortunate.
We are sure that Cleopatra possessed
it, all the more so since modern re-
search goes to prove that she was not
beautiful, and we are equally sure that,
had she been the most beautiful of her
sex and that alone, we should never
have heard of her. Great beauty is
rare, but as all things are relative
in this life, it would seem that, COM
pared to that preeminent power which
we call charm, beauty is but COM
mon and everyday affair.
Beauty without charm will attract,
but not retain, while charm without
beauty will both draw and hold the ad-
rliration. Sometimes the two exist to-
gelher, as in the case of Nine. Reca-
mier. But can we doubt which of
these qualities it is that has made her
live? If her attraction had been mere
beauty, would she have been sought in
marriage at the age of 80 by one of
the greatest men of his time? True
she is known to have retained her
beauty to an extraordinary degree. but
sufficient explanation of this fact
in her history.

In this connection It may be inter-

would be gamers, from the fact that
the association of the two sexes at the
polls and in places of business would
tard to impart to them some of the
gentleness and modesty which are sup
posed to be the attributes Of woman.
This being so, the two sexes would
become more alike and, what, in eff
feet, would be the loss and gain from
this?
No doubt, in the sense of practical
utility, the gain would be great, for
the matter of sex, and the considera-
ton which is at present demanded for
women, is often a nuisance in the
rough and tumble OF business life, and
any new condition which placed the
sexes more on level would make nat-
ters simpler for working purpose. But,
on the other hand, how gfeat would
be the loss to the other side of mems
and womens natures! The disappear
apce of that element of mystery which |
so large part of the pow
or of attraction between the sexes |
would make life a somewhat tame af-
fair for each of them. UnqueStiOn- |
ably, if the mental, the psychic and

And why is this? What quality In
lnan does this course in woman sp-
neal to so strongly? Is it his selfish
ness, because he likes the implica-
ton OF his superior mental and physi-
ca' strength? Or is it his unseifshness,
because he is touched by the helpless
ness of another? Whichever it may
be, the fact remains that, although q
man may express approval of plucky
conduct in woman, it appeals to MIN
on the masculine lines, and he pays it
the same sort of tribute that he would
pay a man, which is an abstract com
IEendation that has nothing to do with
love or tenderness CREAMY strong GER
sonal emotion.
And as a man likes the woman who

But what of the women who belong
t, the SO much larger class, who, with
cut that rare quality of charm car
both attract and retain the admiration
and affection-whether of women or oi
men?
Evidently, If we reflect we find that
to be what is known either as "a mans
woman" or "a woman's woman" there
must be some powerfully attracting
quality.
Now, what is this quality? The sub
ject seems to fall into two divisions
Observation and reflection point to the
conclusion that an admired and be-
loved woman exercises wholly different
qualities to win the different sexes
What is it in women which most
pleases men and what is it which most
pleases women?
The mans woman, 1t would seem, is
very sure to possess, in some form, the
quality known as feminine. She iced
not of necessity be weak and helpless
indeed, that form of the feminine
may attract, but it will not hold-but
she must have some of the qualities
which specially differentiate her from
man. She must give him, in their
whole relation, what he could not get
from any man friend, as social or
relatlve-the quality which Goethe calls
the eternal feminine"
An experienced woman who knew
men pretty we'll once said to the writer
that there was one appeal to which
she had never known any man fail to
respond-and that was a certain sort
of cowardice in woman.
Let any woman, she said, no matter
how commonplace or ugly, become ter
ritied by tramp or burglar, or even
describe herself as having been so.
nd adds: You men have no concep-
tion of what that feeling is in poor,
defenseless woman" and the man Will
respond to it as cat to lstroking!
And why is this? What quality In

And now as 20 what makes a wcm.
ans woman" Certainly here the case
Is different
Would 1t ever delight woman and
win from her a warm emotion to hear
another woman proclaim that she had
shiyered with fright at the apprc ach
of tramp? She might sympathize
with the feeling and for the very rea-
son of its comprehensibility to her it
would fail to arouse In her any espe-
cial interest. AS matter of fact,
observation seems to prove that the
woman's woman is pretty apt to have
certain qualities Of the manly in her.
These, of course, must never be OF the
glosser sort; indeed, they must be dis
Guised, as it were, and appear only In
their ultimate effect
But observe closely the women
ionship, and extol to others, and see
II there is not something which salts
fies this same feminine desire to lean,
to be led, to be supported. which is of
piece with mans attraCtiveness to
women. Let woman-granting her
some personal attractions, of course
show herself capable to lead in
thought, in opinion, in public or pri-
vate action, and see If she will not
have, at once, host of admirers in
her own SEX II she has real powers,
she will have them in the other sex,
also, but see If the quality be not diff
ferent. With men, it will be an attrac-
tion, tribute to what she Goes, rath-
er than to herself, while with women
it will be more personal matter. They
go to hear her speak, rather than TO
hear her speech, and when they como
away they say: Isn't she interesting?
Isn't she wonderful?" while the male
portion Of the audience will speak only
of her subject and the manner of its
treatment
The truth is 1.-The ever womanly"
mas little charm for women, perhaps
because familiarity breeds contempt.
BY the same token, it delights men, be-
cause nothing is so fascinating as nys-
