AFTERNOON DRESS.

have politely advised them to pluck the beams out
OF their own eyes. But in spite of all criticism
these dress reformers insist that originally they
made misstatement when they announced that,
as d whole the women of Chicago and its environs
display an utter lack of sense in purchasing for
the boudoir and wardrobe and exhibit bad taste
in dress IN the drawing room and the street In
fact now that the kettle began it, they go
further. They declare that dressing is altogether
a lost art In Chicago and that the women OF all
classes overdress until they resemble animated
clothes horses laden with pounds Of unnecessary
drygoods and hideous with junble Of coIors.
Having thus emphasized their views, these de-
ternined leaders are proceeding with their plans

THEY WASTE THEIR TIME WHO
ASK HIM TO LET UP ON
CORRUPTION.

WashinSton.-Tha there will be no
letup in President Roosevelts policy of
warning against rottenness and cor
ruption," was emphatically declared by
the President Wednesday in an ad-
dress to the delegates to the Depart
ment of superintendent of the Ma
tional Educational Association during
their reception at the White House.
Continuing, the President gave his
views on educational methods at con-
siderable length and with characters
tic catholicity of thought and vigor of
expression.
President Roosevelt in his address
to the convention said in part:
"Of all the bodies of citizens that /
have received here at the White House
there is meme that occupies more i'm
portant relation than yours. | am
tempted to say none has come that has
occupied as important a relation to the
nation, because you men and women
who deal with education, represent the
great American policy of education for
all children, a relation to the family,
relation to the future of our whole
people, such as no other like number of
individuals can bear. | own six of the
children that you educate, and l am
prepared to extend cordial sympathy
TO some of you
Seriously, friends, it is idle for any
man to talk of despairing of the fu-
ture of this country, or feeling unduly
alarmed about it, if he will come in
contact with you here and with the
forces that you represent. Fundamen-
tally this country is sound; morally no
less than physically. Fundamentally
in its family life and in the outside ac-
tivities of its individuals, the country
is better end not worse than it for
merly was.
This does not mean that we are
to be excused if We fail to war against
rottenness and corruption, if we fail
to content effectively with the forces
of evil; and they waste their time who
ask me to withhold my hand from deal
ing Herewith But it is worth while
to smite the wrong for the very rea-
son that we are confident that the
right will ultimately prevail
81 trust that more and more our peo-
pie will see to it that the schools train
toward and not away from the farm and
the workshop. We have spoken a great
deal about the dignity of labor in this
country; but we have not acted up to
our spoken words; for in our educa-
tion we have tended to proceed upon
the assumption that the educated man
was TO be educated away from. and
not toward labor

times, who left such marvellous works
of architecture and art behind them

Funeral of Father Leo.

Denver.-Never before in the history
of the Catholic church, it may be, have
such high honors been paid to a de-
ceased friar as attended the funeral
obsequies Wednesday of Father Leo at
st. Elizabeth church. Following a
solemn requiem high mass, attended by
crowd that filled the church and over
flowed along the street for half a
block: sermon by Father William
O'Rvan and the final blessing of the
coffin, the body was borne from the
church to the hearse and the process

The body, followed by the prayers
of his people, was taken at 2:3O O'Clock

Jersey. where the dead friar will be in

monastery where he prepared himself
for the priesthood and was ordained

TIE
General Demand

Of the Well-Informed OF the World has
always been for simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its COM
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir OF SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits OF the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA is given
the preference by the Well Informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine-manufacture by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents

On Carneqie.

Andrew Carnegie, at a dinner that
was recently given in his honor in New
York, told an amusing story at his own
expense.
Il was travelling on an English rail-
road Londonward last year." he sai2,
"and had chosen seat in a non-smDlS-
ing carriage. At a wayside station a
man boarded the train and sat down in
my compartment, and lighted vile
clay pipe.
This is not a smoking carriage

All right, governor said the man.

at it, pocketed it, but lighted his pipe
nevertheless. At the next station, how

Calling guard, l told him what hGd
occurred and demanded that the smok-
er's name and address be taken.
Yes, SIR said the guard, and hur-

HER CHOICE OF DEMISE.
Pathetic Thought of Little Girl Who
Had Lost Playmate.

Mary had for neighbor a small play
mate, much-loved and attractive boy.
The little lad rushed across the street
one day, throwing back glance at his
mother. At that instant trolley car
swept around the corner and the re-
sulting tragedy threw the town into
mourning. Each family wept as
though its own son had been lost.
Mary was utterly disconsolate and,
little as she had previously known of
death, realized in childish way the
added horror of this one. In her con-
vulsive grief, and while her father and
mother sat with sobs in their throats
and tears overflowing, Mary straight
ened mp and sobbed:
Mother when l die 1 hope it will be
of disease and not of damage!"

A lady writer who not only has done

food for brain work and to develop
healthy children. She writes:-
Il am an enthusiastic proclaimer of
Grape-Nuts as regular diet. l for
merly had no appetite in the morning
and for 8 years while nursing my four
children, had insufficient nourishment
for them.
"Unable to eat breakfast felt faint

eat cold chops, sausage, cookies, dough

Being a writer, at times my head felt
heavy and my brain asleep.
When l read of Grape-Nuts 1 began
eating it every morning, also gave it
to the children, including, my 10
months old baby, who soon grew as
fat as little pig, good natured and
contented.
Within a week 1 had plenty of
breast milk, and felt stronger within
two weeks. | wrote evenings and
feeling the need of sustained brain
power, began eating small saucer of
Grape-Nuts with milk instead of my
usual indigestible hot pudding. pie, or
cake for dessert at night.
