SURPRISED HIM
Doctors Test of Food.

A doctor in Kansas experimental
with his boy in test of food and
gives the particulars. He says:
Il naturally watch the effect of diff.
ferent foods on patients. My own lit.
tie son, lad of four, had been ill
with pneumonia and during his conva.
lescence did not seem to care for any
kind of food.
81 knew something of Grape-Nuts
and its rather fascinating flavor, and
particularly of it's nourishing and
nerve-building powers, so 1 started the
boy on Grape-Nuts and found from
the first dish that he liked it.
"His mother gave it to him steadily
and he began to improve at once. In
less than a month he had gained
about eight pounds and soon became
SO well and strong we had no further
anxiety about him.
An old patient of mine, 70 years
old, came down with serious stomach

He had tried almost every kind of
food for the sick without avail.
Il Immediately put him on Grape
Nuts with good, rich milk and just a
little pinch of sugar. He exclaimed
when came next day why doctor I
never ate anything so good or that
made me feel so much stronger
II am pleased to say that he got
well on Grape-Nuts. but he had to
stick to 1t for two or three weeks,
then he began to branch out a little
with rice or an egg or two. He got
entirely well in spite of his almost
hopeless condition. He gained %
pounds In two months which at his
age is remarkable.

The average person gives very little

Systematic line breeding of a certain

There are two forms of potato blight
known as early blight and late blight,
which are very distinct in their action
upon the plant The early blight may
begin as soon as the plants are six
inches high, although it usually does
not do much injury until warm wealth
er approaches. Its action is general
ly slow.
Late blight usually does not appear
dntil after the first of August, and
only when the weather has been
warm and the atmosphere damp and
muggy for several days. Such condi-
lions are necessary for the develop
ment of the disease. When it occurs
ats action is very rapid. Usually it
begins at the lower portion of the
plant and works upward on the foil
age, causing it to turn black and wilt
at a very rapid rate. A whole patch

vice and deputy consuls, Interpreters,
etc, making total of about 1,200, and
it is the expressed determination of
the state department to elevate the
service in every possible way. A
working familiarity with the subjects
with which they will have to deal is
demanded to greater extent than
ever before
1t is the purpose of the state depart
ment to unity the work of the diplo-
matte and consular services in the in
terest of greater efficiency. For many
years it has been matter of regret
to the government that so many ma
tive foreigners occupy subordinate
positions in our consular service as
deputies and clerks. This, however.
has been largely matter of made
quate compensation, but the policy
from now on will be to substitute
Americans for foreigners wherever it
is possible to do so and considerable
progress has already been made in
this direction.
Within a comparatively short time
the percentage of foreigners in our
consular service has been reduced
from 46.1 per cent. to 1873 per cent,
and the percentage of Americans in
that service has been increased from
53.9 to S1.2 per cent. These percent
ages, however, apply only to clerk
ships paying $500 year or less, but
the work of wedding out foreigners
will continue as long as Americans of
the requisite capacity can be obtained
to fill the places.

standard of perfection. 1t is for such
a standard that all intelligent breed
ers are striving and the public will
pay high prices for such stock, as is

Ex-aotness of Detail the Secret of Sue

Exactness of Detail the Secret of Sue
At a recent luncheon a member of
the fair sex was discussed, and all
conceded she was a perfectly groom
ed woman"
"It isn't because of fine raiment,"
said one.
'fPerhaps not" remarked another.
''Why is it, then?" chimed in a third,
and the fourth settled the debate.
cts because she pays such attention
to detail"
If all women realized what this
meant more would earn the distinc-
ton of being well groomed. The ex-
actness of detail is a wonderful thing
toward making a woman appear well
groomed.
The careless woman is much in evil
dence, and frequently she is among
the wealthy. Yet her sister not inan-
cially so we'll to do makes a better
showing on a much less expenditure of
money, and all because she looks care
fully after the niceties of the toilet.
There is a knack In getting things on
well and keeping them so. The woman
whose heel is run owe cannot attract
any more favorable attention than the
one whose braid on the bottom of her
gown is frayed.
1t is the little things which make
one noticeable. How often a well
gowned woman will be seer whose
richness of toilet attracts FL eyes, yet
the otherwise perfect pictuSE is spoiled
by struggling locks of hair falling in
disorderly fashion over the back of her
neck. A hairpin would have adjusted
the trouble, but lack of e~xactness to
detail spoiled the whole costume.
It is downright laziness with many
women, this overlooking of the little
things in life. They feel too much eff
fort is called into play to stop and
properly adjust at the time the small
essentials that go to make a perfectly
groomed woman. This failing will
crop out in women who have every
thing to make themselves attractive,
and nicely to detail will be found in
many who have a difficult time In
making ends meet"
But it is just this quality which
makes others class them among the
perfectly groomed;" also makes them
more noticeable than the women of
wealth. A small rip In a glove will
spoil a rich costume, as will also a veil
with a noticeable hole in It. Such a
veil will even mar a beauty.
On rainy days the woman lacking
this essential quality of detail is I'VE
more noticeable, for she dons a cos
tune, usually any kind of a one, and
saunters forth. She is less likely to be
particular than on a bright day, and
her Indifference to minor detail makes
her anything but an attractive object.
She feels the rainy day is an excuse
for her costume and instead of dispel-
ling some of its gloom only adds to it
by failing to make herself an attrac-
tive object rather than the reverse.
