PITTssURG STILL ASLEEP.

James Oppenheim. the short story writer. contributes 8 scathing arraign- ment of the city of Pittsburg to the May American magazine. Not the least part of it's astounding and compelling quality it the temperateness of the author. Mir. Oppenheim tells first of his impressions of the city on his initial visit and then of his investiga- tions resulting from his impressions. He reviews the work that has already been done in Pittsburg in the way of alieviating conditions and then says:
 But. for all that, Pittsburg is not awake. She does not see. There is merely a great buzzing at the top. Churches and professions. city depart ments 4and, public, bodies, the civic commission and an Associated Char ities. have not been able as yet to strike beneath the surface. The thoughtful will tell you confidentially:
 We can show the people the vaius of grading a street. the value of abat- ing the smoke nuisance. the value of building a new bridge-but, we can't make them see human values. When it comes to the problem.of the twelve hour work day. the wages of labor, the trade union. there is very little we can say of them W
 You may work earnestly to get a man a job but if there are two thou sand men out of work and only. one thousand vacant jobs. wherein have you touched the problem of unemploy- ment?
 You may try for time to stop prostitution by closing up houses and arresting women. but if shop girls are still paid wages on which they cannot live wherein has the problem been touched
 You may pass chiid-labor law but if family is so poor that every member of it must work to keep away starvation. wherein has the problem been touched?
 You may establish a Carngeie H. brary in a mill section. but if the labcrers are worked twelve hours . day and have neither time noi strength for reading. wherein has ths problem been touched? ;a

IT LOOKED GOOD
 TO ROBERT F. DOLL
He Became the Proud Possessor of a
 Spurious Check.

R. F. Doll negotiated for another check the other day and got it without a great deal of difficulty. The amount of 1t was s20. It was drawn on the Phoenix National bank. IL apparently bore the signature of NJ. B. Brooks, a wealthy farmer west of the city. But the signature of MT. Brooks was ap- parent rather than real, as MT. Doll subsequently learned. and he set the law in motion with a view to the over hauling of Jack Pardeaux. for whom he had caShed the check. in order that he might be given an opportunity to explain by what authority he took lib- critics with the name Of MT. Brooks. But PardeauX had not left himself iy- ing around in the community where anybody could stumble over him. There was a rumor. but a very vague one. that he had been seen a: Tempe after he had been seen by Mir. Doll and Deputy Sheriff Woolf went over to make inquiry.
 The officer quickly found a man sit ting in a saloon that he believed was Pardeanx. He made various inquiries s l.. the time when he had first been seen in town and could not learn that he had appeared there be fore shortly after II o'clock. From the information the of ficer had of his last appearance in Phoenix yesterday, he could have reached Tempe not much before that time
 Finally he accOsted the suspect who said that he he'd arrived from elaricopa on the morning train and said rha: he had had treakfdst immediately after his arrival at Hollands restaurant. The officer took him to the restaurant and the proprietor said he had served him a little after :l o'clock.
 The deputy sheriff still not sure Of his man determ.n,d d tO bring him back 10 Phoenix and did so. He turned him ever to Deputy Sheriff Olea at the depot and was about to take the even ing train back when Olel' called him, saving that the man had confessed that he was Pardeaux and did not want to he the means of having the officer set out on a useless chase.
 Pardeaux had for some time been employed by MT. Brooks. who gave him q check last Saturday for sS75. That was made the basis for his subsequent financial operations. The signature of the forged check did not overwhelm- ingiy resemble that of MT Brooks, but Mir. Doll does not pose as handwrit- ing expert. Besides. PardeauS seemed to have an honest face and it did not occur to MT. Doll that he might have crafty hand.
 Pardeaux is Nova Scotian about 90 years of age

FOOD FOR MEMORY The Kind That Builds Up the Brain.

It is hard to believe that certain kinds of food will strenthen the mem ory. and yet upon the condition of the brain depends the character of the mind. and it's power to remember and to exert itself in various ways. and n healthy brain can only be maintained by well selected food.
 Now we know that daily use of the brain uses up certain. parts that are thrown out through the pores to the outer surface of the skin. This waste is natural and must be made up from food.
 Grape-N Nuts food was made espe- cially to rebuild the brain and nerve centers. An experience in Chicago will illustrate:
 "I had a terrible siege of gastritis: my stomach refused everything in the way of food until got hold of Grape- Nuts It was perfectly wonderful and marvellous to see the difference-i began to improve at once.
 T weighed myself about that time and found that I had llS pounds to my credit. gained in weight, strength and health steadily and rapidly. and now weigh 160 pounds and am strong and in better health than ever in my life.

When started in it seemed difficult to memorize one but my memory has been growing bet ter every day and I now find it easy to commit to memory without diffi- culty.

THOSE ALL.lMPoRrAhr STAYS.


 livery woman nowadays knows the importance Of the corset. Far better to pay a dollar for ones shirtwaist verse this order; for on good lines of the corset depends the success of th. overgarments. and the inexpen- siva frock on a perfe,t figure is far more attractive than the costliest ctosume or a badly proportional cne. The new corsets are quite as long over the hips as models of the past two years have been, but there is a decided difference aooVe the waist line. The corset is shaped by means of deep Vs or gussets TO give much lowe rbust effect The top of the cor set also is net as high as it was a informal peasant blouses uf the year demand an accentuared bust. to fall in correct. graceful lines. The extremely transparent yoke and sleeve cu. all in one require 6 low bust eff fer to be in good shape
 The short, stout woman may achieve a long waisted figure if she will have her corsets fitted witt waist and hips under frs. considera tfon and then have several inches cut of fthe top of the model. which ii all probability will be far too high for her at the bust and under the arms. Of course. no sane wom2r now thinks of buying a corset or the old hit or miss plan when ;he shops make a feature of fitting all models above the most trifling price and perfectly fitted and adjuste ed corset may be obtained by giving uI half an hour of ones time in fit ting room.

ESCAPED DEATH
UNDER The CARS
THIS MAN STOOD ON SIDE TRACK
MATCHING APPROACH OF A
TRAIN ON MAIN LINE-cooL
HEADED GIRL JERkED HIM
FROM IN FRONT OF CARS.

1t is doubtless fine plan to watch
the main line for trains at railroad
crossings, but there is one man in
Fargo who isn't going to stand on q
side track in the future. not If he
knows It. AS a result OF the cool
headedness Of Margaret Berkmier, an
employee in the manufacturing depart
ment of Joseph & Hoenck. this same
man owes his life.
The man. whose name could not be
learned. stood on a side track at the
Broadway crossing of the N. p. late
yesterday afternoon. His entire at
tention was wrapt in a passenger train
approaching from the west on the
main line. 5e
In the meantime string of box
cars were being backed down on the
sidetrack from the east. Miss Berk-
mier yelled to the man to watch out.
but he apparently did not realize the
situation. With the cars only yard
or so away, the girl grabbed the man
and fairly dragged MIN from his peril
Gus place. All he could do was pour
thanks on the one who saved his life.
