DAME NATURE HINTS
When the Food Is Not Suited.

When Nature gives her signal that
something is wrong it is generally
with the food. The old Dame Is al
ways faithful and one should act at
once.
To put off the change is to risk that
which may be 1rreparable. An Arizona
man says:
For years could not safely eat any
breakfast. l tried various kinds Of
breakfast food, but they we're all soft,
starchy messes which gave me dis
tressing headaches. I drank strong
coffee, too, which appeared to benefit
me at the time, but added to the head
aches afterwards. Toast and coffee
were no better, for I found the toast
very constipating.
"A friend persuaded me to quit the
old coffee and the starchy breakfast
foods, and use Postum and Grape-Nuts
instead. I shall never regret taking
his advice. I began using them three
months ago.
"The change they have worked in
me is wonderful. I now have no more
of the distressing sensations in my
stomach after eating, and I never have
headaches. I have gained IL pounds
in weight and feel better in every way.
"Grape-Nuts make delicious as
we'll as nutritious dish, and I ind
that Postum is easily digested and
never produces dyspepsia symptoms"

When Children Are convaIescing.

1t is. of course, very tedious for an
actively inclined child to lie quietly In

resources of mother and nurse are

let him get up and say nothing about
1t to the doctor; but, though you may
hoodwink him, you can't hoodwlnk
the heart. and it will make the child

prisingly busy the year round. The
equine dentist IL OF course provided
with special instruments for the en-
traction and filling Of the teeth Of ami
mails needing attention. 1t is rather
interesting to observe an operation In
horse dentistry. One Of the instru-
ments, called a speculum. presents the
appearance of an ivory handle and
four small bars of nickel working on
a ratchet and crossing one another In
such manner as to form hollow
square that can be made large or small
by the turning of a screw. Setting
this device to the proper size, the
horse dentist win slip 1t gently into
the suffering animals mouth, which,
during the operation, La kept partly
open by groom, and when the instru-
ment Is fitted upon, say. one Of the
back teeth the beasts mouth is kept
open as wide as possible.-Harper's

ARE Dull
Market Almost Stagnant Yesterday
Suggested Powerful Interests
suspendine Operations.

New York, Nov. 1.-THE stock mar.
ket retained its dullness to the point
of stagnation today, Gefiecting the
suspension of operations on large
scale by the powerful interests which
have caused the upward movement
throughout the month. With the aG
vent of fullness and neglect there
have emerged into view various fea
lures which tend to caution in the
conduct of operations. The days
price changes in the usually most &C.
tive stocks were trining.
An example of the occasion for dis
trust was found in the incident of the
erratic fluctuations in Cleveland, Gin
cinnati, Chicago and st. Louis Sales
of a 100 share lot yesterday at 81,
following sales on the previous day
at II, and an immediate rebound to
70, gave rise to widespread comment
and criticism.
The smallness of transactions
which caused the wide fluctuations
gave the impression that that stock
is being used to convey an object les
son rather than being subjected to inn
portant liquidation pressure or re
fecting developments regarding the
property. The effect on sentiment
was to suggest a record of artificial
valuations in some of the current

are not the small sets connected by a

take them to any reliable jeweler. In
some places the set can be gold wash
ed for as little as 30 cents. The cost
IL never higher than would commonly
be paid for any useful christening or
baby shower gift.

pair Of delicate white tufts at Its

these tricks, it has repertory which
Is not often equaled by any other

Don't snub the child who Is a per-
petual Interrogation mark, 1t Is big
temptation. but think how dreadful it
would be If your little questioner had
leen born deaf and dumb or mentally
deficient.
Losing your patience when Willie
bothers you with his "Why?" or Nancy
never speaks without question to be
answered will throw your children
back on themselves for information,
and you will learn too late you have
lost your hold on your little ones.
If you do not answer questions be
sure some one else will--neither so
wisely nor SO truthfully Many a
nervousness for which you cannot ac-
count can be traced to awful stories
told them by servants when you re-
fused to crafty childish curiosity be-
cause you were too busy.
Do not feel that your child is an In
FAINT prodigy because he is given to the
why and wherefore" His quest n
ing is only natures way Of making in
struction easier to you. See that you
heed it.
Ii you think the questioner a wonder
you can rarely hide your opinion from
him. The result? He becomes that
most obnoxious nuisance-a child who
asks questions to show off and be
smarty. Likewise will his vanity take
boom that is not beneficial.
Again, do not tell a child he is a
stupid" or laugh uproariously when
he asks you question that seems
ridicuously easy to you. 1t is this
habit that keeps many children silent
when by going to mother or father
their doubts could easily be set
straight.
