rthe Englishwomen's charter of rights parently, been brought forward in the hope of passing them into law either tomorrow or the next day, but rather with the idea of providing a basis of discussion, of drawing at tentiOn to womens disabilities in Great Britain, and of codifying "ad- vanced" feminine opinion on the req sons and methods for removing them
 The parliamentary sponsor of these nine bills is Sir Charles McLaren, and their author is his wife. Lady McLar- en. well known, accomplished and hard working champion of her sex.
 In the very common case where a wife shares in the conduct and man. agement of her husbands business the women's charter proposes that the property thus amassed and the profits thus earned, instead of belong ing exclusively to the male partner, shall in future be shared equally by husband and wife. And if the eco- nomical position of the wife is held to be unjust and percarious, that of the widow is still more so. The old common law right of dover has in England been whittled down to al most nothing. At the present time an English husband is at liberty, if he chooses, to will the whole of his real and personal property away not anly from his wife, but from his children. Again, in cases of intes- tacy. the law leans heavily to the side of the man. If the wife dies intestate the husband succeeds to the whole of her personality and to the life enjoyment of her estates. unless they should be entailed on another branch of the family. If. on the other hand. the husband dies intes- tate, the wife inherits one third only of his personal property if he has children. and half if he has no chil- dren; the other half, in default of other next of kin, reverting to the crown. In the case of the death of a daughter or son, the mother inherits nothing from either: the whole goes to the father or the fathers next of kin The women's charter proposes to change all this-Q) by restoring the ancient right of dover, extending it to personality and making it inde- pendent of the husbands disposition; @ by making the rights of husband. wife and children to real property, in cases of intestacy. the same as to personal property; (3) by allotting one-half of the real and personal es- tate of a husband or wife who has died intestate to the surviving widow or widower, and by dividing the re- maining half equally among the chil- dren, or. if there be no children, by allowing the widow or widower to inherit the whole of the property;
 4) by permitting mothers to inherit with fathers from intestate children; O) by forbidding any per son to disinherit. his 0 rher children by limiting testamentary power to not more than one-half the property of either parent. and by dividing the re- maining half equally among the chill dren after payment of dower.-Har- per's Weekly.

FOOD
Ready Cooked, Delicious
and Nourishing

In making up lunch for picnickers, some form of substantial food that can not be easily injured in transit, should be supplied, and the most ideal article for that purpose is Grape Nnts This food comes in l5 cent package, is already thoroughly cooked and can be used either dry or with the addition of some milk or cream.
 Grape Nuts food is used by some epicures in frying fish, for it adds a delightful favour and is naturally superior to the ordinary crumbed crackers or corn meal for this pur- pose.
 In addition to the convenience of Grape-N Nuts food. its highly concen- trated food value should not be lost sight of.
