IKE weed That this Is 30 in many cases.
the plaintive letters from motherless girls
prove.
Perhaps these fathers do not realize
just how lonely are the lives of their
motherless children, how their hearts ache
for the mother-love. and their young
spirits for sympathetic interest in the
problems confronting childish minds that
seem so big and unsolvable TO them A
GOODNESS, a restraint a gap of some sort,
has come between father and child. The
father makes no effort to bridge it, and
the child, as rule, feels too timid. AS a
| result, the girl goes on the stage, or elopes
with some worthless fellow, the son fire
quents pool rooms or goes to other OBJ
jectionabe places for nmusements, and
the father wakes up at this stage to won
der why these things are. 1t is too late
now to make over the child's life. The
boy or girl has already built his world
and the father cannot now give the ati-
vice and help which, by reason of his
years and experience would have made
that world fairer and happier.

SOME DIET HINTS FOR
THE BUSINESS WOMAN

Many business woman suffers frsm
digestive troubles. She is a frequent
visitor in doctors offices. is constantly
taking medicines of various kinds, vet
in the long run seems little better for
all her efforts. A little simple regulat
ing of her diet might remedy the whole
matter, making her better physically
in every way and save her the expense
of doctors bills and medicines.
business life is not home life The
worker in an office or store needs to
offset certain conditions OF this life by
certain kinds of food, which are not
essential, perhaps, to the active home
worker.
Many woman after breakfast has a
heavy, uncomfortable feeling about the
stomach which she quite rightly at
tributes to dyspepsia. But perhaps it
Is not so easy for her to find the cause.
The Innocent looking dish of oatmeal is

Oatmeal is not digested, to any ex-
tent. In the stomach. Its digestion be-
gins by mixing it we'll with the saliva

is not continued until the oatmeal has

necessary admixture with the saliva.

stomach, heavy. undigested mass. a

thoroughly, not. that the chewing in
itself is necessary. but 1t is essential

WHY THIS GIRL WENT ON THE STAGE.

A girl herself is usually blamed for go
ing on the stage, II by so doing her life
Is wrecked. She is condemned by the un-
thinking public as headstrong or wilful,
and their verdict is, that nobody is to
blame but herself for what has hap
pened.
But this is not always the case. Nobody
knows in just how many instances. par
ents themselves are to blame.
A. young girl writes, Mamma is dead.
Poppa doesn't seem to care much what l
do. Folks Fay I am pretty and that nave

The most important amendment to the
reliability contest rules for 1910 over
those of last year is the fixed penalty
schedule, which is to be applied at the
final examination Of the cars at the COM
pletion OF q contest. In the schedule just
announced each Of the essential parts of
car are given q definite number Of
points penalty for defective construction,
greater or less. according to their rela-
tive Importance to the whole makeup Of
the car and the condition In which such
part Is found at the finish of a contest
The adoption OF this schedule at once
does away with the somewhat uncertain
and indefinite penalty of points OF the
1903 rules, for time consumed and money
value Of material used in placing a car
in a safe and satisfactory operating con-
ditlon, and places each any every con-
testant upon the same footing, with the
same penalties applying to all for each
defective and damaged part which the
contest may develop: In other words, It
reduces the penalization scheme to as
nearly as possible an exact and known
proposition. instead Of an uncertain and
varying one.
The avoidance Of work on a car after
final examination and the calculation of
time consumed and fractional values OF
material used enables a rapid determine
ton of the relative merits of each OF tho
cars and insures speedy settlement of
the contest after the close of the la at
days run. The elimination Of fractional
penalizations also facilitates the an
nouncement of the score of the cars at
the end OF each days run during a CON
test.
