sis. which will include representatives
from every civilized country in the
world, has been made by the National
Association for the Study and Proven
ton Of tuberculosis The congress
will be held In Rome from September
"a to 80, 1911, and will be similar in
many respects to that held in Wash

gress, which meets every three years.
Will be under the direct patronage Of
the king and queen Of Italy.
AZ American committee of 100 will

years. More than twice as much
money Is being spent in the fight
against tuberculosis by private socie-
ties and institutions, and the appropri-

county have increased nearly four
fold. It is estimated that nearly $751;
100000 will be spent in anti-tubereulo-

sensed how I loved him and had
come to me out of pity? So hung

He was patient enough with me-
too patient for our good-until Allen

the country.
1t was truth, though all along until
was full grown I'd been called
almost ugly, tearing tomboy, all
frowsy and freckled, who cared no
more for frocks than to have them
whole and clean, and had rather play
hop-scotch and ride races bareback
on the colts than sit and sew patch
work, or make buildings. or darn
stockings.
Aunt Jane had changed all that
she was my mothers sister, and let
me see she cared to have me look

cared-nobody had until Aunt Jane
came. She made me pretty dresses,
and brushed my hair till 1t was like
spun gold, and took of my freckles
with buttermilk. and kept me in
gloves till my hands were baby soft.
She was to blame for the boys both
loving me. But they never held 1t
against her--and certainly 1 don't.
It's right down pitiful to think of a
girl growing up and never knowing
what it is to play the great game.

PUZZLED
Hard Work, Sometimes, to Raise
Children.

Children's taste Is ofttimes more &C
curate, in selecting the right kind Of
food to At the body, than that OF
adults. Nature works more accurate
ly through the children.
A Brooklyn lady says: "Our little
boy had long been troubled with
weak digestion. We could never per-
suade him to take more than one taste
Of any kind Of cereal food. He was
a weak little chap and we were puz-
zled to know what to feed him on.
zone lucky day we tried Grape
Nuts. Well, you never saw a child
eat with such a relish, and it did me
good to see him. From that day on
1t seemed as though we could almost
zee him grow. He would eat Grape
Nuts for breakfast and supper, and ]
think he would have liked the food
for dinner.
1.-THE difference in his appearance Is

came very fond of Grape-Nuts and has
been much improved In health since
using 1t.
I'VE are now healthy family, and
naturally believe In Grape-Nuts.
"a friend has two children who were
formerly afflicted with ricketts,. was
satisfied that the disease was caused
by lack of proper nourishment. They
showed 1t. So I urged her to use
Grape-Nuts as an experiment and the
result was almost magical.
"They continued the food and today

course, my friend Is a firm believer In
Grape-Nuts for she has the evidence

It's hard loving and losing just

but at twenty you think everything
of your own way. John said l was
twenty only by the book-the big
Bible, where all our ages were set
down. He would have it, outside OF
that, l was Just about seven. But he
thought l was old enough to marry
him.
Somebody else thought SO, too-Al-
len Waite, the squire's lame son.
We had gone to school together, all
three-John had always helped Allan
on and off his pony, and in class it
had often come my way to make
things little easier for him. A good
lad he was, in spite of being SO sadly
spoiled.
1t hurt his people terrible to have
their only child a cripple. He had
been born straight and lusty as any
body's child-it was fever that gave
him the withered leg and twisted
foot Except for them, he was fine
and well made, with face like a
picture. But some way, when l
looked at him, Johns face always
came between-a good ugly, honest
face, with the kindest brown eyes to
light it.
l loved John all the way up from
spelling books-yet he never cared
for me, except as a little lonesome
girl, until / was rising nineteen. All
at once it came to him that he
couldn't live without me. He told
me so right away-if Joy ever killed

A happily-wedded matron is the

Before the matron's engagement to

she met her dear" friend on the

Of the city.

the commercial standing of the pros

by paying for special report from

Religion should be native. 1t
should be concrete and applicable.
Religion is the natural expression of
living. not a set of actions or of hab-
its, or a posture of the mind added to
the daily life. The type Of religion,
therefore, is conditioned on the kind
of living, and the kind Of living is
conditioned, in it's turn, very large
" on the physical and economic ef-
fectiveness Of lige. The religion OF
the open country should run deep into

The polyglot policemen of Paris, who
