HONEST CONFESSION
A Doctors Talk on Food.

There are no fairer set Of men On
earth than the doctors, and when they
ind they have been in error they are
usually apt to make honest and manly
admission of the fact
A case in point is that of a practi-
toner, one Of the good old school, who
lives In Texas. His plain. unvarnished
tale needs no dressing up:
IT had always had an intense preju-
dice. which can now see was unwar.
rantable and unreasonable, against all
muchly advertised foods. Hence,
never read line Of the many ads of
Grape-Nuts. nor tested the food till
last winter.

health, and visiting my youngest son,
who has four of the ruddiest. healthi-
est little boys ever saw. ate my
INST dish Of Grape-Nuts food for sup
per with my little grandsons.
II became exceedingly fond Of it
and have eaten a package OF It every
week since, and find It delicious, re-
freshing and strengthening food. leav,

eructations with which I was for

pleasantly upon my stomach as this

The W/oman Beautiful
by NINE. QUI YIYE

There is only one way of reforming
a hayward husband. That way is by
gaining his respect. The usual method
OF nagging and weeping is a worthless
and obsolete system. A clever wom-
an with humor, intelligence. reason
and good nature-don't smile, there
are such women and they are not
dead--can bring the most unruly hus-
band into line. She does not harp for
ever on her own sufferings. II he dis
sipates. she very tactfully shows him
how his waste of time ruins his own
chances for good work and success.
She realizes that II he goes out with
the boys night after night, it may be
because there isn't much at home to
attract him. She becomes his good
old pal. and If she keeps strong
heart and a steady head. the time
comes when she can't drive him away
from her.
Naturally a pretty woman Is COM
pIex. She has no desire to make her
self plain.
There are marriages of unequal In
tellects as there are marriages of diff
ferent characters. But II one loves
truly and deeply the plainest goose
will always be swan. The moment
that we begin to criticize and to find
fault. the rosy glow Of love grows
dim. Twilight descends on young Mr..
Cupid and darkness is on the way.
The keen-eyed wife makes her first
great mistake when she begins to pick
flaws and seeks mental blemishes. II
a mans heart is properly located. II
he is faithful. willing to toll for his
family. and gives his wife all the ten
der little attentions that rightly be-
long to her. she can well AFFORD to
overlook the fact that he occasionally
forgets to put his slippers away or
that he does not handle his soup
spoon exactly to her fancy.
With some people the matrimonial

Most of the domestic unhappiness
that mars the beauty of a delightful
world is caused by individuals trying

Times have changed. and what your
mother taught you may not be proper
teaching for him. Guide your boy
with love and tenderness. When he
makes mistakes don't scold him. Just
say you're sorry. and isn't It fine that
he will know what to avoid. And
don't forget that you must progress as
fast as he does-if you can-so you
will understand. The right kind OF a
mother is always Just the same age
rs her child. She is his good chum.
and his jolliest. most inspiring friend.

cular development. but equilibrium
and grace. The habitual pose Of the
body is the first matter for critical at
tention. Plato maintained that those
who were educated in mind and
morals only and possessed unframed
bodies were cripples. The best way
to acquire pose and grace is to seek
good gymnasium. As the body be-
comes strong. the spirits will be hap

Legislators Try 20 Confess Before

COLUMBUS, Ohio. May l2.-With
two legislative boodling probes under
way today, one by the grand jury ana
the other by senate investigating
committee, an unusual race IL on
While the grand jury Is trying to IN
dict legislators, II Is expected that
the latter will try equally as hard 10
get before the senate committee ana
confess. II they can confess TO the
committee before the grand jury can
indict them they will be immune from
prosecution.
AS a consequence OF this situation,
II Is expected that the grand jury from
now on will not only make unusual
efforts TO push It's investigation as
rapidly as possible. but that II Will
also make reports as fast as indict-
any efforts on the part OF the indicted
ones to get an immunity bath from
the senate committee before the In
dictments are reported.
Although the announced purpose OF
the senate In appointing a committee
TO investigate Its own members was
that any who are under suspicion
might be publicly cleared II they are
not guilty, 1t Is nevertheless being
pointed out that under the state laws
any OF the bride takers who give evil
dence OF their guilt before the com
mittee will be immune from prosecu-
ton. The committee today Is conduct
ing its investigation behind closed
doors and no announcement has been
made OF its procedure.
