THE BEST TEACHER.
Experience Still Holds the Palm.

For real practical reliability and
something to swear by, experience
plain old experiences able to
carry a big load yet without getting
s~waybacked.
A So. Oak. found some
things about food from Old Expert

She writes:
II think | have used almost every
breakfast food manufactured, but
none equal Grape-Nuts in my esti-
nation.
Il was greatly bothered with weak
stomach and indigestion, with form
alton of gas after eating, and tried
many remedies for it but did not
find relief.
Then l decided | must diet and

Grape-Nuts because the doctor told
me could not digest starchy food.

Brussels net which extends in a fold
an inch and a half beyond the brim

rows of val. lace about two inches
wide. This Is laid in narrow side
plaits, and one row overlaps the other
slightly, This inside row Is finished
with a close set wreath Of tiny June
roses. A standing spray OF roses, or q
bow of velvet ribbon could be used
with this brim treatment for the adj
dition of height with good effect, al
though the model had no trimming on

GIRDLE SHOULD BE MARROW
important Fact That tho Woman Of
Middle Age VIII Do Well
to Remember.

If the middle aged woman insists up
on wearing a girdle, regardless Of the
length or width of her waist, she
should have that girdle very narrow
with long ends extending to the hem
Of her skirt. A certain well dressed
middle aged woman who looks much
slghter and taller than her true
measurements affects girdles of satin
or velvet ribbon Of black or a deep
shade of a color.
The belt portion of the accessory
never is more than an inch broad and
goes about her waist, closing under
two long ends, which are drawn over
the belt, but not knotted or bowed.
And these ends are weighted invisfbly,
for that middle aged woman knows
that to figures proport1oned similarly
to hers 1uttsring ribbons and frivolous
little Fittings belong not.

Elbow Gloves In Favor.

On the best authority it is said that
in the wholesale houses not only In
America, but in France and England
as we'll, there has been this season a
bigger demand for elbow length silk
gloves than there has been for at least
FIVE years. AT the anne time the
manufacturers at home and abroad
have scarcely been able to supply the
demand for long gloves Of glace kid.
These are facts that certainly con-
tradict the rumor that We are going
to veal long sleeves, and while there
can be no doubt that many Of the
smartest houses are making long
sleeved models. 1t seems certain
that they will have to wait at least
until autumn to find them taken up
with anything like enthusiasm.

SAYS UNCLE CAV

Back in Puckyhuddle 1 used to
have a friend who was given to fits
of the blues. One day he said to me,
It's an awful thing to be a failure.
and I'm a failure" He went off
down the struggling street with a
discouraged stoop in his shoulders
and didn't smile again until the little
towns one pariah dog licked his hand
and wagged it's tail in welcome.
This man had high ambitions. He
did not realize them. And yet, was
he failure? I think not. Puckyhud-
die would have been a sad sort of
place had it not. been for him. First,
there was that smile that never faded
save when he reproached himself for
being useless. That smile was the
most cheerful and catching thing in
the village. 1t was an antidote for
blues, anger and backbiting. The sew
ing circle had hard work turning out
lies as fast as this smiling member of
regulations could nail them.
He was a kind of big brother to
everybody in the community. He
believed in everybody-even in old
Hank Haskins, the town drunk, and
he managed to keep Hank sober long
enough every fall to lay in the win
ter coal and buy the children's
clothes against the opening of school.
Mrs. Haskins said he was an angel
and wanted to do his washing for
nothing, but he told her that she was
"craZy in the head" Pretty nearly
every man and boy in town told the
failure his troubles, and the failure
Strengthened them out. He had a lit
tie money, and anybody who needed
1t was welcome to it. And somehow
nobody ever thought of neglecting to
pay him back. The wild boys would
listen to him when they flouted the
town marshal and the preacher.
When PuCkyhuddle concluded If
stead of being a flag station for the
accommodation" the most prominent
citizen went up to the city to see the
general manager about it. He came
back disappointed. Then the failure
went up to the city and waited a day
and a half to see the general man
ager. When the clerks lost hope of
getting rid of the homely figure in
butternut they let him in. 81 tell
you how it isl he said to the general
manager, getting up close and put
ting his hand on the railway mans
knee, just as he talked to folks back
in Puckyhuddle, and the general man
ager listened. The failure went back
to Puckyhuddle on a freight train
that stopped long enough to deposit
material for a little red depot. Thus
he went through life. When he died
somebody with a clear perception of
human values started a subscription
which resulted in buying the most
imposing stone in Puckyhuddle's bury
ing ground. The inscription reads:

THE MENACE OF WOOD ALCOHOL

The widespread discussion which
followed the series of deaths in Ber-
lin as a consequence of the drinking of
liquors contaminated with wood alco-
hol has again attracted attention to its
poisonous character. There has been
considerable difference of opinion as
to whether the poisonous effect of this
substance is actually due to the alco-
hol itself or TO some impurities. which
are almost invariably present in all ex-
cept the most refined products. There
is a scarcity of facts regarding the
actual behavior OF wood alcohol in the
animal body, so that the underlying
causes of it's extremely poisonous char
acter are by no means clearly under
stood.
With respect to ordinary grain alco-
hol, the component of our alcoholic
beverages, the facts are better under
stood. Ordinary alcohol is, when TAX
en- in moderate quantities, rapidly
burned up in the body This fact has
been demonstrated by numerous ex-
periments With wood alcohol, how
ever, the case seems to be different,
according to the recent Investigations
in the Institute for the Fermentation
Industries at Berlin. 1t has been shown
tered to animals 1t may not be elimi-
mated completely even at the end OF
two days. The repeated ingestion OF
considerable doses of wood alcohol
may lead to q dangerous accumulation
thereof in the body. This factor has
heretofore not been duly appreciated.
These subtle dangers associated with
the use of wood alcohol deserve wide
spread notice because of the increas-
ing danger of it's unsupported entrance
as an adulterant of the cheaper grades
of distilled liquors and certain me
dicinaI products. The Unsuitable de-
mand for cheap liquors among certain
of the degraded classes, says the Jour
nal of the American Medical Associa-
ton, and the difficulty with which the
adnixture of the inexpensive wood al
cohoI is detected provide a constant
temptation to the inscriptions dealer
and a menace to the health of certain
classes However Objectionable adul-
teration may be on general principles
it becomes far worse when some sub
tie danger is harbored therein.

by the familiar air of the song and
the fairy legend of the words. He
was back at his mothers side and she
was singing to him. Enid Valentine
had gone out of his life and Inez
Claire had entered in.
A moment later he looked up. He
was alone in the tiny room and Inez
was out among the violets. Sunder
land arose and followed her.
She did not look up from the flow
ers when he stood beside her, but
went on cutting. A flush played about
cheeks and she longed for Jimmy
Dale to come so that she would not
feel so uncertain of herself.

EVENING CHIT
Are You a snob?
BIZ RUTH CAMERON.

eff there is one thing on earth that
I hate" L heard a young person ex-
claim Indignantly the other day. ''it's
a snob.''
The young person had just come
into contact with a newly rich friend
who had used her wealth as a plat
form from which to look supercilious-
ly down upon some of her old friends
Hence the young persons venom
against Snobs.
Now I wonder what the snob hater
would say if she knew that. in my
eyes at least she is very much of a
snob.
I think she would say. "The idea!
Why, how could 1 be snob even if
mouse"
But she is a snob just the same
You see there are many kinds of
snobbery. The snobbery at which the
that of wealth. Now I think she her
self is an intellectual snob.
She has had unusual educational ad-
vantages and she certainly uses them
as platform from which to look
superciliously down on those who have
not been so fortunate For instance,
just the other day 1 heard her openly
express her scorn of people who could
enjoy a moving picture show in the
presence of several people who do
count that form of amusement among
their pleasures. Again, she never sees
anyone reading popular novel with
out taking occasion to remark that she
has no time for such reading, and re-
ferring to some classical work which
she is enjoying.
Tell me- now, in the light of this in
tellectual snobbery, do you think the
young person has any right to object
because her wealthy friend often drags
references to her wealth into the con-
versation?
know another woman whom I
should call a moral snob. She was
and she has always led an exceptional
ly sheltered life. AS a result she has
a very high moral standard and is al
ways ready to look down upon those
who are less lofty minded. She will
make no allowance for a heritage in
ferior to her own or for a pressure OF
temptation which she has never
known. Upon anyone who does rot
accept her moral standard she looks
down with a snobbery that is just as
blatant as that of the rich woman.
To look down upon someone else for
not having what you are fortunate
enough to possess-whether the pos
session is material, mental or moral
surely that is the meaning of snob-
berry.
And surely the man or woman who
is guilty of intellectual or moral snob-
berry has greater reason to be ashamed
because he or she has more reason
to know better than the man or wom-
an whose advantage is that or wealth.
So let's be very, very careful before
we condemn snobs that we are not
condemning ourselves most heavily.

last Monday reported having encoun-
tered a field of icebergs, some of them
largo, which required two hours to
traverse. The same day two steamers
arriving at New York reported having
been compelled to change their course
to avoid heavy field of ice. One berg
they saw was fully 1000 feet in
length.
The steamship companies that have
gone back to the short route declare
they have done so because their pas
sengers demand it To what extent
that statement holds true it is, OF
course, impossible to ascertain. Most
American travellers want speed and are
willing to take chances. And while it
seems reckless to navigate fast steam
ships through fields of heavy ice their
owners are willing to do so if it will
increase their business. But no pas
senger is compelled to take the ice
berg route. He can embark on boat
travelling the southern course if he SO
chooses.
