| THE COMMON PEOPLE; ROSE RAPIDLY

The late Plus X, known as 'the peas
ant pope" was born Of humble par
ents on June 2, 1885, in the obscure
little town OF REESE. Italy. He was
the elder OF two brothers and had six
sisters. The family name was Sarto,
which means tailor in Italian, and he
was christened Giuseppe. which means
Joseph. but he was known to his moth
En- and sisters always by the diminn-
tive Beppo The family was 50 poor
that the sisters never wore hats and
even refused to wear them when In
later years they went to Rome 10 see
their little Beppo seated In all magnif-
icence upon the papal throne And to
the horror Of all the dignitaries they
still insisted on calling him Beppo, but
no conrtier ever dared demonstrate
and face that Quizzical but beautiful
smile that was a distinguishing fea-

He had his sisters brought TO Rome
intending to have them live in house
within the Vatican grounds. The sis
ters objected to the rules that would
surround them under the circum,
stances, and flat was rented near
| by, from the windows of which they
could wave greetings to their beloved
brother and could see his signals in
reply
When the vote of the cardinals con.
ferred on him the highest dignity in
the church he perceived at glance
that as a son of the people it would
be his best policy as pope to continue
in the democratic ways to which he
had been accustomed for so long.
Refused TO "Ride In a Box"
On the very day he was elected,
when the sediari brought the sedan
chair to carry him to his apartments
from the conclaye hall, he gently but
firmly protested that he would rather
walk than ride in a box. For days
after that the master of the chamber
had the sedan chair waiting in the
pope's antechamber, but the determin
alton of Plus X, to decline to use il
never changed, and finally the chair
had to be relegated to the attic.
The same happened with the por
table throne which the popes have al
ways used when going to and from a
ceremony. Only in few solemn oc
casions, when the ceremonies had to
be held in St Peters, Piux X con
sented to sit on this throne, but on al
other instances, when the ceremonies
were to take place in the Vatican pal
ace itself, he always walked to the
meeting place.
Abolished Court Ceremony.
One of the traits which made Plus
Y very popular to the Roman people
and to all his personal visitors was
the democratic way in which he re
ceived them at the Vatican. Under
the preceding popes a visitor before
approaching the head of the church
was Obliged to make three formal gen
affections, one at the threshold of the
papal apartment. a second inside the
door and the third when approaching
the pope. ..@
Plus Y, however. soon dispensed
with these formalities and had beer
known to go and meet his visitors al
the very door and escort them "nt. M
matter hoy humble their position in
life, when they left the apartment To
any one who tried to kneel before
him Plus promptly extended his hand
and insisted ON the person rising.
Among other signs of the poBe's de
rocracy was the abolition of many
officials whose duties had long ceased
TO exist and who had become purely
ornamental adjuncts of the papal
court. Had he consulted only his in
diyidual desires he would have aboI
ished the court altogether. but he re.

He distinguished himself so much at
Salzano that he was kept there only
nine years, which is remarkable in the
career OF an Italian parish priest. In

Pope Leo, who had highly appreci-
afed his cleverness, piety and mod

1884. at the age of forty-nine years,
bishop of Mantua, where he remained
nine years, until 1893, when he was

Popular With Officials.
From this appointment rose heated
polemics between the holy see and the
italian government. The latter, as heir
to the ancient privileges granted by
the pope to the republic Of Venice,
maintained that il had the right to
choose and appoint the patriarch The
government, however. after having
long refused It's exequatur, eventually

cardinal as a candidate for the chair

for il is tradition of the church that

Rampolla's views are quite as liberal

Learned to Love Venice.
Cardinal Sarto learned to love Ven
ice as Venice learned to love him. He
did not visit Rome more often than his
duties demanded. and when asked il
he enjoyed the gorgeousness of the
papal court and the magnificence OF
the functions Sarto answered, When

While in Venice Cardinal .5arto re

quired as curate. He disliked pub

dignitary in the church, he was or

Two months before Cardinal SartC
became pope King Victor Emmanuel
went to Venice to open the interna

orders that the patriarch be giveT
precedence over all local authorities
but, Sarto, having, arrived while the
king was speaking to the project, who
is the highest government official il

and said he would not disturb his maj

When the king learned of mis- pres

threshold of the chamber and kept him
In conversation, accompanying hin

summoned from Venice to assist in

Thin Folks Who
Would Be Fat
Increase in Weight Ten Pounds or More

I'D certainly give most anything to
be able to fat up few pounds and stay
that way" declares every excessively
thin man or woman. Such a result is
not impossible. despite past failures.
Thin people are victims OF mal-nutrt-
ton, a. cordition which prevents the
fatty elements of food from being taken
up by the blood as they are when the
powers Of nutrition are normal. Instead
of getting into the blood, all the fat
and flesh producing elements stay in
the intestines until they pass from the
body as waste.
To correct this condition and to pro-
duce a healthy, normal amount of fat
the nutritive processes must be artifl-
cally supplied with the power which ma
tUre has denied them. This can best be
accomplished by eating n Sargol tablet
with every meal. Sargol Is a scientific
combination of six Of tte best strength
giving. fat-producing elements known to
the medical profession Taken with
meals, 1t mixes with the food and turns
the sugars end starches into rich, ripe
nourshment for the tissues and blood
and its rapid effect is remarkable. Re-
ported gains of from ten to twenty five
pounds in a single month are by no

The Daily
Editorial
For Women
Perfumes, Powders, and Cosmetics.
By BETH JEFFRIES.

When war was declared in Europe. no
American set of buyers stepped higher,
nor thought and acted faster than those
who had been sent abroad to chase the
Elusive French perfume from its lair.
Quantities of all sorts of ''beautifiers"
were snatched up, hut none too soon, for
the wiley French manufacturer put up
his prices almost before the first shot
was fired.
The result was that America is pref
ty well provided for until spring. with
the exception of a few certain powders
but after spring what? There's the
rub. and it will be made with American
goods instead of French commodities.
AS cruel as is the snatching away OF
the blind kitten from its ma, is the de-
NAL Of American women their favorite
perfumes and powders CONSERVATION.
confusion, and rage will not avail, the
foreign powders must be given up, and
an attempt made to use the products
which American manufacturers are even
now putting on the market.
However, it is unfair to withhold one
drop of comfort which was told by q
buyer recently.
Some of the firms may be able to
keep on doing part Of their work." he
whispered. The women are still left,
YOU know, and it is my observation that
the women do everything in France any
way. The fact that the men are at the
front does not mean SO much to the
world. It's the fact that some of them
may be at the front with the formulas
for their work buttoned up in their
regimentals.'
Perhaps some of the women have
been intrusted with the processes in the
different firms. If they have they can
put out the goods
But this refers to but a few certain
brands.
Every one is watching everyone else.
So do not protest when the prices are
raised on you. Unless one should deal
at some very small out of the way estab-
lishment, the price will be fair. and
only advanced in those cases where an
advance in price has been made by the
French manufacturer. And just word
for the woman who might grieve.
America has several excellent manu-
facturies of toilet accessories. But the
manufacture of goods in certain lines
has been neglected, for there was no
market for the American make simply
because it was American. These firms
are wasting no time, nor sparing ex-
pense in their efforts to produce COM
modities equal in quality with the
French products. The chances are that
their chemists have already acquired the
''knack'' and are waiting only for this
opportunity to sell.

probability is that he does care for vcu.
There is no reason why you should not
speak to other men when out with hin.
and If you give in to that silly notion
you will soon discover that you haven't
any friends nor any privileges, either.
Impatient-The name by which you
sign yourself Is very appropriate. You

Your sweetheart will give IT to YOU
