EAGER TO WORK.
Health Resained by Right Food.

The average healthy man or woman
is usually eager to be busy at some
useful task or employment.
But let dyspepsia or indigestion get
hold Of one, and all endeavor becomes
a burden.
"a year ago, after recovering from
an operation" writes Mich. lady, my
stomach and nerves began to give me
much trouble.
eat times my appetite was vorac-
ious, but when INDUCED, indigestion
followed. Other times l had no ap-

Mr.. and Mrs. James D. Diver Receive
Letter Of Thanks for Money
Sent to the Quake
Sufferers.
COURTESY IS APPARENT
EpistIss From official. Enclosing the
Jap Receipt and Letter.
Are Models Of
PoIieeness.

Mr.. and Mrs. James B. Diver have
very unique souvenir of the recent
earthquake in Japan. They visited
of their trip there few years ago,
and when the extent OF the disaster
became known they sent draft to
be applied on the relief fund. Saturday
they received a receipt and letter OF
thanks from the Japanese bureau OF
local affairs at Toxic.
The letter OF thanks Is written on
large sheet OF rice paper. 1t is in
scribed in the Japanese characters
and consequently Is a mystery to the
American. The receipt is written on
smaller piece of thin rice paper, and
has red seal attached to 1t. The
seal is square in shape and has some
Of the queer characters in it.
The extreme courtesy Of the Japa-
nese is manifest in the three letters
received from the Japanese ofiicials,
Mr.. Diver stated yesterday. He said
that this courtesy WAS shown all dur
ing their journey through the land OF
cherry blossoms several years ago.
The letters which he has received and
which are written in English are
examples Of courteousness.
The first one is dated at the home
department, Tokyo. Japan. Feb. %.
1914. 1t is addressed to Mr.. and Mrs
James B. Diver, and contains this
message:
I have duly, received your remit
lance, sent in behalf OF the stricken
people in the prefecture of Kagoshima
and beg to thank you for your deep
sympathy with those destitute. The
donation shall be directly forwarded
to the governor OF said prefecture to
be used promptly for relief work"
Signed, L. Kohashi, director Of bureau
scf local affairs.
A second Letter from Kokashi is
written March 10 in which he again
thanks the local people and says he
is enclosing receipt and letter OF
thanks. Evidently the enclosures
were omitted, and on March "a. q
letter was sent by T. Naraoka, apollo
giving for the omission and enclosing
the interesting letters.

WANT $4,000 IN SIGHT

Splendid progress is being made
with the preliminary plans for the con-
struction of the Keokuk, Nauvoo and
Fort Madison electric railway. OF the
issue of $4,000 Of preferred stock
which must be subscribed before con-
struction is started, the citizens OF
Fort Madison have taken $50, 600,
which is an indication Of the interest
which is being taken in the line by the
people of that city.
This electric line, as is generally
known, is to connect Keokuk and Fort
Madison, passing through the prosper
GUS and thickly settled country be-
tween the two cities in Illinois. 1t is
to be built at a cost Of approximately
100000 by Mr.. Charles H. Petsch Of
st. Paul, Mimi. and his associates,
who are prepared to commence work
at once and are asking for no conces-
sions Of any character from the peo-
pie living in the terminal cities or
along the route. They insist that
sufficient interest should be aroused
to justify the taking Of $4,000 Of the

agreed that unless active construction
work is started within thirty days af-
ter this amount Of stock is subscribed
all subscriptions will be null and
void. In addition to this protection to
the subscriber. the subscription con-
tracts provide that the stock is not to
be paid for until the electric line is
completed and cars are in operation
in and out of Keokuk and Fort Madi-
son. These protective features GER
tainly remove all doubt IS to the sin
cerity Of the promoters OF this line or
their ability to carry out their plans;
in fact, it would seem that the SUI

she can see that little more of the
pain has gone.
She sat downstairs with group
of comparatively young women-al
of them married and all of them with
out their husbands night and
she seemed much interested if little
shocked at our talk.
An old man was coming up the
steps and he ran into girl and al
most knocked her over. The girl
caught herself, but the man went on
unheeding.
81 don't think there is one in this
world that is as selfish as an old

in woman"
81 think that is true" l supplement-
ed. 81 have noticed it in the street
cars where the men absolutely elbow
any woman out of the way and get
the best for themselves. 1t. almost
confirms me in my belief that the only
real interest that man has in woman
is sex one. A man never is allowed
to forget he is a man; in fact he never
wants to forget it from the time his
heart opens to any other woman than
his mother-the sex relation intrudes
itself whether it has any right or not
and until his arteries harden he is
dominated by sex consciousness. Wo-
man is woman to him and after that
she is something that bores him ter
ribly or something to be ignored
Aunt Mary looked surprised that
any woman would have the temerity
to say out loud that sex was the great
and only EXETER of unselfshness, but
before she could say anything anoth-
er woman spoke up and said:

waning desires.
''The selfish old man may like to
talk to another man for he recognizes
something in him to respect and per-
haps to envy, but a woman is some
thing that is lost in his scheme of
life"
Then none of you young women
believe in chivalry and reverence re-
marked Aunt Mary.
There was almost chorus of 1--WE
don't believe in chiyalry," and 1--WE
don't want reverence" from us.
"Chivalry, Aunt Mary" said very
pretty young married woman, means
only the vain boasts that man makes
about his own. Ny lady is the most
beautiful and the sweetest in all the
world and l will defend her against
all comers,' says the knight and so
the prettiest 1adye' gets all the atten-
ton because of her sweetness and sex
appeal.
after she grows too old to be paid
devoirs she is put on pedestal and
reverenced as mother or grand
mother.
81, for one, don't want the chivalry
that extols my feminine charm.
want the regard that respects my
opinions. l don't want man to give
up the seat in the street car for which
he has paid because get in after the
seats are taken, but l do want him
to quit oggling me if l happen to
please his eye. want him to under
stand that there is just possibility
that he may not please me.
Neither do want reverence-it is
the coolest and most impersonal
thing that can be given from the man
who you wish to love you. No woman
wants to stand on pedestal-it is
most firing operation and most wo-
men would rather stand side by side,
heart to heart, lip to lip and eye to
eye with the man they love-"
