When q child she was nurtured
with the tenderest care and taught
by private tutors, with a view to max

It was not until years later that
Mrs. Summers was called upon to
prove that a woman can u her

The story of Mrs. Summers life is
a series of efforts and successes. But
the keynote has always been the same
absolute self-reliance, independence
of though and action. backed by un,
f1inching courage. and faith in her
self.
Most women rely too much or

What Is the price of woman's sue

Work and concentration, every day
and all day. and perfect rest at night
she answered without a moments
hesitation.
"a woman must be thorough
than a man. She must often work
harder than a man to meet the com
petition. For it is still natural, you
know, for a man to think a woman
is not quite SO capable.
Perhaps he thinks we are nearly
equal to him in intelligence" she
laughingly added, but hardly on Q

One OF Mrs. Summers greatest
assets is her rare good humor, which
not ~infrequently ripples over in a tink

Ideal Diet.

iOGai OIGIs
Here is the ideal diet for a child
from eighteen months to two years:
Breakfast-Juice OF one sweet
orange, one-half hour before eating;
cereal with top milk, glass of milk
farina, oatmeal or hominy prepare
lions we'll cooked will do. The bread
should be at least a day old and the
butter sweet.
Forenoon-A glass OF milk with two
toasted biscuits, graham crackers or
zwieback.
Dinner-Soup or broth thickened
with peas, sage or rice, or vegetable
soup with yolk of egg, or soft boiled
egg with bread crumbs. and a glass
of milk. Plain puddings like rice,
bread. tapioca, b~lanc-mange, junket or
custard.
Beef Juice with bread crumbs is
often used instead of the soups, eggs
pulp may be used instead of the pud-
dings. The total amount of milk the
child should have during the "a hours
is n and a half quarts.
The beef juice is easily extracted
by lee of any OF the simple squeez-
ers after the beef has been slightly
warmed to start the juice flowing.
The yolk of egg is added to the
clear vegetable soup to give it body,
and the vegetables should be the best
and freshest that a be procured.
Supper-A glass Of milk, warm or
cold, zwieback and custard or stewed
fruit. This is a light meal. for bed
time follows close upon 1t and a
sleepy baby is not apt to be a hungry
baby, so II does not demand either
quantity or variety.
A good diet for a child from two to
three years old:
Breakfast-Juice Of one sweet or
ange. Farina with top milk (sixteen
ounces) or a soft boiled egg and toast.
Glass OF milk.
II the orange is not available or the
child likes a change, n ounce Of
pineapple juice (fresh or canned) or
the pulp of six stewed prunes, or
apple sauce may be substituted. The
cereal must be we'll cooked and oat-
meal, hominy, cream of wheat or rice
may be used instead of the farina,
while the poached egg may take the
place of the boiled egg with stale
bread by way of variety. The fruit
juice should be given an half hour be-
fore breakfast.
Dinner-Chicken soup, or mutton or
beef broth thickened with arrowroot,
split peas OF rice. Scraped beef or
white meat of chicken, or baked po-
tate and fresh peas. Rice pudding.
Broiled fish may be used as a
change.

TWO OVERCOATS "

BY Mary Gertrude Sheridan
A happy man was Clyde Brewster,
at his happiest when the girl he loved,
May Worthington, was by his side.
She was in that delightful situation
now as they left the train which had
carried them from their home suburb
to the city.
They were passing with the crowd
down the platform to the exit when
suddenly a bright-faced, petite young
lady, loneliness and grace in her
every movement, ran up behind
Clyde, reached her arms across his
shoulder, binding him by pressing
both of her pretty hands over his
eyes and, her own full of mischief,
called out:
Guess who"
May stared, the crowd grinned,
some silly girls giggled to the intense
modification of May. Her escort
struggled free of the imprisoning
hand. He faced the girl. She flushed
crimson, darted away and was lost in
the crowd.
There we're significant smiles all
about. May bridled up, stony-faced,
till Clyde actually shivered. He hur-
-ried her to the street.

Mr.. Glib Foster. one OF the county's

the county. passed away at $50 last
night at his home In the Providence
community. after a long illness. Mr..
Foster was stricken with paralysis
three years ago this past June and
since that time had never been able
to leave his bed. Only one side was
paralyzed and he retained the use OF
one arm and limb up to within a short
time OF his death. His illness bereft
him OF the power OF speech. but he

everything transpiring about him and
recognized his friends when they call.
ed. He bore his long illness with a
fortitude that was remarkable. and
never once complained OF the seeming
cruel visitation that had been sent
upon him. He was given every care
and every ministration that n loving
wife and children could bestow. and
his appreciation was shown In his
mute way In a language that could
not be misunderstood and which was
far more expressive than the spoken
word.
Mr.. Foster was a native Texan and
was born In Richmond January 2s
1888. making him II years. 6 months
and % days Of age at the time OF his
death. He came TO Brazos County
with HIS fathers family in 1854 and
this county has been his home con
tinuously since.
Mr.. Foster was typical Of the old
South. Rugged of frame. sturdy a
the heart OF oak. and true as steel Il
his friends. There was no favor they
! could ask he would not grant. and nc
needed errand he would moi perform
for them regardless OF the time Of
surrounding conditions. He was bis
hearted. charitable and his home wal
known far and ear as the open dooi
OF hospitality. He took nm active par
in the settlement and development o.
the county and his impress upon IN,

ing years.
