Ignore the woman who dresses in
style, get away from the meat-eat-

spices, fried and greasy dishes and
white bread, ice creams, alcoholic
liquors and gas-fIled temperance
drinks and then you viii learn more
Of yourself, about your own body
and brain, than all the great noted
religious and medical preachers in
existence.
No man should be able to tell you
more about yourself than you ought
to know yourself, especially when
these same men do not know them
selves. Naming bones, muscles, ig-
aments, nerves, arteries, ETC., does
not Constitute knowledge. You
might know nothing about the
names and yet have a far greater
understanding than the greatest
college professors.-P. M. .e

STATE ROADS JOIN TO FIGHT
FUEL FAMINE
Carriers Pledge Aid to State in
Supplying Coal to Con-

| Jefferson City, Mo-, Nov. 8-Fuel
experts for the railroads declared at
a hearing held here this afternoon
that all common carriers would assist
the coal consumers of Missouri if a
crisis should arise.
They informed Fuel Administrator
Wallace Crossley that an erroneous
impression had gone forth that the
railroads were boarding coal for their
own consumption.
J. c. McGrew, of Lexington, Mo-,
and William Walton of Higbee. Mo-,
mine operators, stated their mines
had not been operated to full capac-
ity on account OF the inability to Sc
cure miners. In their opinion. the
higher price paid the miners in
Southern Illinois was an incentive
for Missouri miners to leave this
State.
The fuel experts for the railroads
stated their companies had coal sup
plies to last not longer than week.
This statement applied to all of the
roads. with the exception of the Wa
bash. which has 36,62s tons Of coal
at Moberly. 1t, was explained that
there had been an embargo against
shipping coal from Chicago to the

CADORNA KNEW GERMAN
PLANS
English Expert Denies Attack Was
Made With 100000 Men And
Questions Figures on
.u.. Prisoner.

Maj. Gen. Frederick B. Maurice
chief director of military operations
at the British War Office, in his
weekly talk with the Associated
Press last week said:
"The Italian situation is serious.
but considerable part of the alarm
ist talk which has been circulating Is
untrue. The report that Won Mack
ensen made the attack with an over
whelm;ng force of 100000 men is a
fabrication The enemy forces were
commanded by Won Buelow, not by
Won Mackensen.
Moreover, the attack was no sur
price to Gen. Cadorna, who knew il
was coming so far in advance that he
issued soWuunique warning the
troops about it.
ut is not necessary to say much
here as to the cause of the Italian
failure. except to note that the Ger.
mans accomplished at least some
thing through insidious propaganda
among the Italian troops.
Withdrawal of the Italians from
the Tagliamento line need cause no
discouragement because this was
part of Cardinals scheme from the
moment of the first falling back.
Developments now depend large
ly on the time. in which Allied re-en-
foreements reach the line in ade-
quate numbers"
Referring to the German claims of
an enormous bag Of prisoners. Gen.
Maurice expressed the opinion that
these were largely overdrawn, say
ing:
"The Germans naturally make the
best possible story, and it Is likely
they have counted ali the civilians in
the total Of prisoners they an
nounced."

Her Own Business
- By FREEMAN TILDEN
utraton by George E.
By FREEMAN TILDEN

Good-by, mother dear! I'm so glad you
called!"
The queer part of it was that these two
women, who were a million miles distant
from each other nowadays in their out
ward views, loved each other tenderly.
The death of the father had brought them
closer together than ever before. Hon
estly, without selfishness, Julia Farnum
had planned a glorious future for her girl
"a future in which she was willing to
play a minor and shaded part. She
wanted to see her established. She wanted
to see her take the place that was due her
as a rich and beautiful young woman,
married to rich and talented man. And
the man was clearly in her mind. He was
Harvey Bowles, eldest son of paper
manufacturer who had started in business
about the same time as Nathan Farnum,
had later been the moving spirit in the
big merger known as the Paper Trust, and
was now its president.
Evening star., 1917-04-15

1t was not mere matter of eligibility.
The families had always known each
other. The children had played together
at the sea-shore in the old days, and there
was frank affection between them.
Harvey was frequent visitor at the
Farnum home. All things considered,
Mrs. Farnum decided that the time had
come to act. So one evening, when the
mother and daughter were dining alone,
Mrs. Farnum opened the campaign.
Beth DEAR" she began in her sweetest
voice, "don't forget that we are to go
down to Lakeview Thursday afternoon.
l had letter from Mrs. Bowles this
morning. The Brazilian Ambassador
"Oh, ! really couldn't think of going,
mother, said Elizabeth hastily. @Not
this week. Some other time, perhaps !"
"But what on earth could prevent you?
You must go. Now don't"
Elizabeth Farnum shook her head. She
looked across at her mother, her eyes full

of this strange enthusiasm which the older
woman couldn't understand.
Absolutely impossible!' she replied
with finality. "Why, mother, I've set
Friday as the time for our big conference.
Our MIR. Hyatt has completed his plans
for the big advertising campaign. We're
going to thresh it all out Friday. A month
from now, mother, you'll see Escutcheon
ought to see the copy Mr.. Hyatt has
written! Why, mother, it would just
make you go down to the stationer's and
plead for box of Escutchcon Linen.
After this one will be social nobody if
one doesn't write on our paper Isn't it
simply splendid?'
MRS. FARNUM opened her eyes.
Her mouth opened, too, in COM
blnation Of astonishment and fright, as
she looked across the table at her daughter.
Then the mouth slowly closed-closed till
the lips were tightly compressed, and her
eyes showed a CLEAN of exasperated deter
mination that was rare in them.
Beth" she said, with metallic em-
phasis, really, this is going too far.
You know, my dear, have tried not to
interfere with your pleasure-if you think
it pleasure to sit down there in that musty
office and play at business. But there is
reason in everything. Advertising! Good
heavens! Aren't we advertised enough,
as it is? Doesn't that big electric sign on
the plant shout trade into our ears-and
our friends ears-every time we pass it?
Haven't | been Inundated often enough
by having upstarts come smirking up to
me and saying, Mrs. Farnum, my. hus-
band uses your paper in his office? Why,
my dear, tremble every time go into
strange company for fear shall be intro
duced as Mrs. Escutcheon! You may
laugh, my dear, but it's not pleasant to
have trademark attached to one, like

ELIZABETH FARNUM'S mother
had done her best, as she informed
4 few of her most intimate friends,
A0 "to be reasonable" With un-
speakable amazement she had seen her
daughter slip her social bonds and madly
associate herself with her own business.
She had seen Elizabeth-or, rather, she
had heard her-arise at the utterly i'm
possible hour of six-thirty, to walk mat
tended later to that absurd Office, actually
to engage in conversation on a common
footing with employees.
At first Mrs. Farnum patiently hui
mored the strange whim. 1t seemed pref
erable to some other fads-suffrage pick
citing, for example. But as time went on,
and the young woman seemed actually to
be thriving upon this establishment, Mrs.
Nathan Farnum flung back her head and
declared to herself that the folly must
end.
Unfortunately, as she had to acknow-
ledge, she didn't know exactly how to
end it.
Once, since Elizabeth began to occupy
her fathers old Office, Mrs. Farnum had
visited the plant. On that occasion she
came down in the car, went up the worn
old wooden stairs as if she were stepping
on live Goals, and entered just as Elizabeth
was comforting with the factory superin-
tendent. The excellent lady stood until
the superintendent went out Then, with
all the polite sarcasm of which she was
capable, Mrs. Farnum remarked, study
ing Elizabeth's favorite Office costume
with blasting eye:
Positively, my dear, you look like a
waitress'
Whereupon Elizabeth Farnum rushed
incontinently upon her mother, kissed her
with frantic, laughing kisses, and moved
her gently toward the door, saying:
my darling mother, you mustn't
bother Elizabeth while she is at work.
