The Block Signals
Are Worki,lg-

In some respects, human experience
is like railroading.
Every moment of the business and
social day the block signals are giving
right of way to keenness and alertness
while the slow and the heavy must
wait on the sidetrack for their chance
to move forward.
The ability to Ego through" and to
"get there" depends much on the poise of
body, brain and nerves that comes with
correct diet and proper nourishment.
That's why so many choose Grape
Nuts for breakfast and lunch. Served
with cream or milk it is completely
nourishing, partly pre-digested, and it
supplies the vital mineral salts SO
necessary to full nutrition.
Grape-Nuts has rich, delightful
flavor, is ready to serve on the instant
and is distinctly the food for mental
and physical alertness and speed. At
all grocers.

MODERN RAIMENT
SHOCKS GRANDMA
OId-Fashioned Miss and Her
Wrap Wins Majority Vote Of
Pittsburgh Women.

PITTSBURGH. April 28.-The old
fashioned girl. the kind OF girl she
was sixty years ago. Is just the Kind
of a girl she would be again IL she
had her life to live over, said Mrs.
j. 8. McKelvy, prominent clubwoman.
grandmother and almost an oeto-
genarian. in speaking to the Wednes-
day current events class here. Sne
and others responded to the question::
What would you do IL you were
young again"
One class member. recalling the fac:
that women in her youthful days were
barred from entering professions, said
she would train to be a physician. The
response made by another, that she
would be movie actress, revealed
the fact that the dream Of movie star
dom entertained by many girls also
is the dream of mature women.
Then attention attracting makeup
and apparel OF the girls OF today were
facetiously referred to by Mrs. Mc-
Kelvy. who Is spoken OF as being
eighty years young" by her fellow
members OF the club. OF which she IN
the oldest in point of years.
The ear biscuits affected by modern
maids came up for ridicule by Mrs.
Nickel when she was stating the
things she would not do IL she were
girl again. She did not approve
them taking their pompadours down
from the top of their scalps and wear
ing. them over their ears
Painting of cheeks and rouging OF
lips, now SO popular in the way OF
facial adornment, she objected to.
Neither would Mrs. McKelvy let the
bottom of her skirts get SO closely &C.
quainted with the knees. She and
most of the others. although admit
ting that the girl OF today may be
more aggressive. progressive and self
reliant, agreed that they would cast
their votes in favor Of the old-fash-
Toned girl.
The hoopskirt and the minuet and
other stately dance manoeuvres popu-
lar in the days when grandma was a
girl, were all right. while the abbrevi-
ated skirt and the foolish and fan
tastic Clinches" In terpsichorean
way of the modern girl are vastly
wrong. She declared she could not
