young man writes me that he has
great craving to be popular with the ladies,
but that he isn't. Try as earnestly as he may,
he has never been able to capture the tickle,
feminine fancy. The young women he calls
upon apt to be out, else suffering
from violent headache When he asks a girl
to dance she wears the look of an early
Christian martyr instead of the pleased ex-
preston Of the cat that has just eaten the
canary.
And the unhappy youth wants to know
why this is thus, and why nobody loves
him.
Alas nobody can un-riddle his riddle. The
secret of the attraction between the sexes is
a mystery that no one has ever solved. What
quality it is in woman that draws all men
to her, while men flee from another woman
who is her superior in looks, in intelligence,
and amiability, we do not know. Nor do we
know why women go crazy over some grace
less scamp who hasn't even a handsome face
to recommend him, while they turn down his
brother, who is all that a real man should
be.
1t is just that the gods have given to GER
tain men and women a charm to conjure
with-a look in the eye, a way with them
that elusive something that we call personal
ity and magnetism. And that's that.
Generally speaking, however, when a man
finds himself persona non gratia with the
girls, he might give himself the once-over
What sort of locker is he? And, parttc-
ularly, how does he dress?
Women don't demand any special degree
of pulchritude in a man, as men demand
beauty in women. In fact, they resent a
mans being too handsome, because, for one
thing, a handsome man is almost invariably
vain, and, for another thing, when man
is too good looking he peaches on their
preserves, but they want a man to be nice
looking, to be we'll set up, and we'll groom
ed, and to look as if he was a somebody in
stead of something they had fished out of
the ash can.
Nothing attracts woman to man more
at first sight than for him to be we'll dress
ed, and particularly for him to be immacu-
lately clean. A man may have the brain of
a genius, the character of a saint, and the
ability that will carry him to success, but
no girl wants to have him around, or to be
seen out in public with him, if his hair
needs cutting, his nails cry aloud for man
icure, and his trousers bag at the knees.
Next, what sort of manners has he?
The old proverb says that manners make
the man. They certainly do as far as wom-
en- are concerned. This goes both in public
and private Women hate and loathe the
man who is loud, and self-assertive, who
argues on every conceivable subject, ana
who is forever getting in rows with the walt
ers at restaurants, and the ushers at the
theater, and taxi drivers, and conductors on
street cars. They like man who knows his
way about, and who can get good service
without fighting for it.
And they like the man who knows now

POINTED PARAGRAPHS

Two heads are better than one--at a kissing
bee.
Trying to make money often results in
making trouble.
Unlike a man, a hen is satisfied with a
picked-up dinner.
Nothing succeeds like the effects of woman
to be diSagreeable.
All women think they can manage any man,
and so they can until they marry him.
Once in a great while a young man manages
to tame his wild oats.
A woman hasn't thoroughly learned the srt of
shopping if she can't make the rounds without
spending a cent
If you would have the world take you at
your own valuation, don't give yourself
away.
There's nothing of heaven in your religion
unless it lights up your home with love.

GORGING
BY DR.. Frank Crane

ny LII. IIdllk OIdIlS
recent writer describes the gorging of
birds.
"Many birds" he says. "will eat their own
weight of food in a day; the robin will devour
with ease twice its own weight of food each
tWenty-four hours.
"lf we Jared in the same proportion, we
should commence the day with two sides of
bacon for breakfast, helped along with four
loaveS. For lunch we should consume forty
pounds of beef, half buShel of potatoes, four
more lOaveS, twelve large apple puddingS and
few pounds of cheese.
Tea would consist of six loaveS and four
large cakes, while we should finish the day
with dinner consisting of five courses each
weighing about twelve pounds.
"The kingfiSher goes one better. Each day it
eats about three times its weight Of food |
have been concealed within few feet of one
of these birds and watched it capture fish after
fish. Some of these were nearly half the length
of the bird, and it was a puzzle to me how it
managed to get them all down. Certainly, after
it had had three or four il seemed to be suffer-
ing from the most intense indigestion, for with
head turned on to its back, eyes closed, and all
its feathers ruffled, it looked the picture of
misery. Twenty minutes later it sat up, shook
its feathers into position, opened its eyes, and
became the keen, eager fisher once more"
There are some human beings who try to
emulate the birds. 1t would not be SO bad if
these human beings lived outdoors as The birds
do and led life of inceSSant activity
But the fact is that in our conditions of
civilization the aim of those who care to con-
serve their health should be to eat as little as
possible.
The life of the great Venetian Cornaro is a
classic instance in this respect. Although
broken down by excuses in middle life, he
reformed, adopted the rule of eating almost
nothing at all, and lived to an extremely old
age.
There are few diseases that cannot be cured
by intelligent abstinence.
For every person who is undernouriShed in
civilized society there are hundreds who are
suffering from one complaint or another be-
cause they eat too much.
The amount of food supposed to be consumed
at an ordinary table d'hote is amazing. 1t is at
least ten times as much as any one needs
The whole thing is matter of habit. We car
get used to eating little or to eating much.
And if one reduces his diet to the minimum
consistent with strength he has greatly increased
the chances in favor of health.
It is true that the buzzard gorgeS his food
and gets away with it. But why be buzzard:

Rich Poet


Frank G. Ball, president of the Ball Broth
ers Fruit Jar Manufacturing company, Mum
Gle Ind. in early life wanted to be poet.
and this week in his address at public re-
ception rendered to him and his brothers in
honor of their giving $1,000,000 to educa-
ton and other purposes, he recited poetry
freely He is known as an orator and
reader of ability. Mr.. Ball and his three
brothers, and the heirs Of another brother,
are estimated to possess about SIS, 100000.
They have given to public causes about $2,-
900. N
''My brothers and 7 have come to realize
with advancing years, more keenly than ever
before, that we cannot take dollar or our
money with us when we die, and SO we lntend
to have some fun with it and do lot OF
rood with it while we are alive, Frank Ball
said.
The Ball brothers a few years ago bought
outright the normal school at Muncie, then
a private institution, with a tine college
building located in campus OF lO0 acres:
and presented it outright to the state. 1t
now has 1000 students. y

sundry national problems. Among these is
his proposal that congress pass joint
resolution submitting to the states pro-

endrum in matters of nationwide concern.
"Only through the initiative and referen-
dunn - declared General Coxey, "will the
people have an opportunity to express their
sentiments effectively concerning the pro-
hibition amendment. This is not the only
thing the people would like to pass upon
in a referendum, but it is an outstanding
measure"

4 Vote for the Husks
" HE Prodigal Son, lunching lugubrious-

I" HE Prodigal Son, lunching lugubrious-
ly off the husks that were fed to the
swine, has a sort of modern counter
part in followers of the fad of bran-eating.
When Woods Hutchinson, that celebrated
literary M. D., gave out his opinion, allur-
ingly worded-as most of his expressed
opinions are-that white bread red meat
Conquered the world" DR.. Hutchinson was
taking a cleverlyworded crack at the advo-
Gates of whole-wheat flour and the old re-
liable graham.
But the bran-breads now seem to have the
better of it. DR.. Hutchinson pointed out that
while the whole-wheat flour might assay
more nutriment than the highly refined prod
uct, it was in less assimilable form-the
human system had to reject a large part of
the product.
This, say the latest dietitians, is exactly
what is needed by the human system Also
they argue that the bran part of the whole
wheat flour contains certain minerals and
salts needed by human beings for the pres
ervation of their bones and teeth, and, odd
ly enough, their nerves.
So we have situation typically Ameri-
can. Being convinced that we need bran in
our diet, and also being under the spell of
the prettiness of pure white bread, we con-
tinue to eat by the billion loaves bread made
of bolted flour-and take the bran on the
side.
AhoI 10, Jul SAo"I Aiool AIitAo WIN .h0tl
ultra-refining processes carefully eliminate
from our bread material certain portions
which they, or other manufactures, as care
fully make up into other forms designed to
be as appetizing as possible. We have bran
in a dozen guises: in sweetened biscuits: in
crumbled breakfast-food form; in a plain
cooked form; in flour form for the making
of bran-bread or bran mullins.
And it seems generally well established
that bran in the diet, in any of these forms
is very good and even essential thing.
Hum-ho We take the husks meticulously
out of our food and then we work them
over and eat them with a great sense OF
dietic martyrdom. 1t is truly American.
At that, the advocate of the husks would
be husky character indeed to suggest that
angels food cake Ito go no farther), would
be as tempting a success, made of coarse
unbolted flour. Certainly it would not be as
pretty.
