Not a Lively Fish, at Best.
One of tho porters on the train out
of Salt l.i 1:j City was an Impassive
looking negro, who had a ready, if in
accurate answer to almost any ques
tion put him by the passengers. It.
was hard to tell whether ho believed
all that he said or whether he was
having fun with his passengers.
One man, on first catching sight, of
the lake, asked If there were any fish
In it.
“No, sah,” said the porter, “dere
ain’t no fishes In dat lake, salt. Dey
done tried ter see ef dey couldn't have
fishes In dare, but dey wouldn’t stay
alive. De fishes dat stayed alive de
longest was salt mack’r’I, but dey

' . SURPRISED DOCTOR.
Illustrating the Effect of Food.
Tho remarkable adaptability of
Grape-Nuts food to stomachs so dis
ordered that they will reject every
thing else. Is Illustrated by the case
Of a woman In Racine, Wis.
“Two years ago," she says, "I was
attacked by a stomach trouble so se
rious that for a long time I could not
take much of any sort of food. Even
the various kinds prescribed by tho
doctor produced most acute pain.
“We then got some Grape-Nuts food,
and you can Imagine my surprise and
delight when I found that I could eat
It with a relish and without the slight
est distress.
“When the doctor heard of It he told
me to take several small portions each
day, because he feared I would grow
| tired of It as I had of all other food.
“But to his surprise, (and that of
everybody else), I did not tire of
Grape-Nuts, and became better day by
| day, till, after some weeks, my Btom
»ch entirely recovered and I was able
to eat anything my appetite craved.
“My nerves, which had become so
weakened that I feared I would be
come insane, were also restored by
the Grape-Nuts food in connection
with Postum which has become our
table beverage. I appreciate most
gratefully and thankfully the good that
your food preparations have done me,
and ahall be glad to answer any letters
inquiring as to my experience.” Name

Ellen Key’s Message to Women! I
First of all, the women of America
must see clearly that their development
depends on changing tho Boclal con
ditions and that the first question for
tho women is, not to live Isolated In
their own small sphere of vrerk or play,
or loss or gain, but to participate In
the great question of our time:
IIow to change the conditions of life,
now qulto untenable and unworthy, for
the great part of the working wom
en?
This Is only to be done by such a
change In tho conditions of work that
young women and young men shall be
pakl for their work at such a rate thut
they may be able to marry and to be
the mother and father of three or
four children.
Motherhood must be considered as
tho great work by women tor the com
munity. The community must pay ev
ery mother for that work, but the com
munity must also have a osrtain con
trol over that work and require certain
qualifications for It,
As every young man In Europe has
a year of military service so every
girl should have a year, at least, of
training for motherhood. In domestic
science, In home making and the care
of children.
I do not think, however, that the
better conditions for marrying or tho
better regulating of education will ba
attained before the women get votes,
I am persuaded that the working
women of America, as In Europe, ought
to be active In securing vote# for wom
en. There are so many vital questions
that directly concern women such as:
Proper housing and sanitation, the
regulation of the liquor traffic, th«
right kind of teaching In tho schools
safety and proper sanitation In fac
tories and other places where women
are employed, not to mention the laws
regulating marriage and divorce and
the disposition of property.
Most Important of all these is the
reformation of the marriage laws. In
my mind, two things are necessary fot
the holiness of marriage:
First: The resolution to marry only
from true lovo and to bo able to sep
arata if that lovo should pass from
either one or the other.
Second: The firm conviction that the
duty of parents Is to breed no children
except in a harmonious marriage and
to have only healthy and good off
spring.
This for me is the chief morality in
the sexual question.
I am sorry to hear that In America
—the country from which Europe ex
pects so many beautiful things—women
are becoming more and more adverse
to maternity: yet In many cases I can
understand this, especially where wom
en have to work hard for a living.
I do not expect a change tn this cur
rent of feeling during the present state
of things. Only a great change In tho
economic conditions of work, approach
ing socialistic Ideals, can Influence
women to resume the burden of mater
nity freely.

THE PEEVISH CHILD
NEEDS TREATMENT
When a child sulks drowsily, er Is
fretful, It Is usually due to some slight
disorder of the digestive organs, a*d a
mild laxative Is very often all that Is
necessary to restore cheerfulness and
buoyancy of spirits.
In cases where the use of a gentle,
effective laxative stimulant is Indi
cated, many of the best physicians are
now prescribing Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup
Pepsin. This preparation Is admitted
ly the perfect laxative, being mild, yet
positive In Its action on the bowels,
and far preferable to violent oathart
lcs and purgative waters. It is very
pleasant to the taste and Is an Meal
remedy to regulate and strengthen the
stomach, liver and bowels. IU easy,
natural action makes It especially de
sirable in the case of children, a dose
at bed-time being sure to have the de
sired result next morning, with no at
tendant unpleasantness or discomfort.
Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin Is sold
by druggists everywhere In Sdc and
$1.00 bottles. If you have never tried
this splendid remedy, write to Dr. W.
B. Caldwell, 201 Washington Bt., Mon
ticello, 111., for a sample. He will be
very glad to send a trial bottle with,
out any expense to you whatever. _

DISFIGURED WITH CRUSTS
“Some time ago I was taken with
eczema from the top of my head to
my waist. It began with scales on my
body. I suffered untold Itching and
burning, and could not sleep. I was
greatly disfigured with scales and
crusts. My ears looked as if they had
been most cut off with a razor, and
my neck was perfectly raw. I suffered
untold agony and pain. I tried two
doctors who said I had eczema In Its
fullest stage, and that It could not
be cured. I then tried other rem
edies to no avail. At last, I tried a sot
of the genuine Cutlcura Remedies,
which cured mo of eczema when all
else had failed, therefore I cannot
praise them too highly.
“I suffered with eczema about ten
months, but am now entirely cured,
and I believe Cutlcura Remedies are
the best skin cure there Is." (Signed)
Miss Mattie J. ShafTer, R. F. D. 1, Box
8, Dancy, Miss., Oct. 27, 1910.
“I had suffered from eczema about
four years when boils began to break
out on different parts of my body. It
started with a fine red rash. My
back was affected first, when it also
spread over my face. The Itching was
almost unbearable at times. I tried
different soaps and salves, but nothing
seemed to help me until I began to
use the Cutlcura Soap and Ointment.
One box of them cured me entirely. I
recommended them to my sister for
her baby who was troubled with tooth
eczema, and they completely cured her
baby." (Signed) Mrs. F. L. Marber
ger, Drehersville, Pa., Sept. 6, 1910.

Moving Pictures. Illuetrations by William Stevens, j
One day Edison caught sight of the
! camera which had hitherto had an easy
thne, but from that moment it vraa
deemed. Edison harnessed It up with
& eet of gears and a revolving shutter
and set It to work photographing
•peed, history, romance, humor and
travel.
As soon as this was done moving
pictures became enormously popular.
The moving picture theater Immed
iately leaped Into being and began to
compete with the street oar and the
cigar store for the nickels of the pop
ulace. In consequenoe the limited
supply of 5 cent pieces became so over
worked that a nickel which doesn't
register at three tills each day Is loaf
ing on Its Job.
Moving pictures are making us ac
quainted with the world and familiar
with the great men of all times. The
scenery of Java, Sahara and Siberia are
chestnuts to us, though wo msy never
have traveled 10# miles on a railroad
train. For 6 emits we oan see King
Solomon quarrel with 80 wives, In col
ors. We have seen so many battle
ships launched, kings orowned and
hurled, tigers shot, highwaymen troed,
pugilists demolished and mountain
peaks scaled, that most of us are ex
tremely blase and the trees on the
streets would have to walk off arm In
arm to get more than a yawn out of
us. This the trees will never actually
do, but they are likely to do anything
on a moving picture film which Is a
great assistance to nature, sometimes.
In moving pictures wo may also see
ferocious Indians chasing the brave
hero down a macadam road and bar
becurlng him against a trolley pole;
likewise we may discover the tempera
mental cowboys capturing a horse
stealing Mexican and lynching him In
the wilderness around the corner from
a hat factory in New Jersey. This
teaches us not to believe all the mov
ing pictures tell us. It is, in fact, one
of the most accomplished of liars. It
la possible in a moving picture factory
to make a magnlflcant and awe inspir
ing volcano out of a pile of sand, a
roman candle and a barrel of soap suds.
More people are watching moving
pictures today than are watching
chorus girls, which is a sign that the
, . -;--g- ' -I |
world Is getting better. The picture
melodrama is not a brain strengthenei
Vut it Is an Improvement over the old
"ten, twenC, thlrt’,” variety because
tha audience cannot hear the remarks
of the characters. Moving pictures
hare been taken of practically every
thing In the world including the pyra
mids and Washington's monument, but
no one has taken a moving picture of
a baggageman accommodating a crowd
of hurried passengers. A standing or
even sitting picture can handle this
subjeet perfectly.
Flats
Flats are an Invention whereby peo
ple who live In crowded cities can be
piled up In layers like pancakes.
A flat consists of a collection of liv
ing rooms all on one floor. A flat build
ing consists of from six to 60 sets of
rooms all under one roof and under the
overlordship of a Janitor, who lives In
the basement and dosea the furnace
with coal on the homeopathic plan. A
really expert Janitor can run a 12 flat
furnace all winter on a wagon load of
coal and can so chill the tenants when
they come down to complain that their
rooms will seem tropical when they re
turn to them.
Flats are built of brick, wood, stone,
strawboard, felt and tissue paper, the
latter being used principally for parti
tions. An economically built flat build
ing Is usually provided with a light well
which Is entirely fllled with conversa
tion. By means of this well, the occu
pant of the top flat can hear what the
husband of the first floor says when
the coffee doesn’t suit tolm and when the
woman In number 2 tells her late re
turning spouse that he Is a brute the
women in numbers 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8
lulver with simultaneous Indignation.
Fats have handsome hallways fitted
with New Jersey Turkish rugs and back
porches where one may have a garden,
consisting of a geranium. They are
also provided with bat tubs and two
kinds of water, cold and not so cold.
In the cities, owing to the high price of
ground, aldernu- and building material,
the rooms in a .t are sometimes very
Email—so small that when the daughter
Is playing the piano, the mother has
to wash the dishes gently for fear of
splashing on the music—so smalt that
members of the family have to be
measured for the bedrooms as they
would be for vesta, and anyone weigh
in* over 180 pounds has to work himself
Into the bathroom by means of glove
powder and a shoe horn.
Some flats are very magnificent,
however, and contain splendid marble
lobbies, sun parlors, air filters, vacuum
cleaners, automobile elevators, refrig
erated bedrooms and even places where
children and dogs can be stored if they
are kept perfectly quiet. Such flats
r~
—— ■ —i .1
rent for from $5,000 to $50,000 a year,
which, however, does not Include the
privilege of gossiping with the family
next door.
By means of flats people can live
with little exertion and great comfort,
to say nothing of perfect seclusion. No
one will bother them, and when they
are at last lowered from the fourth
floor to the hearse after a long and
peaceful life, neighbors of 20 years’
standing will heave a sigh and say:
"Hello, I wonder what poor devil Is

"It may be foreseen that this young
state, with Its decided trend toward the
west, will in 30 or 40 years have occupied
and peopled the large tract of land beyond
the Rocky mountains. Along the whole
coast of the Pacific ocean, where nature
has already formed the most capacious
and serene harbors, important commercial
towns will gradually arise, for the fur
therance of a great commerce between
China and the East Indies and the United
States. ... It Is absolutely indispensable
for the United States to obtain a passage
from the Mexican gulf to the Pacific
ocean and 1 am certain they will do it.”
Goethe was mistaken in thinking that
the eanal would be pierced from the Mexi

points, though our trade with the east is
less grand than the poet's Imagination.

THE HOME LIFE OF THE
SETTLER
WESTERN CANADA AFFORDS ALL
THE COMFORTS AND MANY OF
THE LUXURIES.
A young lady of Wisconsin secured
a certificate at the Milwaukee office
of the Canadian Government, and on
presenting this to the ticket agent ol
the railway at the Canadian boundary
line she secured a ticket at a reduced
rate which carried her to Edmonton,
Alberta, from which point, about for
ty miles, she had friends. This was a
couple of years ago, and tho young
lady is now married to one of the
promising young farmers of the dis
trict.
In writing of her trip to the Mil
waukee representatives of the Cana
dian Government she says: "I enjoyed
my trip up here very much, and ex
pect to go out to our homestead in
the Pembina district next spring.” To
the housewife the information that
she has “put up twelve quarts of rasp,
berries” is important, as they “picked
them themselves,” and they might
have picked ten times the quantity if
they had required them, for there is
no country where wild fruit grows in
such abundance. The letter goes on
to say, and this is interesting from a
woman’s standpoint, “the country is
very beautiful.” Speaking of the
friends with whom she went up to
live, she says: “They certainly have
a beautiful farm and house”—they
had been there about four years, also
going from Wisconsin—“they have
about twenty acres of oats and bar
ley, five acres alfalfa, three acres po
tatoes and I don’t know how many ol
vegetables. I think they have about
forty acres under cultivation altogeth
er. They are now draining a slough
which they will afterwards plow and
put into fall wheat. They also have
a large herd of cattle, and Mrs. C.
has about 100 chickens. They make
on an average of 30 pounds of butter
every week. I never saw such grand
cream.”
Now these people are enjoying life
In Alberta; they have a splendid cli
mate, excellent prospects, and are
happy that they are part and parcel
in the working out of the upbuilding
of a new country, that will take its
place amongst the progressive coun
tries of the century. Numbers of let
ters that express satisfaction as ex
