OF INTEREST TO THE WOMEN WHAT HAPPENED TO JANE By Virginia Terhune Van de Water CHAPTER MI. (Copyright, 1916, Star Co.) "Mary won't get home till the half past ten train." Augustus Reeves re marked that night as he and his wife removed the supper dishes from the table. He had insisted upon helping her about her various household tasks —lndeed he had been more gentle and ingratiating than he had ever been since his marriage. And with each proffer of assistance or ex pression of concern for her com fort. the woman's distrust deepened. There must be some reason for this transformation. A man of his temperament and character would not change from a rough boor to a polite companion without some compelling motive. "Half past ten, you say?" she roused herself from her musings to repeat. "Yes, and I was just thinking there's no need for you to sit up for her, unless you want to. I'll stay up and let her in if you like. But you've been doing her work all day. and 1 guess you're tired, aren't you?" "A little," she acknowledged. "I think I will go to bed as soon as the dishes are washed. Jake's going for Mary, isn't he?" "Yes. But I don't like to go up and leave the back door unlocked, and I never have let any of the men have the key to the house, so I'll just wait down here till Mary comes." Jane spoke truly when she said she was tired. But it was not the housework that had wearied her for that had amounted to little. But she was worn out with the mental strain of the day. There had not been a moment since the scene of this morning during which she had not dwelt mentally on somo aspect of the mystery surrounding her. And the more she thought the more nervous did she become; and as her nervousness increased the more difficult it was to turn her thoughts from her haunting prob lem. It was a vicious circle that wore her out. At 9 o'clock she started to go upstairs, then paused in the door of the diningroom. A Suggestion to Reeve* "If you arc going to sit up and read until Mary comes," she sug gested to Augustus, "wouldn't you be more comfortable in the sitting room, where the light is better than it is in here?" "No." he said, flushing uneasily under her clear ga'/.e, "the sitting room sofa is not as comfortable as this one is, and I think I'll lie down and take a nap. You go on up to bed and to sleep. Mary will come in carefully, so as not to wake you. And I'll come up very quietly after I've locked up." The experience of the day had rendered Jane acutely sensitive to the very atmosphere about her. Her alert suspicions made her sure that Tier husband had some reason for wanting her to go to bed and to sleep some reason for preferring to wait In the diningroom rather than In the sittingroom. What was this reason? In an instant she had answered the question for herself.

Any murmur of voices in there might be heard by her in her quiet room. Evidently Augustus wished to have a private conversation with I Mary upon her return a conversa tion he must have before he slept one which his wife must not sus pect. This idea occupied Janes per- , turbed mind as she undressed. | Even after she was in bed her senses were painfully keen, her understanding abnormally clear.' i But she forced her body to lie still as she made her plans. Mary would come in by the hack \ entrance, and go immediately into the diningroom. Augustus would meet her at the door to caution her ; to silence. Then, while his wife was : supposedly asleep, he would ques-. tion the woman about her journey. Jane must know about it, too. t But how? Why, it would be the easiest thing in the world! Over the din-1 ingroom was a large spare bed room. In it was a hot-air register connecting with the furnace pipe that supplied the diningroom with j lieat. In brushing and dusting this guest chamber. Jane had often j noticed that one could see through this register the morning sunlight ias it flooded the diningroom. But the register was always' ! closed, as the room was not needed nowadays. Well, then, Jane must go in there and open it. The weather had been so warm that the furnace | tire had been allowed to die out a ' fortnight ago. She lay still until she heard Au- i gustus go out to the barn to tell Jake that it was time he was starting for the train. He did not call the man for fear of waking his wife. she Hears Him Go And his wife, during the three minutes that he was out of the house ran swiftly into the spare bedroom, opened the register, and left the door slightly ajar. Then, as swiftly, she darted downstairs and ! opened the register in the dining room. She had seen her husband close this a week ago with the re mark that it would not be needed again this season. He had even moved the sidetable directly in i front of it. He would never think that anyone had disturbed it since then. She was back in bed before Au gustus returned from the barn. She heard Jake drive out of the yard, and, ten minutes later, she heard the incoming train whistle at the Milton station. She remembered how she had listened for the whistle of the down train on the morning of Ned Sanderson's departure last September. What an incongruous thought to have now! How different was this watching and listening to that! What would Ned think of her if he i know how deceitful she had be : come? She steeled herself against the shrinking from the task caused by this idea. She had been a good, trustful girl then. She was a iove : less wife now. That was the dif ; ferenee. Circumstances had done this. The fault was not hers. (To Bo Continued.)

By Klin Wheeler Wilcox Copyright, 1915, Star Co. The mental difference between man and woman has been set forth in a little pamphlet by Asaph Lewis. She says of woman: "Her mind is higher, more refined. This is where the principle of selec tion shows itself most by endowing the weaker partner with that physical grace and refinement of organization, and her mental faculties are corre spondingly more refined. "Man, as we see every day, delights in competition, and this leads to ambi tion, which passes too readily into sel fishness. Woman, who has never en tered upon the competitive field, has not developed this selfish spirit. A woman is more prone to sympathy; she is more human than man. "Man cannot understand woman— the clumsy inability of a coarser nature to appreciate the feelings of the finer. The mental hide of a man through the different stages of evolution has been hardened, and he carries into his home those qualities of insensibility, self assertion and self-seeking which have elsewhere led to success in the strug gle for existence. This is the cause of so many unhappy homes to-day. Man, who is naturally coarse, cannot under stand woman, who is naturally refined. "I have obtained sufficient proof of this from the many homes I have had to visit. The more ignorant the man the more brutal is his treatment of his wife; the more educated the less brutal he is to his wife. The mental difference is easily noticed between the sexes." It has been the observation of this writer that men arc really more mod est and often moro humane than women. We have only to look in the ballrooms, public and private, in thea ters and opera houses, to see how im modest good, cultured, respectable women can be iu their dress. Husbands, fathers and brothers of these women suffer mortification of the spirit in seeing how their dear ones unnecessarily display their bodies to the public gaze. Woman should be educated and woman should have the franchise and woman should have a voice in the gov ernment in which she lives. But not because she is superior to man or more refined or more humane, but because she is a thinking, toiling human being like himself, and it is her right to be his comrade and co-worker in all things FOODS THEY BUILD OR DESTROY Amazing but Rarely Suspected Truths About the Things_ You Eat. (Copyright, 1916, by Alfred W. McCann.) Indispensable food minerals upon which life depends must be in tlie food that man eats in order that the hody or man may take them from that food. I j All food contains some of the build- | ing materials needed by the blood. Some foods contain all of them, except; where man ignorantly removes them. If by accident we should consume for a few months food deficient in some of these building materials we should gradually feel the effects upon our general health. It is not difficult to understand that if we are partial to a particular kind of food from j which a considerable portion of na-1 ture's building materials has been; abstracted we are bound to develop j disorder. When the laws under which nature i operates are suspended nature does j not operate normally. Man might as, well expect a jeweler to make a watch j without the materials from which the I wheels, springs, screws, and bearings | are made as to expect nature to make a drop of normal blood without the elements that enter into the composi tion of that blood. Nature will set up a warning for us before fatal damage has been done, in order that we may quickly set about the work of repair. But if we do not understand her warning, or! do not heed it, we head straight for destruction, unless in the mean time, some accidental change of diet pro vides the body with the offsetting ele ments necessary to the maintenance of its balance. Kood Is the most Important thing tn ! life because upon It all other things, depend, rood is digested ana awiuu- A Mrs. Lewis, iu a personal letter writes: "When I was writing my little book let I thought of Adelina Patti, Mary Garden, Marie Corelli, Mrs. Patrick Campbell and many others, and what education has done for women. Be fore woman was allowed to be edu cated she 'had only her physical at tractions, and when that was destroyed by the hand of time she was helpless. "But now woman is so advanced that the one who depends upon her physical attraction to carry her through is but the mere shallow woman. What woman, I ask you, to-day will stick little bits of court plaster on her face as an aid to her beauty? What kind of a man is he who admires such foolish ness? Is it possible that we can say such women are educated? Is that the kind of education they receive at college? "Women depend now upon their mentalities. To-day a woman knows that her intellectual attraction is the only attraction worthy the notice of a real man." Again the writer of this article must disagree with Mrs. Lewis. Much as I approve of education, culture, equal franchise and social and industrial equality of the sexes, the eternal femi nine appeals strongly to me, even when it exhibits itself in the coquetry of a bit of court plaster on the cheek or chin. The woman who ignores all the pretty little arts of beauty-making and who cares only to be clean and neat and never alluring has crossed over the line from real femininity to the masculine border line. It is necessary always for a woman to remember the tmportan-e of being beautiful, not only morally and men tally, but physically, just as it is im portant for a man to be strong, men tally. morally and physically, to be the complete man. The woman who cultivates beauty in her personality has much greater power in the world than the one who relies wholly upon her intellect. It la impossible to chauge the ideas of men on these subjects. The woman who undertakes to hold a man's regard by simply being his mental associate, ignoring all the arts and frivolities of dress and the care of her complexion, her hair and her figure, is more than likely to find her self superseded before middle age in the mind of the man of her choice by some other woman, mentally her inferior, but possessing physical charms. Mrs. Lewis needs to study both sexes a little more closely before she ex presses herself too emphatically on this subject. lated in obedience to a fixed law. If a man, woman or child maintains a state of normal health, without know ing anything about that law, good for tune , happy accident, and blind chance are the elusive forces which have temporarily or luckily barred the way against destruction. In the case of the army of the dead, augmented In the United States every year by nearly 400,000 little children under ten years of age, no happy ac cident has ever interfered. Surely it is evident that man should make an effort to locate the law upon which so much physical comfort de pends, understand It, and apply It as it was evidently intended to be ap plied. Each little drop of blood is an ex pression of that law. Anything that Interferes with the purity and charac ter of the blood is hostile to life. Be cause man leaves everything to chance and as a rule chooses to accept the idea that It is unnecessary to heed his diet, he sends a call Into the un known darkness and demands hun dreds of diseases to come forth from nothingness to assist him in misman aging the world in its said sum total of misery and pain. If we remove from our food one element that is necessary to life we introduce the beginning of disorder into the body. If two elements are removed the body may mnkn use of the other fourteen for n time, but soon the unnatural condition under which nature is thus forced to operate will assert itself and confusion must ensue. If three or four or five substances are removed from the building mate .liuls tlie inevitable collapse will take place a little sooner. If seven or eight elements are removed destruction be comes speedy. When all sixteen sub stances are removed starvation be gins at once. If we believe that God has eiabor ated these substances for man's bene fit it becomes a little short of sacrile gious to disregard them or to trille with them, because by so doing man serves notice upon his Maker that lis is independent of his Maker's designs. If, on the contrary man rejects God entirely from his consideration ol the scheme of the universe the extra ordinary phenomena which spring out of food nutrition, health, and Hie must sooner or later overpower liis spirit and cause him to bend a. rever ent knee, in the presence of the i ocles of life, too vast to bo compre hended by the human Intellect. In all events, whether he be a pro found believer or a scoffing atheist, he must see that the matter of break fast, dinner, and supper is not a mat ter to be left to accident or to an untrained kitchen drudge or to a food factory concerned chiefly in the profit - paying characteristics of its products. If he is pale or anemic, if his energy seems to be easily exhausted, if he feels little like undertaking the commonplace duties of the day, if lila children have lusterless eyes, pinched cheeks, undeveloped limbs, or ab normal tendencies, let hiin look to his food. If his children are bright, sturdy, and re3ist illness by not falling vic tims to disease which it is wrongfully assumed must come to all children, let him congratulate himself upon the lucky accident that has for a timo brought to them a supply of the food bullding materials necessary to their normal development and health. In congratulating himself let him understand the facta. An apple falls from the branch of an apple tree to the earth in obedience to a fixed law. If his children are well to-day as a result of the operation of a fixed law, concerning which ho knows nothing, it is necessary for him to leurn something of that law In order that for his children he may consider to morrow. If a child is temporarily well as the result of a happy accident let us keep that child well by understand ing the law by which health is con tinued. The sixteen food minerals are part of that law. The body derives these elements, let us repeat, from its food and from no other source. It therefore follows that these elements must be In the food that man cats in order that the body of man may take them from thai food. We shall now try to determine what business these substances carry on in the body and why they are necessary and how many of them aro artificially removed from our most familiar foods without our knowledge and what happens after they are re moved and thus through our simple study of the facts locate the law that will keep us well.
