LAUGH AND GROW
FAT" IS TRUTHFUL
It Is nstonlshliiR to one who has not
studied the subject thoughtfully to learn
how completely under the control of the
nervous system, or rather, of the emo-
tions, the entire digestive apparatus is.
It Is u matter of everyday e.perlcnee
that the appetite Is under the subjection
of the feelings, although not of the will.
The impulse to celebrate ally good news
by a dinner is fouudad upon the fact
that when one is pleased ami elated hun-
ger Is excited In early times this hunger
was gratified on the moment, lust ms the
accompanying thirst too often in now.
but the modern man usually defers his
eating to a suitable occasion
The loss of appetite caused by bad
news or misfortune of any kind Is too
well known to need more than mention.
Worry or physical fatigue will often art
in the same wav The same causes that
destroy the appetite will arrest or greatly
retard the process of digestion It is a
matter of common experience that any
disagreeable occurrence during or Just
after u meal will stop digestion and may
brim; ou a bilious attack, with headache,
nausea, and a coated tongue. < .neon
t rat Ion of the mliid or uuxlety will act
In the same way
i n the other baud, as the appetite is
stimulated by good news and mental ela
tlon. so digestion Is favored by whatever
promotes gayety and high spirits.
"Laugh ami grow fat" like so many
popular sayings, is an expression which
contains mud' truth. Dyspepsia is a
malady that will seldom be found In the
family where the dinner gives occasion
for cheerful talk and mirth, and where
nil worry and "disgrunt lemeut." and
especially quarreling, are under a ban.
Fver.v member of the family should
make It an absolute rule to put worry
and all thoughts of business o- study
aside for the moment ami to come to the
table prepared to be light hearted and
gay. This la not only as a moral duty,
nut rests upon the very • ' '-steal reason
that his appetite will be better and his
food will taste better and will be better
digested.
tu this connection It goes without say-
ing that hills and disagreeable letters
should never be the accompaniment of
the morning meal, because a day started
with chagrin Is a very hard day to
•tralghteu out.

CHICAGO WOMAN
MAKES MILLIONS
From a position as stenographer at
lit) a week to the possession of a for-
tune rated In millions Is a long step for
a woman, hut It has been accomplished
by Mrs. Ora Hood Russell, of Chicago,
lu little more than ten years, and the
fortune is all of her own making, gained
by her shrewdness lu speculations In oil
hinds. She went lo work In a lawyer's
office In Chicago when she was eighteen
years old, ami it chanced that the man
10 whom she was married a year or tyo
afterward was a practical oil man Mrs.
Uussell took a keen Interest In his work,
ami on his death decided to go Into the
011 business herself With more than
ordinary courage she risked her first
profits on a trip to Venezuela, ami was
so pleased with the oil prospects there
she hurried back to the I'nlted States
nnd tried to Interest Amerleun capital.
Rut she could find few«to share her faith,
nnd finally had to give up the scheme.
A bailee visit to Wayne county. Ky
convinced her oil fields could be worked
at a tremendous profit there, but once
again she found capital shy. I'mllsuiayed
bv the gloomy prophecies of others, Mrs
Uussell spent every cent she owned or
could raise in taking options and leases
on land, and .though the success of her
first wells was such as to bring thou-
sands of Investors and speculators be-
hind her. Mrs. llussell had mode such
good use of her start that she now has
several thousand acres under her com-
plete and Individual control.
MISSOURI WOMEN
0PEXAT1M A BANK
liver In .loplln, Mo., there Ik :i little
I group of seven women who are too busy
doing work usually Intrusted to men only
to care much whether they share man's
right to vote at file polls. Theee women
run the biggest bank lu the town, the
| Cunningham National, and while Thomas
Cuunlngluini, the founder, still retains his
position as president, lie Is in Ills seven-
tieth year and well content to leave most
of the active management to Mrs. I\ V.
Church, the cashier, and her assistants.
It was the busbies* ability of Cunningham's
I wife that first led him to employ women
In preference to men. and when he opened
• the bank he tried the experiment of set-
ting Mrs church, then a school jjlrl, with
a neat "pigtail" down her hack, to work
on a set of books Time came when she
put her hair up and married, hut all the
.while she was getting a firmer grin on
banking, and now .site passes on all the
loans ami handles a business that ainounta
to more than fl.tiOO.tHH) a year other wo-
men assistant* were Introduced from time
to time, until today Mrs Church luis under
I her two assistant cashiers ami four book-
| keepers, all of whom are women. They
conduct the entire business of the bank,
with the exception of a man employed to
I make outside collections.

those who can provide the pleasures she craves. The cities where she
works are crowded with men who make a business ot winning the
young immigrant girls, and their victims may be counted by the hun-
dreds. .
"The work of the churches and charitable organizations is nobly
and intelligently prosecuted, but the peril will remain until there is
an awakening of thought which will lead these girls of the lower
strata of European peasantry into a higher development by educat-
ing them to resist the temptations of pleasure, and to suit their joys
to their stations in the struggle for exislence.

I New York. Jan. 2.—Miss lie Wolfe i*
known, according to her competitors, not
merely lu New York, but right across the
I coil ti lien t, She began her career by scor-
ing a big hit with her creation of thejn-
terior of the house of ilie lending New
1 York woman's organization, the Colony
I Club in Madison avenue. And she Is now
mulching this by gollif to the other edge
of the i'nlted States and dolnt the ex-
I climlve men's organization of San Fran
eisco, the Pacific I'nlon. overlooking the
Golden Hate.
Sim lima besides done interiors for the
homes of scores of wealthy Americans in
j tlie abort time since she left the stage three
years ago. And she Is understood to earn
a yearly Income quite as large ns that of
many bank presidents.
•Now, I am. I think, the only woman
in this business to have a large and well
organized staff of fifteen people working
1 for me nil the time—stenographers. a book-
keener. a general manager, and so on.
"It takes a certain knack. So many
American homes are just stiff with uilt-
iQtff&ad furniture, which turns rooms made
' to live in into tomblike affairs, whleh the
| man avoids, the children are frightened
of and of which only the woman of the
house is proud.
' "And in this field, if one is successful,
lit iloes not take very long. My own urn-
cess In three years Is exceptional I iup-
I nose, and helped on by somewhat favor-
I lug circumstances for a start

after two years' employment by n worn

PARIS REPENTS
HATPIN S CRAZE
WHEN TOO LATE
New York, Jan. 1.—Directors of the
Metropolitan Museum of Art will decide
Just how they will display the important
a ml unrivaled collection of early Amer-
ican furniture which Mrs Uussell Sage
acquired at a cost of $100,000 from Mi-
ll Eugene Holies, a lawyer of Boston,
ami presented to the museum.
It has been suggested that the objects
be arranged as if actually iu use iu a
dwelling of tlie centuries they represent.
Such an arrangement will not only dis-
play the collection to great advantage and
taste, but present the beholder with an
adequate idea of the household appearance
of the ages gone and enable a contrast
with that of today
The trustees of the museum say that at.
this time no gift e. uld be of greater use
to the institution for special stress is be-
ing laid upon the work of the department
of decorative art, to which the collection
will be added.
Although Mrs. Sage, in making the pre-
sentation referred to only four hundred
'pieces c£ .rurnitiifo, there are ornaments,
such as clocks, andirons. candlesticks,
warming pans, fire tools and various n ten - .
tdK which make a total of tV u pieces.
Some of the examples of the collection
were s,-en at the recent Hudson-Fulton
exhibition in tlia museum nnd were great-
ly admired.
There are in the collection seven rare
spindle chairs, of which graceful form
there are few examples now extant. Titer*
is a remarkable "thousand lee-red table."
s. called in a spirit of hyperbole, for the
actual count is onl\ eight The slighter
furniture of the ag - when highboys and
low boys were iu demand is well repre-
sented. The latest period represented is
the first quarter of the Nineteenth cen-
tury.
There is no other collection of such ini
porta nee as this in the country The one
approaching it most nearlv is the Pendle
ton collection now owned bv the city of
Providence which is installed in a Georg

. ci im posed entirely "f Chippendale places
