(CTHICAGO, Jan 156, ~Mrs. Susanne
Ella Wood Dean, author and million
aire widow of John E Dean, recom
mends procisely the authors named
above as the ones that g young Amer
jcan girl should select for steady read
ing. And in recommending them she
set educational, social and religious
Chicago talking excitedly-—mostly
sgainst her. Coliege professors, cler
gymen, leaders in social uplift move
ments, all agreed that the menu pro
posed by Mrs. Dean is not at all the
sort of thing that young girls ought to
digest—even If they can. George Ellot,
they concede, is all right. But the
others—!
Too French'
Mrs. Dean Is Sincere.
Mrs. Dean is sincere—and very ear
rest. Modern novels, she says, are
mostly vile and entirely untrue. The
four authors she has named are, she
declares, the only fiction writers wkho
have written truth and written it weil.
Father Francis Xavier McCabe, Dr,
Emil G. Hirsch and Bishop Samuel
Fallows, representing religious Chica
go, expressed themselves as unalter
ably opposed to Mrs. Dean's selec
tions—excepting George Ellot, who,
they say, is not in the same class with
the French realists.
Henry B. Legler, librarian of the
Chicago Public Library: Mra. Ger
trude Howe Britton, member of the
Board of Bducation: Mrs. Josephine
Tilton Bowen, president of the Juve
nile Protective Association, and Mrs.
Josephine Turck Baker, author, are
others who refuse. to subscribe to Mrs,
Dean’s unique views.
Writing New Book.
Mrs. Dean has just returned from a
trip to the Orient, and has started
work on a new book which, she says,
will serve as & message to young
girls. The book will be an attempt at
stern realism,
“American girls to-day read too
much fiction that is mostly flth,” Mrs.
Dean sald. “The only fiction writers
that ever daYed to draw true pictures
of life were George Ellot, Balzac, Zola
and De Maupassant. Let young wom
en read the books of these masters
and they will know life and conse
quently be benefited.”
_Here follow some of the expressions
of prominent Chicagoans who dis
agree with Mrs. Dean as to benefits
derived from young women reading
the foreign authors enumerated.
Many Give Views.
Henry E. Legler sald:
“A young woman of 20 years may
profitably read any of George Ellot's
novels, but I should hesitate to rec
ommend to the average young woman
some of the books written by Zola and
De Msurulm. and perhaps even
those of Balzac. Not that literature
of this type is corrupting when read
by mature persons, but because the
{mmature and impressionable minds
of young people read into the works
meanings which are not there, and are
accordingly influenced in their atti
tude toward life.”
"mhor Francis , Xavier McCabe
da:
“I ean not understand how Mrs.
Dean would recommend a Young
woman to devote her attention to such
authors. I belleve that continual read
ing of these books would demoralize
a girl. I except George Ellot’s books.”
Bishop Samuel Fallows sald:
“There are so many good books that
our young women may read that T am
gure no girl could be benefited by
spending her time with De Maupas
sant, ZOTA and Balzac. There is noth
ing inspirational or uplifting in any
thing they ever wrote. I think many
of George Hliot’s works are splendid.”
Dr. Emil G. Hirsch said:
“T gertainly can think of many au
thors that T should recommend to
young women, and De Maupassant,
Zola and Balzac are not among them,
although I approve of George Eliot for
both young and old. It is difficult to
concelve of a woman advising girls
to devote their reading energy to
these other authors, particularly when
the recommendation says they are the
only ones that should be read. Put
me down as being very much against

Uric Acid in Meat Excites Kidneys

Take Salts at First Sign of Blad

| Backache.
Kidney and Bladder weakness re
sult from uric acid, says a noted au
thority. The kidneys fllter this acid
from the blood and pass it on to the
bladder, where it often remains to
irritate and inflame, causing a burn
ing, scalding sensation, or setting up
an irritation at the neck of the blad
der, obliging you to seek relief two
or three times during the night. The
sufferer s in constant dread, the
water passes sometimes with a scald
ing sensation and Is very profuse;
again there is difficulty in avoid
ing it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call
it, because they can’t control urina
tion. While it is extremely annoying
and sometimes very painful, this is
really one of the most simple ail
ments to overcome. Get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from your phar
macist and take a tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast, con
tinue this for two or three days. This
will neutralize the acids in the urine
so it no longer is a source of irrita
tion to the bladder ana urinary or
gars which then act normally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless,
and id made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and is used by thousands of folks who
are subject to urinary disorders
caused by uric acid irritation. Jad
Salts is splendid for kidneys and
caases no bad effects whatever.

These names stand out like a lone star in a clouded sky.
They are the names of cigars, cigars of quality, cigars of more
than ordinary excellence.
Good, clean, curling, super-cured tobacco—the finest grown—
makes up these three smokers’ favorites.
They smoke free and easy, and the aroma is one of delicious
voluptuousness.
For years they have stood the acid test, and to-day the esales
are bigger than ever, and the mighty army of smokers is being
added to, by leaps and bounds, right along.
Try a trial order. You'll be convinced.

January Isa Harvest Month
for Furniture Buyers
NOW is the time to buy furniture. Whether it's
feathering the nest for two or replacing some of
the pieces Mother bought in 1897—now is the oppor
tune moment to go shopping for the choicest values.
January is the month of furni
ture sales, just as April is the
month of showers and June is
the month of brides. A -dollar
can be made to do almost double
duty if used in connection with
the January sales.
“Clear-away’’ is the watch
word in furniture stores and in
the furniture sections of depart
ment stores during the golden
shopping month of January.
Stocks must be “turned over’’—
the laws of good merchandising
demand it—and prices go down,
down to move the pieces out of
the stores and into the homes of
Atlanta.
That is why forehanded furniture buyers—
or buyers of any worth while Merchandise
—study the advertisements each day in The
cESRSIAN MMPAMERTCAN
SRR i S N T iy M"wa.,
The NeYspapers of the Home
It may be an odd chair or.
table; a bedroom suite or a din
ing room set you desire—the
chances are that whatever you
want you will find it somewhere
at a distinct saving. There is
no reduction in quality—only
prices are reduced.
Forward:lookjng merchants
make January furniture sales a
feature of their advertising. They
realize the public must know be
fore they can buy; that people
can only buy to the best ad
vantage (even at a general sale
time) by being familiar with all
the advertising of all the leading
furniture stores.
