LERTER FROM BUILDING INSPECTOR ENTwISLE
Inspector Entwise has laid letter before the
District Commissioners setting forth that having
been directed by you, February 10th last, to order
changes in the theaters as recommended by the
safety commission, portion or which was to be
done Immediately; but a large portion Of which
1t was considered would interfere with the Occu-
pancy, was ordered to be done during the summer
vacation The changes ordered to be done at once
were partly executed in the National and Ford'S
Opera House. and are complete as far as relates to
the exits. But the work ordered and not yet done
was the making OF fire-prOOf walls and curtains
separating the auditorium from the stage. Find
Ing that no attention was being paid to this por-
ton OF the ORDER again notified the prOprietOrs
on August 18th that the change must be made as
required In the previous order before opening the
houses In reply to the last order 1 received let

owner OF the Opera House, and l am in

honorable Commissioners, asking that they be re-

expenditures but as / have no discretion In the

Eat Your Breakfast First.

DR.. Hall is authority for the following thoughts
upon breakfasting before much exercise In the
open air. particularly in districts where fever
and ague are abundant: Breakfast should be
eaten in the morning before leaving the house
for exercise or labor of any description; those
who do ii will be able TO perform more work and
with greater alacrity than those who work an
hour or two before breakfast. Besides this the
average duration OF life of those who take break
fast before exercise or work will be a number Of
years greater than those who do otherwise.
Most persons begin to feel weak after having
been engaged five or six hours i'm their ordi-
