Nissen's Health Institute.

Prof. Hartvig Nissen's health treatment
has become so popular with the public and
his patients increased in numbers that he
has found It necessary to secure commodi-
GUS quarters, and he has rented the large
house SOB Sixteenth street, where the
Health Institute will be found in the future.
The different parlors and treating rooms
are newly and nicely furnished, aud strict
attention has been given in putting the
house In order, to the comfort and con-
venience Of the patients. Hereafter the
professor will receive ladies and gentlemen
from 8 n. m. to 8 p, m. The Swedish treat
ment Is OF so light and easy 4 character
that II becomes acceptable TO the patient at
the first lesson, and no fatigue or tired
feeling follows, but, on the contrary, 1t
gives buoyaney TO the body and serves to in
ject new life into the system. With the
good results which have followed to those
persons who have awaited themselves of
this exercise, have come strong lndorse-
ments fits excellence and which has been
the chief cause of its popularity.

A SUCCESSFUL VENTURE.


Mr.. a, Kaufman Finds Fortune In
His Eastern Enterprise,
The double combination store Of A.
Kaufman, Nos. 1871 and 1913 Eleventh
street southeast, 10 riding on the high wave
Of prosperity, aud the tide Of success flows
rapidly in. Tho patronage OF this extensive
establishment is almost beyond comproheu-
sion when its location Is considered. The
enterprising proprietor, when he "opencd
up IN the far eastern section of the city,
was thought to be making q mistake, but
business tact and perseverance, show what
can be accomplished, and from the print
tive store In the outset the present extern
sivc house speaks best in proving to what
extent an energetic and systematic NOR
chant con perfect his business Many of
the downtown trGdespoople now seek out
knutmnn's, drawn thither by the lInowl-
edge of being able to secure most excellent
bargains, both rs to price and quality OF
goods One Of the secrets OF the success of
this house is that they meet the market
with their prices and prefer lnrge sales ut
reasonable figures rather than small ones
at sitter prices. The proprietor does not
make the mistake Of overlooking, aud cut
his prices TO secure reduction, but In
marking down does IL to hold his
trade, gather more, carry rs much of 1t as
he can through the summer season, and do
q business equal to the times when every
thing is booming. Nothing Is lost by such
course, but much gained, as every new
customer gets satisfied, and on O second
visit is likely to bring another new one, who
has heard of the bargains offered and desires
the opportunity to profit by them. The ex-
PLANTATION OF Mr.. Kaufmau's prosperity is
that he does business entirely on q cash
besis, both in buying and selling, which has
proved a double advantage, and is divided
between him and his patrons. For the en-
tetrrise'h displays and efforts to accommo-
date he deserves the great business that the

THE YALE BOAT RACES.

Enthusiastic Students On The Docks.
 The class races of the under classes of Yale came off in the harbor Saturday forenoon. The course was from Oyster Point to Belle Dock, a distance of two miles. All along the dock fronts at the finish were crowds of students cheering their crews onward.
 The sophomore crew had the advantage from the start and crossed the line seventy five feet in advance of the second boat. On the last quarter the juniors and freshmen pulled hard for second place. The juniors came in ahead by about two boat lengths.
 The time was: 'S7, 1924; '86, 10:57; 'sS, 11:01. The best college record mp to Satur- day in the class races was 10:53. The crews were made up as follows: '87-Cop- ley, s. Knight, Burke, Hare, Holley, Mid dlebrook, Hartridge;s E. L. Caldwell Coxswain, Haven. 'S6-Goebel, Cornwell, Vernon, Colgate, Ames, Francke, Cooley, Appleton; coxswain, Goodwin.

 with Harvard men turned its contents down ;he embankment just this side of the bridge # West river. The horses were easily handled
 and the men were too happy at the result or
 the game to growl and jumped in again.
 Another party of Harvard men while driving to the game with 8 livery team collided with
 <. horse car and hack on West Chapel street and had a couple of wheels smashed. Will
 liam Dunningan, the Wall street livery man, had one of his hacks damaged to the amount of $150 by a collision with street car at the corner of York and Chapel streets. He was driving party of Harvard men to the game. Tn all the accidents which happened to the Harvard men no one was in jured.

 A natural cause of complaint comes from many who attended the game in carriages and were debarred from seeing any of it to l .dvantage.
