GR4PE-NUTS.
A New and Highly Nutritious Food,

The odd sounding name is used to designate peculiar food, made not ex- actly in the shape of nuts, but having a. pleasant, nutty flavor and crisp brittle ness that makes them a charming fa- vorite with the palate.
 Of yet more value than the taste is the food value of GrapeNuts. They are largely composed of Grape-Sugar. (your dictionary can tell you about that) and those who use them will find the morning meal has not only been pleasant, but has been quickly and easily digested; for grape-sugar is an article produced in the human body at one stage of the digestion of food, and is at once ready for transformation into good, healthy blood and nourishment
 It should not be understood that the grape sugar, of which Grape-Nuts is made, has been produced in the human body. But this grape-sugar is made by much the same process as the body en- ploys, and is produced by natural treat ment of grains without any foreign substance whatever. It is made by the Postum Co. at Battle Creek, Mich. The result is perhaps the most highly nutri- tious food ever produced.
 Grocers sell Grape-Nuts.

 The supreme lodge Is in poor finan- cia1 condition, having less than ten thousand dollars on hand, and this fact has caused some of the members to se- verely criticise the present supreme of- fioers, and some of these charges found their way into the public press, causing a great sensation. The supreme lodge has appointed an Investigating commit tee to ascertain who furnished the charges to the papers
 The business meeting of the supreme lodge was held behind closed doors.

Everyone Should Aid i'm Making Their
 Benefit n Success

A squad of eleven soldiers from the hos pital, who are now convalescent, attended the afternoon performance at the Wonder land theater yesterday, profiting by the invitation of Manager Poi, who has sent passes to Superintendent Starkweather ad- hitting all able to attend the theater The soldier boys were evidently delighted with the show, but were themselves the lions of the hour
 There was large lady audience present. and their attention was pretty evenly di- vided between the stage and the box where the soldiers sat.
 The proposition to give a benefit perform ance at the Wonderland theater on Thurs day night next for the hospital fund in aid of the sick soldiers is meeting with hearty approval. Manager P0li had a conference with General Merwin yesterday and the lat ter gave his consent for Mir. Polls photog- apher to visit the men at the hospital and take photographs and interesting groups of the scenes there. This was done to make a series of views for the wargraph appro- priate for d soldiers benefit, and which will be shown at the theater next week.
 Manager Poli says that while the prices at his house are but 10 and 20 cents there will be no objection on Thursday night. to anyone so inclined, to pay more for their tickets General Merwin's agent will be present and every cent will go to him for the soldiers.
 Don't forget the soldier boy on Thursday night, but give him q rousing benefit.

Grand Opera House.

The popularity of the war song or anything connected with the military nowadays is beyond description. The song writers have exerted themselves to fill the demand for war songs and the sadder the incidents treated the better the song takes. Harris beautiful song, Break the News to Mother" is perhaps the most popular of the hum dred and one productions. Already half a dozen parodies have been written on the song and it's title is familiar to almost everyone, although few can truthfully say that they have heard it..
 Yesterday afternoon the orchestra was well filled at the Grand and the majority of the audience was composed of ladies. When Nestor and Bennett, the illustrated song artists, gave their number they selected this song. With the illustrations the song was doubly effective and when finished there was not dry eye in the house. If that audience could have caught hold of one of the soldiers at the hospital then, that particular soldier would have had no cause for complaint. Joe Welch told a lot of new stories during the afternoon and evening performances and in re- sponse to liberal applause sang song the words of which had more merit than the melody. In his singing he manages to keep shade off the key. The songs are all the funnier for the depression.
 Next week will see some more stars in the vaudeville line. The bill will be of especial interest to the ladies and will include several comedy combina- tions. The features will be: Conroy and Mcdonald in a twenty minute com edy; George Evans, the Honey ,Boy"; Johnson and Davenport, Football on the Farm; Sully and Moore in com- edy sketch, "The New Woman; the three Brothers Melrose, acrobatic champions of America; Edwards, Ker- nell and Williams in comedy satire, "A Nigh Out; John and Bertha Gleason, Winnie Dewitt, worlds greatest female cornetist, and Bryant and Elton, vocal specialists. Ladies are admitted to all parts of the house during the afternoon performance for ten cents. Bicycles checked free in foyer

Our Heroes.

Proclaim them heroes! let the nation honor Their deeds, and blason on it's every page Most rare eulogiums, that may rest upon
 her
 To be transmitted down to every age. Proclaim them heroesi they have won the
 battle,
 The officers have, shared it with the men, By coolest bravery mid the din and rattle Of bursting shells and fiery missiles then. Proclaim them heroes! every thrilling fibre Leaps up in ecstacy to give them praise, They fought for freedom and for Cuba
 Libre,
 With all the world in mystical amaze. Proclaim them heroes: let the shouting mil
 lions With ringing voices greet the starry flag, Till shouts shall multiply into the billions And deafning echoes rend each mountain
 crag. Proclaim them heroes! they have faced the And the grim nghtnings of the belching Many have fallen where the death line sum-
 derS
 And shuts them out from life's expectant
 suns. Proclaim them heroes! land and naval
 forces
 Alike are worthy of our countrys boast, There where the conflict swept it's fiery
 courses.
 On all the hills of Cubas rocky coast. Hero of heroes! with the battle over, He bade his men uncover and bend low And recognize in God the only cover That could have shielded them from every
 blow. Each man a hero! tears and silent weeping For those who gave their life blood for the
 cause, The nations heart will have them in it's
 keeping,
 And hfstory's page will give them it's ap-
 plause.

Heroism at Sea.

Recently writer for a we'll known mag
azine endeavored to prove that the much
reverenced heroism at sea by sailors was,
in fact, more a matter of romance than
reality; that salvage, not philanthropy, is
generally the moving spirit among them
when meeting ships in dire distress.
Doubtless there are isolated cases of sell
hShneSS or even inhumanity among those
who follow the sea for a calling when aid
is called for, but the long list of examples
OF the highest form of heroism, of forget
fulness of self, or philanthropy untinged
by sordid considerations, which the his
tory of the marine, both merchant and
naval, furnishes, carries its own refuta-
ton of the charge and completely sus-
talns those who regard a sailor as among
the bravest of brave men. Within twenty
four hours are chronicled two instances of
exalted heroism at sea, and one on the
Delaware river, to confound the reason
ing of the writer of the magazine article
mentioned.
The perils of the sea are ever present to
those who sail in ships, and none know
how soon they may be wrecked or in dis
tress and need aid, and this tends to create
bond of sympathy between all sailors.
1t is exceedingly rare to hear one refus-
ing succor when it is urgently called for,
even when there is no prospect of pecu-
mary reward. Cases like the rescue of
the people on the i'll fated steamer Veen-
dam by the officers and crew of the St.
Louis, the pure heroism displayed by
those on the torpedo boat Gushing, in
risking almost certain death in their I'M
avalllng attempt to save the life of Ensign
Breckenridge, and the rescue in 1889 of
734 souls from the Denmark by those on
the Missouri, are perhaps conspicuous
deeds, but they only embellish the bright
pages Of the history of marine bravery,
and indicate the almost habitual conduct
of their brethren when called upon to act
in behalf of humanity in distress. 1t can
not but recall thrill of universal admir-
alton, Of reverence, for those who rowed
through heavy sea to the rescue Of the
men, women and children from the fast
sinking Veendam; for the sailors on the
Gushing who leaped into raging waters to
the rescue of Ensign Breckenridge, and
for those who Oh Saturday went
promptly to the aid of lad who broke
through the ice on the basin at League
Island Navy Yard, and for one in partc-
ular, who, as he was sinking, as he
thought, fer the last time, had self for
getfulness sufficient to give words of en-
enlargement to the boy he sought to save.
These three acts, chronicled within few
hours of each other, will bring to the
memory the daring deeds which have fire.
