A GroceF's Interest is to
Furnish Pure Food.

People do not always realize the per-
sonal interest that a hrst-class grocer
takes in the articles of food which he
furnishes customers.
Some people believe that the grocer
Is Influenced only by the profit he may
derive. and that his recommendations
are governed entirely by a mercenary
motive, but this is not always true. On
the contrary, 1t is believed that a ma
Jorlty OF the better class Of grocers are
thoroughly honest in their desire to
furnish their patrons with really pure
and nourishlng food.
The following from John Wallgren,
a prominent grocer Of Portland, Ore
gan. may be OF Interest: II am on my
tenth case of Grape-Nuts, and my trade
IA still increasing. have been bothered
with a weak stomach for five yearR l

and after using three packages must
admit that am relieved OF my weak

.HUMORIST CHEW.
Chairman of the Streets, Alleys
and Grades Committee
HAS ESSAYED A NEW ROLE
With Eminent Success, but the Play
wasn't "The Power of the Press"
He IncontlRently Fires a Reporter
from tho Committee Room.
Changes TO be Made in tho Wheeling
Railway Company's Ordinance.

Ross t. Chew, the suave representa-
tive OF the First ward In the second
branch Of council, essayed new role
last night, while In the chair at the
meeting of the committee on streets,
alleys and grades, called for the pur-
pose Of discussing the ordinance grant
ing the wheeling Railway Company the
use Of Cromwell street, Island, for
base ball park switch, and certain
streets in the lower Eighth ward to
form a lower South Side loop-but 1t
wasn't the star part in ''Fhe Power OF
the Press" quite the contrary, in fact.
1t all came about this way: The COM
mlttee had heard several island peo-
pie. who were present to insist that the
railway company should, in considera-
ton OF the grant of the Cromwell street
franchise, agree in the ordinance to
give the upper Island people a twelve
minute service after the Martins Ferry
cars cease running via the Aetnaville
bridge, and Vice President Peterson
had replied on behalf of the company.
Then Chairman Chew announced that
the committee would go into executive
session. and the interested spectators
left the committee room.
NOW at former executive" sessions 1t
has been usual to allow the newspaper
reporters to remain. and the Intelligent
ger representative did not for q mo-
ment think that the invitation to retire
applied to him, but he was soon unde-
ceiyed, when Chairman Chew person.
ally asked him to retire. When asked
whether this was the action Of the COM
mittee, Mr.. Chew said 1t was his ac-
ton as chairman Of the committee. AS
no member Of the committee seemed
to have anything to say in opposition
to this absurd, ridiculous, and at the
same time, hlgh-handed and arbitrary
ruling, the newspaper men perforce re-
tired inglorIously.
Mr.. Chew's action was ridiculous be-
cause there was no reason for an ex-
ecutIve session, and was arbitrary and
unjustifled because 1t is usual to allow
reporters to remain at committee meet
ings. Also, 1t was ill-advlsed, because
the people who elect councIlmen know
of no reason that is sufficient to Justify
anything in the line of dark lantern"
methods.
So far as the business before the
committee is concerned, however, the
Intelilgencer does not intimate that
the Executive" session was held for
any improper purpose. It was simply
case of bad Judgment on the part of
Mr.. Chew, and a lack of individuality
on the part OF the members of the COM
mittee who were present.

The committee was called to order
shortly after o'clock by chairman
Ross T. Chew and the members pres
ent were, in addition to the chairman
Councllmen Mccormick haucl''le'
Warehouse and Megrail' In attend
ance were several citizens OF the upper
Island and Vice President Peterson, d.
rector Holloway and Attorney Ersklne'
Of the Wheeling Railway Company
The first Islander who addressed the
committee was Mr.. H. e ConneiiS'
who voiced the desire OF citizens on
North York and North Huron streets
and of the entire upper portion OF the
Island, that before the ordinance Tor
the Cromwell street track Is passed
there be inserted certain provisions
principal among which was the one
calling for a twelve-minute service on
the upper Island loop after the COM
pany begins running It's wheeling
Martins Ferry cars via the Bridgeport
bridge, instead Of via the AetnavlIie
bridge. In the course Of his remarks
Mr.. Connolly said something which was
later interpreted by Chairman Chew
to be n reflection upon the motives OF
councIlmen, and the chairman insisted
there should be no attacks upon menu
bers Of the committee.
Vice President B. w. Peterson said
the switch would be for the aeeommo-
dalton Of the base ball public and II
any strings are to be attached to TINS

As to the paving the company had
agreed to do so on certain tracks on
Island streets, the speaker said the
strike early In the summer had delayed
matters, but every promise would be
carried out to the letter. The company
he said, is doing everything possible
to give the public the very best ser
Vice to be had. He cited the really ex-
cellent service given during state fair

and just live an ordinary life without
making such an awful effort to live up
to the hotel"
"Well. folks will think you queer If
you have any such ideas. If you hang
off by yourself, first thing you know
they'll talk about you. You simply
must mix in and have a good time

do you really mean it?"
Certainly. l know you couldn't do
1t on Michigan avenue, but at sum-
mer hotel it is a different world; people
are living a summer hotel life. There
is that blond widow with the black
eyes, Did you notice her? DO you know
how she met all the men? Why, she
has the greatest plan you ever heard IT.
And yet it's so simple! She rushes
across the hall when she sees man
and pretended to he inahurry and near
ly knocked him overland drops her lorg-
nette, or her handkerchief, or son.e-
thing, and then-well, you should just
hear her apologize! rs perfect bit OF

oh | am so sorry! | beg a thousand
pardons! SO stupid Of me. | hope |
didn't hurt youn"
II should think she'd get to be
great nuisance. Don't the men object
to being run into in that fashion? Don't
they see through it in time?"
Not one in thousand sees through
it. and even if they did they wouldn't
mind it. Next time she looks confused
when they meet and laughs or apollo
glzes again, and then the matter is
settled, She has another man TO dance
with at the hops. Then she changes her
tactics. Sometimes she sits on their
hats"
"What?"
why, she sees a hat on rocking
chair and it's at dusk, and she sits
down on 1t as though she didn't know
1t was there. That is a chance for mon e
apologies and explanations. It's the
same old game, but it gets there.
There's another thing. Never let a
dog pass without admring it, Rush at
it and pat and admire it and ask about
it, 1t is sure to have an owner ha Ig-
ing around somewhere, and he or she
will come up and pretend to take the
dog away. Then ask about its breed.
and swallow any story they'll tell you
Every summer hotel dog is a thorough
bred, you know. 1t is a good plan to
say you remember having seen him at
the show with his box covered with
blue ribbons. They never deny that.
But don't let he dogs pass without ad-
miring them. After that comes the

every baby and every child that come
within your range of vision, They are
sure to have mothers somewhere at the
hotel, and you'll win them if you praise
the children. But lay it on thick! Don't
be afraid that fiattery is bad taste at
