Eat Apples and BE Healthy.

If you are a woman and want to be
healthy and wise, wealth being of thirdly
consideration you must eat apples for
breakfast, lunch and dinner. with d sup
Elementary nibble before retiring al night.
That is, you must do it if YOU desire to
be fashionable as well as healthy and
wise. Then you must renounce cabs and
carriages and electric vehicles and such
enervating luxures and walk down town
or w town or TO and from marketing
You must not only walk to be fashionably
healthy and wise, but you must walk
alone. No interesting companionship is to
be tolerated.
You must walk alone and you must
think pleasant thoughts. In consequence
of this final fashionable injunction it is
a common sight on the Lake Shore drive

see them laugh in pleased appreciation of

TO THE MAYOR
Delegates Wanted to the Charities
and Correction Conference.
SEND YOUR NAMES, PLEASE
The Mayor Would Also Like Suggestions
as to How to Celebrate Dewey Day,
on May /, if There's to Be
Celebration.

Mayor Harrington yesterday received
the following letter, which explains it.
self:
For several years past delegates to
the National Conference of Charities
and Correction have been appointed by
the mayors Of many cities. The attend
ance of such delegates has been of
great benefit to the cities which they
have represented, for the delegates
have brought back valuable ideas with
reference to the administration of pub
lie and private charities. Usually such
delegates go at their own charges. You
are requested to appoint two or more
delegates to represent your city. The
delegates should either be officials who
have to do with the care of the poor,
the management of correctional and
charitable institutions, etc, or citizens,
men or women, who are especially in
terested in charitable and philanthropic
work. Please send me the names of the
delegates appointed, in order that I
may send them information with refer
ence to the meeting. Yours respect
fully, H. H. HART,
General Secretary"
Mayor Harrington suggests that all
who feel interested in the movement to
the extent of wishing to assist it by his
or their presence at the Forthcoming
conference send him their names and
addresses and he will issue them Gre
dentials in time to attend the confer
ence, to be held at Cincinnati May 18th
to the 23d.
Mayor Harrington also received yes
terday a letter from the National Mon
ument fund committee containing the
information already published in the
press dispatches with reference to Ad
miral Dewey having sent the commit
tee brass cannon captured at Core
gidor island in the battle of Manila, to
