Miss Ella McCleary, as Chairman of
the Committee on Special Attractions,
has been working very hard. She says
that every one will get plenty of amuse-
ment for the small amount charged.
| The freak show is said to be one of the
funniest things on record. Some well
known ladies and gentlemen have kind
| ly consented to take charge of the black
| art feature.
| The committee are working hard to
make the baby show a grand success,
and they ask that those who have not
sent in their baby's names will do so
as soon as possible. There are several
twins already entered, but more are de-
sired.
There will be donkeys for the chill
dren to ride, and those who will lend
baby buggies for that day should re-
port to Mrs. A. G. Kaufman, on Eighth,
between 1 and J streets.
1t was decided at the last meeting
that no body of Native Son or Native
Daughters, as a parlor, shall compete
for a prize Individual members, of
course, have the same rights as any one
else.
Miss BERTHE Groth, as Chairman of
the Committee on Decorations for the
parade, is very anxious that all the
white flowers possible should be sent
in to decorate the Queens carriage.
The contract for decorating the carri-
age has been let to a local decora tor,
and it is claimed that it will be the
finest Queens carriage ever seen in this
State All who have flowers of any de-
scription to donate are asked to please
take them before noon to-day to Will

MAKING BRAINS
IS NOW AN ACCOM-
PLISHED FACT.
AN ART OF THE FOOD MAKER.
New and Sturdy Brains to
Order.
AN ART OF THE FOOD MAKER.

There certainly is money to be made
and every day in good-sized quantities
in this busy world.
But the opportunities are seen and
the work done by men with good brains.
1t is brains and not SO much muscle
that gets a man to the front. Now,
then, for a conclusion:
You use your thinking machinery
every day and break down" slight
portions of it. CA thoroughly natural
process.)
We know from analysis just what it
IS that leaves the brain under press of
work, and that little element should
be replaced each day from food Often
the food does not supply it as rapidly
as the daily work uses it Then we
have brain fag, nervous prostration,
etc. Would you goad the tired and
underfed OK with a stimulant to force
1t to desperate and unnatural exertion
to be followed by total collapse?
Call in your common sense. When
you find this condition exists select a
food heavy in Natures Phosphate of
Potash and Albumen, that combine to
make and rebuild the gray matter of
the brain. These are not drugs but
the delicate preparations nature stores
in parts of her cereals and intends for
mans use.
A food expert has dug out these facts,
ana when one uses Grape Nuts, the
most skillfully made food now in ex-
istence, he or she takes advantage of
the knowledge. and certainly can and
does rebuild brain in a manner that is
unmistakable and most satisfactory.
If you have use for active planning
and successful money making brains,
build them and nourish them with the
delicious food Grape-Nuts.

Whalen muffed, brought in two Beach

knocked the ball to right, and caused
two more men to reach home. In the

Among the Spectators.
eff the French are going to take NJ
bull-fighting as one of their regular
amusements," says New Yorker who
has seen a good deal of the peninsular
sport in its native home, "they will
have to get themselves accustomed to
seeing a bull break loose, clear the
barrier, and make himself gay among
them. To judge by the talk there has
been in some of the papers about what
happened at Deuil last Sunday, one
would think that such a thing was
quite a rare accident in the history OF
the bull ring, but in the course OF
single season that l was at Lisbon
must have seen it happen at least hall
dozen times-that is, more than once
Tor every Sunday l went to bull
fight. What is rare is for bull to get
clear away from the building and go
careering about the streets OF the
neighborhood. That is prevented Ell
fectually by the way a bull ring is
built. To get to or from your place
you have to go up or down flights OF
steps, and rather narrow ones at that,
and a bull, however active he may be,
Is not good at flights Of steps. The
bulls l saw in the Lisbon ring were
active, being wiry, thin-fanked, deep
chested brutes, that thought nothing OF
leaping over the barrier into the mar
row space between that and the high
stone parapet in front Of the specta-
tors seats. Sometimes, when Dull
had made this jump in pursuit OF a
fleeing 'capinha' and couldn't find his
man in the passage, he would hall
lump, half climb over the parapet.
When he got up there he would -four
lsh his horns about, but could do no
damage to any one who had the sense
to get up and move out of his way.
You see, the benches around the ring
are set on sloping base of cement,
and that makes it impossible for
beast with hoofs to move about; be-
sides, the benches always impede him.
You never hear women screaming on
those occaeions-all the women are up
In the boxes, and they know, besides,
that there isn't any danger; the bull
always gets pushed back somehow.
One day l saw little cigar store clerk,
when a bull landed close to him,
roolly get between the animals horns
and cover up his eyes until the attend
ants came and dragged him off. II
that bull had been on level ground 1t
would have taken a thorough profess
sional to go as near him as that, and
It would have been at the risk OF the
mans life."-New York Tribune.
