MACHINE TYPE Settlers
Said to Be Hard on Operators.

The work of a typesetter in a. modern
printing Office is very exacting. particu-
larly if he runs a linotype or typesetting
machine. 1t requires the closest atten-
ton and rapid and sympathetic action
of both brain and hand. This machine
works much like a typewriter Such
workers fed on ordinary food give up
because of nervous prostration, some in
short time. and some are able to
stand it longer.
One of these workers says: II have
been at the linotype three years. It has
made a. great change in my once ro-
bust health. About three months ago,
after long expecting it, I completely col

nervousness. The daily phySic I had
not dared to omit for years, now and

I could not well change my occupation,
but did change the diet
Since then have used Grape-Nuts,
both at breakfast and at supper, daily.
The results are truly reInarla bic. The

since have had to swallow an aperient

experiment with Grape-Nuts I weighed
124 pounds; last evening I tipped the
beam at 1878.
My nerves, which were completely
shattered three months ago are now
strong and steady, and I do not tire
easily, though I go to bed an hour later

which all ministers must now subscribe
to before they can become members Of

semi-annual meeting OF the assocfa tiOn
in the Levitt Street Congregational
church.
The admission of Artemas ]. Haynes
who asked that he be allowed to sign the

the question. The ministers decided to

interest Other ministers are seeking ad-
mission to the association who object to
the creed. The revision Of the constitu-
tiOn was referred to a committee Of seven
This committee will frame amendments to

COMING DRAMATIC EVENT s

That combination of fun, music, nirth
melody and comedy embodied into
Hoyt's "a Black Sheep" with cast of
comedians headed by that persOnifica-
tion of laugh and grow fat" humor,
big BilI'' Devere, will be at the Craw-
ford Thursday night.
''Finnegans Ball." for Tuesday night,
has Cancelled.
Knox Wilson, the Doodles of ''The
Burgomaster," announced for Craw
fords Friday night, had a habit in his
younger days of sitting at an open win
dow, when learning TO play his twelve
pound concertfna and thirty pound sax
aphone. The first indication he had of
the neighbOrs' interest in his perform
ance came in the form of a dead cat, an
act which deeply ruff1ed his artistic
musical temperament, which required
dow and a long outburSt of anger to
the unseen but unappreciatfve audience,
which possibly accounts for his unusual
stage fright on the first performance of
1.-THE Burgomaster'' in Chicago. The
song he renders in the first act he would
have wagered his life he could repeat
backwards. The music started and the
first verse caught the house by storm;
the enthusiastic audience demanded an
encore; the music started for the second
verse. The expression of WearinesS and
horror that bespoke the orchestra'S feel
ings can't be described. Finally he tried
to sing, but his voice gave out alto
gether. In his excitement he uncOn-
sciously pantomimed, trying to follow
the time of the music, until he got to the
last line, when the words and music re-
turned together. The audience applaud
ed and app1auded thinking it a clever
trick; even Stage Manager Tom Ricketts,
was surprised and remarked: 'I didn't
think you were going to do that"
Neither did T. gasped Mr. Wilson.

Built in America
New York, Nov. 6.-Russia Is to place
orders with American ship builders for
five new battleships during the next
year. Secrecy seems to be the order
with those in a position to give in for

builders comes from an authentic source

Contracts for five battleships will in

that Russia contemplates placing these

Topeka Gets It's First Glimpse of
'SThe Female Drummer"

''The Female Drummer"
"A Female Drummer written on an
up-to-date subject. the author claims is

numbers to relieve the monotony of the

no further apologies.
That is the announcement at the top
of the programme. 1t must be true
There is not plot enough for a society
scandal in the piece, but the three acts
come in their turn just as the acts in a
tragedy. A devOtee of Richard Mans
field might go to see the drummer and
VOW not to laugh, but would be sure to
smile at least. Itwould be impossible not

more satisfactory if the pruning knife

The British Not to Confer Full Hon

New York, Nov 6-It is learned on the
best possible authority by the London
correspondent of the Tribune that Mr..
Wyndham will be chief secretary for
Ireland but will not have cabinet rank.
His friends have counted upon his ad-

but they are doomed to disappointment.
Lord Cadogan will not resign the vice

Irish blood and, what is better knowl-
edge of and sympathy with Ireland.
Some of Mr.. Wyndham's shreWdest
friends are inclined to congratulate him
upon escaping from the war Office dur
ing the next five years. They do not be-
lieve that the present government will
be thoroughly iri earnest in reforming
the military system and are convinced
in advance that half measures will be
sternly disapproved by the country.
