Gas Lights in Square To
Be Discontinued.
Many Citizens Urging That II
BE Done.

Since Old Home Week the members Of
the committee on lights have received
many requests from citizens that the lights
on the dome of City building which shone
SO brilliantly last week be allowed to
remain on the building and be lighted
every night. This suggestion is a very
popular one and the committee think
favorably OF adopting it They think
that this can be done by disseminating
the gas lights around the Soldiers mon
ument as the square with the eight arc
lights and the lights from the stores IN
that vicinity sufficiently illuminate that
section of the city. The expense that
has been made by having these gas lights
could be transferred to an appropriation
for lighting the dome of the City build
ing. 1t is suggested that the dome lights
should not be continued through the
night. but only until about II clock.
These lights on the dome can be seen
far out at sea and are very handsome
sight.
1t Is thought that It would not be neo-
essary to light the back side of the dome.
The lights that were in use OId Home
Week have been allowed to remain on
the building and could be used any time

BREAD DYSPEPSIA.
The Digesting Element Left our

Bread dyspepsia is common. It affects
the bowels because white bread is nearly
all starch, and starch is digested In the
intestines. not in the stomach proper.
Up under the she'll of the wheat berry,
Nature has provided curious deposit
which is turned into diastase when It Is
subjected TO the saliva and to the pan
creatio juices in the human intestines
This diastase is absolutely necessary to
digest starch and turn it into grape sugar
which Is the next form; but that part
OF the wheat berry makes dark flour, and
the modern miller cannot readily sell
dark -four, so natures valuable digestor
IS thrown out and the human system
must handle the starch as best 1t can,
without the help that Nature intended.
Small wonder that appendicitis perito-
nitis constipation. and all sorts of
trouble exist, when we go so contrary to
Natures law. The food experts that per
fected Grape-Nuts Food, knowing these
facts, made use. in their experiments,
OF the entire wheat and barley, including
all the parts, and subjected them to
moisture. and long continued warmth,
which allows time and the proper con-
ditions for developing the diastase, out
side Of the human body.
In this way the starchy part Is trans
formed into grape sugar in a perfectly
natural manner, without the use Of chem
ieals or any outside Ingredients. The
little sparkling crystals Of Crane sugar
can be seen on the pieces OF Grape Nuts.
This food therefore is naturally predigest-
ed and its use in place of bread will
quickly correct the troubles that have
been brought about by the too free use of
starch In the food, and that is very COM
mon in the human race today.
The effect of eating Grape-Nuts ten
days or two weeks, and the discontinue
anoe Of ordinary white bread, is very
marked. The user will ga11 rapidly

THE GEM.

The advent of new company at the
Gem theatre last evening was the occa-
sion of a large and fashionable audience
and the summer theatre-goers of the city
may count themselves fortunate indeed
in having with them for the last three
weeks OF the season such an aggregation
of dramatic talent as is in the fremont
Theatre Stock company. No better play
could have been selected than Bronson
Howard S society comedy, in four acts,
sAristocracy. whose story is familiar
to our theatre-goers and need not be
dilated on The settings were dainty
and appropriate and there was no lack OF
suitable stage properties. The individ-
ual and team work of the company is
deserving of the warmest words of COM
mendation aud the action throughout
was finished and artistic. There was q
wealth of beautiful costumes and such
creations and dreams in the form of
gowns which were worn by the ladies Of
the cast have rarely ii ever before been
seen on the stage of summer theatre.
The leading role of Jefferson Stockton
was taken by j. H Gilmour, who bowed
his acknowledgements of warm welcome
as he first appeared. He has a strong
face, q good we'll modulated voice, an
agreeable stage presence and gave us an
ideal impersonation. Sharing honors
with him was Florence Rockwell in the
role of Diana Stockton. Hers was a
most thoughtful, we might say inteilec-
tual conception of the part. The best
work of both was in that strong third
act when they are brought face to face
with the villain of the play, Prince Won
Haldenwald. enacted by William Hazel
tine. Here 1t was that Miss Rockwell
bowed her emotional power and brought
out the lights and shades of the charac
ter, as with a face like marble and with
beautifully real lines she thrust from
her the designing Prince and calls for
the protection Of her husband. The lat
ter soon appears and-in his arraignment
of the Prince, Mr.. Gilmour evidenced
his power and strength as an actor. In
this scene Mr.. Hazeltine showed that
