AS bone OF contention between the

the slot machine was glittering sue
cess. In the meantime the aforesaid
slot machine continues to thrive ama5-
ingly, and In this connection 1t Is In
tercstng to note that some California
cites have licensed these machines.
notably In San Francisco. Stockton and
San Jose. and the city of Sacramento Is
about to follow the example set by the
others. 1t Is proposed to license the.
machines at the rate of $50 per annum.
Such license here In Wheeling would
raise revenue of $4,000 per ,annum

KNOWLEDGE OF FOOD.
Proper Selection of Great Importance
in Summer.

4AoPei oeleCtlou VI GIcaL Importance
in Summer.
The feeding Of infants In hot weather
Is q very serious proposition, rs all
mothers know. Food must be used
that will easily digest, or the undiGest-
ed parts will be thrown into the intes-
tines and cause sickness.
1t Is important to know that n food
can be obtained that Is always safe:
that Is Grape-Nuts.
A mother writes: my baby took the
first premium at baby show on the
Sth instant, and Is In every way prize
baby. l have fed him on Grape Nuts
since he was five months old. also
use your Postum Food Coffee for my
SELF" Mrs. L. L. Fishback, Alvin. Tex.
Grnpc-Nuts food is not made solely
for baby food by any means, but Is
manufactured for all human beings
who have triling. or serious. difficulties
In stomach and bowels.
One especial point OF value Is that the
food Is predigestcd In the process OF
manufacture. not by any drugs or
chemicals whatsoever. but simply by
the action OF heat, moisture and time,
which permits the dastasc to grow,
and change the starch Into grape sugar.
This presents food to the system ready
for immediate assimilation.
Its especial value rs u food, beyond
the fact that II Is easily digestcd, is that
1t supplies the needed elements to
quickly rebuild the cells In the brain
and nerve centers throughout the body.

s1R:-1t is getting to be quite com.

movement is now under way to organ

to Grow Flowers, of Springfield, o., Is
taking the initiative in the matter, anu
Is meeting with much encouragement.
Wheeling needs such an association
very much. There Is great field for
the wealthy and cultured to help their
city. There are very many ways In
which Wheeling could be improved very
much. She needs some parks very bad

from the Pan Handle depot to the Top
mill might be cleaned up and given
DECENT appearance. 1t is now a dis
grade to our city. Old paper, old rags,
tin cans, broken crockery, dead dogs
and cats, and all manner OF old stuff
line that bank now. It gives strangers

on the railway a very unfavorable opin-

And then Wheeling creek! Is there
no other place: In all this city to dump
dirt and trash: than on the banks of

seen by every passer-by? What an un-

railroad maintain an old, chastity pile

not show any taste for the beautiful or
the appropriate.
Wheeling should be cleaned up and

ugliest cities to be found. 1t could pe

one of the most beautiful. By dirtlest I I
do not mean that 1t is sanitarily the
filthiest, but I mean that 1t has more
old rubbish on its river and creek banks
and on Its hill sides, and In its alleys
than can be found in any city OF its size
that have ever been In. There does
not seem to be any effort made even by.
Its citizens and Its authorities to keep
the grass and weeds down on the walks !
and in its alleys and vacant spaces,
much less to take down the old lamp
posts and make phone companies paint
their poles.
There are lots Of wealthy and cul-y
tured people here who love Wheeling.
This Is their home. Why should they
not form themselves into society to
study the possibilities OF Wheeling,
from an artistic standpoint, and labor
to make them realities. A material
cleaning up and Identifying would also
have n corresponding effect upon the
morals Of the city. Filth and immor-s
ality, are boon companions.

Success of "The Merry Mnkmaids."

The Operetta, "The Merry Milk-maids,"
was given Friday and Saturday nights, and
was complete success in every way. The
audiences both nights numbered about 500.
The operetta is not of the light trashy order,
nor is it composed of few good solos, and
the rest cheap choruses aud fat jokes. The
music is Of a much higher grade than is us
ually attempted by chorus composed Who'll
~ of local talent as was this one.
The power of music depends upon its inter
probation, and the truth Of theinterpretation
upon the skill, ease and naturalness OF the in
terpreter. The playing and singing OF notes
is not always music, nor is the speaking OF
words the Interpretation OF thought.
johnson takes a iusti6able pride in her
large number of really good voices as well as
in the few who have voices of unusual swea =
ness and power. The chorus was very well
balanced in its different parts, and under the
management of leader, with the skill and
experience that Mrs. Ranger possesses to in
terpret and train the chorus was brought to
a high degree of perfection. From the Milk
maids greeting to the early morning, through
to the end of the last chorus there was not a
break, nor hitch of any kind, eli her in the
singing or the acting. So thorough had been
the training that there was no expectation
of any mistake
The solos were well chosen and were render
ed with correctness of technique, and a
beauty aud finish of expression that results
only from thorough training, but contrary
to the usual order the duets, trios, semi
choruses and full chorus9s were rendered with
fully as much skill as the solos. and elected
