Sensible Hint

IF you could hear all the experiences

you would put a warning in the largest

True you DO say "Grape-Nuts food Is
condensed: eat but three or four heaping
teaspoons at a meal" but the food
seemed to ill such q long felt want, and
every one found it 50 delicious, either
alone or in combination with some other
material. that. overlooking the small type

licious. there is a natural revUlsion. snd

NEED OF BUILDINGS
Real Estate Man Says He Is Pestered
Continually for Houses.

Wichita wants additional homes and
houses to rent. The top stories of bust
ness blocks are being utilized for resi-
dences and apartment houses. but these
are limited and demand for office room is
enhancing the rental prices. A number
of new residences are being erected this
winter around over the town, but num-
bers nowhere equal to the demand for
houses. A beautiful cottage, one of the
prettiest and most expensive ever erected
in the city, is nearing completion on the
corner of Murdoch avenue and Market
street, another on st. Francis, north, and
a large residence on Topeka avenue
north, all these being within a few
squares Of each other The demand IS for
houses with all the modern conveniences.
A prominent real estate dealer declared
the other evening that he was being pes
tered to death by applicants for homes,
he declaring in the same connection that
he could rent a hundred homes provided
with modern conveniences, within a
month. Wichita viii want that hundred
extra families when the Z. S. census
comes TO be taken next June

HE QUOTES BLACKSTONE
Another Man Gets in on the Century

To the Editor of the Eagle: I notice In

TO the communication of Teacher.
which 1 think was eminently clear and
correct so far as it went.
1t occurred to me, however, that 1t was
not so full or explicit as it might have
been as to the confusion arising from the
common mode of stating the age Of a
person referred to. which was evidently
the point upon which the writer sought
information.
I therefore desire TO present for your
consideration the decision Of that great
Jurist Blackstone" upon the point in
question:
Full age in male or female is q years.
which age is completed the day preceding
the anniversary of persons birth. who,
til that time IS an infant and 50 styled
in law"
Christians note on the above is as fol-
lows: If he is born on the 18th Of Feb
ruary. 1905, he is Of age 10 do any legal
act on the morning OF the 18th OF Feb
ruary. 1873. though he may not have lived
twenty-one years by nearly foru-eight
hours''
The reason assigned is, that in Law
there is no fraction Of day, and Il
birth were on the last second q one day,
and the art the first second OF the PEE
ceding day twenty-one years after. then
twenty-one years would be complete; and

MUDDIEST EVER KNOWN
How This Season Compares With
Past Winters

Never since the settlement of this coun-
try or the founding of the town have the
roads been so impossible or the streets
so horrible as for the past three weeks.
Instead of our usual mid-winter sunshine
and open days there have been rains,
fogs, clouds and unending slush. While
such conditions have been favorable to
the immense area of winter wheat which
never went into winter with more favor
able prospects, they have been provocative
of loweing looks and pointed explosives
upon the part of the average inhabitant.
But sunshine has succeeded at last for the
relief of trade and the encourageme of
the more optimistical.

ITS MOST BRILLIANT YEAR
Indications of the Wear 1900 for
Wichita

All the indications, along the lines of
every enterprise boosted by the city, and
of every branch of business, are that the
last year of the century will be the most
prosperous Of any which have gone to
make up Wichita's brief but brilliant
past. Only expressions of confidence are
heard, and these upon every hand,
whether from dealer, banker, manufac-
turer, property holder or Spectator. The
new enterprises to be launched, the i'm
provements to be made, and the en-
largements contemplated are numerous
and important. The best town in Kansas
today. measured by whatever standard,
or estimated from whatever direction, is
Wichita, the city which viii never fail
of her rlghtful pseudonym, the Peerless
Princess of the Plains.

WON'T RAISE PRICE
Light Committee of Council
Held Meeting Yesterday.
WILL LET CITY GO DARK
Rather Than Pay the Increase
Demanded.

About five weeks ago President Scott,
of the Wichita Gas, Electric Light and
Power company wrote a letter to Mayor
Ross touching a matter which he desired
should be brought before the city council
Mr. Scott called attention to the dilapi-
dated condition Of the electric light sys-
tenn here and indicated that the lights
could not be kept going in their present
condition. He said, too that at the rate
of $500 per month which the city was
paying for its lights the company could
not afford to put the old plant in repair;
that in fact they were even at that time
losing money in trying to keep it going.
He. asked for a contract from the city
stipulating that the company should be
paid seven dollars per month for light
ing and agreed upon receiving this con-
eession to repair the old plant and fur
nlsh the city lighting by the month until
such time as he should receive notice to
stop. 1t was also indicated that under
the circumstances he could not continue
to furnish light after the first of the
year. He did not like to repair the old
system with the prospects of the business
being turned over TO a new company
right away, and for this reason he
thought the city should bear the expense
Of repair.
Mr.. SCOTS letter was referred to the
lighting committee of the city council.
and they let the mater run salong. The
sentiment was against increasing the
price, to seven dollars per light, but no
action was taken. The lighting com
mittee had meeting yesterday. The
proposition being urged, and Mr. Scott
wanting an answer before the next meet
ing of the council, the matter was urged.
Yesterdays committee developed no in
dieations Of an intention on the part of
the committee to recommend that the
city should raise the price of its crippled
arch lights a dollar per month And now
1t seems that Wichita is in a fair way
to be without lights until the new COM
pany is ready to turn on the current
Tine committee have practically said that
they would let the city go dark so far as
street lights are concerned rather than
pay a dollar more for lights than the rate
that has already yielded thousands of
dollars in profits.

FITz PICKED Is WINNER
Australian the FavOFite in the Fight
With Sharkey Tonight.
Wise Ones Figure the Showing
Sailors hackers Confdent He
Is in Much Better Condition Than
When He Met the Akron Giant.

NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-Robert Fitzsim-
mons. who is attempting to fight his way
to the heavyweight championship, will
meet Thomas Sharkey in the ring of the
Seaside Athletic Club at Coney Island in
a twenty-five round glove contest tomor-
row night. Those who believe in figuring
out the winner of fight upon past per-
formances are convinced that Fitzsin-
mons, barring accidents, should win. Form
shows that Sharkey, beaten decisively by
Rubin in fifteen rounds, should prove in
ferior TO the Cornishman because of the
Iatter's knockout of the Akron Giant in
six rounds at Madison Square Garden two
weeks ago.
Those who had followed the sailor in
his more recent encounters were convinced
from his showing with Rubin that he was
his immediate supporters that he had not
trained properly and that because of over
work he was slightly stale.
Sharkey has been training diligently for
the past four weeks at Sheepshead Bay
His mentor. Tom O'Rourke, has superin-
tended the work and has taken special
care that the sailor did not overdo things
and go stale again. Sharkey has therefore
strengthened himself in point of physical
stamina and he is today as rugged as he
was when he made his grand fight against
Jeffries. He thinks that he will win for
the reason that he has improved greatly
in cleverness and ring tactics since the
time he met FitzsImmous in San Fran
cisco.
The whole situation may be sized up as
follows: FitzsimmOns is a quick thinker,
while Sharkey is not so generously gifted.
Fitzsimmons Will have an advantage in
height and reach. the latter by about five
inches, while Sharsey VIII have the call
in weight and age. The Cornlshman will
weight about 40 pounds, Sharkey about
1S5.
Both men will er,;er the ring at 10
o'clock. and Charles White will be the
referee. The fight VIII be for a SIS, 600
purse. which. it is said the men will cut
into equal parts. a custom which seems
TO be popular among the big fellows nova
