NIGHT LUNCHEON.
ALL RIGHT IL OF THE RIGHT KIND Oh
FOOD.

The difference brought about by the use of we'll
selected food. as compared with ordinary food. is
we'll shown in the experience Of girl attending
high school and boarding herself
She says: My Housekeeping compelled early
rising. and l used to become very sleepy over my
books. To keep awake l resorted to the use of
strong coffee and in short time began to have
a dull stupid feeling. No appetite but feeling
OF goneness.' l realized that l must eat some
thing faint IN the class room. would wash
down q little breakfast with another cup of coffee
II began growing thin pale and nervous. and
made very unsatisfactory advancement in my
studies
lone day the good wife of one Of our professors
asked me II felt well. as appeared so weak and
nervous. Between my sobs ! managed to relate my
woes. She where the trouble lay, and advised
me to leave OF tea and coffee and take up Postum
Food Coffee and Grape-Nuts Food.
II followed her advice and found the Postum a
delicious beverage and the GrapeNuts just what I
wanted. So my breakfast consisted of a little
fruit a saucer OF Grape Nuts and cup Of Postum.
an ideal breakfast.
IF. at night. l felt the need of something to eat
before retiring ate a little Grape-Nuts.
MY head grew clearer my cheeks rosy and I
gained SO rapidly in health that all my acquant-
ances remarked upon It,"
There is reason, for both Postum and Grape
Nuts contain the elements from natures store
house that the body uses to rebuild the brain and
nerve centers throughout. These wonderful food
elements are presented In such fascinating form
that users stick to them after year. and very
greatly to their benefit. The name and address of
this young lady can be given by the Postum Cereal

ing Held Last Evening.

Proceedings of District Board Meet
ing Held Last Evening.
At last nights meeting Of the board Of
education, a communication was read from
Mr., ]. H. Bradford. chaplain Of Garfield
Post, g. A. R.. saying that he had been
detailed by Department Commander I. w.
Stone to have charge of Flag day" exer-
cises in the public schools. June a. and
requesting that members of the G. A. r.
be authorized to visit the various schools
on that occasion and participate in the ex-
ercises The matter was referred to Su-
perintendent Stuart. with discretionary
power to act as he deems best.
It was ordered that on Friday and Sat-
urday, May "a and Is. an examination be
held at the Franklin building for appli-
cants for teachers in the kindergarten
schools. The board Is having considerable
difficulty in securing a sufficient number Of
kindergarten teachers. The salary for
teachers is $3.50 a month and for assist
ants $50, and teachers are required to have
the equivalent Of a High School education.
The board accepted an invitation from
the Takoma Park Citizens Association to
attend a reception to be given on the
evening Of the 10Th instant in honor of the
opening of the new public school at Tako-
ma Park.

TRUCK HOUSE COMPLETED.
of the Company to Take
Place Monday.

The new truck house of the District fire
department on Whitney avenue between
18th and 14th streets has been completed in
all its details. and truck company F will
be installed there next Monday afternoon.
The program for the installation has not
been completed. 1t Is expected, however,
that representative of the Columbia
Heights Citizens Association, probably
Judge Charles F. Bundy, will make
short address of welcome to the members
Of the fire company, and 1t Is stated to be
the desire of the association that Com
missioner Macfarland under whose super
vision the fire department is placed, should
make the response. Mr.. Macfarland, to-
gether with Chief Engineer Dutton of the
fire department, Will be present. The GER
emoneS of installation will occur probably
about 80 o'clock, and the company will
go into active service at pm.
Truck house F is one of the finest build
ings belonging to the District fire depart
ment. 1T is modern in every detail of its
equipment, being fitted throughout with
electric lights and latter-day appliances.
The new company will be in charge of
Foreman C. f. Schrom who has been serv-
ing assistant foreman of engine COM
pany No. TO- The original appropriation
for truck house F was contained in the
District appropriation bill of 1900, and
amounted to $4,000 An additional appro-
priation of 5000 was secured in the ap-
preparation bill for 1901. The location of a
truck on Columbia Heights has been of
late years regarded as an absolute neces-
sity in view Of the large number of tall
apartment houses that have recently been
constructed In that vicinity. The location
Of the present building was decided upon
only after mature deliberaton.
Chemical Company, No. 3. In Tenley-
town, will also probably be placed in COM
mission next Monday. The ceremony win
probably be entirely informal, and may
take place in the morning. The new chem
ical company will be under Foreman
Thomas Inscoe, who some months ago was
transferred from engine company No to
chemical company No. at Brightwood, In
order that he might famiiarize himself
with the workings of the chemical engine.
