Popular music was abundant. The con-

KEEN COLLEGE MEN,
The Food OF Harvard Brain Workers
and Athletes.

Memorial Hall at Harvard where some
twelve hundred of the men eat, is par
ticularly interesting. The dining room
is an enormous gothic hall finished in
old English oak with wide, stained glass
windows on the sides. The walls are
hung with portraits of illustrious gradu-
ates and benefactors of past genera
lions.
The students have good food to eat
and plenty of it. The hall is run on a
cooperative plan SO that it costs some
thing less than four dollars a week for
board. To this place three times day
come men, whose lives for the time be-
ing are given to serious intellectual
work, and to accomplish this, they are
keen enough to realize that proper food
is absolutely necessary.
One is particularly struck by the yell
low packages of Grape-Nuts standing
on nearly every table, which the men
for their personal use. They quickly
find out by practical demonstration that
brain work exhausts the phosphateS,
and that nature demands that this loss
be made up, and made up from food.
Grape-Nuts is ready to be used with
out cooking, it is a scientific food which
nourishes and builds up the brain, and
is particularly suited to the needs of
students
The Varsity athletes also eat it to
keep their digestive organs in perfect
working order 50 that they can stand
the great strain OF both body and head
work when important contests shall
come.

All Insular Appointments to Be
Under Civil Service Rules.

Washington, Nov 14--President
Roosevelt today announced that in
making civil appointments in the insu-
lar possession of the United States, he
would adhere to the principles of the
civil service. He declared this policy
to Clinton Rodgers Woodruff of Phila-
delphia of the National Civil Service
Reform league. Mr.. Woodruff is chair
man of the committee on dependencies
and called to ascertain what the presi-
dents policy would be. President
Roosevelt told him in the most emphat-
ic manner that absolutely no appoint
ments in the insular possession would
be dictated or controlled by political
consideration.

why Warren Gill, the captain of the

Some think it was because he wanted
