FINEST HAT IN CONGRESS
Said to Be Worn by Mr.. Storm of New
York

"A paragraph in The Star about Senator
Frye's fine Panama hat few DAYS ago
made that hat famous" said a member of
Congress from New York, but I don't be-
lieve Senator Frye's Panama is the finest
worn In Congress. There is one other ma n
who has finer hat. That man is Repre-
sentative Storm of the Oyster Bay district
of New York Mr.. Storms Panama is
said to be worth close to $500. He won't
tell the price of 1t himself. because he says
1t Is foolish for a man to spend so much
money on hat. 1t is beautifully woven
piece of straw and 1t is wonderful how the
work could have been done by hand
"The fact is that there are some expen-
sive straw hats being worn by men In
Washington this year, and 1 am beginning
to wonder what the women are going to
say about 1t. Up to few years ago the
women had a monopoly on high-price hats,
and the poor men fumed and swore over
having to put up $15 or $40 for creation of
the female sort Now the men don't hest
tate to pay more than that for their own
hats and are even going up to $1OO and
$500 each for what they wear About the
time the wives begin to ask for this much
money for a hat there will be a hot time
in the old town and 1t Is probable that ex-
pensive hats for men will not be In much
demand after that"

Grand Opera House.

At the Grand opera house the Bennett and Moulton company will by specia request repeat at the matinee to-day
 '"The Queen of Chinatown" In the ev
 ening ''The Professors Troubles will be
 given. Saturday matinee Orphans of New York" Saturday night "Out in the Streets"
 "The Man Who Dared" is the original
 and startling title of the play which is
 to come to the Grand opera house the first three days next week. It is de-
 scribed as a Partisan spectacular melo-
 drama in five acts, and has been ire
 quently spoken of as the greatest play since "The Count of Monte Cristo." Howard Hall, the well known romantic actor, is the star of ''The Man Who Dared. The scenic accessories are up on a grand scole, and include stage pie lures depicting the Hanging Gardens in Marseilles, France; The Hotel Palais, Paris; the great Monte Carlo gambling palaces at Monaco-also showing the geological gardens with den of three real wild African lions MT. Hal is ac- companied by Miss Lorena Atwood, an emotional actress of great power, and one of the most beautiful women to be seen upon the American stage Others of the company include William Wall colt, Charles Mailes, John Martin, Miss Alice Taylor, Miss Verne Castro, and others Matinee Wednesday.
 More than ordinary interest will be manifested by the theatergoers of this city when they learn that as an extra feature and drawing card to "The Road to Ruin company, which is at the Grand the last three days next week, the management has through large ex- pense involved secured the services of the world-famous pugilist Terry Me- Govern. MT McGovern, who is known as the bantam feather and lightweight champion of the world who will appear at every performance. It is therefore plainly evident that the many contem- plating seeing "The Road to Ruin" will get double their moneys worth inas- much as they will see an attraction that is in itself worth several times over the admission to the performance alone Matinee Saturday.

COULDN'T DO TT.
Milk Diet Failed.

Food that will actually lift one out of sick bed is worth knowing of. A Chi cago lady writes, "I want to tell of a positive cure Grape-Nuts Food has made in a case that was considered almost hopeless.
 I know you do not look upon Grape Nuts as medicine but, inasmuch as the food certainly does build up worn out systems, it seems to me it is closely allied to tonic Now about the cure.
 Last Spring a dear girl friend fell ill and was taken to one of the hospitals, but weeks before entering the hospital she had been able to take nothing but milk to nourish her, all other foods dis tressed the stomach so much that she tried to live on the milk alone.
 The doctor in the hospital endeavored to keep her alive with broth and other food, but her stomach refused to retain anything but milk, and very little of that at time.
 I worked away at the resident phy- sician until he consented to my taking her home to see what the change would do for her. The poor child was so very weak and nervous and so frail that I felt quite dubious about the outcome, nevertheless I knew enough about Grape Nuts Food. which I intended to give her. to feel that it would bring her out After she had rested little while I warmed some milk and poured it over a tablespoonful of Grape Nuts and per suaded her to take it. She did so with fear and trembling, for she did not ex- pect to keep the food down. After giving her the food I started to read her story, and although it was an in teresting one, she fell asleep. When she finally awoke her first words were Did I really keep the Grape-Nuts?
 She had kept them but could scarcely believe it. After two or three hours I gave her little more with the same good result. Gradually and cautiously increa sed the amount until after few days she was able to eat saucer full with no bad effects.
 She lived on Grape-Nuts entirely and gained strength so rapidly that she soon recovered, and now recommends Grape Nuts to all her friends She says she would be glad to have anyone who is suffering from stomach trouble write her and she will tell what Grape-Nuts Food has done for her, and how grateful she is to the man who had the fore thought to manufacture food already digested so that weak stomachs can take it. Her name is Lilie M, Gestabt 4416 Wabash Ave, Chicago. A clergyman of our acquaintance eats a dish of Grape Nuts before preparing his sermon. l asked him once if he got l inspira ton from the food. He said, Not only that, but it seems to clear my mind and make my 'thirdlys and 'fourthlys' come much more quickly. | Just think about ones stomach not | having to think about dfgesting Grape ] Nuts at all, they have done the digest | ing themselves, and all we have to do 1 is to tickle the palate by swallowing | them This same gentleman assured 1 me that he would rather dispense with | any article of food on the table than , Grape-Nuts.
 We eat the food regularly with some times a little fresh or canned fruit | added. We call it our tonic, My hus- ! band joins in thanking you heartily for its manufacture. Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich.

Two Yale Athletes Will Get a Tine

TWO Yale Athletes Will Get a Line on the Light Blue To-Night
 Captain Albin and R. H. Hinton. of the Yale gymnastic team, will witness the exhibition of the Columbia team at the Columbia gymnasium this evening. Last year Yale was defeated by tho New York men through the queer de- clslons of the judges 1t is alleged, and as the two teams meet in the Yale gymnasium next Friday night there is considerable interest shown by the Yale people. At the intercollegiate games last year, however, Yale easily outdid columbia, but did not win the meet. The meet here next Friday will be an exceptionally fine one, as the teams of both Yale and Columbia are said to be above the average this year.
 The remainder of the Yale gymnasi- um team, consisting of De Sola, Mix. Waring, Warner. Larnphreok and Koe- gel. will leave New Haven tomorrow morning and will meet Albin and Hfn- ton in New York. From New YorA they will go to Princeton, where the annual dual meet of the two universi- ties will take place in the evening.
