BRAIN.FooD NONSENSE

Another ridiculous food fad has
been branded by the most compe-
tent authorities. They have dis
pelled the silly notion that one kind
of food is needed for BRAIN, another
for muscles, and still another for
bones. A correct diet will not not
nourish a particular part Of the body
but II will sustain every other part.
Yet, however good your food may
be its nutriment Is destroyed by In
digestion or dyspepsia. You must
nrepare for their appearance or pre-
rrent their coming by taking regular
.oses OF Green's August Flower. the
y. vorite medicine OF the healthy

Annapolis, Feb. 28.-The special train
bearing Prince Henry OF Prussia and
party from Washington arrived here 10
driving rain at 1876 this morning.

dent of the Academy, was at the station
to greet the royal visitor. Cannon boom
ed an sdmiral's salute OF 81 guns es the
train stopped and q detachment OF

envy. Those who accompanied the
Prince and his suite to Annapolis were:
The German Ambassador and officials
of the Embassy, Secretary of the Navy
Long. Senator Hale, and Representa-
tive Foss, chsirmen of the Congress-
ional Naval Commit zee; Assistant Sec

The first feature on the programme
was parade In Jle presence OF Tue
Prince by the cadets. The light avn
ing erected at one side OF the parade
ground afforded no protection from the
rain. The cadets marched and counter
marched through mud over their shoe
tops, but conducted their msn@avres
splendidly. The band also marched
sround in the mud playing the national
airs OF America and Germany. Prince
Henry was greatly pleased with the ap-
pearance of the lads and their behavior.
"They are splendid fellows" he said,
this sort OF thing will fit them for
Sailors" After the parade the Prince
and his party inspected the build
inRs, then took lunch at Commander

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.

The constitutional convention, just
previous to the morning recess yester-
day, passed resolution, offered by DIR.
Dunuaway, providing for q vets by the
people on prohibition in 1905. 1t was
carried by vote OF 80 to 81. The an
pouncemept caused intense excitement
and confusion, The convention adj
iourned 10 hubbub pending o motion
to reconsider. The measure was re-
considered and defeated in the after
noon by vote OF 80 TO Is.
After much discussion, Judge Quarles
offered solution, and the section was
adopted as agreed upon in committee
OF the whole. 1t gives the general as
sembly full power in enactng local
option and dispensary laws controlling,
regulating, or prohibiting the manu-.
facture or sale OF intoxicating liquors.
There was q long squabble over the
question OF calling future conventions,
and section 2. stricken out in committee
of the whole, was reinserted. It pro-
ydes that future conventions shall bs
called by vote OF the electors OF the
State, and the legislature shall provide
the method OF electing delegates there
to.
The bill OF rights as whole was
adopted and referred to the committee
on final revision.
Attorney General Anderson presented
a statement showing ne date OF expira-
ton OF the terms OF all officers.
Major Anderson introduced reso-
luton to elect the Stats treasurer by
the General Assembly, and asked that
it be referred to the committee on Ex-
ecuiive Department which was done.
Judge Portlock gave notice OF reso-
luton TO repeal the action taken 10 de-
Gliding that the secretary of the Com
monwealth should be elected by the
people.
All OF the reports except suffrage
have now been finished in the commit
tee of the whole, and all gone to the
committee on final provision except
those on corporations, taxation, cities
and towns and bill OF rights.
These reports having passed in COM
mittee OF the whole, they will take but
little time In the convention. and 1t is
likely that Saturday night will find the
decks cleared, with only the suffrage
question to occupy the attention Of the
convention.
Beginning early next week, the sui
frage question will be considered In con-
ference until some conclusion Is reach
ed, when 1t will be taken uD in con.
vsntion and passed. Then will follow
the final discussion on the matter OF
submitting or proolaiming the consti.
tuition.
The opinion seems now to prevail!
that the new constitution will be sub
mitted TO an abridged electorate, and
toe date for adjournment is regarded
by many members as being about
March IS.
