EATING IN HAVANA.
Yankees Club Together.

In Havana il is the custom 10 serve
only bread and coffee for breakfast. A
! little colony of Americans that felt they
could not do their work until noon on
| this kind Of diet dubbed together and
| began importing Grape Nuts Breakfast
| Food.
: One OF them writing about the mat
| ter, says, The modern cooking range
/ had never been known in Cuba until
the American occupation. and even now
they are scarce, 80 that a ready cooked
food like Grapc-Nuts recommends Itself
to start with: then the Yankees We're
accustomed to the food and felt they
could hardly get along without 1t. They
began buying in five ease lots and one
by one the larger grocery stores began
Ikeepiug Grape Nuts in stock so the bus
mess spread until now great quantities
OF Grape-Nuts arc used in Cuba. and 1t
is rot only used by the Americans but
the other inhabitants as we'll"
This is an illustration of the way the
famous food has pushed itself into all
parts of 5thc world. Wherever English
Speaking people go they demand Grape
Nuts Theycan be found in South Af
RIGA, Egypt. India. China. Japan, Aus
tralia ard Sout., America.
Many Americans speak of the home
like feeling it gives them TO see the
nun berless buses In the streets of
London decorated with great blue signs
with the word. "Grape-Nuts." done in
yellow letters. and all over England the
great purveying shops distribute Grape
Nuts.
English roast beef has largely given
way to American roast beef, and the
ole fashioned English breakfast of
bacon and potatoes is now supplement-
ed with Grape-Nuts and cream The
change vas made for reason. It has
been discovered that almost magical
power rests within the little granules.
and this power is set free in the body
that makes use of the famous food

the Matter.

situation over the public schools re
sul.ing from differences of opinion be-
tween the selectmen and the school
board over financia! matters. the Bee
says:
During the past week the town has
beer. utirred MP over the rumor that all
schools would close, tonight. This was
owing to the fact that Selectman Max
we'll had notified the school committee
and teachers that the school funds were
exhausted and after tonight they could
not look to the town for their pay. We
gre informed by Selectman Maxwell
that acting under the advice Of Her
bert NJ. Heath. ESD, of Augusta he
had done as stated above in the best
interests Of all concerned under the eX-
iy,iiig circumstances. We understand
that the selectmen have no authority L
interfere with the schools any more
than to pay out the bills properl,
vouched for by the superintendent Ol
school committee. The school board in
vcstigated the matter and have decided
20 finish the term, thus leaving 1t in thu
hands of the voters at the next towI
meeting in March, which the following
letter from Hon. Herbert NJ. Heath ex
plains:
Augusta, Me. Jan. 81. 1902
Noble Maxwell, Esq. Richmond, Me-:
l gave your school committee, las
night, the following opinion:
Having advised the selectmen thai
they have 10 authority to approve
school bills after the appropriation j:
exhausted. and to notify the teachers
that there are no funds available fol
their pay. l would advise You 10 meet
the responsibility by adopting one OF
the following plans:
'.i--Call a special town meeting anu
raise the necessary funds, or
TO see that the town at its annua
meeting carefully states in it's vote thai
the money raised for the support OF
schools shall be for the support Of
schools from Feb. /, 1902. to Feb. /, 1903
and to provide by proper vote that tbs
financial school year shall run from
Fe bruary to February.
by the latter course you can avoid
sCspcnding or closing your schools and
further avoid the raising of any legal
question that might arise if you under
took to raise in one year money for Il
months"
Under this plan your financial report
of the town would show no debt or de-
ticinncy from February to the March
meeting. 1t would also avoid increas-
ing YOUR apprOpriatjou or tax rate II
also takes away the responsibility from
the selectmen and leaves it to the school
committee. 1t seems to me that this
would Obviatc all source of friction be-
tween you and the committee and avoid
the thing that you fear most. and that
would be an increase of taxation.
Very truly yours.

57TH CONGRESS-.
Outline for Weeks Work in
Senate and House.
Former Will Attend to Philippine
Tariff and Judges Salaries.
Latter Will Consider OIeo and War
Taxes Repeal.

Washington. Feb For the most
part the Senate viii divide its time this
week between the Philippine tariff bill
and the bill increasing the salaries of
members of the federal judiciary. The
salary bill is in charge OF Senator Hoar
and will be considered in the norning
hour each day until it is disposed Of.
while the Philippine bill. which is in
the hands of Senator Lodge, will con-
tinue to have right Of way as the I'M
finished business after o'clock of each
day.
The salary bill viii be the subject on
ly Of running debate but a number Of
set speeches will be made on the other
measure. Among the senators who will
be heard during the week are Messrs.
Teller, Turner. Carmack and Culber-
son.
II is not probable that the debate on
the Filipino bill will be concluded dur
ing the week. The friends Of the judi
cial salary bill hope to conclude its
considera ton at a comparatively early
day. 1t is said that Senator Stewards
address increasing the salaries OF sena-
tors and members OF Congress will be
unceremoniously voted down.
Senator Hale from the committee on
appropriation will, Monday, report the
urgent deficiency appropriation bill and
ask to have II considered on the follow
ing day. The amendments In this bill
providing for the entertainment of
Prince Henry and The expenses Of this
country incident to the corona ton may
lead TO some discussion but no doubt Is
entertained of the final favorable dis
position of those items.
This promises to be an interesting
week in the House. The oleOmargarine
bill has been special continuing order
for tomorrow and after il is disposed
Of, which probably will be on Tuesday,
the bill for the repeal of the war reve-
nua taxes will follow.
While both sides are unanimous in
favor of the repeal of these taxes it is
the intention of the Democrats to open
up the whole tariff question during the
debate on this bill ard they will make
a strong fight for ample time for dis
cussion. The question OF Cuban
reciprocity Is also likely to be debated
at length, as members on both sides of
the House are anxious to define their
positions.
The friends OF the oleomargarine bill
have no doubt Of its passage. They re-
gard the vote on the adoption of the
special order last Friday as practically
4 test vote. The bin is practicany the
old Grout bill. imposing n tax of 10
cents a pound on products colored in
imitation of butter and TO make retail
dealers who color oleomargarine sub
