MEMORIAL DAY WEATHER.
Fluffy Garments and Neglge Attire
May Be Worn With Impunity.

Pleasant weather is in store for Memoir
ial day.
The official forecaster has given this as
surance. We are now just emerging from
the cold wave that made overcoats and
gloves necessary prerequisites for happi-
ness and pleasure. The weather began to
moderate this morning and the elements
are going to contribute to making tomor-
rows holiday a grand one. Women may
wear fluffy summer garments and men will
not be uncomfortable in neglige attire.
The lowest temperature in Washington
was Tuesday night. when the mercury went
down to 40 degrees. The lowest tempera ture
last night was 451 At 1:15 this afternoon
the official thermometer at the government
weather station recorded 65 degrees, which
was degrees higher than at the same
hour on yesterday.
There is no decided warm wave in sight
but the weather will moderate gradually
until we are again in the throes of sum-
mer heat The mercury will not go above
so tomorrow.
The weather man sees rain in the i'm
mediate future. 1t may visit Washington
tomorrow evening, fastened, no doubt, by
the amount Of gunpowder that will be
burned in the Memorial day celebrations
throughout the country.
But in any event, overcoats and wraps
will not be needed tomorrow.

JUMPED ABOUT
UNTIL HE FOUND THE RIGHT FoOD

What hades some people go through because
their food does not supply the right kind of nour.
ishment TO the body Take the following for ex-
ample:
A gentleman In Baltimore says: 'About two
years ago began to experience q peculiar denres
sion occasionally, with pains in the back mart Of
my head and down along the SPINE Gradually nv
eyesight began to fail and my memory grew moor.
A general nervousness set In. l used all the will
power l could command to help myself, but was
forced to give up good position and seek the ad-
vice Of the family doctor. He said neuras thenia
and sent me to a great nerve specialist. So for
four months was massaged and dosed with medi-
cines but all to no benefit. Then went to New
York and consulted DIR. -. He sent me to an
other great specialist and he in turn sent me To
- Sanitarium where stayed for a long time
at the old story. I was dosed with
medicine and massaged and bathed. Finally left
there and went to another specialist who told me
1 would only live few months This rather
frightened me, and / placed myself under DR..
-. He said the stomach was at fault and
probably l had not been given the right kind Of
food
He put on a certain line Of treatment and
insisted that I use three or four teaspoonfuls OF
Grade-Nuts each meal. l was under his care for
several months. 1 steadily improved until now
am fully restored to both mental and bodily vgor
He explained to me that Grape-Nuts contains
soodly portion Of phosphate Of potash a nerve
and brain food apd that the food being partially
dgested the system could make use Of ii easily
At any rate got WELL and both the doctor and
myself know that Grape-Nuts made 1t possible
Il sincerely believe that practically all Of our
nervous troubles are caused by imperfect nourisb
ment. 1t was fortunate for that could get
such food as Grape-Nuts. You can use this let.
ter, but don't publish my name, please" Name

OPENS JUNE l.
Anglers Preparing for Bass Fishing
The Prospects Good.

The summer season for catching black
bass will open June l. when hundreds of
anglers Will wet their lines for the first
time this year. AT most places where local
hsae-men enjoy the spor, the water is in
splendid condition. The cool weather is
calculated to make fishing much better
than 1t would otherwise have been
IL is the belief Of some anglers that the
abundance of seventeen-year locusts will
nave bad effect on the sport. Sportsmen
VINO were on the upper Potomac last week
state that thousands Of locusts were seen
to drop into the water. to become food for
bass. 1t is stated that bass fishing was
very poor during the last visit of the
locusts. Anglers who have used the in
sects for bait report splendid results.
