a holiday Tor all purposes was dis
cussed generally at the City Hall today.
The consensus Of opinion Of all those
who entered into the discussion is that

so long as the law stands as It is Satur-
day afternoon has been made a legal
haIf-holiday. Corporation Counsel Du-
vail today received a communication
from the Commissioners asking for MS
opinion On the subject. Mr Duvall,
however. win leave the city this after
non and will not return until Tuesday
next, and VIII not submit an opinion
until after his return 10 the city
It hes been suggested that if it is de-
termiaed that Saturday afternoon is a
legal holiday. ali Government and Dis
trict employees will be entitled to ex-
ira ray for the half holidays they were
compelled to work while the matter was
under consideration. As this pay will
amount to a great deal. it is expected
that IN the - st Of the half day be
ing decided = be legal holiday under
the code. tUJ lit.ie time Will be lost iE
so declaring L. Under these circum-
stances it is expected that the matter
will be given the earliest possible al
tention by the officials concerned
It has been limited that certain Gov
eTnment and District officials who are
directly interested in the matter have
already intimated that the amendment
10 the code is clear in this regard and
that II is at their instance that de-
cision IS being asked on the subject.

school teacher writes from Yer
mont She had been compelled to take
a little backwoods school for small
wages because she had not the strength
to conduct better school.
Small appetite and poor digestion
kept me weak. I had been compelled
to rest at the noon hour and shut my
self away from all company morning
and night In this way only could
/ work, up to about year ago, when
a lady visiting here from California
led me to share dish of Grape Nuts
with her. During the winter ate
occasionally of the food, always with
good results.
Last July 1t was necessary for me to
attend the summer school for teachers.
Being poor in purse and sick in body
I could not pay the expense of board
ing in a big place, so rented. a room
and boarded myself. Grape-Nuts and
cream tasted good and lived almost
exclusively on the food.
Gradually, to my surprise, toward the
close of the second week the sort of
mental haze that had been about me
for a long time broke away and |
grasped the thought presented with a
clearness I had not known for long
time.
I came back to my school with bet
ter health ana memory than have
known in 20 years, and now, while at
work, I repeat I have better nerve and
brain power and better digestion than
have had before In 20 years.
There is a reason for this. Grape
