What Happened on Friday

A l~aughable farce comedy. written es
pecially to amuse and entertain the ladies
and children. was presented at q special
matinee performance Wednesday after
noon, and while the audience was not as
large as at: previous performances, the
reserved and other seats down stairs were
pretty well filled, and what was lacking
in numbers was more than made up in
enthusiasm, for it was q play that the
young people thoroughly enjoyed and at
the same time o genuine treat to the older
people.

1896. In nearly every state the Dem
ocratic mana gers seem to be impressed
with the possibility of electing a Dem
ocatic House next fall. and they are
nominating the men who will COM
mand the largest proportion of the
Democratic vote, and who also may
be reasonably expected to secure some
Republican support In the Middle
West and East the Democrats expect
to defeat several Republican Congress,
men.
In Ohio, 1t is expected at committee
headquarters, the Democrats have a
chance to capture two or three addi-
tional congressman, and they also
expect to elect one or two members in

A tragedy occurred on North Hill
the other night, in which mother
giving her life in a futile attempt
to save her little ones was the central
figure. That the mother was only a
little brown hen does not take from
the sublimity of the act or take from
the pathos of the scene. Only
few days before, after three long
tiresome weeks of brooding the moth

districts to the Democrats.
In New York the Democrats expect
to increase their present representation
by eIecting solid delegation from
Greater New York. while the posi-.

not deter him from keeping in close
touch with every state with view to
making his control of the convention
certain.

SUMMER ADVICE.
BY One Who Knows.

Keep cool in hot weather.
"How?"
BY eating Grape Nuts every day.
Rats
No, not rats, but good, sound fact
that thousands make daily use of.
Grape Nuts is digested food which
makes digestion easy.
1t gives the nourishment without the
internal heat caused by heavy carbon.
aceous foods.
You can feel from ten to twenty de-
gfees cooler than your neighbor when
you eat proper food that does not over
tax the stomach.
Grape-Nuts is made from certain
parts of the grain and by mechanical
process the starches are changed into
grape sugar in the same manner as the
stomach would do in the first act Of
| digestion.
The phosphates of the cereals are re-
tanned in Grape-Nuts and these and the
grape sugar supply the necessary nour-
ishment to body brain and nerve
centers
Grape-Nuts is concentrated food
giving strength, vitality and coolness
to the body and energy and clearness
to the brain, in place of the heavy.
sluggish, draggy feeling caused by
meat, potatoes, etc. (
Another point.
1t is thoroughly cooked at the
factory by food experts and saves vol,
the trouble.
You get 1t from the grocer and by
adding cream, it is ready to serve.
No hot stove, no cross cook, no loss
of time or exertion as with other food.
It's crisp taste with the delicate swee,
of the grape sugar makes II pleas sing
to the palate of the most critical
epicure. a.
The recipe book in each package of
Grape-Nuts gives many pleasing pud-
dings, salads, entrees and desserts that
can be made.
| Worth trial and package will
prove it.

mirrors-a decided advantage when
one hasn't maid to rely upon.
When treating the face the mirror
is also an excellent accessory. By at
taching it to the window sill or casing,
the best possible light is thrown on
the skin, so that blemishes and disfg-
uring marks are clearly shown up.
Altogether, this adjustable mirror
will be found decidedly useful among
my lady's up-to-date toilet articles.
Since curling irons were declared
harmful to the hair land nobody but
an experienced couture dares to manip-
ulate them, all manner of devices have
been invented for the purpose of i'm
parting a natural looking as we'll as
a lasting undula ton to ones locks.
While some of these arrangements
are really good, others are absolutely
worthless, and in the end do more
harm than singing irons.
A new shell hairpin which seems to
supply the much desired wave is rec
commended as being perfectly safe and
simple to manage.
Tortoise shell, of course, is far bet
ter than wires or irons, as it does not
break the hair, and this little affair is
made to hold the hair, which is loosely
woven around the shank, while q
small clasp holds it in place at the
top.
Another equally simple continuance
for producing soft waves in the hair
without heat or injury is made of
rubber, in colors to match the shade
of the hair. This resembles bodkin
more than anything else, for it is fat,
about a quarter of an inch at the
broadest part, and has small ring at
one end while tiny knob finishes the
other and through the center runs a
narrow slit.
The strand of hair is first drawn
through this opening, and with the I'M
even ends firmly held in place the hair
is loosely wound around the curler,
while rubber cord loops into the
ring and is pulled out and caught on
the opposite knob.
The soft rubber does not break the
hair, and it will be found that undula-
tions are secured in a much shorter
time with this curler than by means OF
ordinary methods.-Kansas City Star.
