Good Cheer and Good Food Go T oeether.

Good Cheer and Good Food Go T ogether.
 Improper feeding is the source of most human ails. Sick people don't laugh much. It is the healthy and strong who see the sunny side of everything 7 Pure;~ scientific food will correct most ailments and bring laughter and good cheer in place of sickness and gloom.
 The wife of a physician of Dayton, O., says: Before I had finished the first package of Grape-Nuts, which got at the urgent request of a friend of mine several months ago, I was astonished to find I was less nervous over small s matters and worried less over large ones, laughed more readily and was at aall times more calm and contented than I had ever been in my life. I found also that the hollow places in my neck and shoulders were filling out and that astonished me as I had always been very thin, as women with starved nerves are apt to be.
 After a time I discontinued the use of Grape-Nuts for two months and found the old symptoms return at once. I went back to the use of the food again and feel well and strong. I can increase my weight at will from five to ten pounds month by using more or less of the food. Before was married was for five years trained unrse and I have never in all my experience seen anything to act as quickly and favor ably as this scientific food" Name given by Postum Go, Battle Creek, Mich 4,s 1.>.

Lively Debate Over Vaccination Bill-- Other Business.
 Considerable discussion was caused in the house, this afternoon, when the committee on public health and safety reported unfavorably on 5 the bill amending section 2550 so that the board of education, schpol visitors, school committee, or health officers may adopt measures for general vaccination of the inhabitants of their respective towns to prevent the spread of smallpox. pro- viding that no person shall be vaccin- ated against his will or if a minor against the will of his parent or guar dian; also providing for the payment by the town of the expenses of vaccin- ation and repeating section 2551.
 Mir. Mattoon of Plymouth denounced the present law vigorously and said he considered vaccination a humbug. !.
 MT. Lanphere of Waterford also op- posed the report and moved that it be tabled. The motion was lost, 116 to 36. MT. Miles of New Britain said he was not prepared to discuss the bill at present, but he objected strongly to compulsory vaccination, and he moved that it be recommitted. .:

The Moto-Girl had another large au- dience admire her wonderful nerve last evening, and spoke oe her wonderful sclf-control and power of the optic nerve that is astounding. She bids fair to pack this theater every performance this week. Those who have discovered the secret are cautioned not to give 1t away.
 Charles Dickson has a good comedy sketch which he presents with a very capable company entitled "A Pressing Matter" MT. Dickson can create fun galore and does not have to be noisy or boisterous in order to do it. He has a refined and neat little comedietta, and it has tte audience in roars of laughter at each performance. Miss Nell McEwen is also receiving Altering att ttention for her good work as Lillian Van Craig, the only pupil of a much overworked acting teacher.
 The Orpheus four, a comedy bunch, gave an added vim and dash to the bill last evening. They are a lively quartet.
 Others making up good bill included Russell and Locke. who are probably the slickest pair of clog dancers seen here. They have a way of doing their dancing that cannot help but excite ad- rniration and they won their share of the applause. Ford and Dot West with a comedy talking sketch as the Maid ana the Waiter" are good: Lester and Curtin as a comedy sketch team in the acrobatic line; Harty B. Lester, with a god 1nonologue, the musical Craigs with a refined and artistic musical offering have a good speciality.
 The giants and the dwarfs have a very interesting journey in the moving pictures founded on the story of Dean Swift.

An American Hustler" which is at the Grand Opera house tomorrow, Fri day and Saturday nights, is comedy drama, clean and wholesome, in which strong heart story is cleverly combin- ed with vein of splendid comedy, and which does not contain a dull moment from the opening of the first act until the fall of the final curtain. AS Major Bob, the fighting editor of the Eagles Scream, of Paradise, Idaho, MT. Hall has fund a role that fits him like a glove He portrays the genial, rollick- ing but shrewd and far-seeing major in that forceful, magnetic way that is all his own. In fact, MT.

Here Major Bob becomes sus- picious of the actions of Francis Raw don, prosperous gambler, who, through the accidental discovery of a dangerous secret, gains hold on Meliar. an heiress, and the sweetheart of the majors friend, Steve Dallas, a strug- gling young miner. The major sells his interest III the tdSie 5 ScIediii anu 5oSS to Chicago, where he becomes part ner in prosperous law firm. Here also comes Steve Dallas, the ex-nliner, who has struck it riefl'' and is travel ing in search of his lost sweetheart. The major learns of her whereabouts and of the schemes of Rawdon to se- cure her fortune; and by his cleverness illustrates those schemes, restores Meliar to her lover, and incidentally discovers his own long-lost Priscilla, and all ends happily.
 Incidental to the performance several up-to-date speciaities are introduced, including MT. Halls famous limitations of prominent actors. There will be a special matinee Friday and the regular matinee Saturday.
