BAD HABITS.
Improper Food Often Leads to To-
baccO and Drink. .

Improper food creates abnormal tastes
and there are many cases on the medical
records where the liquor habit and to-
bacco habit have been caused by wrong
food and have easily been cured by the
use of the scientific food Grape-Nuts,
which SO thoroughly nourishes and re-
builds the nerves that they stop the cry
for stimulants.
A business man says: For thirty years
l smoked on an average ten or fifteen
cigars day. and then my nervous sys-
tenn collapsed, and had about made up
my mind that it was all up with me, ter
I had tried many times to break Off from
the tobacco. but 1t always failed.
Last May l was so run down / only
weighed Ill pounds, and realized that l
must stop smoking and stuck to 1t about
ten days. but was so nervous and out Of
sorts my family told me | had better go
back to smoking. as it was impossible to
live with me. 1t was just about this time
my wife brought a package of Grape-Nuts
on the table one morning, and, as I could
eat nothing else, she induced me to try d
little of that. So took teaspoonful Of
1t and, strange. to say, it tasted good, and
by the time / had 1t down knew 1t had
gone to the right spot. so took some
more, and it was the first food l had rel
ished for weeks.
$50 l kept up. the use. of Grape-Nuts
and as my appetite came back added other
foods, and 1 am now back to my old
weight of 1873 pounds, never felt better in
my life. and. strange. as It may seem,
and / thoroughly believe that only the
courage and ambition got out of the food
Grape-Nuts has given me the strength to
quit smoking. II every one knew the power

RECEIVER NAMED
BY FEDERAL COURT
ID. Crawford and Company Ex-
peot Embarrassment to Be
Only Temporary.

Following an assignment made in Phil
adelphia Friday by D. Crawford, an In
voluntary petition in bankruptcy was
filed yesterday against the firm of D.
Crawford & Co.
The petition was granted by Judge FL
mer B. Adams of the United States Dis
trict Court. and Hugh McKittrick was
appointed temporary receiver.
The selection was in accordance with a
request in the petition, and Mr.. McKit-
trick at once furnished bond for s25.VoO.
The business of the store was not IN
terrupted by the proceeding, which. it is
believed will mean only temporary en-
oarrassment to the firm. 1t is thought
that within thirty days the Indebtedness
can be settled and the receiver discharged.

In the petition it Is alleged that D. Craw-

Hugh McKittrick. and that also on the
same day he admitted in writing the in
ability of himself and other members of
the firm to pay their debts

Creditors Of the firm are mostly in the

members of the firm are not acquainted
with the details of the affair.
w. b. Homer, attorney for d. CrawfeQ

of D. Crawford G Co. Is insolvent
only in technical way. To <ny knowl-y
edge its liabilities do not exceed its assets
as has been stated I am almost sure that
its assets exceed the liabilities.
These demands Of creditors came at an
inopporture time. If they had come at
another time there would have been no
trouble. The firm has its backing In the
East. How this certain bank came to
refuse notes which were for compara-

Crawford Is still in the East and I have
not learned the details.
"The business will be conducted as be-

be settled in the course of thirty days. or

The firm has stood high in the business
world. and d. Crawford, It's head. is held
in high regard in commercial and social

Grand Onerm IInmse

1 The immense audience which filled the Grand Opera house to it's capacity last night was substantial and positive evidence that the stirring military drama Across the Pacific is still on the top wave of popular 1 ity. It has held this proud position from | the time of it's first presentation, and New Haven theatergoer realized and .appreciat- ed it's worth on the occasion of the first visit and they have been exceptionally gen. erous in their patronage during return en- ! agreements.
 The performance last night was fully as satisfactory, thoroughly entertaining and in structive as any previous one. A recount 1 ing of the plot is unnecessary. The com pany is headed by the inimtable Harry Clay Blaney who is Willie Live, q newspaper correspondent keeps all in happy mood. At times the audience grows wildly enthusI- astic by his clever work. There are sixty people in the cast, and they are all very good.
 | The scenes depicted are in the far west, in California and the Philippine Islands. Much careful attention has been given to the per I lection of details in the stage settings and l scenic effects, and this enhances the inter- est in and enjoyment of the piece. Numer- ous specialties. new and original, are intro duced and these offset the sterner and more | realistic side of the story.
 Across the Pacific will be repeated to- night and tomorrow night and at the mati- nee tomorrow.
 Rays Hot Old Time" that favorte pro- duction which is at the Grand Opera house ! next Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, with matinee Saturday, in its present guise Is designed to bring peace and good will to | men and to wake up kindlier feelings every | where. There are Mario and Durham, who ! are kings in their line; the fine quintette of ! mixed voices, with songs that, touch the ! hearts of the people and find echoes at the
 family fireside, and pretty girls who lend beauty to the stage pictures. The cast, with l William Sellery. Eddie Weston, Nellie Nich- ols, Maude sohlke, Ada Henry, Edward Col ! Uns, the Yaltos, the famous Mario and Dun l ham trio of horizontal bar gymnasts, and others, is able to make things warm and l lively for the spectators who come to forget ! the cold world without beneath the rays of "A Hot Old Time within the theater.
