Washington, July e0.-Authorities Of
the treasury department have repeatedly

useless and extravagant maintenance Of

DOCTOR LEARNED
The Power of Pure Food i.

Sometimes a physician who has ex-
hausted medical skill on his own case
finds that he has to look to pure food
to cure him by it's simple and homely
yet natural and scientific principles.
A well known physician and surgeon
of Crowley, La, has spent great many
wears in this profession. 1.-THE services
of my lifetime he says, have been
to try to better mankind; to help them
preserve health when in possession of
It and to help them to regain it when
lost. So it is with great pleasure I re-
call my first introduction to Grape
Nuts. I had never investigated the
food until I came to use it in my own
case. I had suffered all that man can
suffer from dyspepsia, had tried to heal
myself and had had the services of
many other prominent, physicians. Then
I clutched at Grape-Nuts as drowning
man clutches at straw and to my
great establishment and qualification I
found that 1 had discovered something
besides a broken reed to lean upon, for
the food began to recuperate me i'm
mediately and it has now entirely
cured me to such an extent that I have
returned to my old habit of eating
everything that desire and can do so
without distress.
And I have not only found a, good
friend in sickness but most delicious
dish as well. 1t is the most nutritious
article of diet L have ever found and l
notice it's splendid effects more particu-
larly at night time, for a saucer of
Grape-Nuts and milk is always follow
ed by most refreshing sleep and per-
feet awakening. My only regret is that
was so slow to look into the scientific
merits of this wonderful food" Name

PROF. NIEMEYERs LECTURE

On the James Collection of Paintings.
Perhaps the most delightful, and GER
tainly the most unique, lecture which
has been given during the season was
that by Professor Niemeyer at the Yale
Art school Wednesday afternoon
March IS. The hour, 2 p. NJ, is a little
early for most people, and probably
many who wished to attend were him
dered on this account. The lecture was
given in the James Art gallery, which
was comfortably filled by a most ap-
preciative and sympathetic body of lis
teners. Taking up his stand just south
of the door at the head of the staircase,
Professor Nieneyer began his lecture,
speaking in his usual gentle, unassum-
ing style. and evincing his thorough
mastery of his subject, which was the
Jarvis Gallery Of italian Art. AS he
described painting after painting, point
ing out it's peculiarities of technique, or
beauty of color. his audience moved
with him, sitting or standing and list
ening with unf1agging attention.
This famous collection of paintings
was made by James Jackson Jarvis, a
Boston man and art critic. He lived
many years in Italy, and his artistic
culture was so great and his state so
unerring that he was able to discover

still another imagines herself pursued
by phantoms, and is continually being
missed and found hiding in some seclu-
ded part of the building or under one of
the beds.
From such remarkable material as
this Mrs. Hughes has trained a choir of
vocalists whose fame has spread all
over the Quaker City. Not satisfied
with what has been accomplished, Mrs.
Hughes now proposes to teach the lu-
natics to march into the church in the
manner of ordinary choirs in Episcopal
places of worship. The attempt is not
being made without misgivings, for
while the vocalists are on the platform
of the concert hall they are within
range Of the leaders eye-a hypnotic
eye, in the opinion of the physicians of
the asylum. When marching into the
hall, however, it will not be possible for
Mrs. Hughes to keep her eyes fixed on
her pupils; neither can the attendants
watch each member of the choir.
1t will probably be necessary, there
fore, for a severe dose of discipline to
be administered to the members Of the
choir during the rehearsals of the
marching part of the programme, as It
would be likely to throw the sane aud
ftors into panic should there be any
outbreak while the choir, is marching
up the aisle prior to a regular service.
