 It is remarkable how easily .srhe Old Homestead,' which comes to the Hype- rion Monday, October 19, has out-dis. tanced every play of the kind on the American stage in popularity. Season after season it continues just as suc- cessfully as it did during it's first tri- umphs. There is the image of perpetu- al youth in it's lines and an art of sug- gestion that is more than dramatic. The atmosphere that peryades the play Is refreshing. It possesses variety of emotions that are as natural as the country that it pictures. It takes our elders back across the gulf of years into the pastures of childhood and awakens tender memories with it's pa thos and hunor To the young 1t is an excursion into the land of summertime.
 Whatever may be said of it critically, there is no doubt of the broad humani- ty of this classic. There are the under lying principles of the perennial popu- larlarity of .The Old Homestead It appeals as no other American play does to the human heart, teaching a lesson of charity. of honest living and of sim pie, unalloyed righteousness.
 The production this season is prom ised to be complete in every detail, and the supporting company, including the famous double quartette, of exceptional marit. Denman Thompson appears as Uncle Josh, Seat sale Friday. Prices s1.00, 75, 50 and 25aeents.

ORIGIN
Of a Famous Human Food.

The story of great discoveries or in- Nentions is always of .atel est. F
 An active brain worker who found himself hampered by lack of bodily strength and vigor and could not carry put the plans and enterprises he knew how to conduct was led to study vari- ous foods and their effects upon the human system. In other words, before he could carry out his plans he had to find food that would carry him along and renew his physical and mental strength.
 He knew that food that was a brain and nerve builder (rather than a mere fat maker) was universally needed. He knew that meat with the average man does not accomplish the desired results. He knew that the soft gray substance in brain and nerve centers is made from Albumen and Phosphate of Potash obtained from food. Then he started to solve the problem.
 Careful and extensive experiments evolved Grape-Nuts, the. now famous food. Grape-Nuts contain the brain and nerve building food elements in condition for easy digestion. The re- suit of eating Grape-Nuts daily is cas- lily seen in a marked sturdiness and &C., fivity of the brain and nervous system, making it pleasure for one to carry on the daily duties without fatigue or exhaustion. The food is in no sense stimulant, but is simply food which re- news and replaces the daily waste Of brain and nerves.
 Its flavor is charming, and, being full iy anS thoroughly cooked at the fac' fory, itIs served instantly with cream.
 The signature of the brain worker spoken of c. w. Post, is to be seen on each genuine package of Grape-Nuts.
 Look in each package for a copy eot the famousS little book, "The Road to Melville"

Grand nnarn linnse.

The Christian will be the bill at the Grand Opera House tonight and Fri day and Saturday nights and at the Saturday matinee The Bridgeport Tel egram says of the production there on Tuesday night, October 1S:
 The play used to exploit the ability of Miss Blanca West this season is 'tThe Christian" and yesterday at Smiths theater she was greeted by large and sympathetic audiences, who encouraged her by their applause, and at the even- ing performance called her before the curtain four or five times after the third act in appreciation of her earnest en- deavors to portray the role of Glory. Miss West was presented with a bou- quet of chrysanthemums last evening.
 Miss West is always assured of large audiences in her home city, and with an interehting play like "The Christian" added reason is given for large box re- eeipts. The play is faithfully presented. Details are not lacking. The mob is we'll drilled and acted in an emphatic manner. The emphasis that they put into the word "No" and their sneers and jibes were not confounded with the usual supernumerating efforts.
 Aside from Miss West, Lionel Adams won great applause for his numerous heroic speeches. As the stubborn John Storm, his work was taking. Lillian Ward, as Polly Love, is also entitled to share in the honors of the perfor- nance, and Walter Montague made a strong villain as Lord Ure. Caston Bell was satisfactory as Horatio Drake, and Frederick Maynard acted the part of Father Lampugh in excellent voice. The other members of the cast fill in their respective parts acceptably.
 The piece is richly mounted and, Miss West wears some stunning gowns.

Sudden Death of Little Boy.

The little two-year-old son OF
Mr.. Miller, the contractor on
grading on the Granville Mohall
branch. died in his fathers arms
near the John Bishop farm near
sGlenburu a week ago Friday
morning. The boy had eaten a
green apple the evening before
and was soon in commissions. He
grew so bad that his father de-
cided to go to Granville to a
physician and started with him
but the boy grew SO much worse
on the road that the father start
ed for the Bishop house with him.
Just before reaching the door,
the little fellow died. The body
next day was taken to Granville
but the people Of that place hav-
ing had no use for a cemetery
vet, have not provided one, and
the remains were brought to
Minot for burial. The case is a
very sad one and Mr.. and Mrs.
Miller have the sympathy OF
everyone.
