THE LUNCH QUESTION.

So many employees bolt the lunch and eat
what they should not. that they show the eff
feet In nervousness and dyspepsia. This has at
tracted the attention Of managers of the big
stores and shops. In one Chicago firm expert
ment on some Of the girls resulted in a complete
solution OF the question.
The woman that made the experiment tells the
tale follows: about year ago 1 became
alarmed at the state Of my daughters health She
employed by a big firm here and for some rea-
son steadily lost flesh, grew very nervous, had
appetite and could not sleep.
Questioning her found she ate but little LUNCH
for at that busy hour she seldom served
promptly and the time being short she just bolted
the food and rushed back. She ate very light
breakfasts and l could see she suffered from lack
Of nourishment. l felt responsible for this and
finally got her some Grape-Nuts for breakfast
Il also got a neat leather holding two pint
TASKS. One filled with milk, the other with cold
Postum Coffee. which had been properly made.
She also carried package OF Grape-Nuts. The
Postum she drank iced with a dash Of lemon She
followed the Grape-Nuts with some fruit and this
made up her lunch.
I'm spite Of the weather she improved
greatly in two weeks time. She gained in flesh
her nerves were steady and she slept sweetly at
night. She never felt. the old weakness from
hunger.
I'm short time a few other girls in the office
that still others were persuaded. Finally room
was cleared out and the hundred and odd
girls were served daily with Grape Nuts and hot
Postum. 1t was a revolution, but the manager
saw the good result and adopted the plan greatly
to the benefit Of the health Of the employees and
at a saving In expense" Name given BIZ Postum

Bucket Shop Gam bling.
70 the Editor of The Evening Star;

To the Editor of The Evening Star;
Since January 81, 1883, 1t has been I'M
lawful to operate gaming table in the
District Of Columbia. The District code re-
enacts the law Of January 81, 1888, on the
subject Of gambling.
Section S6S of the code makes this definf-
ton Of a gaming table:
All games, Devices or 'contrivances at
which money or any other thing shall be
bet or wagered shall be- deemed a gaming
table within the meaning Of these sections:
and the courts shall, construe the preced-
ing sections literally. so as to prevent the
mlSchlef intended to be guarded against"
Whether bucket shop Is a gaming
table under District law Is a question that
mas never been decided by the court of
last resort. There seems to be no doubt
however, that the proprietor of bucket
shop could be successfully prosecuted un-
der the District code If the facts could be
proved to the satisfaction OF the iury.
IN case OF this kind Judge Cox charged
the jury as follows:
-, lf the jury find from the evidence that
the defendant conducted business ostensibiy
as broker in stock, but it was not in
tended that stocks should be really bought
or sold, but only that parties should stake
money upon the prospective rise, and fall
OF the stocks, he should be found guilty.
Also, II 1t was understood between the de-
PENDANT and his customers that their trans
actions should be closed by the payment
by one to the other, of only the difference
between the contract prices and the mar
ket prices of the commodities a verdict of
guilty should be found"
Further, In determining whether the de-
PENDANT and the parties who dealt with
MIN upon margins really intended to buy
and sell stocks. or only to gamble upon
the rise and fall Of the same, and settle
by paying the differences, the jury are not
10 De controlled or bound by the form Of
the contracts, but may consider all the
surrounding circumstances as well. and
from all the evidence determine the real
intention Of the parties"
In this case the jury failed to agree as
20 the facts. See page Of The Star Of
November u, 1895
ihe District law against gambling is very
comprehensive. 1t covers every imagina bic
species OF gambling. There is no difficulty
IN nndng the law, but the evidence is not
so easy to obtain

burn has filed a caveat, in the matter Of the

NO DETAILS osrAINAeLE.
News Of Canal Treaty Signing Quietly
Leaked Out.

Washington, Jan. 23.--NO details Of
the signing Of the treaty were obtain
abe during the evening. but at the
public reception at the White House
the news that the signing Of the treaty
between the two countries had at last
become an accomplished fact became
known and later was authoritatively
made known on inquiry. 1t was in
tended not TO make the signing known
during the evening, but the chance for
newspaper notoriety became too good
for some friends of the canal to keep
after the long delay and suspense and
it TRANSFERRED as stated at the presi-
dents official reception. Fears had
been entertained until this week that
Colombia would not be willing to &C.
cede to the wishes of the United
States in the matter and that recourse
to the Nicaragua canal project might
be forced on the government Of the
United States. But this week events
took a more favorable turn and Colon
bia transmitted instructions and au-
thority to DR.. Herran, its representa-
tive in The United States. that made
possible a conclusion of the long nego-
fiotipNs
