ABOUT FEAR Often Comes From Lack of Right Food

Nanoleon said that the best fed sol- diers were his best soldiers. for fear and nervousness come quickly when the stomach is not nourished. Nervous fear is a sure sign that the body is not SUD- piled with the right food.
 A Connecticut lady says: "For many years I had been a sufferer from indi- gestion and heart trouble, and in almost constant fear of sudden death, the most acute suffering possible. Dieting brought on weakness, cancellation and nervous exhaustion, and I was a com plete wreck physically and almost a wreck mentally.
 T tried many. foods but could avoid the terrible nausea, followed by vomit- ing, that came after eating, until I tried Grape-Nuts. This food agreed with my palate and stomach from the start. This was about year ago. Steadily and surely change from sickness to health came until now have no symp- toms of dyspepsia, and can walk ten miles a day without being greatly fa- tigued. I have not taken drop of medicine since I began the use of Grape Nuts and people say look many years younger than I really am. . My poor old sick body has been made over, and feel as though my head has been too. Life is worth living now, and expect to enjoy it for many years to come if can keep away from bad foods and have Grape-Nuts." Name given by Postum Co.,. Battle Creek. Mich.

CRUSH IN THE sTEERAGE.
Excitement on Pier When La Touraine
 Sailed.

Sailed.
 New York. Dec. S.-The long, covered pier shed of the French Line is always 8 humming hive of excited and gesticu- lating humanity on sailing days, but the scenes and incidents witnessed there this forenoon when La Touraine sailed for Havre, packed to the guards with homegoing steerage passengers, and leaving over 200 swailing on the pier, crowded out for lack of accommoda- tion, was unlike anything ever seen therefore before. Men, women, and children rushed about waving their green tickets frantical1y. crying aloud their woes in half the tongues of Eu- rope, searching for baggage. crying for lost children, and making commotion that almost drove the steamship men out of their wits with worry and anxi- ety. The ticket holders could not be made to understand that the steamship could not carry all of them, and that some must stalk behind and wait for the next ship.
 The usual Christmas rush for home is at it's height just now, and all the steamers are carrying their capacity of steerage passengers. La Touraine took 1000, and the Neckar, which sailed for Bremen to-day, carried 2.000. The Ced- ric carried out 1,5o0 yesterday, About 5000 steerage passengers have left this port in the past week to spend the holidays abroad at their old homes. They have come from nearly every state in the Union. Fifty of the 200 left on the dock when La Touraine sailed came from Montana, where they have been working in the copper mines.

UNCLE SAM TO STATE GUARD
SEVENTY THOUSAND BOUNDS OF
 MULTI-BALL CARTRIDGES
For fhe New Riheu-BsIts and Mule
 Wagons.

Seventy thousand rounds of multi ball cartridges are on the way here from the Frankfort arsenal, Philadel- phia, for the use of the Connecticut Ma tional Guard in case of riots. This am munition is for the new rifles, which ar rived recently, and five hundred rounds will be distributed to each company commandant.
 The multi-baIl cartridge is unique in that the shell contains two balls. It is designed for use in cases where the great range of the service bullet would render it's use objectionable on account of the danger to persons and property at considerable distances from the fir- ing point. The cartridge is composed of the service case charged with a full charge of smokeless powder, about thirty-four grains, and two round balls, held in the neck of the case by clan nelure at the lower end and crimp at the upper. The balls are made of mixture of lead and tin, in the propor- ton of sixteen to one, and are slightly coated with paraff1n. The diameter of the ball is ,3OS inch, and the weight for ty-two grains. The service primer for smokeless powder is used. The cart ridges have sufficient accuracy for ef- fective use at two hundred yards, at which range sight elevation of three hundred and fifty yards is required. At one hundred yards or less the firing is done point blank. .a.... j.
 New cartridge belts are being made in Worcester, Mass, as the belts now in use were made to hold forty-five caliber cartridges, whereas the new multi-ball cartridges are thirty caliber The quartermaster-ge department ex- poets the new ctrtridges daily.
 The twenty-two mule wagons ordered recently for the use of the Connecticut National Guard are expected to arrive in Mantle in a day or two. They were shipped by freight from Jeffersonville, Ind, November 27 The wagons have the arched canvas top, like the kind used in the emigrant trains in the west. The wagons, rifles, cartridges and other equipments which the Connecticut Ma tional Guard is receiving, come under the twenty-five thousand dollar allot- ment to this state from the two million dollar appropriation by the United States government

Grand OperR Ei"use.

This thrilling drama, which was pre- sented at the Grand opera house for the first time in the city last night drew
 together an audience that crowded every part Of the place. "A Desperate
 Chance is by Theodore Kreiner and is founded on the life of the famous Bid
 dle brothers, and the great Pittsburg tragedy. The play consists of four acts and nine scenes, and is without question drama that appeals to every class of
 theatergoer. The cast is splendid one,
 and the representation of the various
 characters is ably depicted. In fact, 1t
 would be superfiuous to single out any one individual of the company for notice. The several scenes are so we'll fitted into the various parts of the play
 that they never failed to draw forth
 plaudits from every part of the house.
 The climaxes are carried through to
 perfection, especially in the case in the
 third and fourth acts. The third act embraces the signal for escape the
 drugging of the warden of the prison by
 his wife,, and the escape of the Biddell
 brothers through the help Of the war
 den's wife. The fight for life on the
 high road is realistic in the extreme, as
 is also the dying scene of the brothers
 in the last act, and the re-uniting of the
 warden. his wife and little daughter
 Clara. The humorous part of the play is ably sustained by Joseph Coleman and Julia Sweeney. The play will be
 given again tonight, Saturday matinee
 and evening and should be seen by ev- cry true lover of a truly realistic play. The management of the Grand Opera house makes the pleasant announce ment that it has secured another re- turn visit of David Belasco's phenome- nally and deservedly successful inter- national play, 'The Heart of Nary land" which will occur next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights, with Wednesday matinee. "The Heart of
 Maryland" may be said to stand alone as representative of romantic epic of { American life and American character.
 MT Belasco has written a score or more of marvelously successful plays, but
 none in all the list has more nearly and firmly attached to itself the hu-
 manly heart interest Of so numerous Q clientele of the general play-going pub lie. Throughout it's rapid succession of 1 thrilling events, eliminating in the her oine's triumphant rescue of her lover
 from the disgraceful death of spy, the dominant theme of the story is that
 of the indomitable power, beauty, pur- i ity and infinite resources of woman's
 love. Louise Beaton, an actress who has met with considerable success as a de- 1 lineator of New York street characters,
 assumes the title role in Rachel Gold stein, or the Struggles of a Poor Girl in
 New York" a comedy melodrama, 1 which will be produced on an elaborate ! scale at the Grand Opera house Thurs day, Friday and Saturday nights, De- cember 10, Il and 12, with matinee Sat- I urday.
