The Brownlow good roads bin has
been put to rest IA the House. for this
session Of Congress; but its advocates
declare that this has been simply the
initial campaign and they predict sue
cess for the next time The Philadel-
phia Ledger gets at the root OF the
matter when it says:
The States eager at all times to de-
fend their rights, should be not less
willing to recognize their responsible
tiles. In these days no claim FOR good
roads can be logically based upon their
value for interstate commerce. The
traffic between States Is not now trans
ported by wagon road; nor are good
roads necessary to the national defense.

hurried forward by rail- OF the COM
mercial Importance OF good roads, In
heir facilitation OF local traffic there
cannot be question. The need Of the
improvement is as readily admitted by
the opponents OF national aid as by its
champions. The question is simply.
How shall it be paid for?
Let the Federal government interfere
in the slightest degree with the states
in the management OF their internal az
fairs and there is resentment but there
is no objection when there is a propo-
sltion to draw upon Uncle sam's

The Power Of Food.

An Illinois lady who never knew
what health was until she reached her
10th year presents an unusually con-
vincihg case of the power Of proper
food. She says;
Il am "A years old this fall and /
never had good health that 1 can re-
member since l was child until /
commenced to use Grape-Nuts four
years ago.
From the very first I could feel a
vast Improvement and now IN four
years / have gained so that / do all
my own work. and feel I cannot say
too much in favor Of ,Tape-Nuts and
what this rand food has done for me
as old as ! am.
Il have recommended Grape Nuts 10
several and they al have been bene-
fited by IT," Name given by Postum
Co. Battle Creek, Mich.
The power of proper food (Which
means food that the stomach will di-
gest and at the same time yields the
lall-necessary nutrimenD is almost
unlimited and that's the reason 10 days
trial of Grs e-Nuts often works a
wonder.

EDITORIAL OPINION
The journal is Engaged.


From the Sunday Star.
The Evening Journal is engaged. It
has got mixed up IN an affair in which
not merely one woman bat several wo-
men. more than dozen of them per-
haps, are concerned. t announces the
interesting fact that on Saturday,
March 20 next. It viii be printed, pub.
lished edited and otherwise hav.
things done to it by the women mama
gers OF the two public hospitals In this
city. the proceeds of the days business
to be exclusively for the benefit of
those worthy institutions This IS a
good idea and ought TO be productive
OF good results. We commend our
contemporary for its generosity and
for It's courage If the women don't
'get back" at the editor for some Of
the funny things he has been saying
about their sex for years, IL viii be
because they don't recognize an OPP
portunity when il stands right be-
frontest them.
But The Journal omits the most in
teresting facts in relation to this most
interesting affair. 1t tells us all about
what is going to be done to itself on
the fateful Goth. but it fails to tell US
who is going TO do it.that U.s. It doesn't
give us the names of the women who
are destined TO win glory for them
selves and shekels for the hospitals OF
the last Saturday of the third month
proXimo. Already" says The Jour
nal the list of editors. and editorial
writer's, city editors and telegraph
editors and sporting editors and dra-
matte editors and State editors ana so
ciety editors and assistants and re-
porters-of business managers and ad-
vertising managers and circulation
managers and assistants galore have
been arranged"
But perhaps the suggestion is pre-
mature. in which case we are willing
to wait. Anyway, we wish the venture
the fullest measure Of success.a and shall
be glad TO assist It by any means In
our control.

TO PREVENT FIRES.

The Baltimore fire should be prohta-

some useful lessons. It is becoming
more and more evident that in the
denser portions Of our. cities where
there are stores and warehouses nlled
with inhammable materials ana where
tbsra is fandency to build higher
structures, appliances for controlling
fires must be Of afspperior order.
what IS needed for these districts is

The bill offered az the Garrlck Theatre
this week surpasses anything seen in this
city Tor a long time. While IN the point
OF dressing. the gowns displayed by the
ladies in the company. are simply marvels
in the art OF dressmahing. especially the
gown worn by Eloise willard. 1t is the
work OF Worth Of Paris and is simply
beautiful. It's beauty is greatly enhanced
by bright footights and well becomes
Miss willard. who is really a pretty
woman. John and Bertha Gleason are a
close second, their costumes being gor-
geous and their dancing the very best.
Grace Gardner and Wenona the wonder
ful shooter, also display some very pretty
costumes. The male portion OF the show
Is not behind. Eyening dress is the rule.
and even little Louis Simon makes his ap-
pearance in an evening dress suit, but
changes 10 the grotesque m!sht to give
him chance to hustle with a mammoth
step ladder There is an old time saying,
i"funny enough TO make horse smile;' II
really would be q sedate horse that Sim
ons couldn't make laugh He IS about the
funniest fellow that has been seen here.
ilt is doubtful II Dockstadcr has ever Of
fered his patrons such an excellent all
round blil there is an air of refinement
about IL that Is really refreshing. There
should not be an empty seat at the Gar
rick at any performance during the week.
