account of his search after new species
of parasites during his stay in Manila,
p l. Father Stanton was stationed in
Manila for three years, and during that
time made many discoveries. Upon arrival
in the Philippines he visited the museums
and consulted the works on the fauna Of
the islands, and though he found very
large collections and descriptions of vari-
Gus species he observed that the list of
parasites was somewhat meager. So sue
cessful were his efforts that he discovered
no less than 152 new species.
Specimens of all these were sent to DR.
Ashmead of the National Museum, where
they will be kept The parasite is valuable
because of its destruction of different pests
After visiting in Spain Father Stanton
will probably return to the Philippines.

days ago, and is stopping with friends in
Census court northwest. while instituting
search for his sister Lucinda, who came
here several months ago to go to work. His
sisters whereabouts are unknown to him,

find her. While standing yesterday near
the Pennsylvania depot he made known the
object of his visit to a young colored man
with whom he happened to strike up an
acquaintance.
The stranger was positive he could find
the missing sister, and borrowed so cents

MERCHANT AS SALESMAN.
Cannot Auction His Own Goods With
out Auctioneer's License.

a new precedent in connection with the
public auction by merchant of his own
wares was established at the District build
ing today by an opinion of Corporation
Counsel A. B. Duvall. According to this
opinion In the future all merchants who
sell their own stock at auction will be re-
qu1red to take out a regular auctioneer's
license in the event they do not employ a
regularly licensed auctioneer to cry the
sale
The matter was brought up on the applf-
catlon or X. E. Sherwood. book dealer on
pennsylvania avenue near 18th street. who
desired to sell his stock of books at public
auction in order to speedily dispose of his
stock so as to remove into more commo-
dious quarters elsewhere
When he first inquired at the District
building whether he would be obliged to
take out an auctioneer's license Mr.. Sher-
wood was informed that he would not
Later, however, he was informed that in
order to auction his own goods he must
obtain license.
Mr.. Sherwood applied to Commissioner
West for a ruling on the question. He de-
clared that he intended to sell only his own
goods and that he did not propose. to re-
plensh his stock Commissioner West re-
quested the corporation counsel for an
opinion on the matter and that official held
that a license should be required of Mr..
Sherwood.
The. cost of an auctioneer's annual
license is 800. Mr.. Sherwood will be re-
CURED to take out a license for two months
on a pro rata basis of the annual fee IL
is stated that the case in point is the first
of its kind to be presented to the District
authorities for settlement.

The Vulgar Restaurant Habit.
BY a London Critic.

Restaurant hospitality is remarkable
feature of the times, and many is the weary
housewife who blesses the arrangement 1t
lifts from her all worry and trouble and
gives her as good chance of enjoyment as
any of her guests. The very popularity of
this form of entertaining, however, consti-
tutes their excellent photographs of modern
society. The first thing that strikes one on
entering is the babel of voices. Every one
screams. Women who should be and os-
tensible are society leaders yell their re-
knees, elbows on table and cigarettes when
the meal is over. To certain extent, per-
haps, these things are due to our cousins
who have very large continent to be
American in, but whose infectious high
spirits are, on Kipling's ''island nine by
seven" a little overpowering in their ex-
preston.

been denied by Justice Anderson in the
case of Lucy Eva Bernsdorff against Ell
more E. Bernsdorff. Mr.. Bernsdorff made
tender in open court of a suitable home for
his wife whenever she was willing to ac-

In disposing of the petition Justice An
derson said that in law the husband is the

select the place where his family shall re-
side, and that a suitable home having been
provided by the husband he is under no
obligation to support his wife separately
at some place of her own choosing.

The Days Work.

Much Of the success Of life depends
on proper preparations for the days
work Most people work, either to
get the most out of themselves. To
rise late, rush through the toilet and
gulp down a hasty breakfast is no
preparation for a good days work, yet
it is safe to say that the majority of
women begin the day in this way. 1t
is just as easy to rise in plenty of time.
if one will only do it. The tendency
on waking is to stretch and yawn. A
few minutes spent in this deep breath
ing is always restful, says the House
keeper. This should be followed by a
few breaths of fresh air, drinking a
couple of glasses of water. exercises
that suit the case, the BIZ y and toilet.
This forms a mental attitude consis-
tent with a good days work A SIM
pie breakfast-some take none
should follow before an unhurried
tourney either to Office or the routine
of Homework. Stand erect breathe
erect, think erect. and half the battle
is won.

SAFEST FOOD
I'm Amy Time of Trouble is Grape-Nuts.

Food to rebuild the strength and that
is pre- digested must be selected when
one is convaescent At this time there
is nothing so valuable as Grape-Nuts
for the reason that this food is all
nourishment and is also all digestible
nourishment. A woman who used it
says:
''Some time ago 1 was very i'll with
typhoid fever, so i'll everyone thought
would die, even myself 1t left me
so weak l could not properly digest
food Of any kind and also had much
bowel trouble which left me q weak,
helpless wreck.
II needed nourishment as badly as
anyone could, but none of the tonics
helped me until / finally tried Grape
Nuts food morning and evening. This
not only supplied food that l thought
delicious as could be but it also made
me perfectly we'll and strong again SO
can do all my Homework, sleep well,
can eat anything without any trace of
bowel trouble and for that reason alone
Grape-Nuts food is worth its weight in
gold" Name given by Postum Co.,
Battle Creek, Mich.
Typhoid fever like some other dis
eases attacks the bowels and frequently
sets up bleeding and makes them for
months incapable Of digesting the
starches and therefore pre- digested
Grape-Nuts is invaluable for the well
In MT al
the starches have been transformed
into grape sugar. THIS means that the
first stage of digestion has been me-
chemically accomplished in Grape-Nuts
food at the factories and therefore any
one, no matter how weak the stomach,
can handle it and grow strong, for all
the nourishment is still there.
There's a sound reason and 10 days
trial proves.
