A WINNING START,
A Perfectly Digested Breakfast Makes
Nerve Force for the Day.

Everything goes wrong If the break.
fast lies in your stomach like a mud
pie. What you eat does harm IL you
can't digest tit turns to poison.
A bright lady teacher found this to
be true, ave of an ordinary light
breakfast of eggs and toast. She
says:
1.-TWO years ago I contracted a very
annoying form Of indigestion. My
stomach was in such a condition that
a simple breakfast Of fruit, toast and
egg gave me great distress.
II was slow to believe that trouble
could come from such a simple diet
but finally had to give 1t up, and
found a great change upon a cup of
hot Postum and Grape-Nuts with
cream, for my morning meal. For
more than a year / have held to this
course and have not suffered except
when injudiciously varying my diet.
Il have been a teacher for several
years and ind that my easily digested
breakfast means a saving Of nervous
force for the entire day. My gain Of
ten pounds in weight also cause me
to want to testify to the value Of
Grape-Nuts.

He Hit the

Patrick Murphy had an afternoon
off, so he thought he would go out to
see the horse races.
Pat had heard about the fortunes
made at the race track, so he thought
he would try his luck. He went down
stairs before every race, but didn't
find any odds that suited him until
the last race. 1t was a large gray
horse. l don't remember its name,
but it suited Pat all right, for it had
50-1 after it.
Pat put up his dollar and went up
stairs tc see the ace His horse won
by a neck. Pat hurried downstairs
with a lively step to cash in his
check.
1t was the last race of the day and
the bookmaker was anxious to get
rid Of his silver, therefore Pat was
paid with silver dollars.
Pat stood there a few minutes fun
bling over his handful of silver dol
lars, when the bookmaker hollered:
whats the matter, Irish? Don't you
think they are good?"
Pat said: "They look all right, but
I am just trying to see IL I can find
The bad n I gave you among them"

Great was the day that Policeman
Barney Flynn raided a fence" But,
Of course, he never would have done
it il he had not been properly prompt
ed by his wife. Like many another
man, Policeman Flynn does not go out
hunting for trouble and work, and it
takes a certain amount of feminine
sarcasm and criticism to make him
even reasonably ambitious. But once
reused to action, there Is no man on
"th' foorce" who can surpass him in
either resourcefulness or nerve.

Rich Women Have Trouhles.

The idea that fashionable women
are too busy and had too many inter-
ests to feel acute sorrow over their
broken crockery was disproved the
other day when Mrs. S~tuyvcsant Fish
went into the principal dry goods
store in Newport with a friend who
stopped to watch a man who was
selling sement for cut glass and called
to Mrs. Fish: "Oh, here is a cement
for cut glass which not only mends
1t but makes it ring as clearly as il
it were new" Mrs. Fish called back:
my servants break SO much of my
glass now that it is heartbreaking and
If they knew it were possible TO
mend it they would break it all, SO |
don't care for any, thank you"

AN OLD PAINTERS IDEAS.

The autumn season is coming more
and mcge to be recognized as a most
suitable time for housepainting. There
Is no frost deep in the wood to make
trouble for ever the best job of paint
Ing, and the general seasoning of the
summer has put the wood into good
condition in every way. The weather,
moreover, is more likely to be settled
for the necessary length of time to
allow all the coats to thoroughly dry, a
very important p~recaution. An old
and successful painter said to the
writer the other day: House owners
would get more for their money II they
would allow their painters to take
more time, especially between coats.
Instead of allowing barely time for the
surface to get dry enough not to be
'tacky,' several days (weeks would
not be too much) should be allowed
so that the coat might set through
and through. 1t is in~convenient, of
course, but, If one would suffer this
slight inconvenience, it would add two
or three years to the life of the paint"
All this is assuming, of course, that
the paint used is the very best to
be had. The purest of white lead and
the purest of linseed oil unmixed with
any cheaper of the cheap mixtures,
often known as white Lead" and oil
which has been doctored with fish oil,
benzine, corn oil or other Of the
a~dulterants known to the trade are
used, all the precautions of the skilled
painter are useless to prevent the
cracking and peeling which make
houses unsightly in a year or so and
therefore, make painting bills too fire..
quent and costly. House owner
should have his painter bring the in.
gradients to the premises separately,
white lead of some well known relia-
BILE brand and linseed oil of equal quail
ity and mix the paint just before ap.
plying it. Painting need not be ex.
pensive and unsatisfactory if the old
painters suggestions are followed.

knew that he had to do that particular
job himself in order to have peace in
the family, and Mrs. Flynn knew that
he would do it and do it well. He did
not report his discovery at the station,
Investigations. In this he was violat-
ing a rule of the department, but what
is a rule of the department compared
with a rule Of the household? He
wanted to learn the habits and meth
DDS of the gang end do the planning
himself, well knowing this assumption
of responsibility would be overlooked
if he were successful. When everything

making the raid.

Inc University Of Notre Dame, IL sp.
pears, mas some features that can not be
duplicated in any other school. It is one
OF the Old, Well-established colleges, with
years, with a distinguished staff OF pro-
tessors and excellent library and labora-
tory equipment. It's discipline is of the
paternal kind-strong without being op-
p~ressive; and as it embraces in it's scope
the grammar school, high school and col
lege work, its appeal is as broad as it is
potent. Perhaps the most remarkable
feature of the famous indiana University,
however, is the fact that it has arrived at
its present marvellous development abso-
lutely without endowment. An announce

from the engineer recommending all increase in salary for Walter F. Col- ley of the engineering department. from $225 to S2.75 per day. It was ordered on file.
 A petition of the Southern New Eng. land Telephone company relative 10 the making of conduits was referreI to the engineer. Mayor ThOms made few remarks about conduits which would lead one to believe that he is not satisfied with the present arrange ment. He said some general scheme should be agreed upon and that he didn't know but the city should ,iO the work. The bill of the Warner Miller company for cement and ex- banded metal. held up at the last meeting, was approved. It was eN- pIained by Clerk Lawlor that the ma teriaI is bought and paid for by inc city and the cost deducted from tie contract price of the work where it is being used. This is precaution taScjl by Mir Cairns to guard against the use of inferior cement and metal.
 A communication from Clerk Law Tor regarding water main ill Dike- man street, showed that it was or dered last year, but went over for lack of funds. The mayor didn't think it would be well to construct the main until after the street is graded. It was voted to grade the street. also to grade Hill street from Platt street to Johnson avenue and Bunker Hill street ill front of the school house.
 Mayor ThOms thought the city a trifie behind in the matter of suitable pIaygrounds for children and suggest ed that the old Locust street school lot be secured and devoted to place of amusement for the little ones. It was decided to to have the committee on parks look into this matter with the board of education.
 The board authorized the purchase of an extra horse to be used by the street department and horse to be used at Hamilton park.
 The superintendent of streets was instructed to blast off the rocks in front of the property of Mir Foster at Grandyiew avenue and Lafayette street. and to place a rail fence along the brook on Robbins street. The eIl- gneer was instructed to prepare plans for small park at East Farms anu Walnut streets. The matter of surface water on Farm street was referred to committee consisting of the enein- eer and the city attorney. The pres ent status of the sidewalk question on Farm street was referred to the clerk for investigation. The engineer was directed to cross section Chase park. also to submit an estimate of the cost of building storm water conduit from Center street to South Main street by way of the alleyway in the rear of the building between Center street and Harrison avenue. instead of going through the paved streets.
 The superintendent of streets was instructed to give Union square park a suitable top dressing. On reconi- mendation of the committee on parks it was decided to clean out the old frog pond at Hamilton park and fill It in with gravel so that at no time vii! the water be deep enough to be a menace in the neighborhood.
