10 o'clock I'm the morning until
late in the day and when the meeting

The conference today limited the

the meeting. and a busy day ensued,
debating the proposed rules.
Graduate Rule Is Dropped.
1t was finally decided TO drop the
graduate rule prohibiting students al
ready having received a degree from
participating in intercollegiate events.
The freshman rule making first wear
students Ineligible for participation in
athletic events was agreed upon with
the provision that the rule be not re-
troactive and that freshmen already
having participated in collegiate events
should be allowed TO continue.
The rule. if approved. shall become
effective September J. 1907. and 10 to
that time rules are TO be promulgated
as in the past BY the respective athletic
boards.
-Four years participation i'm college

FLOWERS IN wlNDow-BoxEs.
Pleasure for Those Who Have No
Garden or Porch.

To the fower-lover. who has no gar
| den or porch. windowboxes offer ex-
cellent opportunities. Nothing can
In flat or house. If you have sew
eral boxes to fill, and want something
new, try filing each with flowers of
one color, with just enough of some
other to relieve the monotony. A
charming box is one filed with either
pink or red geraniums. These are
easy to grow. and they bloom CON
stantly. A box is also attractive when
filled with yellow nasturtiums of diff
and dwarf varieties. Petunias, sweet
alyssum. mignonette, heliotrope. and
many other flowers may also be
grown.
The chief requirement for boxes is
that they be of sufficient size to hold
quantity of dirt that will not dry
out too quickly. Filled with rich,
loamy soil that holds moisture well,
and watered regularly. good results
as harmful as too little.
ANY carpenter can readily make a
box to fit the desired place. 1fsone
must think of economy, there are
many packing boxes which are the
right size for the purpose. They
should, however, be fortified in the
middle with cross cleats, but need not
be lined. They should be well paint
ed, dark green, or a color to match the
house. 1t is a good plan to fill the
boxes with about two inches of
broken charcoal before putting in the
soil

THE NEW INSURANCE AGENT.
He Comes In With the New Law-PauI
Morton on His Opportunity.

The new insurance law Of the State
of New York has opened up promis-
ing field for both men and women
with brains and energy in the sale of
life insurance. The law now provides
standard forms of policies, each Of
which practically bears the hall mark
of the State of New York. and this new
order of things has established the
sale of life insurance on a correct
basis.
The prohibition against rebating and
extravagant allowances to agents has
driven out of the business the old
type of insurance agent, who in many
cases virtually bought business. with
large rebates, instead of selling it.
His place is being taken by profess
sors, lawyers, school teachers of both
sexes, and others, who find that being
a life insurance agent under the new
system offers greater reward than
their previous vocations. The law has
reduced commissions but all of the
commission now goes to the agent.
Life insurance is something that
everyone needs and under the pres

Paul Morton, president of the Equita-
BILE Life Assurance Society, has taken
the lead in building up an agency Or
ganization that is in keeping with the
demands of public sentiment, and the
standard he has set for his company.
He says: I'VE want new agents, both
men and women. but none except en-
ergetic. able and truthful people need
apply. For such there is splendid
opportunity"
Mr.. Morton's policy of injecting new
and vigorous blood into the agency

Potatoes in Cheese Sauce.

M. e. Southworth gives the follow

cheese. or potted cheese. in a sauce
pan with two tablespoonfuls of but
ter; when melted add two tablespoon
fuis of -four and rub until smooth
and creamy. Season with salt, pap
r'ca, and a dash of tabasco. and then
add slowly one and one-half cups of
milk, stirring until thoroughly blend
ed. Remove from the fire. Peel six
large, firm potatoes, and slice rather
thin and chop one sweet bell-pepper.
Put a layer of the potatoes in baking
dish, and sprinkle with the chopped
pepper, then another layer of pota-
toes, and SO on until the dish is filled.
Over all pour the thickened cheese
sauce, and sprinkle broken English
walnut meats and bits of butter on
top, and bake until the potatoes are
thoroughly cooked.

DR.. TALKS OF FOOD
Pres. of Board Of Health.

What shall eat?" Is the daily In
quiry the physician is met with. l do
not hesitate to say that in my judg-
ment. large percentage of disease is
caused by poorly selected and improp-
erly prepared food. My personal ex-
perience with the fully-cooked food,
known as Grape-Nuts. enables me to
speak freely of its merits.
From overwork. l suffered several
yea with malnutriton, palpitation of
the heart, and loss of sleep. Last
summer / was led to experiment per-
sonally with the new food, which /
used in conjunction with good rich
cows milk. In short time after l
commenced its use, the disagreeable
symptoms disappeared, my hearts ac-
ton became steady and normal. the
functions of the stomach were proper
ly carried out and I again slept as
soundly and as well as in my youth.
II look upon Grape-Nuts as per-
feet food. and no one can gainsay but
that it has most prominent place in
a rational, scientific system of feeding.
Any one who uses this food wil soon
be convinced of the soundness of the

tured and may thereby know the facts

Discard That Old Adaee About the
Course Of True Love.

A remarkable wedding has lately
taken place at Naples, remarkable be-
cause of the extreme youth and alert
ness of the happy couple. When Ce-
lestino Giordano, aged Is, with Gicelia
Nappi, his chosen bride. went to the
registry office to be married, the COM
missioner was very loath to perform
the ceremony, for the pair had not
reached the age limit prescribed by
the civil code. The young folks had
evidently expected to have to over
come difficulties to their union, for
while the commissioner was hesitat-
ing as to what he should do, they
sprang surprise on him and settled
the matter by producing royal de.
cree of dispensation, which they had
obtained direct from the king. This
