A casual glance over the list of honored stage names, as are associated with the progress and prosperity of this sosityled giant of gorgeous lavishness among musical comedy greatness must carry the most positive conviction that the manage ment are pleased to rely upon other means besides the absolute quality of their productions for gain and glory. Out of the fifty or more talented peo pie engaged in Gay New York most ly all of whom are girls of beauty as well as cleverness, 1t is only neces- sary to pick the names of Harry Elm erson, Lillian Hoerlein, Edward B.

COLLEGE BOY
Fond of DOughnuts and Pie, but Could Not "I<eep in the Game" on
 Such Food.

One good thing about modern college athletics is that the young fellows learn some sense about food and what 1t is really for.
 A thing may taste good but may not be the thing to make clear brains, elastic muscles and good wind"
 A Mich. boy went In for sport, but soon found that there was something wrong with his food He writes:
 During my school days l was fond of outdoor sport and excelled in nearly every game that entered. It was just at my greatest growing period and was springing up like vine.
 "The food I ate then soon proved to be unfit to sustain my growth and hard mental and physical work. I relished and ate pastry and used to eat hot doughnuts by the half dozen. I had starchy and greasy food pretty much all the time.
 "Soon I became so weak I would have to eat during the middle of the night before 1 could go to sleep (half starved because the undigested food sten never became absorbed for
 cength).
 My body was calling for nourish- ment that it could not get from the kind of food I ate. My stomach pained me and specialists pronounced my case severe intestinal indigestion.
 T tried everything imaginable in the way of different foods. but without avail. Finally l hit on, Grape-Nuts which began to eat and relish, throe times day. Soon my stomach and bowels got all right and my natural sleep returned. Now I am hard at work every day and sound in health which I owe largely to the advice in '"The Road to Wellville," the little book in the pkgs." Name given by Postum Cereal Co.,. Battle Creek, Mich.
