 Then I decided l must diet and see if I could overcome the difficulty that way. My choice of food was Grape Nuts because the coctor told me l could not digest starchy food. Tt has been a great benefit to me for feel like a different person since I begun to eat it. It is wonderful to me how strong my nerves have be- come.

At the Gayety.

The Picchianis family, considered ths greatest team of hand-to-hand acrobats, tumblers and pyramid builders on the stage. is the feature act at the New Gayety theatre this week, where Fred Irwin's New Majestics' are appearing. The act has five women and three men. and a majority of the feats are performed by the women. Some of them are new and number of them are considered marvellous, even in this day of so many acrobatic acts
 The act made big hit yesterday aft ernoon and last night, the audiences ap- plauding it more than any act of this season. The applause was especially hearty when the women performed cer- tain stunts.
 The New Majestcs' are good in gen eral. The olio contains a clever one-act farce entitled "An Irish Admiral" with Larry McCale in the part. and he is q clever Irishman. There Is nothing coarse about the comedy in the farce and it takes well with the audience.
 Fay and Lutz have just one thing in their act. if there was nothing else, that would make it popular. It has to deal with the last quart of beer to be had, and the clever manner in which one got it away from the other. The stunt has to be seen to be appreciated.

Both of them are wooden shoe dancers of ability, and their act pleases the audience Miss Walker, with some new songs. is also a pleasing number on the programme. Her partner. Miss Har- vey, is very i'll in Cincinnati.
