The white Ice cream basket is made
in exactly the same way, with the
substitution of white paper for red
and little pasteboard Cupid stuck
on the handle in place of the heart
and arrow. The favors for a yalen-
tine dance, children's party or cotil-
lion are simply fancy paper hearts
fastened on slender sticks, wound
with paper and decorated with ribbon
streamers. The candle shade makes
most effective table decoration. It
is of white paper, decorated with
red hearts and gold arrows, and the
top and bottom of the shade are fin
ished with twists of the paper touched
up with gold paint.
st. Valentines Day was originally
the day dedicated to the incoming of
spring. The Romans kept it in honor
of Pan and Juno, and the festival.
which lasted several days, was called
"Lupercalia." The early Christian
church, desiring to effect change in
this much-abused feast, very adroitly
reconstructed the old practice of the
lottery of lovers names. In place of
the names of real youths and maid
ems, whose appellations, written on
slips Of paper, were drawn by the
young people of the time, the church
substituted the names of the saints.
The idea had its own beauty, and the
notion Of dedication was thus pre-
served in more spiritual sense than
in the old Roman festival. This feast,
and not the existence of the real st.
Valentine, is the origin of the gallant

Some st. Valentine "Don'ts. !"

Remember that lou want to enjoy
the ST. Valentine party as we'll &c
your guests; therefore observe these
rules:
Don't fret and worry every hour of
the preceding day until you are ner-
vous and sensitive to everything that
goes wrong.
Don't rush your s--ames too close on
each others heels. Young people
like to talk.
Don't seem to be making an effort
to entertain them at every moment.
Suggest the games when the talking
grows a little less spirited.

PURE FOOD
No Food Commissioner of any State
has ever attacked the absolute
purity of Grape-Nuts.

EVERY analysis undertaken shows
this food to be made strictly of Wheat
and Barley, treated by our processes
to partially transform the starch
parts into form of Sugar, and there
fore much easier to digest.
Our claim that it is food for
Brain and Nerve Centres" is based
upon the fact that certain parts Of
Wheat and Barley (Which we use)
contain Natures brain and nerve
building ingredients, viz, Phosphate
OF Potash, and the way we prepare
the food makes it easy to digest and
assimilate.
DR.. Geo. w. Carey in his book on
The Biochemic System of Medicine"
says:
When the medical profession fully
understands the nature and range of
the phosphate of potassium, insane
asylums will no longer be needed.
The gray matter of the brain is
controlled entirely by the inorganic
cell-salt, potassium phosphate.
"This salt unites with albumen.
and by the addition of oxygen creates
nerve-fuid, or the gray matter of the
brain.
"Of course, there is trace of other
salts and other organic matter in
nerve-fuid, but potassium phosphate
is the chief factor, and has the power
within itself to attract, by it's own
law of affinity, all things needed to
manufacture the elixir of life. There
fore, when nervous symptoms arise,
due to the fact that the nerve-luid
has been exhausted from any cause,
the phosphate Of potassium is the
only true remedy, because nothing
else can possibly supply the de-
ficiency.
THE ills arising from too rapidly
consuming the gray matter of the
brain cannot be overestimated.
Phosphate of Potash, is to my
mind, the most wonderful curative
agent ever discovered by man, and
the blessings it has already conferred
on the race are many. But what
shall the harvest be- when physicians
everywhere fully understand the part
this wonderful salt plays in the pro-
cesses of life? 1t will do as much as
can be done through physiology to
make heaven on earth.
"Let the overworked business man
take 1t and go home good-tempered.
Let the weary wife, nerves unstrung
from attending to sick children or en-
PERTAINING company, take it and note
how quickly the equilibrium will be
restored and calm and reason assert
her throne. No 'provings' are re-
CURED here. We find this potassium
salt largely predominates in nerve
fluid, and that a deficiency produces
well-defned symptoms. The begin
ming and end Of the matter is to sup
ply the lacking principle, and in
molecular form, exactly as nature
furnishes it in vegetables, fruits and
grain. To supply deficlencies-this is
the only law Of cure"
Please observe that Phosphate of
Potash is not properly of the drug
shop variety but is best prepared by
"Old Mother Nature" and stored in
the grains ready for use by mankind.
Those who have been helped to better
health by the use of Nuts are
legion.

The Smileless Man.

w. w. Black, head critic of the Chi
cago normal school, is in trouble be-
cause he has never been known to
smile. Several young teachers have
requested the school board to remove
him, and the sole reason given is that
he never smiles, and, therefore, is un-
sympathetic.-.New York Commercial

owing to the prevailing panic. But
Mr.. Freeman wants the depositors paid
In full and has worked faithfully to
this end and 1t seems pity that when
one works SO faithfully and his friends
place such implicit confidence in him
that he is not permitted to succeed.
The question naturally arises: II
$500 is not sufficient to pay the re-
ceiver and his attorneys for eight
months what will 1t require IL drawn
out over three to five years along with
expensive litigation?
And The Herald feels that II is JUS.
tilted In calling attention to the add.
tional costs that are pillng up against
the county which the taxpayers will
have to foot.
In conclusion we assure depositors
that Messrs. Freeman, Chapman and
Eldredge will continue to exert every
effort to have the bank affairs settled
so depositors can soon have their
money, but the men who are backing
them and going to furnish the money
win not do SO unless they know where
they stand.

STATEMENT FROM MR.. GAL.
BREATH.

o. S. Galbreath, one of the attorneys
for Receiver o. +. Boyle, called at The
Herald office late this afternoon and
says that the inference in regard to
the refusal of the receiver to accept
the $500 rendered is an injustice
that neither Mr.. Boyle nor Mr.. Gal.
braith saw the petition until after the
adjournment of court. Mr.. Galbreath
adds that Mr.. McCloskey was out Of
the city and could not have seen il.
Mr.. Galbreath says further: That II
the propositions will provide for the
payment of all liabilities of the bank
including depositors, SO Mr.. Boyle will
not be held in any way for claims that
may be filed later on, he Will urge The
acceptance of the proposition to put
up $500 as offered yesterday, and
that If IL becomes necessary to secure
this acceptance he will waive all
claims he may have against the re-
ceiver.
The Herald is pleased to give space
to the above. In other parts of this
paper The Herald has made various
comments, but in the face of all that
has taken place we favor the imme-
diate getting together of all Interested
parties, the dropping of all antagon!sm
and the advice of the morning shee.

tors The Herald will drop and forget,
