WASHINGTON PARKS
NOW AT THEIR BEST

on the heights in the eastern end OF the
District.
This ambitious plan would be the work
Of a century and not a generation. but
the fact that the erection Of the Senate
and House Office buildings have been
carried on in the spaces assigned to
them, that the Mall has been cleared OF
the railroad tracks. and that the con
struetion Of the Grant Memorial is going
on in the old Botanic Garden. is proof

park commission was appointed which
thoroughly investigated the subject of
parks with a view 70 the future growth
OF the city and submitted a report which
for holiness of suggestion. cost Of real
ization. and general results by way of
artistic improvement far excells anything
ever attempted by any city in the New
World. Since the framing OF that report
there has been g general disposition on
tile part Of Congress and the departments
to follow its general lines.
Plan of the Park Commission.
In brief the plan Of the commission
was to transform the Mall into splendid
series Of gardens, filed with rare flow
ers. fanked by savannahs. and these
backed up by rows Of great public build
ings that should occupy the ground be-
tween the present Mall and Pennsyl-
vania avenue. The general plan was to
carry the hail on to the Potomac River,
with the Giant Memorial at one end and
the Lincoln Memorial at the ether, with
the Mckinley Memorial Bridge extending
across the Potomac to Arlington and the
National Cemetery in Virginia.
II was further proposed to unite the
Mall with the Geological and Rock Greek
parks, to improve them much more than
now. and TO carry across the north end
of the District a series Of parks which
would about double the acreage of the
large parks of the present day. It was
further proposed to make an extensive
park in the valley Of the Anaeostia
River and to add several reservations

ANCIENT DIE PRESERVED.

Museum CT Athens Contains Only An
tiaue Instrument for Making Coin.
Prof. X. Zengelis, writing N the Chemi-
ker zeitung, calls attention to what is
probably the only genuine antique die
used for coinage that has been preserved.
1t was found in Egypt in 1904. but is now
in the museum at Athens.
1t consists OF bronze and is engraved
with the owl that was stamped on Athe-
MAN tetradrachma pieces. which con-
tanned about as much silver as three
quarter dollars. The die is OF high sci
entifc interest on account Of the evidence
II gives OF the skill of the ancients three
or four hundred years before Christ, in
metallurgy. It contains about 2zls per
cent OF tin and nearly 70 per cent Of cop
per.
The die is extremely hard. but at the
same time possesses a certain malleabil-
ity. due TO the great purity OF the copper
and tin, which were carefully freed from
all traces Of lead and zinc 10 preserve the
hardness, and from arsenic and anthony
to avoid brlttleness.

CUBS FOOD
They Thrive on erape-Nuts.

Healthy babies don't cry and the
,well-nourished baby that is fed on
Grape-Nuts Is never a crying baby.
Many babies who cannot take any
other food relish the perfect food,
Grape1Nuts, and get well.
MY little baby was given up by
three doctors who said that the con-
densed milk on which / had fed her
had ruined the child's stomach. One
of the doctors told me that the only
thing to do would be to try Grape
Nuts. SO / got some and prepared it as
follows: 1 soaked 1-2 tablespoonfuls
in one pint of cold water for half sn
hour, then / strained off the liquid
and mixed ~ teaspoonfuls of this
strained Grape4Nuts juice with six
teaspoonfuls of rich milk, put in a
pinch of salt and a little sugar. warm
ed it and gave it to baby every two
hours
In this simple, easy way I saved
baby's life and have built her uI TO a
strong healthy child, rosy and laugh
ing. The food must certainly be per-
feet to have such a wonderful effect
as this. l can truthfully say l think
st is the best food in the world to
raise delicate babies on and is also 4
delicious healthful feed for grown-ups
as we have discovered in our family
GrapesNuts is equally valuable 10
the strong, healthy man or woman.
1t stands for the true theory of health

HERMAN BIDDER
WELL PLEASED
Prominent German Publish
er of New York, Wis
iting Florida.

Jacksonville advices say that Hon.
Herman Rbdder, pre- Sident of the
New York Staats-Zeitung treasurer of
the Associated Press, and who is pos
sibly the most prominent German
American of today, was a guest of the
Jacksonville on Thursday. He was ac-
companied by his wife and they are
making a tour OF the southern states,
having arrived yesterday morning
from st. Augustine and Palm Beach,
days enjoying the pleasures offered at
the famous resorts
An extensive program had been ar
ranged by local German citizens for
his entertainment, but owing to his
limited stay in the city the plan had
to be abandoned.
During the morning Mr.. Ridder call
ed upon the editors of the daily papers
of Jacksonville, and his visits were
most highly appreciated. He is a gen
tleman of winning personality and OF
great intelligence, and all who meet
him are impressed with his manner
and the clearness with which he ex-
presses his views on all important sub
jects.
This was Mr.. Riders first visit to
Florida, and he was profuse in his
praise of the beauties of the East
Coast and the magnificent hostelries
that comprise the Florida East Coast
Hotel System. He said that Florida
was a revelation to him, and that he
deeply regretted that he cotfW not
spend a month or more enjoying the
delights of this balmy climate.

special privilege of using the common
people as. door-mats, and answers to
the pay rolls as earl, duke, ETC.; he is
the polished jackscrew Of royalty, and
brays whenever royalty raises it's
baton; he is worked to death func-
tioning on the social plane, and the
people stand by and say MILFORD" He
is the drone of the human hive, and
when the hive gets mashed under his
weighty Importance it is simply mash
ing itself with its own folly.
And so, in these United States, un-
der different conditions, his counter
part is the hobo whom society refus-
es to adorn or adore. though society
will maintain and support him, and
then console itself by wiping its feet
upon HIM. He is component of the
American leisure class, and the re-
verse of American ideals. American
thrift is on tap for him. and he is cod.
died by American humor.
The American people are too much
interested in the activity of the times
and their own selfishness to heed this
cankerous growth, which like tere
do is boring holes through the social
fabric that may scuttle the ship.
The hobo has been lassoed at times
in communities inhabited by old wo
men and put to cracking stones, but
he caroms with the stone pile when
his geography is learned. His exam
pie is deadly precept to the defect
i've side of youth in cities, and an ap
palling blight upon the growth OF
