MUSIC AND SMILES
 AT THE NEW GRAND
Last Nights Performance Decidedly Better than the Preceding One and Followed by a Jolly Dance.

Two old Sports" met a good house at the Grand last night and received more appreciation than was the case on Sunday night. The swing and go that Is so characteristic of all of Friedlander's staging was present. and all of the akward pauses absent. The music was better. chorus work smoother and smiles more in abundance. Although the production is not strong of comedy plot, allowing an innumerable num- Der of openings for mOnolOgue work, as well as song hits, yet the audience does not care, for the vaudeville work is good, smile producing and whole some.
 Nan Halperin's monOlOgue work in the Olio, made a hit, and though she was bothered by clumsy scene shift ing during her act, she presented the best piece of individual work since her stay here.
 Orvey J. Post as Percy Wildwave, brought down the house with his Reginald" character work, and also with one of the best song hits of the production, Two Brown Eyes"
 Grace Wolf, who has a reputation all over the country, winning several international buck and wing prizes, captivated her audience and was call ed out again and again.
 For chorus work and ballet danc- ing. Evelyn Bunnin has again and again shown herself to be the head liner of the company. She has a way and manner, though quiet and unas- stunning that takes with the audience.
 Corinne Carkeek as Mrs. Mooney, handles a small part and expands 1t with character that takes.
 All in all the performance of last night took favorably and will un- doubtedly draw again tonight.
 A large number remained for the after dance. which lasted until nearly and was greatly enjoyed by the younger people.

SURPRISED HIM,
Doctors Test of Food.

A doctor in Kansas eXperimented with his boy in a test of food and gives the particulars. He says:
 "I naturally watch the effect of diff ferent foods on patients. My own lit tie son, a lad of four. had been i'll with pneumonia and during his cOnvales- cence did not seem to care for any kind of food.
 q knew something of Grape Nuts and it's rather fascinating favour and particularly of its nourishing and nerve-building powers. so I started the boy on Grape-Nuts and found from the first dish that he liked it.
 His mother gave it to him steadily and he began to improve at once. In less than a month he had gained about eight pounds and soon became so well and strong we had no further anxiety about him. @
 An old patient of mine. 73 years old. came down with serious stomach trouble and before I was called had got so weak he could eat almost noth- ing. and was in a serious condition He had tried almost every kind of food for the sick without avail.
 T immediately put him on Grape Nuts with good, rich milk and just a little pinch of sugar. He exclaimed when I came next day Why doctor never ate anything so good or that made me feel so much stronger
 Il am pleased to say that he got well on Grape-Nuts, but he had to stick to it for two or three weeks, then he began to branch out a little with rice or an egg or two. He got entirely well in spite of his almost hopeless condi- tion He gained p pounds in two months which at his age is remark able.
 q could quote a list of cases where has worked wonders"

 Ever read the above letter? A new one appears from time to time. They are genuine, true, and full of human interest.

Occasionally his mind grew clear,

PECULIAR OPTICAL EFFECTS

If one places a pin head up close to

stead of seeing the pin right side up
il Will appear inverted Also the head
of the pin appears transparent and
things may be seen as easily through
1t as though a sheet of isinglass, the
head appearing simply as a large
round cloud. If it is placed somewhat
closer no pin or head can be seen at
all.
If one gets into very dark room
and puts a lighted candle near the
side of one eye very pretty and pc
culiar effects are observed. "A Lracery,
forming a regular network, can be
easily detected, and this is merely the
shadow thrown by the candle on the
retina of the eye of the small capillary
blood vessel between the retina and
the candle.
If one looks to the side of a dim
