NO MEDICINE
But a Change Of Food Gave Relief.

Many persons are learning that
drugs are not the thing to re>uild
worn out nerves, but proper food Is
required.
There is certain element in the
cereals, wheat, barley, etc., which is
grown there by nature for food to brain
and nerve tissue. This is the phos-
phate Of potash, of which Grape-Nuts
food contains large proportion.
In making this food all the food ele-
ments in the two cereals, wheat and
barley, are retained. That is why so
many heretofore nervous and run down
people find in Grape-Nuts true nerve
and brain food.
II can say that Grape-Nuts food has
done much for me as a nerve renew
er," writes a Wis. bride.
"A few years ago, before my mar
riage, I was a bookkeeper in a large
drm. became SO nervous toward the
end of each week that it seemed I
must give up my position, which
could not afford to do.
Mother purchased some Grape Nuts
and we found it not only delicious but
noticed from day to day that was
improving until finally realized I was
not nervous any more.
II have recommended It to friends
as a brain and nerve food, never hav-
ing found its equal: I owe much to
Grape-Nuts as it saved me from 4
nervous collapse, and enabled me to
retain my position."-

How to Tell = Good School.

How to Tel, a Good School.
Even more indicative Of the inner
spirit Of a school, however, are the lit
tie indications given by the talk Of
boys: at home on their vacations, says
Appleton's Magazine. Don't make the
mistake of believing what, they tell
you about the lessons, or the food, or
even the prowess Of the football team.
A boy is an inveterate geheralizer and,
moreover, you are quite likely to mis-
understand his terminology.. He will:
tell you that the food is 'rotten."
that the milk is always sour, that Mr..
So-and-so is a fearful SOAK" and
gives out a hundred lines of Virgil TO-
lesson right straight along, and that:
the football team has never been
beaten; all of which will only mean
that sometimes it has happened that
the food was not above criticism,
the milk was sour, Mr.. So-and-so gave
out long lesson, and the football
team has won. No, don't try to pump
him about the school, but just notice
how he talks of it, and of the masters.
II he fires up when you suggest that
there is anything to criticise in it. if
he speaks of this or that master with
a gentle suggestion of affection in his
voice, and more especially if he does
not try to entertain you with stories
of how this or that boy beat out" this
or that master, then the chances are
that he goes to a good school,.

II the world had not passed beyond
the age Of myth-making, the disaster
in southern Italy would be ascribed to
the turning of Enceladus in his Sleep
Enceladus was one of the giants who
rebelled against Jupiter. He was killed
by one of Jupiter's thunderbolts, &C.
cording to Virgil, and buried under
Mount Etna When he turns in his
grave the earth quakes, and when he
breathes the mountain belches forth
fire and smoke. 1t was the peculiar
round Sicily and the Strait of Messina
that gave rise to many of the ancient
myths. The rock of Scylla, dangerous
to navigators, was believed to be the
home of monster which seized the
sailors from the decks of the ships
that passed too near. The whirlpool
Of Charybdis, across the strait, was
said to be caused by another monster
which swallowed the sea and spewed
it out again three times a day. The
Sirens lived on an island in the neigh
borhood and charmed sailors to their
destruction. They were finally foiled
by Odysseus, who closed the ears of
his sailors with wsx and had himself
lashed to the mast of his ship. So
chagrined were the three sisters that
they threw themselves into the sea-
and were transformed into rocky is
lands which bear their names.

Bright Scenes When President Entertains

and the military and naval attaches of
the embassies and legations.
Two great occasions on which the
White House is resplendent with the,
gorgeous uniforms of the diplomats
and our own military and naval men
are the reception of the president on
January 1, when every member of the
corps, with, his wife and daughters,
calls to wish the president a happy
New Year, and about ten days later at
the diplomatic reception prescribed by
precedent, which is the first of a
series of formal evening receptions
the president gives during the winter.
Upon numerous occasions, and al
ways at the White House, both the
head of the navy and Of the army ap-
pear in their conspicuous full dress
uniforms, which are quite as rich as
those of many of the foreign ambassa-
dors and ministers. Scarcely second
in brilliancy to the reception given by
the president to the diplomats is that
at which he is host for the army and
navy, when hundreds of the higher of,
ficers of both branches of the service
attend in their gala uniforms.
The senior aids to the president,
who make all Of the presentations to
him at all entertainments and attend
him upon all occasions, practically live
in their official regalia, while the
younger aids are almost daily called
upon to wear their best uniforms.
In fact, there is splendor about
the Official social life of the American
capital which is scarcely second to
that of any court of Europe, and which
sets it apart from all other cities of
the United States.

Not Afraid Of Ghost.
In village in England. a month or
so ago. man came running into an
inn at nine O'Clock at night and cried
out that there was ghost in his back
yard. There were IA men in the inn.
and not one of them dared to go home
with the man and Investigate. There
was a person who dared, however. and
that was the landlords daughter. girl
of IA. Some of the men followed her
at distance, and she went into the
yard and up to the ghost Tapping its
arms about, and discovered-what?
That it was no more nor less than a
mans white shirt Tapping on the
clothes line in strong breeze. That's
about the way all ghosts turn out.

PUBLICITY FOR TAX LISTS.

A bill compelling the publicity of
names of taxpayers and valuations of per-
sonal property and real estate and i'm
provements on real estate passed the low
er house ofthe legislature yesterday. The
measure is designed to prevent discrimin-
alton by assessors or dishonest appraise-
ments by property holders, and was
adopted and ordered sent to to the senate
only after heated discussion in which
a majority of the assembly participated.
The proposed enactment was introduced
by Dunning of Oyyhee who explained
that such law was in force in Nevada
with beneficial result and declared that it
would have tendency to equalize the
burden of taxation. He also asserted that
the publicity given to valuations would
serve to increase the amount paid by
property holders who now attempt to
dodge their just assessments.
