SUNDAY OPENING FOR FAIR.
Directors of A.-Y.-P. Plan to Keep
Open Seven Days a Week.

Directors of A.-Y.-P. Plan to Keep
Open Seven Days a Week.
Seattle, April 24.-The Alaska Yu-
kon-Pacific directors today voted unani-
mously to open the fair gates on Sun
day. On week days the fair will be
open from a. m. until midnight; on
Sundays from p. m. until midnight.
The same agitation against Sunday
opening that every fair in the United
States has encountered was met by
this exposition, but as the Federal gov
eminent made no loan to the Seattle
fair, settlement of the question was
left not to congress, but to the direct
ors.
Today's decision permits Sunday
opening of the "Pay Streak" which
was the chief point of attack by the
United Clergymen. Under the state
law the amusement enterprises must
be conducted quietly on Sunday, with
out "ballyhoo." The government
building will not be open, and such of
the exhibitors as desire to close will be
permitted to do so, but it is believed
all the state buildings will be open.

THE DOCTORS WIFE
Agrees with Him About Food.

A trained nurse says: I'm the
found so many points in favor of
Grape-Nuts food that 1 unhesitatingly
recommend it to all my patients.
1T is delicate and pleasing to the
palate ian essential in food for the
sick), and can be adapted to all ages,
being softened with milk or cream
for babies or the aged when deficiency
of teeth renders mastication impos-
sible. For fever patients or those on
liquid diet find 'Grape-Nuts and albu-
men water very nourishing and re-
freshing'
This recipe is my own idea and is
made as follows: Soak teaspoonful
of Grape-Nuts in glass of water for
an hour, strain and serve with the
beaten white of an egg and spoonful
of fruit juice for fiavourine. This af-
fords great deal of nourishment that
even the weakest stomach can assim-
ilate without any distress.
MY husband is physician and he
uses Grape-Nuts himself and orders it
many times for his patients.
Personally regard dish of Grape
Nuts with fresh or stewed fruit as the
ideal breakfast for anyone-well or
sick"
In any case of stomach trouble, nerv.
Gus prostration or brain flag, 10 day
trial of Grape-Nuts will work wonders
toward nourishing and rebuilding and
in this way ending the trouble.
