For a number of years 1t has been the custom of those who are consid- cred the upper crust of New London society people to hold sociables or as- senfblies, four or more during the winter, and usually in the Crocker house. But these social events were not destined Go continue indefinitely. owing of course to internal disseneions and jealousies. So those who have been the prime movers in these af- fairs have not received encouragement sufficient to warrant their oontinuance and public announcement has been made of their abandonment for the present winter at least.
 This will give opportunity for those who consider themselves a step or two higher in the social ladder to make these social gatherings moro select, by holding them under different name and management. This reminds of an incl dent that occurred at one of those so- ciables some years ago in the Croclcer house. Among those fin tho cottfiion was a most estimable young man en- gagged in the market business and an- other who was a bank clerk at a small salary. The Pierpont Morgan of tho future noticed the young Armour and remarked to his lady partner that they change position. as he did not care <e dance in the same set with a butcher. Now that young butcher is one of the most prosperous merchants in Che District of Columbia and is welcomed into the most select society, where the young banker would probably not be recognized. But that was years ago, and such conditions never prevailed ~by those connected with tho moro reoeD6 asse emblies.

Mayor Mahan upon afterthoupht de- eided to give immediate consideration to the suggestion of the board of school visitors and before sunset he called a meeting of the health com mittee and health officer, which re- suited in an order that no children un- der the age of 16 be admitted to the theaters. The managers of the several playhouses readily acquiesced and the order went into force Wednesday even ing. The order was also extended to the churches and schools other than the public schools, the latter now be- ing on vacation.
 While disease Is not prevalent among the children of the city, there are many cases of diphtheria. scarlet fever and measles, and Dr. Black. the efficient health officer, believes that by keep ing the children away from school. the church and the playhouse there win bo less danger of spread of disease. This action will naturally have a tendency to get the children in the open air, away from contagion, and, he believes will be for the better general health of the city.

be issued that these places be fumi- gated daily and that other improve men.s be made in the sanitary condi- tions.
 Mayor Mahan has full power to issue the orders indicated by the board of school visitors and he has taken the matter under consideration, as he does not desire to act hastily on a matter of so much importance. but he says that from a superficial examination ha was of opinion that the suggestion of the school board should be promul- gated in official orders and then strict ly enforced. He did not desire to do an injustice to the management of the playhouses in interest, but of course the public health was para mount to the financial considerations of the moving picture and vaudeville houses.
 At every performance given in these playhouses every seat is occupied and standing room is not always avail able, and there are always many chil- dren who are of the prescribed age in the request from the school board to the mayor. The mayor has prom ised to call a meeting of the health committee and, then if it is deemed proper, he will issue the orders that will bar children from the moving picture shows.

FROM THE BENCH
A Judge Commands Pure Food.

A Judge of a Colorado Court said
NEARLY one year ago l began the use OF
Grape-Nuts as a food. Constant c~onfine-
ment indoors and the monotonous grind
Of office duties had so weakened and inn
paired my mental lowers that l felt the
imperative need OF something which
neither doctors nor food specialists seemed
able to supply.
A weeks use of Grape-Nuts twice
each day convinced me that some un-
usual and marvellous virtue was con-
tanned therein. My mental vigor returned
with astonishing rapidity; brain weari-
ness (from which l had constantly suf-
fered) quickly disappeared, clearness OF
thought and intellectual health and activ-
ity which 1 had never previously known
were TO me the plain results Of a few
months use OF this food.
"Unhesitatingly / commend Grape-Nuts
as the most remarkable food preparation
which science has ever produced so far
as my knowledge and experience extends. d
The Judge Is right. Grape Nuts food
is a certain and remarkable brain builder
and can be relied upon. There's q
Reason"
