Notwithstanding the fact that
America has now sent four sets OF
men to Oxford there seems to be
very little known about the Rhodes
Scholarships, and this is true, too, for
If It were fully realized what a great
prize they are, there would be many
times more to compete for them than
the mere handful who do now n

all the various features Of the system,
but IL may succeed IN suggesting
few ideas and in some slight degree
at least 10 get the people Of Florida
more Interested They should be in
terssted too, and strive for their best
men TO be appointed, for these scholars
are Representatives Of their state and
the better the man the more credit
to the state.
The idea with which Cecil Rhodes
founded this tremendous movement is
big and noble. His object was 20
help IN welding together the ties be-
kween the three great Anglo Saxon
POWERS. The greatness Of this pur-
pose is to be worked out by the
scholars whom Cecil Rhodes has ar
ranged to be sent annually TO oxford.
But II is not the purpose now TO en-
large on RhodeS's conception but on
the other hand. to point out what the
scholarship means to the individual
scholars.
Residence at Oxford.
The scholar takes his residence at
Oxford. He becomes member OF
the greatest university in the world.
He comes into contact with the best
minds of the age, not only in the
persons OF the professors, but Also OF
the numerous visitors. Theodore
Roosevelt is to be Oxford's guest next
March and others not less noted are
also to be her guests during the co1n-
ing year. Oxford is social even 20
the extreme. One does not merely
hear the professors and the visitors
from the platform and the pulpit, but
meets them personally at the various
social functions for which Oxford life
ia so well known. But no less IN
portant is the meeting or the stu
dents themselves. They hail from
all over the world-EurOpe, Asia, Al
RIGA and the Americas. l have often
been in a lecture room where there
were Chinese, Japanese, Germans
Russians, English and Americans
These men are to be met not only N
the lecture rooms, but on the athlet15

social affairs. What a wealth OF e1u-
cation is to be had from contact with
such a cultured and cosmopolitan set

ENGLISH ATHLETICS.
English athletics offer opportunity
for the most restless Americans.
True the game OF cricket is as slow
as the American papers love to por-
tray it, but yet during the time that
cricket is being played student has
many alternatives. First he may play
baseball, for the Americans have 'D-
troduced the game even into the
classic quiet of medieval Oxford. SO
far no English students have been
induced to play but some OF the
Colonial scholars have entered heartily

A Southern banker recently told the
following about his swear old son.

EASY FOOD.
Ready For Instant Use Without
Cooking.

Cooking.
Almost everyone likes a cereal food
of some kind at breakfast and supper,
but the ordinary way or cooking &C.
reals results in a pasty mass that is
hard to digest. and If not properly dl-
Rested, the raw mass goes down into
the intestinal tract where gas is gen.
Grated and trouble follows
Everyone knows that good fOou
properly digested keeps the DOdy wen.
while Door food, or even food of good
quality that IS poorly prepared and
not digested, Is sure to bring on some
kind OF disease.
The easiest food to digest in this
line is Grape-Nuts, made from wheat
and barley, and cooked thoroughly at
the factory, some IL to 16 hours be
Ing consumed in the different Pro
cesses of preparation. The food,
therefore, is ready for instant service
and the starch has been changed 20
a form Of sugar, so that it is pre-di-
gested and ready for almost immedi-
ate absorption.
A Chicago young lady writes that
abe suffered for years fIorn indiges-
ton and dyspepsia from the use OF
food that was not suitable TO her pow
ers OF digestion. She says:
Il began using Grape-Nuts, and l
confess TO having had q prejudice at
first, and was repeatedly urged before
I finally decided to try the food, but 1
