HIS PERIODS OF RELAXATION.

The change from rollicking gaiety to

that described by William Toynbee, in
'Mr. Pitt in Private Life" an article
published in the Westminster Review.
That great statesman, upon whose
word so many tremendous issues
hung, was in the habit of retiring to
his country house for seasons of relaxa-
tion. There he dropped his character
OF august prime minister and became
for the time romping schoolboy.
One day he had been skylarking
with his, young friends. He rushed

and proceeded with the game. When
that was finished, Pitt said that he
must attend to the two noble lords,
and retired to his dressing room to re-
pair damages. Presently he returned
and remarkable transformation took
place.
Standing In the middle of the room.
the prime minister drew himself up to
full height of unapproachable dignity.
To the astonishment Of the young
people present the two lords came into
the room almost on their hands and
knees. and with abject obsequiousness
explained the object of their visit.
Mr.. Pitt listened with an air OF dis

SURPRISED HIM
Doctors Test Of Food.

A doctor in Kansas experimental

gives the particulars. He says:
Il naturally watch the effect of diff.
ferent foods on patients. My own lit.
tie son, a lad of four, had been Ill
with pneumonia and during his conva-
lescence did not seem to care for any
kind of food.
Il knew something of Grape-Nuts
and its rather fascinating flavor. and
particularly of its nourishing and
nerve-building powers, so 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, 70 years
old. came down with serious stomach
trouble and before 1 was called had
got SO weak he could eat almost moth.

I Immediately put him on Grape
Nuts with good, rich milk and Just a
little pinch of sugar. He exclaimed
when 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 little
with rice or an egg or two. He got
entirely well in spite of his almost
hopeless condition. He gained 22
pounds in two months which at his
age is remarkable.

LESSON IN NATURAL HISTORY
Amusing, But Somewhat Expensive as Miss Patty Realized When
 the Goat Was Through.

Miss Patty Shepard of North Thir- teenth street went to the country with a party of friends on Memorial day. They stopped at a farmhouse where some of the party are well known.
 Browsing about was an old goat. When Miss Patty saw her the nanny was plaeidly nibbling at few blades of grass, and she innocently thought that goats were strictly yegetarians. On the lawn in front Of tho porch she had put her handsvme new peach basket hat, trimmed with pretty ar- tifcial roses, which she had got from the store the night before The goat saw the hat and advanced joyfully to- ward it. Miss Patty laughed. The old thing thinks they're real roses, she laughed. Wont she be fooled when she smells them?'
 Everybody sat still to watch the goat smell the artificial flowers and walk away. But the goat fooled them.
 The next week Miss Patty bought another hat-Philadelphi Times.

 Meanwhile Lester was riding slowly on. For some distance the road was a narrow one between two lines of mountains.

BUILDING OF CITIES

The conference Of national interests on the subject of the building of cities. at Washington. has taken up a big subject. says the Buffalo Express. Just what progress it can make with an important problem remains to be seen. We all realize that almost no cities are built as they should be. AL most no cities are built in circum- stances that will permit them to be built as they should be. The few ex- captions are cities like Gary. Ind, which is built from nothing to a full grown community at once. Most cities are merely matter Of growth. They have small beginnings. and as the community grows it provides for it's immediate needs as they arise. The small community canot afford to look very far ahead. 4 comparatively few years at the most is all that can be considered. So when the community outgrows the needs for which it pro vided a few years before, 1t has sim ply to do the work over again on 8 little larger scale. If the modern city could be planned and built at the out set on scale which would probably provide for it's needs many years ahead then it would avoid many of the evils from which the average city suffers. And 1t could safeguard it's own rights and have the enjoyment of many improved conditions which would be very difficult and very costly to obtain at the present time.
