Edward Hart.
A Useful Citizen.

Henry Clay Weeks, who died yester- day at his home at Bay Side, L. l., was a more useful citizen than many a man more widely known.
 In Cuba they traced the diSsemina- ton of yellow fever to the mosquito, while in Panama they indicted the in sect for spreading malaria MT. Weeks
 proved, here on Long Island, that the proper care be taken to drain swamps and stagnant pools and to close up other breeding grounds, like rain bar rels and discard tin cans. Until MT Weeks made his desonstration-in the face of widespread disbelief and a good deal of ridicule-a summer resort which got the reputation of being in- fested with mosquitoes was damaged irreparably. Noy all that a place so afflicted has to do is spend money in the ways which Mir. Weeks pointed out to free itself from the pest. and then give a demonstration of it's inn
 proved condition through an entire summer. Just now the batteries of the sanitary reformers are trained on the villainous house fly, propagator of various diseases. Mir. Weeks dem onstration of the possibility of driving out mosquitoes preceded the war on the house fly, which received momen- tu1n from the success of the earlier crusade.
 Aside from the work for which Ee is best known. MT. Weeks was a citf- zen who dared to maintain ms rights even at the expense of a. good deal of trouble and unpleasant conspicuity. His fight against the fastening of telephone wires to his trees was worth a good deal as an example of civic spirit and of praiseworthy and rare independence. His sterling character and invigorating example will be mis- sed by his Long Island neigshbors and his death will be regretted through a wide circle to which he became known through his extensive historical re- searches.-BrookIyn Eagle.

MACS LUCK The Young Woman Reporters Story.

The following food tale written by a clever young newspaper woman is a true story that came under her per sonal observations:
 T have been with the - Ca paper in a Calif. town) for nine years, and Mac has been with us all that time, and do not know how much longer.
 Last winter and the winter before. Mac probably from constant night work and improper food. got badly run he did eat did not do him much good. and he always complained he could not keep warm.
 T missed him for awhile until yes terday I overlook him on the street going toward the office and hardly familiar walk I should surely have passed without recognizing him. He was stout, his face was round / and ruddy and his eyes bright as I had never seen them before
 "I said, Mac, I hardly knew you what on earth have you been doing to get so fat?" He replied. Grape Nuts, nothing else. l started in on Grape Nuts food three months ago when I weighed 126 and was feeling miserable but now I weigh 160 and feel better than I ever felt in my life. I quit my old diet and went on Ora Nuts and that's the whole story"
 Exercise Is necessary but there's no nourishment in it. and proper food alone can supply that. Grape Nuts for 10 days is a pleasant trial and proves big things.
 There's a Reason.
