GROWING OLD GRACEFULLY.
The Gentle Act Of Resting and the

People Engaged in Meat
War 10 New York.
Genti|es Join Boycott Led by
The Hebrew Women.
Cooperative Shops Proposed as
Solution Of Meat Problem.

New York, April l3.-Estimates~ We're
made today that more than 100000
residents of the East Side and Brook
Ign are engaged in the war started by
women several days ago against the
Kosher butcher shops because of
sharp advance in the price of meat.
Hundreds of shops have closed and
volunteers among the women were out
in numbers today as pickets, warning
the daring dealers who showed sings
of opening their shops. Threats OF
magistrates to send women arrested
for rioting to the workhouse, had little
effect in quieting disturbances, which
were reported from all parts of the
district.
Many Gentiles who had been pur-
chasing meat from the Kosher shops
because it was cheaper, joined their
Hebrew neighbors today in their boy
colt movement. Cooperative shops
are proposed to solve the problem of
lower prices and contributions are be-
ing taken today to start the first one
and see how the experiment will work

KEEPS FISH WITHOUT WATER.
Woman Makes Discovery of Great
Value To the Government.

Mrs. Frank NJ. Johnson, wife of a Bos-
ton surgeon, has devised a method of
keeping fish alive without water. Both
Mrs. johnson and her husband are deep
ly interested in fish culture and have at
Springfield, N. H., a private fishery of
their own. Mrs. Johnson, who is now
staying in New York, gives this account
of her device:
Il first took a large glass jar, much
longer than wide, in the bottom of which
l placed a thick pad of dampened felt.
Then near the top of the jar l put in an
intake tube on one side and an exhaust
tube on the other. Midway in the jar !
put a little screen shelf on which l laid
the fish. After moistening its gillS with
water ! closed the top of the jar and
started oxygen to work. simply pumping
it in the jar in the ordinary way. | not
only kept the first fish alive, but expert
mented on others. and they thrived for
days and weeks
But what keeps the fish from Topping
about on the screen in the manner of
fish when out of water?"
Because it is intoxicated. The fish is
simply drunk with oxygen and lies there
initiating its gils as regularly as when
in water.
You can imagine how valuable this
discovery may prove to Government
hatcheries when you stop to think that
in shipping fish across the continent to
stock streams and rivers the Government
uses an especially arranged car for its
purposes. This is so built that the water
order to supply fresh oxygen. which not
only keeps the fish agitated but often re-
suits in great loss of life as well.
"a car built on the oxygen plan. which
I have now proved to be practical, will
keep the fish quiet and the oxygen will
keep them alive until they reach their
destination. when they can be returned
to the water.-New York Sun.

PAsTY FOOD
Too Commonly Used.

The use of pasty cereals is not ad-
visable. A physician SAYS: "Pasty
cereals are very indigestible and a bad
thing for the stomach, causing a de-
pressed feeling and quite a train OF
disorders, particularly of the intestines
and nerves.
Cereals. such as wheat and oats, can
be cooked long enough and well
enough to fit them for human use but
the ordinary way Of cooking leaves
them in a pasty condition"
A gentleman from Evansville, Ind.
says:
My physician prohibited the use of
oats and wheat for | was in a bad
condition physically, with pronounced
dyspepsia.
He said the heavy paste was indi-
gestible but that Grape Nuts, being a
thoroughly cooked food and cooked in
such manner as to change the starch
into a peculiar sugar. could be easily
digested.

Grape Nuts and all the uncomfortable
