some uneasiness began to be mani
tested respecting the ultimate inten-
tons Of the commissioners. To cut a
long story short, as fast as the various
terraces encircling the park and the
detached villas within the Enclosure
were completed the public were ex-
cluded from the park LANDS either OPP
poslte or round and about the houses
till finally they found themselves shut
out of the park entirely.
This infringement Of the rights of
the public (for the improvements were
paid for out Of the public purse) IA
very gradual and insiduous. The park
took nearly thirty years to lay out
and build, and it was not till 1888 that
Londoners woke up to the fact that
while a vast space had been preserved
from the encroachment of mean build
ings, they had lost the time-honored
use Of 1t for recreation and exercise.
In that year the commissioners gave
the public access to a small strip on
the eastern side.
This concession vas speedily fol-
lowed by an agitation against the
whole policy OF Regents park. In
April. 1841, Lord Nugent presented an
address to the queen from the neigh
boring parishes praying her majesty
TO throw the entire park open to the
public. The queen personally investi-
gated the subject and came to the coz
clusion that the rights Of the public
had been grossly violated. BY her or
ders the whole park was thrown open
on August 15, 1841, and simultaneously
the government purchased Primrose
hill from the Elton college estate and
added 1t to the park,

London.-The present year is the
centenary of Regents Park, the larg-
est one in London. That is, 1t is just
one hundred years since the govern
ment took hold of the project Of form
ing a park out of the pasture land
known as Marylebone Farm and
Fields. With its annexes the Regents
park Of today covers over four hun
dred acres.
The land was formerly the outer
park attached to the royal mansion of
Henry VIII. and was a favorite hunt
Ing ground of the Tudors. Here
Queen Elizabeth entertained the Rus
sian ambassadors with a stag hunt.
During the eighteenth century Maryle-
bone park, split up into dairy farms,
was one Of the principal sources of
the milk supply of London, and these
fields were intersected by footpaths
which formed favorite promenades for
the pent-up Londoner.
According to a government survey
made in 1894, Marylebone park con.
tanned 543 acres. Shortly after this
survey premiums were offered by the
government for the best plans for
building on the estate as % as the
leases should fall in. Nash's plan to
form a public park, interspersed with
a few palatial villas, and to let the
adjoining ground on building leases
for the erection of high class resi-
dences, was ultimately adopted.
1t was decided to name this orna.
mental Enclosure after the prince re-
gent, who, it was said, intended build
ing a residence in the park, but this
plan, If ever entertained, vas aban-
doned. The present park was com
menced early in 1912 and for several
years the site presented "a most ex.
traordinary scene of digging, exca-
waiting and building, and seemed more
like a work Of general destruction
than anything else"
The commissioners Of woods and
forests resolved to lay out and plant
the whole domain according to the
plan before permitting any building
operations inside. Accordingly, the
first thing they did was to demolish
the farmhouses and taverns and stop
up the footpaths within the inclos-
ure.
When the project of making the
park vas sanctioned by act of parlia-
ment, the public had no inkling that
they might be deprived Of the priv
ilege of using it. In 1914, however,

NO MEDICINE
But Change Of Food Gave Final Relief.

Most diseases start in the alimen-
fary canal-stomach and bowels.
A great deal of our stomach and
bowel troubles come from eating too
much starchy and greasy food.
The stomach does not digest any
Of the starchy food we eat-white
bread, pastry potatoes, oats, ETC.
these things are digested In the small
intestines, and If we eat too much, as
most Of us do, the organs that should
digest this kind Of food are overcome
by excess of work, SO that fermenta-
ton, indigestion, and a long train of
ails result.
Too much fat also is hard to digest
and this is changed into acids, sour
stomach, belching gas, and a bloated,
heavy feeling.
In these conditions a change from
indigestible foods to Grape-Nuts will
work wonders in not only relieving
the distress but In building up a
strong digestion, clear brain and
steady nerves. A Wash. woman

The West Grand Boulevard M. f.
church, one OF the most progressive

made arrangements TO have a direct
wire into the church on election
night, 10 give full returns on the cleo
ton as they come IN. Bulletins will
be received from all over the country
and the wire will be kept open as
long as bulletins continue to come in.
A serve-self lunch counter will be

The West Grand Boulevard church
moved into its building, corner OF the
Boulevard and Twelfth-st., only about
a year ago, the edifice being dedicat.
ed. Dec. 10. 1911. Provisions have
been made for growth, however, as
the lot which was purchased has a
frontage OF 100 feet on the boulevard
and depth OF over two hundred feet
on Twelfth-st.
Rev. George Z. Cullen, who was
assigned to the church by the Sep
TENDER conference, is considered one
OF the rising young ministers in
Methodism. He has established
high reputation as preacher and
orator and has shown himself pro-
gressive in all directions.

ing to furnish election returns be-
cause we would far rather have peo-
pie listen TO them In the church than
in the neighborhood saloon. If the
church is to compete with the sa-
looms. it must leave men no reason

have arranged to furnish election re-
turns In the church to bring the men
who are interested in them under a
good and wholesome influence, rather
than a bad one. IL is the sort OF
thing the church must do IL IL is to
play IT'S full part in the social and
civic life OF the community, besides
the religious side. Anything that
will attract people to church and keep
them away from places where they
should not be is good thing, and we
are going 10, furnish election returns
on that ground"
The West Grand Boulevard church
showed It's energy and progressive
ness in The Times label contest, last
year, when It was barely organized,
finishing third in the contest, with a
