"OLD BOY" WANTS TO CUT
LOOSE FOR HOME WEEK

Editor THE EVENING JOURNAL.
Dear Sir: Please permit a few
lines about Home Week after reading
the suggestion in your issue of this
date. That il might be best to OBJ
serve the fest in October agree with
this, for the reason. the Fair in Sep
tember is a State and county enter
prise, the weather is usually warm
and sultry. and folks who spend the
day at the Fair want rest and quiet
at night October is a better time
for home coming. In the language of
] Nhitcomb Riley:
when the frost is on the pumpkin
and the folders in the shock.
And you hear the kyouck and gobble
of the struttin' turkey cock.
And the cacklin' of the guineas. and
the cluckin' of the hens,
And the ROSTERS hallylooyer as he
tiptoes on the fence;
o, it's then's the time a feller is
feelin' at his best
With the risin sun to greet him from
a night of peaceful rest,
As he leaves the house bareheaded,
and goes out to feed the stock,
When the frost Is on the pumpkin and
the folders in the shock"
Didn't mean to write so much of
Riley's poetry. but couldn't stop.
Please excuse this time Now for the
new ideas for home week. Let's get
away from the psrades. they are ex-
pensive and do not help business gen
orally. First let the Chamber of Com
merce. City Council or some organiza-
ton start the movement at once Of
having banks, business houses, city
departments use special stationery,
with blue hens &icken cut printed
I'm blue, city seal, &c, inviting Della
wares children home to the old town,
have headquarters at Hotel DUPONT,
week Of October 25th TO 31st inclusive
The parties using stationery could
contribute and get value. No
money wasted here. We could arrange
entertainments at the parks and thea
tres through social and fraternal
clubs, and private parties could ar
range with City Council for band con-
certs in the evening in front of the
City Hall, arrange amusements at
Third, Fifth and Ninth and Market
streets, and have general good time
at small expense each night during the
week. Straw dances. with hoe down
music, mOnOlogues and short vaude-
vile skits will amuse, and that's what
grownup children, forty and fifty
years old, enjoy. The Eagles. who
did so well in Baltimore, could keep
their suits spick and span and favor
US one evening or Thursday after
noon, and many other ideas might be
suggested TO a committee that would
put them in shape. This plan would
eliminate graft, souvenir programs,
&C. Get busy, Mr.. Hamilton. We
will help you.

WISE WORDS
A Physician on Food.

A physician of Portland. Oregon has
views about food. He saws.
Il have always believed that the duty
Of the physician does not cease with
treating the sick. but that we owe it TO
humanity to teach them how to protect
their health especially by hygienic and
dietetic laws,
with such a feeling as to my duty.I
take great pleasure in saying to the pub
lie that in my own experience and also
from personal observation | have found
no food TO equal Grape Nuts and that
find there is almost no limit to the great
benefit this food will bring when used in
all cases of sickness and convalescence.
lit is my experience that no physical
condition forbids the use of Grape Nuts
To persons in health there is nothing so
nourishing md acceptable to the stom-
ach especially at breakfast TO start the
machinery Of the human system on the
days work. In cases of indigestion l
know that a complete breakfast can be
made Of Grape Nuts and cream and
think It Is necessary not to overload the
stomach at the morning meal. | also
know the great value of Grape-Nuts
when the stomach is too weak to digest
other food.
