Eight Grade Exercises

AT the close of the graduating
exercises last Friday evening the
following eighth grade pupils gave
an Indian drill entitled Indian
Hunters and Huntresses:" Alice
Currier, Vera Humphrey, Pauline
Parlin, Minnie Albee, and Doris
Foster. They carried bows and
arrows and were dressed in Indian
garb, the boys wearing blankets
over their shoulders. They were
surely typical Indians and the
audience almost believed they had
returned to the pioneer days.
This was followed by Ruth Cur
rier's solo which was enthusiastic
cally applauded.
The proverbial mother-in-law al
ways carries with it a tone of
humor, and when the play, "My
Mother-In-Law" was presented it
provoked continuous laughter from
start to finish. The young artists
showed remarkable dramatic ability
considering their years. They
were Ralph McKelvey, Leila
Barnes, Hortense Mackay, Ultruda
Cilley, Peter Finn and Edna Fin
negan.

DIET FOR THE BRAlN-WORKER
Should Be That Nourishins to the
Whole Body, With Special Refer
ence to Nervous System.

A great deal has been said about
the value of certain articles as brain
food, and one of the pet theories Of
popular physiology has been that fish
and other substances composed large
ly Of phosphorus are the most appro-
pirate diet for brain-workers But
modern science is emphasizing that
the best food for the brain is that
which nourishes the whole body, with
special reference to the nervous sys-
tenn.
Brain power is largely an express
sion through the nerves of bodily vi.
tality. In discussing this point in a
recent treatise. DR.. George M. Beard
says that the diet of brain-workers
should be of large variety, delicately
served, asundantly nutritious, of which
fresh meat should be prominent con
stituent.
In vacations, or wherever 1t is de-
sired to rest the brain, fish may, to a
certain extent, take the place of meat.
He says we should select those arti-
cles that are most agreeable to our
individual tastes and so far as pos
sible we should take our meal amid
pleasant social surroundings.
In great crises that call for unusual
exertion we should rest the stomach,
that for the time the brain may work
the harder, but the deficiency of nu.
triton ought always to be supplied in
the first interval of repose.

Pains and Aches
Caused by Kidneys

Many women attribute ailments
ana entering to some disease pecu-
liar 10 their sex, when often the
pain and misery is caused by weak
or derangod kidneys. Homework,
office work or factory work may
start the trouble, and dizzy spells.
pufIiness under eyes, sore muscles,
stiff joints, discolored or scanty urine,
sleep disturbing bladder ailments,
rheumatism or diabetes may result.
When the kidneys are strong and
healthy they filter out from the blood
the poisonous waste matter. When
they are sluggish or overworked they
need a medicine to clean them out
and invigorate action. Foley Kidney
Pills are prepared expressly for the
purpose OF dissolving all poisonous
substances and uric acid that lodge
in the joints and muscles and to
cleanse and strengthen stopped-up,
inactive kidneys.A Thousands of men
and women in all parts Of the county
testify to the wonderfully satisfac-
tory results they have had from taxi
ing Foley Kidney Pills.

PROLOGUE E.

The action Of the story has its real
beginning on an ocean liner bound for
Europe and just leaving New York.
II has been boarded In haste on a win
ter day by Overton Brill. III impetu-
GUS wealthy young bachelor. who. at
tracted by n pretty girl accompanied
by an elderly gentleman. has followed
them aboard. Brill was on his way
uptown with Aristides Stebbins. his
valet. known as Jay. when he saw the
girl. just after purchasing n valuable
bracelet MS n gift for n Miss Carstairs.
The passenger list reveals the names
OF the pursued as Mr.. Andrew Jenni-
son and daughter. Brill finds himself
without money and ~negotiates with a
dark individual named Benedict for
the sale of the bracelet. receiving 500
for 1t. with which he secures a de luxe
cabin. At dinner the conversation turns
to the weather. and n Professor Penny
thorpe's storm prediction is placed be
fore Captain Humphries for judgment.
Brill makes the acquaintance OF Mr..

after this be Is rewarded by a smile
from Marion ~Jcnnison for a small
courtesy. Marsh Is Informed that he
has been selected to take charge Of the

Perhaps ventured Brill. "he had

Hasn't done any slowing down. as

Here's Stebbins. fresh from the

.Aristides shook his head slowly and
solemnly. MS If the idea We're too friv-
olous to entertain.
"IIas speed s~lackenedy" asked Marsh.
NO. indeed. Mr.. Tyson says that
ever since yesterday the bridge has
been calling for more speed. lie can't

Brill and Marsh soon discovered that
the III reports Of iceberes and heavy
fogs had spread among the passengers.
In the main saloon. especially. little
groups had formed TO discuss the phe-
nomena and their probable effect on
the voyage. From the center of one
knot of rather tall men and women
came the voice of a man invisible. Its
sonorous cadence, however, proclaimed
