PUZZLED
Hard, Sometimes, to Raise Children.

Children's taste is ofttimes more
accurate. in selecting the right kind Of
food to fit the body. than that of adults.
Nature works more accurately through
the children.
A Brooklyn lady says: Our little boy
had long been troubled with weak
digestion. We could never persuade
him to take more than one taste Of
any kind of cereal food. He was q
weak little chap and we were puzzled
to know what to feed him on.
zone lucky day we tried Grape-Nuts.
Well, you never saw child eat with
such a relish, and 1t did me good to
see him. From that day on it seemed
as though we could almost see him
grow. He would eat Grape-Nuts for
breakfast and supper, and think he
would have liked the food for dinner.
THE difference in his appearance
is something wonderful.
my husband had never fancfed
cereal foods of any kind, but he be-
came very fond of Grape-Nuts and has
been much improved in health since
using 1t.
I'VE are now healthy family and
naturally believe in Grape-Nuts.
"a friend has two children who were
formerly afflicted with ricketts,. was
satisfied that the disease was caused
by lack of proper nourishment. The
children showed it. So ! urged her
to use Grape-Nuts as an experiment
and the result was almost magical.
They continued the food and to-
day both children are as well and
strong as any children in this city,
and, of course. my friend is firm be-
lever in Grape-Nuts, for she has the
evidence before her eyes every day"

000th of an inch. This instrument will
in all probability be the most delicate
measuring instrument of its kind for
many years to come. 1t is practically
impossible for the human mind to
realize the smallness of the distance
measurable by the compound inter.
ferometer, which is 400 times as pow
erful as the most perfect compound
microscope. but some idea can be
formed by the use of comparisons
This 1-20.000,000th Of an inch is the
apparent size of the head Of an ordi-
nary pin viewed at distance Of 227
miles. or the size Of a so cent piece
viewed at distance Of 5000 miles.
or the size of a human face viewed at
distance equal to twice the circum-
ference Of our mother earth.

he is informed that within twenty

have never seen a white man. and
who live by the spear and the blow

that elephants and rhinoceroses are

Sashes and TuIIe skirts.

One OF the difficulties about the
very full skirts is that they sometimes
look bulky, and are bulky, about the
waist and hips. The Paris dressmak-
,ers have been trying various expe-
dents to overcome this bulkiness ever
since they began to experiment with
the full skirts. With tulle skirt per-
haps the best way is to have sash,
either a narrow band or wide. soft
ribbon folded narrow. fastened rather
loosely about the hips. Y restraints the
excessive fullness. but at the same
time does not form a harsh line

Never in the history of the Ard.
more city schools was the spirit of
cooperation made more manifest than
was shown at the recent meeting of
the Mothers Club of the Fourth ward
held Thursday, March 16. The pro-
gramme for the entertainment was
gotten up by the pupils of the Third
grade under the direction of their
teacher, Miss Eugenie Nivoche. It
consisted of the little play, THE
Sleeping Beauty given in costume
with stage decorations in orange and
green Each pupil acquitted himself
very satisfactorily to their teacher,
and TO the entire satisfaction and en-.
Joyment of the mothers and all pres.
ent. But one thing marred the rem.
dtion of the little play, and that was
lack of room for the large attendance
to all see the play at one time. on
this account it was necessary for a
portion of the large audience to see
it, then file out into the hall and the
other portion 90 i'm and see the second
performance. The audience was so
well pleased with it that they insisted |
on its being given in the auditorium |
of the High school on Monday night. |
March 20, and an admission fee of
five and ten cents will be charged
all school children being admitted for
five cents. The proceeds of the play
in the High school will be used by
the Mothers Club in helping the poor
children of the First ward in getting
costumes for use in the MAY Day
exercises to be held at the close of
school. Another very satisfactory ,
feature of Thursdays meeting was the
attendance of Judge HeGner. presi.
