Blackburn & Christen ts A succinct and unbiased statement of the points at issue in the famous “Pious Fund” case now before The Hague arbitrators will be found in Mr. W. T. Stead’s article, entitled “The United States and Mexico at the opening of the Hague Court," in the October Review of Reviews. It is an interesting fact that the first ease to be arbitrated by the Hague tribunal should be brought to it by two American nations, and that the matter involved should be the disposition of church funds. Portraits of the arbitrators accompany Mr. Stead’s article. Brain-Food for Nonsence. Another ridiculous food fad has been branded by the most competent authorities. They have dispelled the silly notion that one kind of food is needed for brain, another for muscle, and still another for bones.
