Jt ' The hostess of moderate means who wishes to extend the hospitality of her country house during the summer should remmebr that simplicity is far more refreshing than an elaborate meal long drawn out. Everything should be as cool and fresh looking as possible, with dishes that tax neither the servants of the house nor the appetites of the guests. For decoration wild flowers would be entirely in keeping, even though only grasses and buttercups, sweet clover and wild roses . wars obtainable.

An active bralnworker who found himself hampered by lack of bodily strength and vigor and could not carry out the plans and enterprises he knew 1 how to conduct, was led to study various foods and their effects upon the human system. In other words before he could carry out his plans he had to find a food that would carry him along and renew his physical and mental strength, '.: " He knew that a food which was a brain and nerve builder (rather than a mere fat maker) was universally needed. He knew that meat with the average' man does, not accomplish the desired results. He knew that the soft gray substance in . brain and nerve centers is made from Albumen and Phosphate of Potash obtained from food. Then he started to solve the problem.. ..... Careful and extensive experiments evolved Grape-Nuts, the now famous food. It contains the brain and nerve building food elements in condition for easy digestion. The result of eating Grape-Nuts dally is easily seen in a marked sturdiness and activity of the brain and nervous system, making it. a pleasure for one to carry on the daily duties without fatigue or exhaustion. Grape-Nuts food is in no sense a stimulant but is simply food which renews and replaces the dally waste of brain and nerves. - Its flavour is charming and being fully and thoroughly cooked - at the factory it is served instantly with cream..! . The signature of the brain worker spoken of. C W. Post, is to be seen on each genuine package or QrapeNuts. Look in pkgs. for the famous little book, "The Road to Wellville." "There's a reason."

NEW ORGANIZATION North End Business Men Met Last Night and Showed Enthusiasm. GAME IS THE PRESIDENT In order to boom the north end and arouse more interest generally in that section of the city, the business men of that part of town met last night at the Railroad store and organised what is known as the North End Business Men's Association. The meeting was a decided success and practically every business man in the north end either attended or sent word to the others to "push things along," and that they could be counted on to help in any way possible. Great interest is being manifested in the new organisation and the business men of that community are going after the thing in the right spirit. They feel that they have not had a fair deal in regard to local attractions. As a drawing card -frequent band concerts will he given, and several other attractions will be offered in near future. The following officers were elected last night; President, B. D. Game; secretary, A. F. Rost; treasurer, James Quigley. Another meeting will be called by the president soon.

They inject so much poison into you that you are dazed, your eyes roll and you stagger and , speak thickly. In a word, you're drunk." said a missionary. "In the Nyassa country I'd always start getting ready for bed and the mosquitoes an hour before sunset. I'd set up my mosquito net with the utmost; care, I'd clamp down its edges with valises and boxes. I'd light inside it three green wood fires, filling it with a bitter smoke that all insects are supposed to loathe. "Finally I'd get in myself. I'd smoke big pipes of the black native tobacco, and I'd long miserably in that hot, smoky atmosphere for the dawn. "Despite all my precautions quite 200 or 300 mosquitoes would get Inside my net as soon as darkness fell. They were like a whirlwind in there. It couldn't hare been worse. Their noise and their nipping made me feverish made me really delirious at times. "At last, in exhaustion, I'd get a few hours of troubled sleep, awakening for breakfast drunk from the poison injected by hundreds of tiny needles into ray veins.

IT WAS CLAIMED THAT PROF. SHEWMAKER " WHO DIED AT

HOSPITAL HAD BEEN VERY BADLY MISTREATED THERE. The Eastern Indiana Hospital for the Insane, located at Easthaven, a mile west of the city, has been exonerated entirely from the stigma that an effort was made to place against it at Muncie. The charges against the institution followed the death of David H. Shewmaker at the hospital. It was claimed at Muncie and given circulation in the press of that city that Shewmaker had complained against harsh treatment at the hospital. Charges of this sort are not infrequent in connection with any public institution but none has been verified since Dr. S. E. Smith has been superintendent at Easthaven. Statement of Case. In regard to the Shewmaker case a Muncie paper says: It was reported a few days ago that the late Prof. David H. H. Shewmaker who died at Easthaven hospital at Richmond last Tuesday, had been mistreated during his confinement at that institution. These conditions are declared to be untrue. The statement was made that the well known Muncie man had not been given sufficient food and that he had been compelled to witness harsh treatment towards other inmates. Dr. G. W. H. Kemper, of this city, a close personal friend of Prof. Shewmaker for many years previous to the latter's death, has issued the following statement: "Inasmuch as a recent report concerning the death of the lste Prof. David H. H. Shewmaker contained an unjust accusation against one of our honored institutions, I wish to make a portion of a letter p- which I received from Prof. E :aker a short time before bis death. The tender chord of pathos running through the letter will awaken our love and sympathy for Mr. Shewmaker, and will serve to show us that living actions are better than post mortem reflections. . Shewmaker' Opinion. The following portions of the letter touch on the subject of Prof. Shewmaker's own opinions concerning his treatment: "I received today from you the beautiful souvenir badge and program of the thirtieth annual encampment of the G. A. R. I appreciate these souvenirs for their own value. but more than all I appreciate the fact that you remembered me In that convention with ' comrades. "I have only one serious ailment and that is my heart, which is quit" serious. My nervousness is gone and my appetite is very good. I do not take much medicine here and the treatment is the same as you prescrib ed for me in the first. "I have nothing but praise for this institution and its officers and physi cians, l nave not been treated narsnly, nor have I seen any unnecessary harshness." TACTFUL CHAPERONS. Mow They Should Dispose of Undosirabl Young Men, The perfect chaperon Is born, not made, because to- be at her. best she must be constantly on guard without the appearance of watching her charges, and that means a poise and self control and an ability for 6elf effacement that the average woman does pot possess. And because of this lack , of sufficiency chaperons are frequently maligned either by parents or young folk, for if she Is too strict the latter are annoyed, and if not sufficiently so parents are displeased. The most difficult problem that a chaperon has to manage is what to do when men whom she considers undesirable talk to her charges. To give them the cut direct is rude and places her in a most unfortunate position. To show ber displeasure quietly Is not spt to be effective, for girls are likely to champion those whom they deem downtrodden, and. if the men have the least charm of manner or know how to make themselves agreeable, to snub only makes them more Interesting to the average young girl. While no chaperon Is so silly as to think that every man who meets her charge wishes to marry ber. the older woman has nevertheless to remember that he may be a possible husband, and it is imperative that the girl should be guarded from undesirable associates. Probably the best way of managing such a situation is for the chaperon to be constantly in the foreground, without the appearance of being so. not gjvlng the man any opportunity to develop the acquaintance beyond most formal Uses. Her greatest tact Hes in so managing her charges that she can retain the girl's coufidence. for so long as she tas It she will know the situation. Ouce let ber lose it. and she works In the dark, not being certain what the day may bring forth. As to how much liberty a girl may be given by ber cbaperoh in summer, one can only say it depends greatly upon the girl and her associates. If they are reliable and she is sensible there U no need of her havng a protector all the time, for ber own good sense is enough. Girls are altrsvs plren more freedon. in summer than In winter, and with a man whom she has known intimatelr and Is known to be a gentleman In the fullest sense of the, word tbete is no reason why she should not drive, sail and walk uncbaperoned.

QID VEHICLES ARE HELDVAS ItUlSANCE Court House Attaches Register a Kick. Dilapidated old vehicles that have been permitted to stand against the curbing in front of the court house for several days are being regarded as a nuisance by attaches at the building.

WOULD MAKE CHANGE Township Assessor Wants Engineer to Keep Building Records. WOULD BE IMPROVEMENT So that better trace could be kept of the permanent improvements, township assessor Potter would have the building permits issued by the city engineer instead of by the controller. The assessor says such a change would benefit his office by providing a way for him to keep track of the improvements. He would have the engineer check off the improvement on a map, 6o that as soon as a house Jis erected on a vacant lot a record would be made of it Only one complaint was registered against the additional improvements levied by the assessor this year.
