The germ of tbe Canadian navy fa

ganism Tbe cruiser Rainbow It la
announced will soon start from Ports-
mouth for the Pacific coast of Canada
after having been thoroughly over-
hauled and Inspected under tbe au-
thorlty of the British Admiralty The
cruiser Niobe will leave Portsmouth
for Halifax Each warship will carry
a full complement of British officers
who will serve In the Canadian navy
for two years and a “skeleton” crew
of which the members will be engaged
jfor five years says Toronto Olobe It
Is not expected that It will be at all
difficult to obtain the necessary offi-
cers and men In Canada when It be-
comes necessary to enlist them It
is interesting tb note that the first
proposal to construct a drydock of
large dimensions under the legisla-
tion of last session has been made by
the English firm of Vickers & Maxim
which has filed plans at Ottawa for
works at Montreal covering fifty acres
and costing two and a half million
dollars Tbe construction of torpedo
destroyers has long been a specialty
with this celebrated firm but far more
Important for this country is the build-
ing and repairing of steel vessels of
large size Tbe Introduction of such a
plant will mark a new stage in tbe
evolution of shipbuilding in Canada
The Chicago public school authori-
ties are preparing to establish a new
high school course of two years for
the benefit of pupils who for financial
reasons can rematn no longer in the
high schools It is believed that by
doing this many pupils who now go
out into the business world from the
Idlstrlct schools could be induced to
take a special course of two years ar-
ranged with a view to their future em-
ployment The development is in line
with effort to strengthen the public
schools as institutions for the prepa-
ration of young men and women for
the practical work of life and its out-
come will be noted with Interested by
educators
The rush to the newly-discovered
gold fields of Alaska continues and
thousands are on their way notwith-
standing tbe certainty that many hard-
ships and risk of failure to "make
good” await them And this In spite
of that alleged discovery by a Scran-
ton alchemist of a method for trans-
muting baser metals into the precious
varieties with the supposed possibil-
ities of cheapening values Evidently
the glamour of gold has not yet lost
power to lure the adventurous
Look over a crowd of men In any
place and it will be seen that black
and the darker colors predominate In
their clothes no matter how hot the
weather Besides being unnecessar-
ily uncomfortable they exert a de-
pressing effect upon both wearer and
beholder A freer use of colors In
men’s clothing would make the world
a brighter place for most of us
A Pennsylvania man has gone Into
bankruptcy with liabilities of 1446
773 Some of the actors who have
gone into bankruptcy will be surprised
to learn that his assets amount to
considerably more than the price of
an overcoat with a fur collar
At a class dinner of a woman's col-
lege it developed that of the senlora
fourteen were brides-to-be This
doesn’t look as If Dan Cupid were
worrying much over the higher edu-
cation as a serious obstacle to bis

Why can’t people learn to ?ay the
“better’’man won instead of tbe "best"
man when but two contend? How
can we hope to be a great people as
long as the populace will be so care-
less? Bethlehem Pa reports that the In-

The Nurse’s Opinion
A nurse had been called as a wit-
ness to prove the correctness of the
bill of a physician
“Let us get at the facts in the
case” said the lawyer who was do-
ing a cross-examination stunt “Didn’t
the doctor make several visits after
the patient was out of danger 7’’
“No sir” answered the nurse “I
considered the patient In danger as
long as the doctor continued his vis-
its” What They Did With Them
An American who spends much of
his time In England tells of a cockney
who went to a dealer In dogs and thus
described what he wanted “Hi wants
a kind of dog about so ’igh an’ sojong
Hit’s a kind of gr’y’ound an’ yet It
ain’t a gr’y’ound because ’is tyle is
shorter nor any o’ these ’ere gr’y’ounds
an’ ’is nose Is shorter an’ ’e ain’t so
slim round the body But still ’e’s
a kind o’ gr’y’hound Do you keep such
dogs ?” “We do not” said the dog man
“We drown ’em”
A COOL
PROPOSITION
And a Sure One
The Body Does Not Feel Heat
Unpleasantly If It has
Proper Food —
Grape-Nuts
People can live in a temperature
which feels from ten to twenty degrees
cooler than their neighbors enjoy by
regulating the diet
The plan is to avoid meat entirely for
breakfast use a goodly allowance of
fruit either fresh or cookei Then fol-
low with a saucer containing about four
heaping teaspoonfuls of Grape-Nuts
treated with a little rich cream Add to
this about two slices of crisp toast with
& meager amount of butter and ana
cup of well-made Postum
By this selection of food the bodily
energy is preserved while the hot cai
bonaceous foods have been left out
The result Is a very marked difference
in the temperature of the body and
to this comfortable condition Is added
the certainty of ease and perfect diges-
tion for the food being partially pre-
digested Is quickly assimilated by tha
digestive machinery
Experience and experiment In food
and Its application to the human body
has brought out these facts They
can be mads use of and add materially
to tbe comfort of the user
