THE WAY OCT
Change of Food Brought Success u0
Happiness.
An ambitious but delicate girl,
after failing to go through school on
account of nervousness and hysteria,
found In Grape-Nuts the only thing
that seemed to build her up and fur
nish her the peace of health.
"From infancy," che says, "I have
not been strong. Being ambitious to
learn at any cost I finally got to the
High School, hut soon had to aban
don toy studies on account of nervous
prostration and hysteria.
"My food did not agree with me, I
grew thin and despondent. I could
not enjoy the simplest social affair
for I suffered constantly from nerv
ousness in spite of all sorts of medi
cines. "This wretched condition contin
ued until I was twenty-five, when I
became interested In the letters of
those who had cases like mine and
who were being cured by eating
Grape-Nuts.
"I had little faith but procured a
box and 'after the first dish I ex
perienced a peculiar satisfied feeling
that I had never sained from any
ordinary food. I slept and rested
better that night and in a few days
began to grow stronger.
"I had a new feeling of peace and
restfuinoss. In a few weoks, to my
great. Joy, the headaches and nerv
ousness left me and life becam
bright and hopeful. I resumed my
studies and later taught ten months
with ease of course using Grape
Nuts every day. It Is now four years
since I began to use Grape-Nuts, I
am the mistress of a happy home and
the old weakness has never re
turned." ' Name given by Postum

He Handles the Guest Whose Nerves Make Him Irritable
The Division of Walters Into Squsds and
Their Hours of Employment.
. There aro just about fifteen thou-'
and first-class waiters in the United
8tates, according to Augusts Webn,
president of the administration of
L'Unlon Gonevolse in tho United
States, and until recently a dining
room captain in the Hotel Astor. By
the phrnse "ftrst-Mnss waiter" is
meant one who Is thoroughly versed
in all branches of the trade, besides
being able to speak several lan
guages. Eight thousand of these men nre
members of the L'Unlon Genevolse,
ttnd are mostly French, Germans,
Italians and Austnans. Many of
them have passed through a regular
course of training, best exemplified
"by the ' "Academic" at Frledewaldt,
near Dresden, Saxony, where every
thing is taught which Is necessary for
the equipment of a really good
waiter. There the student learns
cooking in all its branches and mem
orizes the endless variety of strange
and unusual names given to simple
dishes, in order that he may be able
to describe and explain the contents
to bewildered diners. Wine lists are
also perplexing puzzles to many, and
these must be carefully studied' be
fore a waiter can venture to recom
mend any particular wine or special
vintage.
If one ask the hotel waiter about
his work he will find that he looks oa
it as a profession one which has Its
standards and traditions, and which.
In keeping with many other present
day occupations, has a world-wide
organization. The average hotel
guest has probably never heard of
L'Unlon Genevolse, or the Interna
tional Hotel Employe Society, as it
is also known. The first in tire prop
er title, and, as It implies, the so
ciety was formed In Geneva, Switzer
land. It does many things for the
quiet men in black who serve the
hungry in hotel dining-rooma. After
having been thoroughly trained -and
made competent to hold a place in
any civilized country, the waiter is
sure of assistance wherever he may
be, from Bloomfontein, South Afri
ca, to Boston. On arriving in a
strange city, he has only to present
himself at the offices of the associa
tion and exhibit his membership
book, which shows whether he has
paid his dues and whether he . was
honorably discharged from his last
place.
v In case of illness, after a man has
been a member from six months to
five years, he receives eighty-five
cents a day. If, on the other hand
his membership has spread over five
years, the amount he gets is $1.25
a day; if more than ten and up to
fifteen years, $1.60, and for every
thing above fifteen years, $2 for each
day. Since Its organization in 1879
the society has paid out $80,550 in
sick benefits and for burial fees.
Loans and gifts and obtaining em
ployment for members bring the
total to $155,550. In order to qual
ify as a member of the club it is nec
essary that a candidate be of good
character and shall have been con
nected with the hotel and restaurant
trade for at least two years. Above
all, he muBt be a thoroughly compe
tent and experienced waiter.
"A firstclass waiter is born, not
made," says a former head waiter of
tho Hunting Room of the new Hotel
Astor. "From the moment that a
man enters on his duties as the most
insignificant 'piccola,' or 'omnibus,'
we can tell whether he Is going to be
an efficient servant. He must be at
tentive without being servile, must
be noiseless, defthanded, and, above
all, must be careful not to break
things.
"Even if he has a natural apti
tude for the business, the amount of
careful Instruction required to form
him is very great, although his na
tionality makes . much difference in
tho matter; Tho best men are gen
erally French, German or Swiss, and
these have often had the advantages
of attending academies or even kin
dergartens established at foreign
hotels in tho off searon, when tbey
break plates, spoil silverware and
generally sustain parts in a universal
comedy of errors, to the great dis
gust of the guests upon whom they
practice their trade. Tho waiters'
academy in Vienna is the foremost
in the world.
"Knowledge of several languages
Is a very necessary qualification, and
hardly any scrap of general Informa
tion comes amiss, but tact and dis
cretion are the waiters' chief virtues.
Ills attitude should be that of a sol
dier, always at attention always
ready for the word of command. He
should answer politely when ad
dressed, keep at a respectable dis
tance from the table, yet always be
near enough to be easily called when
wanted. In fact, a really good waiter
should need no calling, but makes a
point of watching the guest's face, so
as instantly to observe what Is want
ed almost before the guest himself
has had time to form a wish."
In the hierarchy of waiterdom the
head waiter stands first. Next comes
the assistant head waiter, followed
by the "captains" who supervise each
his own part of the dining-room, the
serving waiters and the "piccolo"
and "omnibus" men, who keep the
water carafes filled, remove dishes
which have been used, and generally
supply the tables with what small
articles may be required front time
to time. According to Auguste, of
the Hunting Room, the head waiter
should always meet the guest as he
euters and courteously commit him
to the care of one of the captains,
who placea hlui at a table.
"It is the duty of the waiter to
help people to eat," said Auguste.
"How can a man who nearly always
eats at home learn how to eat at a
hotol without some assistance! Th?
menu Is to hiin almost a Chinese puz
zle which he studies laboriously anil
with little profit. In despair he or
ders three steaks when one would
do; then he Is angry at having to
pay for so much that is not eaten
all this is bad, both for tho waiter
and for the house, because the dis
satisfied guest will not tip and will
not come again. Such a man docs
not know what he wants, and there
fore the waiter must know."
It is surprising what nn Insight
into human nature the waiter pos
sesses. He can Instantly rend a new
guest's character und discover hi
social standing; yet he prefers old
customers, knowing how to treat
them, as well as how he himself will
be treated and tipped.
"Regarding this question of treat
ment," says Auguste, "we waiters,
like everybody else, have often to
meet many who are not gentlemen.
When a man snaps his fingers at
his attendant and speaks as if he
were calling a dog, we naturally
know where to place him, and that
person does not get better service
than others, to say the least. But
the waiter must exercise . Judgment.
Sometimes a man has stayed up too
late the night before and may have
taken more than is good for him.
His nerves are on edge, he has two
headaches one over each cye and
the world is Jet black to him. The
good waiter understands all this at
a glance.
"Or perhaps the man has been a
good fellow ten times, but the elev
enth time he is a brute. Well, we
comprehend. Something has gone
wrong he has lost money or there
has been trouble of some kind. He
1p handled with kid gloves by his
waiter, and is stroked, as it were,
with a hand of velvet, gently, sooth
ingly, sympathetically. As like as
not the guest becomes ashamed of
his ill temper, and the waiter gets
conscience -money in the Bhape of a
dollar Instead of a quarter tip."
The waiter himself is under too
strict discipline ever to show irri
tation or bad humor. In a great
hotel like the Astor, where the staff
employed in the four dining-rooms
numbers 270 "regulars," exclusive of
the host of subsidiary attendants who
asslBt behind the scenes, everything
is organized with the utmost pre
cision. In each dining-room there are
threo watches, consisting of twelve
men and six omnibus boys. Two of
these ' watches are called "steady"
and the third "the reserve." The
reserve is always on hand and helps
the steady watches alternately. At
the end of the week the reserve staff
becomes a steady for that week, and
one of the steadies relieves the re
serve. The first watch comes on at
6 o'clock, opens up the place and
goes off at 12 o'clock. Then it re
turns at 6 in the evening and stays
till closing time, say about 1.30 a. m.
The pext morning the watch which
has closed up does not come on until
12, and stays till 8 and thus alter
nately, so that every day there are
different men on the different,
watches. The opening up and clos
ing is the really hard work of the
room.
No man has the same table or
even the same side of the room twice
consecutively, in order that there
may be no favoritism and that he
may get handy and experienced in
every part of the room. The sta
tions of the captains are also change
able. Another item of interest la
that each piece of work has threo
men to look after it.
Some people are fond of asserting
that these lmperturable purveyors,
Instead of being paid by the hotel
proprietor, not infrequently have to
pay for the privilege of, working in
the establishment. As a matter of
fact, the best New York waRers get
$25 a week and their clothes. Their
tips, it has been calculated, run from
$100 to $125 a month, a generous
salary, but one which is certainly
weJl earned. New York Sun.
Photographing Lightning.
Eome new things regarding. light
ning have been learned by photogra
phy. For insance, it turns out th:.':
the line: branch and curve, but the?
are not jagged, as was once supposed.
The design formerly employed by
artists to represent lightning was
highly inaccurate. It is now suggest
ed that perhaps another question
might be solved in the same way, but
by the exercise of special skill and
apparatus. Tho suspicion Is entor
tained that the flash is oscillatory
that is, that the curnat moves al
ternately in opposite directions sev
eral times in succession. With a sta
tionary plate it Is not likely that the
truth could be ascertained, but The
Electrical World threw out a useful
hint the other day. Observers of
lightning will do well, it Bald, if they
could mount a camera on a suitable
axis and revolve It, with exposed
plate, at a reasonably definite rate at
night on tho approach of a thunder
storm, so as to gain evidence of the
duration or oscillation t lightning
discharge.

JOnming Oil Taint Makes Insurance
Void.
It feems that considerable danger
to property etlsts in the practice of
burning off old print before re-paint-Ing.
The question has long been a
subject of debate In the technical
journals, and now bousa-holders and
the newspapers have begun to discuss
It. Those of us who, with trembling,
have watched the painters blow a
Aery blast, from their lamps against
I our houses, and have looked sadly at
I the size of our painting bill because
I of the time wasted on this prellinin-
ary work, are interested In 4he in
vestigation by tho Greenfield (Mass.)
j Gazette and Courier, which gives
considerable Bpace to the reasons for
j the practlc?, questions its necessity
I and suggests ways to prevent the rlak
of burning down one's house in order
i to g?t the old paint off. It says:
j "There la a good dvnl of discussion
among house-holdcra as to tho desir
ability in painting houses, of burning
off the old paint, a practice that has
grown very common of htto In
Greenfield and elsewhere. Insurance
men are strongly opposed to this
method. It makes void Insurance
policies for fires caused In this man
ner. Several houses in Greenfield
have gotten afire as tho result of this
method, and in some places houses
I have burned as a result.
I "It Is undoubtedly true that when
I a house has been painted over and
over again there comes to be an ac-
I cumulation of paint in bunches. It
new paint is put on top oi inesa ac
cumulations it Is almost sure to blis
ter. To burn it off is the quickest
and cheapest and perhaps the Burest
method of getting rid of this old
paint."
The Gazette and Courier quotes
certain old patrons to the effect that
accumulations of paint are unneces
sary. These old-timers lay the blame
partly on the painter who fails to
brush his paint In well, partly on the
custom of painting In damp weather
or not allowing sufficient time for
drying between coats, and partly to
the use of adulterated paints Instead
of old-fashioned linseed olt and pure
white lead. The paper says:
"Many of the older house-holders
say that if care Is taken at all th?sc
points, it is absolutely unnecessary
to have paint burned off. They ad
vise that people who have houses
painted should buy their own materi
als, and to have them put on by tho
day, so as to be sure to get good lend
and oil. Of course the burning off
of paint greatly Increases the C03t
of the Job."
The trouble house-holders every
where have with paint is pretty well
summed up by our eontenipoi-ary, and
tho causes are about the same every
where. By far the most frequent
cause of the necessity for the danger
ous practice of burning old paint is
the use of poor material. The oil
should bo pure Unseed and the white
lead should be real white lead. The
latter is more often tampered with
than the oil. Earthy substances, and
pulverized rock and quartz, ara fre
quently used as cheapeners, to the
great detriment of the paint.
Painters rarely adulterate whlta
lead themselves and tiiey very seldom
use ready prepared paints the most
frequent causes of paint trouble. But
they do often buy adulterated white
lead because tho property owner in
sists on a low price and tho painter
has to economize somewhere. Tho
I suggestion is therefore a good on?
that the property owner investigate
tho subject a little, find out the nam?
of some reliable brand of white lead,
and see that tho keg Is marked with
that brand.
The linseed oil is more difficult to
be sure of, as It is usually sold in
bulk when the quantity Is small; but
reliable makers of linseed oil can bo
learned on inquiry and, if your dealer
Is reliable, you will get what you
want.
Pure white lead and linseed oil arc
so necessary to good paint that the
little trouble necessary to get them
well ropays tho house owner In dol
lars and cents saved.
Tomorrow.
In the land of tomorrow, near the
entrance gate, two newly arrived
spirits met, and looked each other in
the face. One of them was a strong
and beautiful spirit, with shining
garments and a face full of clear
light; but the other was little and
pinched and gray, and she trembled
and cowered as she went.
"What ails you?" asked the first
spirit, "that you cower thus?"
"I am afraid!" answered tho sec
ond. "It is all so Btrango here. I
have no home, no friends, and I am
alone and frightened."
"That Is strange!" said the strong
spirit, "I never felt eo at home be
fore. Everything io friendly to my
eyes. The very trees are as If I had
known them always."
"Lot mo hold your hand!" said
the frightened one. "You seem so
strong and tread so freely, I shall
perhaps not be bo afraid if I am with
you. I was a great lady on earth. I
lived in a fine house and had ser
vants to run and ride for me. and
jewels and rich dresses and every
thing, that heart could desire, yet I
had to leave them all in hasto and
come, to this strange place. It Is
very terrible. Was it so with you?"
"Nay," said the other. "I came
willingly."
Tho frightened spirit clung to the
other and peered in her face.
"Toll me," she cried. "Did we
ever meet on the earth? Your face
is not only friendly; It is familiar.
It is as If I had seen you often, yet
none of the noble Indies I knew had
such strength and grace. Who were
you, beautiful augel?"
"I was your washerwoman!" said
the other. From "The Golden Win

MaKe Unhappy Homes -Their Condition Irritates

of Mothers Have Been Saved From Nervoua

A nervous, Irritable mother, often on
the verge of hysterics. Is unfit to care
for children; it ruins a child's disposi
tion and reacts upon herself. The
trouble between children and their
mothers too ofu-n Is due to the fact
that the mother has some female weak
ness, and she is entirely unfit to bear
the strain upon her nerves that govern
ing children involves; it is iinpo&idble
for her to do anything calmly.
The ills of women act like a firebrand
upon the nerves, consequently nine
tenths of the nervous procuration, ner
vous despondency, " the bines," sleep
lessness, and nervous irritability of
women arise from some derangement
of the female organism.
Do you experience fits of depression
with restlessness, alternating with
extreme irritability? Are j our spirits
easilv affected, so that onu minute you
laugh, and the next minute you feel
like crying ?
Do you feel something like abnll ris
ing in your throat and threatening- to
choke yon ; all the senses perverted,
morbidly sensitive to light and sound ;
pain in the abdominal region, and
between the shoulders; oetiring-down
pains; nervous dyspepsia and almost
continually cross and snappy T
If so. your nerves are in a shattered
condition, and yon are threatened with
nervous prostration.
Proof is monnr- cntol that notbinp in
the world is betlir for nervous prot ra
tion than Lvdia E. Pinlchatn's Vege

Gunsaulus met
ihe
other day two children in blue sniior
suits out walking with their mother.
Mr. Gunsaulus paised the pretty
blue suits, tho trim sailor hats and
the handsome reefers. Then he smil
ed and said:
"In a certain church one Sunday
morning three children sat in the
front row of the gathering with sail
or hats on their heads.
"The sexton before the service
commenced, tiptoed down the aisle
and whispered loudly and indignant
ly: " 'Take them hats off, boys.'
"The children took no notice mid
very angrily the sexton appeared:
" 'Off with them hats, do vou
hear?'
"Still they did not comply." So
the old man came and leaned over
them, glowering in their faces.
" 'Why he began, but in a
shrill little pipe of terror one of the
children interrupted him.
" 'Please, sir, we are girls,' she
said." Chicago Inter Ocean.
