Down at Hot Springs, Ark, the visitors have all sorts of complaints, but it is a sub- ject of remark that the great majority of them have some trouble with stomach and bowels. This may be partly attributed to the heavy medicines. Naturally, under the conditions, the ques- tion of food is very prominent A young man states that he had suffered for nine years from stomach and bowel trouble, had two operations which did not cure, and was at last threatened with ap- pendieitis He went to Hot Springs for rheumatism and his stomach trouble got worse. One day at breakfast the waiter, knowing his condition, suggested he try Grape-Nuts and cream, which he did and found the food agread with him perfectly. After the second day ne began to sleep peacefully at nighi, different than he had tor years. The perfect digestion of the food quieted his nervous system and made sleep possible.

TOKIO, May 17.—~Rear Admiral Giles B. | Harber, commanding the Asiatic squadron of the Pacific fleet, with staff and the cap- tains of the ships composing the squadron, | were granted an audlence with the emperor | and empress today. The officers were pre- sented by American Ambassador O'Brien, and Admiral Harber was engaged in con- | versation with the emperor for several minutes. In an sald: “1 came to Japan entirely on my own initiative and had no thought of any spectal reception to the squadron, but on my arrival found that preparations had already been made to give us a hearty, even enthus- lastic welcome, to all of which my own feeling naturally and cordially responded.” "It seemed exceedingly opportune that this visit should occur just when Admiral Ijichi's tralning squadron was being wei- comed at Ban Francisco, a place, which, despite the clamor ralsed by one element, has proved by the sincere hospitality dis- played by another element that at h!l{l’ the good people of both countries have not only a desire for the continuance of amic- able relations, but also a sincere respect and regard for each other.” Admiral Harber has made an unusually favorable impression of all with whom he has come in contact during the visit of the #quadron and will leave Japan as one of the most popular American officers ever en tertained here. VICTORIA, B. C, May 16.~With a re- ception given on board their flagship Aso by Admiral Ijichi this afternoon the round of festivit®s in connection with the visit of the Japanese cruisers Aso and Soya to Esquimault ended.

The horse stepped on Mrs. Ernst's head and the calk of the shoe cut a hole through the skull, but did not fracture it. A smail cut on the leg severed a blood vessel, in- flicting a dangerous wound. She was taken to the office of Dr. Adams and was uncon- sclous for about three hours. Later she was removed to her home. The buggy contained Mike Sullivan, son of M. J. Bullivan, 2223 Larimore street, and Joseph B. Erskie, Twenty-fourth and Erskine streets, and two girls. They were 8oing north, driving at a fast pace, when the accident occurred, and attempted to get away without revealing their identity. The crowd waiting for the car saw the accident and closed in, forcing them to stop. They were arrested and will probably be tried for fast driving. Sullivan's father went to Florence and balled them out. “Jack” Philbin Dies Suddenly Old Time Ticket Broker is Taken by a Hemorrhage of the Lungs, After an illness of less than twenty-four hours, J.
