He circled also the Royal yacht twice. The great events of the day came after 8 o'clock, when Commander Samson, in his hydroplane, rose deeply interested in the flights offrom the water and flew very high, the aeroplanes and hydroplanes. In a thick fog Commander Sam- gon rose from the water at Portland and flew in his famous naval hydro- plane at a speed of 30 miles an hour for GO minutes, He went to meet the 'Roya} yacht. The fog broke momentarily when he was one thou- gand fect above her, so the King could just see him. with case in broken flying around the fleet. 5 ~ Commander Gerrard ascended at ~Ledmoor Naval Flying Ground a He alighted water after - few minutes after Commander Sam- son went up from. Portland. He used a Nieuport monoplane and -~ rose to a height of 3,000 feet, trying to get above the fog. He passed 'right over the fleet and flew for more than one hour. Then Lieut. Gregory flew for 70 minutes in a short biplane. fitted with floats. He passed over the Royal yacht at an altitude of 1,500 Feet. descending at the naval avia- tors' landing-place at Portland. Lieut, Longmore flew for 50. min- utes in a Deperdussin monoplane, - which had been fitted with floats in 'ease of a fall into the sea. Mr. ~Grahame-White rose in his Bleriot monoplane at 20 minutes to 3 and descending 200 yards from the Royal yacht, He carried a passen- ger and a letter to the King. Both were taken off from the hydroplane as it rested in the water with the engine stopped, and conveyed to the Royal yacht by a picket boat. Lieut. Gregory, in a biplane fit- ted with floats, then passed over the harbor and the Royal yacht. When it was deemed safe his passenger dropped a lump of metal, weighing 300 pounds, into the water just in- side the breakwater from an alti- tude of 400 feet, causing a tremen- dous splash. He then swooped down upon a submerged submarine and alighted in the water a few feet from it, causing the sailors on board the nearest battleship to ery out in alarm. A passenger in the bi-plane could obviously have sunk the submarine with an exploding missile, After the naval aviators finished their display Mr. Grahame-White gave a wonderful exhibition of fly- ing. He flew out around the vari- ous warships so near the water as to be searcely aboye the level of their decks, demonstrating his su- preme skill in controlling the ma- chine. DIRTY BILLS MUST GO. Banks Must No Longer Issue Dila- pidated Currency. A despatch from Ottawa says: 'The day of the dirty dollar is pass-. ing. The new Bank Act will be brought down almost immediately upon the reassembling of Parlia- ment, and in it there will be a pro- vision under which it will be the duty of the banks not to reissue soiled or faded notes. The banks have already a standing request from the Department ,of Finance to return fer exchange \all soiled Dominion notes which "ome into their possession.

Dead bodies are lying along the roadways and along the grand canal, i MONTREAL'S DEBT, Old Methods of Finaneing Proving Costly to the City. A despatch from Montreal says: Montreal is just learning that her old method of financing was costly. Civie statistics show that during the past twenty-five years the city has paid out the huge amount of twenty millions of dollars on its debt.

During the King's second day as active commander of the fleet he expressed the desire to take the plunge in a submarine. Sub- marine D4 was the vessel chosen, and the King, with several officers of his staff, boarded the boat. Closed for its important trip, the boat slowly sank beneath the water, and for ten minutes officers and sailors watched the tip of the peris- cope of the little, vessel beneath the water. When the Knig landed from the submarine he said he was de- lighted with the trip. The sub- marine is of the latest type and car- ries a disappearing gun.

"Then sweetly play with the learned toad. Chances are you get a withering sneer and a hiss of denunciation. He Forgot That Ho FROM THE EDITOR. Had a Stomach. Ten Minutes Ask him to tell you the analysis of brain material and the analysis of Grape-Nuts. "Don't know? Why, 1 supposed you based your opinions on exact knowledge instead of pushing out a conclusion like you would a sneeze." "Well, now your tire is punctured, let's sit down like good friends and repair it." The bulky materials of brain are water and albumin, but these things cannot blend without a little worker known as Phosphate of Potash, defined as a "mineral salt." One authority, Geohegan, shows in his analysis of brain, 5.33 per cent. total of mineral salts, over one-half being Phosphoric Acid and Potash combined, (Phosphate of Potash) 2.91 per cent. Beaunis, another authority, shows Phosphoric Acid and Potash (Phos- phate of Potash) more than one-half the total mineral salts, being 73,44 per cent. ina total of 101.07. Analysis of Grape-Nuts shows Potassium and Phosphorus (which join and make Phosphate of Potash) is considerable more than one-half of the mineral salts in the food. _ Dr. Geo. W. Carey, an authority on the constituent elements of the body, says: 'The gray matter of the brain is controlled entirely by the inorganic cell-salt, Potassium Phosphate (Phosphate of Potash). This salt unites with albumin and by the addition of oxygen creates nerve fluid or the gray matter of the brain. Of course, there is a trace of other salts and other organic matter in nerve fluid, but Potassium Phosphate is the chief factor, and has the power within itself to attract, by its own law of affinity, all things necded to manufacture the elixir of life." Further on he says: "The beginning and end of the matter is to supply the lacking principle, and in molecular form, exactly as nature furnishes it in vegetables, truits and grain. To supply deficiencies--this is the only law of cure." Brain is made of Phospiate of Potash as the principal Mineral Salt, added to albumin and water. Grape-Nuts contains that element as more than one-half of all its mineral salts. Every day's use of brain wears away a little. Suppose your kind of food does not contain Phosphate of Potash. How are you going to rebuild today the worn-out parts of yesterday ? Plain wheat and barley do. But in Grape-Nuts there is a certainty, to bui.d from.

Cereal Co:, Ltd, Pute Food As bE _ Made by Canadian Postumt Factories, yes sar . penpals A mau who sneers at "Mind" sneers at the best and least understood part of himself. Mind asks for a healthy brain upon which to act, and Nature has defined Talking of food, there is probably no professional man subjected to a greater, more wearing mental strain than the re- sponsible editor of a modern newspaper. To keep his mental faculties constantly in good working order, the editor must keep his physical powers up to the highest rate of efficiency. Nothing will so quickly upset the whole system as badly selected food and a disordered stomach. It there- fore follows that he should have right food, which can be readily assimilated, and which furnishes true brain nourish- ment. "My personal experience in the use of Grape-Nuts and Postum," writes a Phila- delphia editor, "so exactly agrees with your advertised claim as to their merits that any further exposition in that direc- tion would seem to be superfluous. They have benefited me so much, however, dur- ing the five years that I have used them, that I do not feel justified in withholding my testimony. "General 'high living' with all that the expression implies as to a generous table, brought about indigestion, in my case, with restlessness at night, and lassitude in the morning, accompanied by various pains and distressing sensations during working hours. "The doctor diagnosed the condition aa 'catarrh of the stomach,' and prescribed various medicines, which did me no good. T finally 'threw physics to the dogs,' gave up tea and coffee and heavy meat dishes, and adopted Grape-Nuts and Postum as the chief articles of my diet. "T ean conscientiously say, and I wish to say it with all the emphasis possible to the English language, that they have ben- efited me as medicines never did, and more than any other food that ever came on my table. "My experience is that the Grape-Nuts food has steadied and strengthened both brain and nerves to a most positive de- gree. How it does it, I cannot say, but I know that after breakfasting on Grape- Nuts food one actually forgets he has a stomach, let alone 'stomach trouble.' It is, in my opinion, the most beneficial as well. as the most economical food on the market, and has absolutely no rival." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
