New York, May 9. Another Dtrnett
restaurant Is gone. The onf ' No.
145 Nassau street closed its doors the
other day and now there is only the
survivor of the NewJI'ork chain of
religious eating housr? founded years
ago by the late A 17: Dennett, who
put scriptural m -toes on the wall,
wall, began e' day's business with
prayer and ail- wed each patron to se
lect his ow food and took the pa
tron's wca as to how much he owed.
A rati !r distressed public gazed at
the loured portals and windows made
opr itie by a coat of washing powder.
Dennett's was the only restaurant in
Park Row district where old-fashioned
dSughnuts "could be had. More
over, many persons had grown ac
customed to grabbing food from the
marble counter, carrying it to wide
armed mahogany chairs and having
the beautiful cashier accept without
scepticism whatever money was, prof
fered. Dennett came from a little town in
Maine and opened the first "relig
ious restaurant" in New York. At
one time he had 14 here and others
in Philadelphia, Boston and Chicago.
Losing his fortune in mining, he went
to California and opened a big lunch
room in San Francisco. He went in
sane and died in 1906.
Biblical texts, "Prepare to meet
thy God" and others were pn the
walls. There were Bibles for those
who wished to read. Waitresses were
called to prayer before each meal. It
was Dennett's claim that he never
lost a penny by trusting the public.
The only man he ever suspected of
cheating him sent him a "conscience
check" three years later, covering the
amount with interest.
Theae are many quick lunch res
taurants that permit the public to
tell the cashier what they owe,- but
they bulwark their trust by having
"spotters" who see to it that no one
makes a mistake twice.

He was an artillery private. His
boyish face held lines of weariness.
As he slumped down Into a corner

his hair was yellow and curly. He

took her eyes off the sleeping lad.
Presently she arose to leave as the
train iolted into the station.
As she passed the boy she bent,
lifted the battered campaign hat, laid

softly on his tumbling yellow hair.
He did not stir and she almost ran

ALMOST A TYPICAL BRETON

Here she takes to the Breton, and is there anything more delightfully pic

ple to make, too. You see, it's just a g athered fold of lace, shirred to fit the

A FOULARD APRON OF GEORGETTE AND SERGE
A
STRIKING example of how the
figured foulards are being
combined with plain mate
rials this season Is shown in the
accompanying photograph. The
figured silk in this instance is a bold

pattern in black-and-white blocks. An
entire dress of this would be bewilder
ing, but combined as it is into a bibbed
overskirt, which is supplemented by a
white georgette crepe Mouse at the
top and a band and underskirt of white
serge at the bottom, the result is
charming and could never be called
extreme.
The girdle, which Is cut into a bib
effect at front, narrows to veritable
apron strings at the back. A half-inch
band of the figured silk at the top of
the cuff relates the blouse to the rest
of the frock. The opening is down, the
center back with the buttons covered
with the silk.
CARE OF UMBRELLA.
Always dry an umbrelle after using.
When put away in a damp condition
the goods is inclined to rot and the
ribs to rust at the joints. A good plan
is to open the umbrella up while dry
ing and to brush thoroughly before
putting away. Mud will rot the best
of umbrella silks.
Occasionally oil the joints of the
ribs of an umbrella with a good ma
chine oil. It will double its wear.
When an umbrella rib slips loose,
a light hairpin inserted at the joint
often saves tho umbrella from- break
ing further.
Silk umbrellas, when allowed to
stand for a long time unopened in
closet or hall are Inclined to split
when used.
When the umbrella cannot be mark
ed on the handle a patch of white
cloth upon which the name of the
owner Is written in indelible ink may
be slipped under the ribs at the top
oi tne umDreiia ana tnus serve as a
means of identification.
When the handle comes off an um
brella, fill the hole in the handle with
powdered sulphur, heat the ferrule un
til red hot and while in this condition
slip it into the sulphur. As the sulphur
cools it will harden and hold the han
dle in place.
Save old umbrella handles. If in good
condition, many dealers will buy them
to build into new umbrellas.
. A sponge in the bottom of a jardi
niere used as an umbrella stand will
prevent the china from chipping when
struck by the umbrella tip.
Advice keep a cheap umbrella on
hand to loan to friends.

and linen suits for, those who can't

INSTEAD OF EXERCISES, PATENT
FOODS AND MEDICINES, TAKE
PHOSPHATE WITH YOUR
MEALS.
The demand today is for men and wo
men who are strong in every sense of the
word possessing the physical strength
necessary to endure hardships and fatigue;
the mental strength to grapple with diffi
cult problems; the nervous force which en
dows the body with vigor and vitality; the
will power to triumph over adversity ana
turn defeat into victory.
But such glorious strength Is Impos
sible so long as your nerves are weak
and exhausted, and therefore if you would
be really strong you must first care for
your nerves. Weak, exhausted nerves
need food, and for this purpose physicians
strongly recommend the use of the organic
phosphate known 'among druggists as
bitro-phosphate and put up in 5-gr.
compressed tasteless tablets.
If you feel your strength Is failing from
any cause, get a supply oi inese ouro
phosphate tablets and take one with every

ELLIS SAYS AMERICANS
FOUGHT LIKE HEROES
Boys in France are Writing
Brightest Pages in Ameri
can History.
An Atlantic Port, May 9. "No
brighter page in all American history
has been written than that covering
the deeds of American soldiers fight
ing the Prussians," declared Dr. Wil
liam T. Ellis, of Swarthmore, Pa., who
has just arrived here on a French
liner, in describing the fighting three
weeks ago in the American sector at
Apremont, northwest of Toul, which
he witnessed.
"Our boys fought like heroes," he
continued, "although they were out
numbered four to one. I saw one
soldier, a Greek by birth, who had
joined the army in New York. His
rifje was shot from his hands, but
he drew a knife, leaped forward and
killed a German lieutenant. The
Americans never gave an inch and
always ,.drove the enemy back. They
did not lose a prisoner, but captured
three truckloads of the enemy."
Albert Van Hecke, formerly a pro
fessor in the University of Louvain,
and now secretary to the Belgian sec
retary of public works, also was on
hnaril thA Unflr. TT will makft a tour
conditions in preparation for the res
toration of Belgium.
"If I had not been on the spot I
would not believe some of the in
stances of bravery motion picture
stuff, you might call it. One captain
from -Boston, who was a dry goods
mer:hlStrl at home, was in the trench
when German sappers started to move
forward, preparatory to a raid.
"This captain ripped off his shoul
der straps to prevent identification by
the Germans and seized a 'rifle. 'To
hell with the saps,' he shouted to his
men, and went over the top in the
lead.
"Well, they captured that German
trench and came back with prisoners,
the captain being unharmed."
