AS IN WASHINGTON'S DAY
prauQce's Tavern Restored to Its Old
Time Aspect
WASHINGTON
might recognize
the exterior of
Frnunces' Tavern
should he ride
down Broad street,
New York, in
if these days, but
once Inside there
would bo a num-
"V
of details
which would be
novel to him. As
he entered the
"Colonial" hall ho
would see waiters
in modern bob-
ailed evening coats Hitting about
earning honest tips. Instead of being
permitted to climb the stairs to the
'Long Itoom," where he bade farewell
to his officers after the close of the
revolution, ho might be Invited to go
up In an elevator. Passing tho "tap
room" on his way to the elevator, pos
sibly he would be uvged to try a cigar,
'best Virginia leaf." Ills eyes, ac
customed to guttering candles, would
bo astonished at tho, steady glow of
electric lights, and, doubtless, he
would want to know more about the
way In which Franklin's lightning
could be secured on a clear day for
use In lighting. His quick ear would
detect tho click of the typewriter as
ho stopped through the passage
toward tho "Long Room," although ho
might not recognize the origin of the
peculiar noise, and he would bo mysti
fied at tho spectacle of a man talking
nto a -telephone receiver.
Frnunces' Tavern, "tho oldest land
mark" In New York city, comes Into
tho public eye now moro because on
December 4, 1007, tho 124th anniver
sary of Washington's farewell to his
ofllccrs In tho big dining room of tho
old inn, the restored building was for
mally turned over by tho committee
having tho restoration In charge to
tho owners, the Sons of tho Revolu
tion, and two tablets were unveiled.
Tho reception to the guests was hold
In tho hall of tho Chamber of Com
merce after tho tablets were unveiled.
Ono of tho tablets was attached to the
wall of tho famous "Long Itoom," in
which Washington's historic and
touching farewell to his comrades and
assistants occurred, and tho other
affixed to tho oxterior.
Tho history of tho building Is con
cisely told on tho tablet placed In tho
Long Room." It reads:
"Fraunces Tavern, orected 1719;
Queen's Head Tavern, 17C2; Chamber
of. Commerce founded hero, 1708;
headquarters of Committee of Cor
respondence of CI, 1774; thiB room the
aceno of tho farewell of Gen. Wash
ington to his officers, December 4,
1783; SotiB of tho Revolution reor
ganized horo December 4, 1883; tho
property purchased by tho Sons of
tho Revolution in tho stato of Now
York, 1904; formal occupation taken
by the Sons of tho Revolution, Decem
ber 4, 1907."
W. II. Mersereau, tho architect who
Fraunces' Tavern as It Appeared In
Are Shown the Ruins
m
ir rrmi m
ai
made tho restoration, after much in
vestigation of all the evidence drew
the design which has been realized In
tho building as It stands to-day. It Ie
now supposed to look as It appeared
when Washington visited it, and all ol
tho bricks and timbers remaining ol
tho building which was known at
Fraunces' Tavern are still in the
places they then occupied.
Tho restoration Ib based on an ad
vertisement printed in 1775 in which
Fraunces offered his inn for sale and
described It ns "thrce-storles high
with a tile and load roof, has 14 fire
places, a most excollent largo kitchen,
lino dry collars, with good and con
venient, ofllccs, etc." The earliest pic
ture of it is dated 1854. This showed
the building as it appeared after its
recovery from the damnge caused by
tho "great flro" of 1835. In the same
year It was again visited by flro. This
time tho "Long Itoom" was burned
out, and the wall on the Pearl street
side above the second story fell out
ward. When the building was restored
this time it was made five stories high
with a flat roof, and, barring tho sa
loon on tho ground fl8or, looked as it
did until tho recent restoration.
When tho building was dismantled
for restoration the lines of the old
Fraunces' Tavern, Restored.
roof Indicating the top of the walls
and tho slopo and height of thd roof
were found in the walls. Tho differ
ence In the bricks in tho walls also
holped to determine what portion was
old and what modern. It will bo ob
served that tho wall fronting on Broad
street is of thin yellow bricks. These
are the same kind as aro found in the
old Dutch church In Tarrytown. In
order to secure an additional supply
to fill up the opening on tho first floor
iney nau to uo maue to oruer in a
yard in Holland whero bricks of the
same size aad kind are still made. The
bricks on tho Pearl street side aro red.
As they are an Inch longer and some
what thinner than tho bricks made
to-day It was only by searching
through many yards, tnpo measure in
hand, and picking up abnormal bricks
that onough could he secured to "piece
out" tho original wall. By such means
the old building was put back into a
shapo that would probably bo recog
nized by "Black Sam" Fraunces if he
should appear to-day.

Getting Down to Facts.
"In your opinion," asked the mem
ber of tho Investigating committee,
"what is the cause of the evident un
rest among tho Indians?"

"Fleas," he answered.
Of course there Is nothing new un

PURE FOOD.
No Food Commissioner of Any State
Has Ever Attacked the Absolute
Purity of Grape-Nuts.
Every analysis undertaken shows
this food to bo made strictly of Wheat
and Barley, treated by our processes
to partially transform the starch
parts into a form of Sugar, and there
fore much easier to digest.
Our claim that It Is a "Food for
Brain and Nerve Centres" la based
upon the fact that certain parts of
Wheat and Barley (which wo use) con
tain Nature's brain nnd nerve-bulldlng
ingredients, viz.: Phosphate of Pot
ash, and the way wc prepare tho food
makes it easy to digest and assimilate.
Dr. Geo. W. Carey in his book on
"Tho Biochemic System of Medicine"
says:
"When the medical profession fully
understands tho nature and range of,
the phosphate of potassium, insane
asylums will no longer bo needed.
''The gray matter of tho brain Is
controlled entirely by tho Inorganic
cell-salt, potassium phosphate.
"This salt unites with albumen, and
by the addition of oxygen creates nerve
fluid, or the gray matter of tho brain.
"Of course, there is a trace of other
salts and other organic matter in
nerve-fluid, but potassium phosphate
Is tho chief factor, and has the power
within itself to attract, by Its own law
of affinity, all things needed to manu
facture tho elixir of life. Therefore,
when nervous symptoms arise, due to
the fact that the nerve-fluid has been
exhausted from any cause, tho phos
phate of potassium is the only true
remedy, because nothing else can
possibly supply the deficiency.
"The ills arising from too rapidly
consuming tho gray matter of tho
brain cannot bo overestimated.
"I'nospnato or rotasn, is to my
mind, the most wonderful curative
agent ever discovered by man, and
the blessings it has already conferred
on tho race aro many,. But 'what
shall 'the harvest be' when physicians
everywhere fully understand tho part
this wonderful salt plays in tho
processes of life? It will do as much
as can be done through physiology to
make a heaven on earth.
"Let the overworked business man
tako it and go homo good-tempered,
Let tho weary wife, nerves unstrung
from attending to sick children or en
tertaining company, take it and note
how quickly tho equilibrium will be
restored and calm and reason assort
her throne. No 'provings' aro required
here. We find this potassium salt
largely predominates in nerve-fluid,
and that a deficiency produces well-
defined symptoms. The beginning and
end of the matter Is to supply the
lacking principle, and in molecular
form, exactly as nature furnishes it In
vegetables, fruits and grain. To sup-
ply deficiencies this is the only law
of cure."
Please observe that Phosphate of
Potash is not properly of the drug-
shop variety but is best prepared by
"Old Mother Nature" and stored in
tho grains ready for use by mankind.
Those who have been helped to better
health by the use of Grape-Nuts are
legion.
"There's a Reason."
BRAIN POWER
Increased by Proper Feeding.
A lady writer who not only has dono
good literary work, but reared a fam
ily, found In Grape-Nuts the ideal food
for brain work and to develop healthy
children. She writes:
"I am an enthusiastic proclaimer of
Grape-Nuts as a regular diet. I for
merly had no appetite in tho morning
and for 8 years while nursing my four
children, had insufficient nourishment
for them.
"Unable to eat breakfast I felt faint
later, and would go to tho pantry and
eat cold chops, sausage, cookies,
doughnuts or anything I hnppened to
find. Being a writer, at times my
head felt heavy and my brain asleep.
"When J read of Grape-Nuts I began
eating it every morning, also gavo il
to tho children, Including my 10
months old baby, who soon grow as
fat as a llttlo pig, good natured and-
contented.
"I tvroto evenings and feollng tho
noed of sustained brain power, began
oatlng a small saucer of Grape-Nuts
with milk, instead of my usual indi
gestible hot pudding, pie, or cako for
dessert at night.
"I grow plump, nerves strong, and
when I wrote my brain was active and
clear; indeed, tho dull head pain never
returned."

Dlabolb In tho Past.
More dlabolo discoveries. In tho
National Library at Paris are two
prints, one entitled "The Game of Dla
bolo at the Beginning of the Last Cen
tury;" the other entitled "The Devil
for Four (the old dlabolo)." Two
couples are playing dlabolo excitedly
in a room; -the furniture is upset and
the mirrors broken. Another design is
entitled: "The Good Devil, How Ho
Goes!" A young woman throws a big,
simple fellow In tho air, and from his
pocket fall pieces of gold. In tho same
plcturo Is another woman, with her
dlabolo cord round the neck of a man,
with tho inscription below: "See how
we lead them!" Dlabolo raised a
furor In France In 1812. It was then,
according to the Figaro correspondent,
Imported from England, and an Eng
lish caricature of a later date repre
sents a great Wellington sending to
St. Helena's a very little Napoleon rid
ing on a dlabolo. Long before the
revolution of 1789 some missionaries
in Peking sent an exact reproduction
of dlabolo to a French minister of
stato who collected, Chlneso curiosi
ties. The Chinese are always found to
have forgotten everything we are be
winning to learn! Dundoo Advertiser
How to Keep Warm In Winter.
The clothiers intend to keep women
warm if one may judge from the many
new "protectors" on tho underwear
counters.
Separate knit sleeves at the knit
underwear departments are among
them. Then, too, there are Shetland
vests with or without sleeves that give
a maximum of warmth witli a mini
mum of bulk, and union suits of tho
same gauzy wool. Bloomers of satin,
mohair or sateen, somo lined with al
batross, are In the same category, be
ing snug extras for wet or bitter
weather. Theso bloomers for wet
weather for the woman who is out at
all times and seasons are Ideal, since
they take the place of a skirt and a
damp hem about the feet.
No More Dark Brown Sugar.
"You have no Idea," said tho wife
ivho is also an excellent cook, "how
difllcult it is to make molasses cookies
and gingerbread and brown bread so
it will have tho same flavor that It
had In tho days now past. And why?
Because It Is wellnlght impossible to
find the good old-fashioned dark-brown
sugar. That's the secret of It. There
was a time when one could get differ
ent grades of brown sugar, that which
was least "refined" being very dark
and vastly sweeter than the light
brown or "C" sugar, as it used to bo
called. But those days have passed,
and I suppose that never again will
my cooking taste quite so good.
"Of course the younger people,
those who havo never known the ex
quisite flavor of molasses candy and
molasses cako made with the dark
sugar, cannot realize the difference.
Hnppy mortals they! As for myself, I
am constantly looking for the sugar of
my childhood, and there is not a week
but I have my hopes raised by some
storekeeper telling me he has it; but
he Is mistaken It Is the light brown
sugar ho has, and not that which I
seek."
