Professor Manning, Fellow of the Royal
Society OF London, Eng, was introduced
by the President, and stated that he had

meeting Of the society the nutritiye quail
tues of fruit. He claimed that cereal
foods were injurious 10 the system, and
were not necessary to the existence
He had attempted converts in England

was conservative and hard to move out
of the beaten track. He hoped to find
Americans more inclined TO listen To and
follow his example, as personally he

handful OF almonds sufnced him tor DAYS

marks, concluding with another urgent
appeal to desist from the use Of cereals

Retiring From Brsinees

The retiring sale of Nolan tG Sons is
apparently big success. Their store
seems to be continually crowded with
customers, which is pretty positive evi-
dence that bargains are being offered.
Mr.. Paddock, the new manager has al
ready become very popular, and this fact
probably accounts for the success of the
big closing out sale. 1t appears that the
firm is forced TO giveup the store now oc-
cupied at 603 } street, and the many
patrons as well as Sacramentans geu-
orally, will learn with regret that snch an
old firm is going to leave the city.

Goat-Huntlng in the Cascades.

There is great sport hunting wild
goats in the Cascade mountains of Ore
gon. They are killed for their meat as
we'll as their skins, and only expert
shots can bring them down, as they
are as feet and wary as the chamois Of
the Alps. To add to the difficulties the
goats are very white, and, when snow
has fallen, only keen sight can dis
tinguish them. There are also nat
ural obstacles in the way of high cliffs
and deep gorges. Nevertheless, two
hunters from San Francisco report
that in four weeks they killed one hum

storms, fell down gorge, were three
quarters starved, lost their way and
