FOOD COFFEE.
BRAIN WORKERS.
Should Have Proper Food to Sus-
tain the Losses.

It is a weil-established fact that active
mental effort drains the nerve centers of
the Phosphates. This fact should guide
TIE brainy men and women of to-day in
the selection of proper food and drink to
rebuild the losses and prevent Paresis and
Nervous Prostration in any OF its many
forms. In wheat the Phosphates exist,
with the gluten, up next to the outer
shell. Nearly 20 per cent of Postum
Cereal Food Coffee consists of this part of
wheat, which practically accounts for the
strong tonic effect and pronounced i'm
provement in emery within a very few
days after coffee is abandoned and Postum
used regularly. There is no medicine of
any character in Postum. The highest
practice of the healing art to-day is n OF so
much in crutching patients along with
medicines that will help them. Tempo

thing that can build back the lost gray
matter from the nerve and brain cells.

ton.
Committee Appointed to Report Next
Week on the Chinatown
Disgrace.

The members of the Congregational
Monday Club listened with eager interest
yesterday morning to an address ON So
cialism by Ross Martin, mem Der of the
Socialistic Labor party. At its conclusion
great deal of enthusiastic comment on the
principles of what Mr.. Ross called 1.-THE
System of the Future"
The address pointed out to the preachers
the connection between the churches and
socialism. "Under the present system of
capitalism" said the speaker, mo sue
csssful business man can practice the
golden rule. The better instincts of men
are at war with their environments ana il
is the duty of pastors to educate the peo-
pie so that the new era may come gradu-
ally. Socialism will evolve out of capt.
talism, as the present system evolved out
of the feudal system. 1t is not by anarchy
that the new era will come, but by a grad
ual evolution.
ministers are to great extent de-.
pendent on capital. and on that account
they have looked at the question of social
ism in too conservative way. 1t is the
business OF clergymen to destroy the pres
ent industrial ystem and to spread teach
ings which will make it possible for man
to follow the golden rule and yet n OF go to
the WALL
At the conclusion of the address the
ministers demonstrated their interest by
asking q number of questions. Several of
them remarked that they had received
much-needed enlightenment on the subject
and that they would henceforth look upon
socialism from an entirely different stand
point.
The Presbyterian Ministerial Associa-
ton holds it's weekly meetings at the Pre- s.
byterian Chinese Mission, 920 Sacramento
street, and yesterday the members of the
association expressed their sy m patty with
the rescue work by appointing Rev. James
Wood worth and Rev. r. ]. Reynolds a
com mitee to inquire into the Chinese
slave question.
The committee was instructed to report
at the next meeting Mr.. Reynolds made
a motion to express sympathy with the
work the Methodists are doing in their
efforts to suppress slavery, but the sense
of tue meeting was in favor of waiting till
the committee had reported. so the otion
was lost. The paper of the day was by

Then. with an appealing glance. she turned
to the reporter. He gave her the coin and she
jumped in. Billy wanted her 10 walt for the

The drive. which lasted barely five minutes,
was about thirty rounds Of the vacant lot. Billy

1.-THE wedding took place In April, 1912. and
magnificent festivals were instituted on the oc-

kindness and sweetness OF Maria Adelaide did n
great deal to soften the manners of the court.
As soon as he had made the acquaintance of his
wife Victor Emmanuel loved her ardently. and
the affection he bore her continued tender till
the end. But she could not Hi the life OF her
husband, who was entirely deprived of mental
occupation, for Carlo Alberto never permitted his
children to share in the least IN state affairs. SO
Victor Emmanuel still kept his bachelor habits.
and after his marriage had still more liberty
than before. He created n life OF his own to
recompense himself for the monotony of that
Imposed upon him in the royal palace. He
hunted and shot in the mountains and in the
marshes, undertook Lengthy r,nes a1b ~ w anS
