THF NEW WAVE.
Physical Culture, Pure Food and
Drink Marks q New Era.

A great popular pure drink and
pure food wave is just now passing
over the country, and it seems to
have come to stay.
More attention is being given to
articles of food and drink than here
tofore, and people are slowly learn
ing that good health cannot be pre-
served under the present civilization
unless the habits are Of more
natural character. The apparently
harmless coffee habit now numbers
its victims by the thousands produc-
ing obstinate stomach and bowel
troubles that will not abate except
by leaving off the habit.
1t is not always an easy task to
drop lifetime habit.
One of the late discoveries is pure
food coffee, made entirely of grains
and possessing great fattening and
nourishing properties, while it brews
the exact deep seal brown color
of Mocha and when cream is added,
it takes the rich golden brown of
Java. The taste is pungent and
piquant, quite similar to coffee; in
fact so close to it in aroma and flavor
that the coffee drinker, who has had
trouble with coffee, will freely take
on the new grain drink when he dis
covers that it agrees with him per
fectly, and its healthful properties
quickly dismiss his former ails.
The great feature of this new and
rational method of dismissing sick
ness, is to avoid drugging oneself
and quit hurtful habits, taking in
only what is known to be pure nat
ural food such as the Creator in
tended for mans subsistence.
DR.. Wesley A. Dunn, Editor of
Medical Current Marshall Field
Bldg, Chicago says: lam highly
pleased with it."
Nothing is more to the point than
this new food-drink made from
grains. 1t bears the name Of "Pos
tum Cereal." and is made by tht
Postum Cereal Co, linn, Battle
Creek, Mich.
1t claims to be direct and quick
producer of new blood corpuscles by
the natural method of good nourish
Ing food taken in liquid form. 1t is
quite bit less expensive than coffee
and altogether it's use appeals tt
ones common sense.

something to turn up; to strike
some scheme or to find some
thing which will not only en-
able them to pay their debts
but make them veal ly, He
who surely follows this plan
will just as surely come to
want. He who calculates well
will, at the end of the year,
see what his expenses and in
come have been. If he finds
his income has not been suf-
ficient to meet his bills and lay
up a small margin besides, he
should begin to look around
and see where he can cut down
best. The past year has been
a hard one on every one OF us
and this year we will all have
to cut down our expenses.
There are many ways in which
a man can save, that little
here and a little there will soon
amount to a large sum. For
instance, when you go to buy
your Drugs, Books, Oils and
Paints, Wall and Window Pa
pers, go to Saur & Balsley's
Drug and Book Store where
you will always find a large,
nice stock to select from. Get
their prices, then if you are
not suited 60 elsewhere and
see if you can not do little
better. Always go where you
can get what you need (not
what you. want), for the least
money.

Messrs. Saur & Balsley have
had over thirty years Of con
tinuous business experience in
their line, and have always
made an effort to buy goods
at the very lowest cash prices.
In the drug department every
thing is kept nice, new and
fresh; no old remedies allowed
to accumulate and only those
which have been tried and
proved, are recommended by
this house. In the line OF
Paints, Oils and Varnishes the
best in the land is always Sc
cured and sold at the lowest

BABY BOY BURNED.
Face and Head Burned to a
Crisp-Death Followed.

Our correspondent at Mcclure
sends us the following particulars of
a horrible accident which occurred
in that place last Friday morning:
The little two-year old son of o. G.
Warner and wife was very badly
burned Friday morning. He was
left alone in the house for about five
minutes, when the mother, healiog
him scream rushed in the house,
finding him enveloped in flames
crying Mamma" and trying to
fight the mad blaze with his little
hands, which were burned to a crisp.
His little golden curls were all
ablaze when the half crazed mother
opened the door, but luckily the first
dash of water she threw extinguished
the fire. His face, breast and ears
were burned to crisp, but he lived
until Sunday evening. when the good
Lord took him out of his misery.
The funeral took place in Mcclure,
Tuesday at II o'clock. The heart
broken parents and little sister have
the sympathy of the entire commun-
ity.
1t will never be known for sure
how he caught fire, but it is supposed

great success may be told in a very few
words: They give dollar for dollar and
misrepresent nothing. No Washington
house has made greater preparations for
the holiday trade, and nowhere can better
facilities be found for making Christmas
shopping pleasure. 1t is much, very
much, easier to tell what cannot be found
there than to tell what is there, and only
a visit can give one an idea Of the i'm
mense stock displayed by the Messrs.
Mayer Brothers & Co. For instance, where
could be found a larger stock Of gloves
for men, women and children? First
class, guaranteed goods. Then, glance at
their never-ending stock of leather goods,
of fans, jewelry, fancy goods, suits, hats
and cloaks. Inspect, for instance, their
limitess line of ribbons, wraps and the
thousand and one articles suitable for
Christmas offerings, useful goods. See the
immense stock Of dolls: see-well see their
advertisement in The Star, and then, per-
haps, you may get an idea of what this
establishment is and what a visit to it
means to the everyday purchaser, as we'll

Besides he would have gotten things more

Case in Point.
up. H. Taylor Of Texas, who sailed from
Tacoma to Alaska, writes that he has ex-
amined goods at San Francisco, Portland,
Tacoma and Seattle, as well as at Victoria,
and that he purchased his outfit at Tacoma,
where he found prices right and stocks ex-
actly what he required. cheaper than at
any other point. Tacoma, being the start
Ing point of Alaska steamship companies,
her dealers are better posted as to what is
required, and being in constant touch and
communication with Alaska, are better pre-
pared with the necessary articles. Klon-
clke outfits are made fresh every day in
Tacoma. One thousand five hundred bar
rels OF Hour are turned out each day in the
year by Tacoma flour mills. Tacoma wooden
mills supply woods of superior quality,
ana send large number Of blankets. suits,
etc, even as far east as New York city.
The mills are daily turning out wooden nit
tens, hoods, blankets. ETC., a capacity Of
$50 outfits day. These goods are shipped
to other places and sold as being local
manufactures, but the only wooden mills in
that section are located at Tacoma, and by
purchasing there freight and other profit
can be saved. Sleds, camp stoves, pack
sledges, frost extractors and such things
are DISC Manufactured at Tacoma, as wen
as general outfit supplies, which will be
found of the best quality and at price
cheaper than at any other Quitting center.

CAPITAL TRACTION ROAD.
A Sewer on 18th Street Necessftntes a
Change In the Construction Plan.


People who have been watching the
work of installing the underground electric
system on the Pennsylvania avenue line OF
the Capital Traction road are wondering
why the trench for the reception of the feed
wire conduits has been dug along the west
side of the track on 18th street instead of
between the two tracks, as has been the
case along the rest of this line, as we'll as
along the 14th street line 1t is stated.
however, that the reasons for this change
Is because a sewer occupies the center of
18th street, and, as it was impossible to
locate the feed wire ducts between the
tracks, the trench was dug along one side.
1t is understood that as soon the work
of installing the new system on the It'll
street line is well under way that the COM
pany will take under consideration the
plan of adapting the street or Chevy
Chase line SO that 1t can be operated in
conformity with the rest of the system
1t is pretty we'll settled that the under
ground system will be continued on this
line from the present terminus at Florida
avenue and 18th street along 18th street
to the bridge which crosses Rock creek at
the Zoo.
1t is possible that the cars will be run
out 18th street and eth street over the
U street branch to that entrance of the
Zoo. The balance of the line to Chevy
Chase will be operated by the overhead
wire, as is now the case. If this latter
plan is carried out and the Mount Pleasant
extension is granted, then these important
sections Of the suburbs will be supplied
with rapid transit railroad running di-
rectly, not only to the business center
OF the city, but to practically all parts of
the city.

Something Wrong With the Scale.

From Tit-Bits.
The story is of a young and devoted
father. The baby was his first, and he
wanted to weigh it.
Its a bumper" he exclaimed where
are the scales"
The domestic hunted up an old-fashione,l
pair that had come down from a former
generation. 1t was the only weighing ma
chine in the house. The baby, wrapped in
the feecy folds of some light fabric, was
suspended from the hook, and the proud
young father assumed charge of the opera
ton.
"Tll try 1t at eight pounds" he said,
sliding the weight along the beam at that
figure.
''It wont do. She weighs ever so much
more than that"
He slid the weight along several notches
farther.
"By Georgew he said "she weighs more
than ten pounds! Observation-Disclosures
fourteen! Is it possibleT'
He set the baby and the scales down and
rested himself a moment.
Biggest baby ever saw" he painted,
resuming the Weighing process. Fifteen
and q half-sixteen. This thing won't

get big pair of scales at some neighbors.
I'll bet tenner that she weighs over twen-
ty pounds. Mllie." he shouted. rushing
into the next room. she's the biggest baby
