THE FAVORITE GAME.
4 Lille Rough, but n Good Test of
American Endurance.

Football has grown in favor in America
untl to-day it occupies a most prominent
place in athletic sports.
Twenty-Five thousand people recently wit
messed the game at New Haven between
Yale and Princeton.
The work is tremendous and requires
young men Of powerful physique and good
strong hearts and lungs.
The trainers quite universally forbid the
use Of coffee becaus" Of its effect on the
heart.
y majority of the best and most careful
trainers are pronounced i'm their recon-
mcndations OF Postum Food Coffee be-
cause It gives the athletes a warm. de-
liciOu@ beverage and. better than that. il
supplies in liquid form tho selected food
elements which nature uses to buiId in
nerve and muscle.
The careful selection of food for pow
ertul athletes furnishes a lesson TO the
less powerfully built brain worker who
really needs more care in the selection OF
food than does the strong man who can
make a pretty good attempt at dlgesting
almost any sort Of food.
