"STRONG MAN IRVING"
Agrees With Other Athletes on Point
in Diet


in Diet
Montgomery e. Irving, who is said to be
one of the strongest men in the world, in
a recent interview with the Baltimore,
Md, News. said, in regard to diet, Keep
away from coffee. 1t should be taken off
the market"
Whenever one talks with athletes now
adays he finds the same expression in re-
gard % coffee. 1t Weakens the heart, short
ems the wind, and unless one Is very strong
in the digestive apparatus, interferes seri-
ously with that portion of the body.
If it is necessary for a strong man to
avoid narcotics and drugs of this character,
1t would seem especially important for the
brain worker or the highly sensitized and
delicately organized woman to avoid them
as they would any other poison if they
feel the slightest desire to maintain their
health and a comfortable poise of the ner-
vous system.
True, many people seem to use coffee
without a direct harmful effect, but a
little careful inquiry will nearly always
develop the fact that coffee users have
some disturbance of the body, which they
always attribute to some other cause than
coffee, but which, by a curious law, Is
likely to be helped if they can ever be in
duced to abandon coffee for ten days to
a month and take on Postum Cereal Food
Coffee, which instead of narcotZing and
destroying the nervous system, furnishes
the food elements demanded by nature to
rebuild the gray matter in nerve centers
throughout the body.
Postum is widely endorsed by athletic
trainers, famous bicycle riders and boxers,
as we'll as thousands Of well known men
and women who earn their living by men,
tai occupations.
Postum is the only Cereal Food Coffee
yet discovered with a coffee taste. that Is
pure and free from low grade coffee or
other drugs.

Mack, Mrs. Nack's husband. 1t is a
question whether Mack will be allowed
to testify against his wife when she
is put on trial for her life.
1t is understood that when the defense
is closed Mrs. Mack will be called by the
prosecution in rebuttal to repeat her con-
fession accusing Thorn of the murder.
District Attorney Youngs did not want
to put Mrs. Mack on the stand because
she made an unfavorable impression on

offer made by some local devotees of the

come Stanford may alter it's plans and
be in the city so as to meet the Quakers

possibility that the Carlisle Indian team
may be permitted to visit California, in
