Evening Session.

Hon. Frank L. Coombs, State Libra
rian, presided at the evening session,
and introduced Professor Herbert c.
Nash, Librarian of the State Univer-
sity, who delivered a comprehensive
and instructive address on "The State
Library as Copyright Depository
Professor Nash told of the effort made
by committee appointed for the pur-
pose to have two copies of every copy
righted book placed in the library at
San Francisco. He explained how
Senator Perkins had introduced the bill
drawn up by the committee. and pro-
vfding that five copies of every copy
righted volume should be placed with
the Librarian at Washington, two with
the Librarian at San Francisco and
two at several other libraries In the
United States.
A cry had gone up that San Fran
cisco was trying to get something for
nothing, and the objections Of the pub
fishers had been voiced by the press,
until at length the members of the COM
mittee themselves were not sure they
were not scoundrels. He cited Eng
land and Portugal, where similar ar
rangements as that proposed maintain
with general satisfaction to the people
at large. /
Congress, however, had declined to
pass the bill to amend the copyright
laws, so that, SO far as practical re-
suits were concerned, the committee
stood precisely where it did a year ago.
In dealing with the future aims of
the committee, Professor Nash said it
proposed to prepare and have intro
duced another bill providing that the
Librarian at Washington be instructed
to furnish the State Librarian at Sac
ramento with duplicate copy Of every
book copyrighted Sacramento. he
said, was the natural capital Of the Pa
cific Coast. as Washington was the
natural capital Of the East, and the
committee worked on the theory that
If they could not get what they want
ed they would take what they could
get.
w. III. Mills, in discussing the paper,
inquired whether in the State Library
there is enough shelf room for five
copies each of the 10000 or - 600 VOL
umes copyrighted annually. There are,
he said, vast numbers Of volumes copy
righted that are worthless. and not en-
titled to shelfroom in any library He
could understand the necessity of hav-
ing q copy Of every volume copyrighted
kept in the library at Washington, in
order that infringements should not be
made, but were an attempt made to

II is an interesting study to observe
how the digestion of food is accom-
plished. The greater part of vegetable
food is starch, and this is never digest
ed in the stomach proper, nor is it ef-
fected by the pepsin in the upper
stomach.
Starch ca carbohydrate is passed
out Of the stomach into the duodenum,
or second stomach, and there treated
by the pancreatic juices, when III time
microscopic fungi is grown from a
part of the grain, if that has been
eaten, and these elements, with moist
ure, heat and time. transform the
starch into grape sugar, which is the
first act of digestion.
The processes are duplicated in an
artificial or mechanical way in the
manufacture of Grape Nuts, the new
breakfast food made by the Postum
Cereal Co. Gim.) of Battle Creek. Mich.
In this food one finds the delicate,
sweet taste Of grape sugar, and when
eaten it Will be found to quickly digest
and fatten and strengthen the entire
body.
It's especial mission is to nourish and
rebuild the brain and nerve centers.
a certain definite feeling of strength
and stamina comes to the individual
after a few days use of Grape Nuts at
breakfast
Being a condensed food, one does not
require more than 3 to teaspoonfuls
at a meal which is worth considering
from an economical standpoint.

ter out of service is one of the questions
that is giving the department consider
able concern. The President has dis
cussed this matter with Secretary AL
ger and General Corbin, and after going
over the various phases of the situation,
has directed them to think over all the
questions and recommend what is found
to be best in their judgment. The
army probably will be reduced to 100,-
600 men, and the other volunteer troops
aside from that number viii be mus
tered out as soon as the department
can conveniently do so.
1t is believed at the department that
now that there is no more fighting to
do the volunteer troops will be anxious
TO retire from service and get back to
their various avocations. The large
force is a great drain upon the country,
not only in the matter of pay and sub
siStence of the army, but on account
of so many men being away from their
various employments. 1t is thought
that 100000 men viii be sufficient to
guard the points occupied by the army.
1t is also considering the matter of
taking care of the Spanish soldiers in
Cuba and Porto Rico If they shall be
found in want. These soldiers are in q
serse prisoners of war, and while the
United States Government is not bound
TO care for them under the terms Of the
protocol, yet in the cause of humanity,
neither Cubans nor Spaniards will be
allowed to so without food. In case it
is found necessary to furnish supplies
to the Spanish soldiers, the Spanish
Government would be expected to REIN
burse this Government for its outlay.

to enter and leave all Cuban and Porto

holds that no further proclamation is
needed raising the blockade Of these
islands. The orders issued to the mill

Presidents proclamation Of peace are
said to be sufficient in themselves to
end the blockade, and open all ports to
the shipping Of the world. This means
much not only to Spain and the be-
