The Grand Lodge Of Free and Accepted
Nfasous has once more demonstrated that
where there is a demand on behalf of
charity it does not go unnOticed in the
fraternity. At the previous session Of
the Grand Lodge there was an appeal for
funds with which TO continue the con-
struCtiOn of the Widows and Orphans
Home, just dedicated at Decoto. That
body donated 10000.
Yesterday it was announced in the
Grand Lodge that it was the intention TO
put the home in operation on the first of
next January. but 10 do that there was
required money with which to furnish
the institution and money with which to
pay running expenses. Without debate
the Grand Lodge. by a unanimous vote
donated $50 900 TO the fund for running eX-
penses and then added $1,000 toward the
furnishing of the premises.
During the forenoon the time of the rep
reSentatiVeS was taken up in the con-
sideration Of a number of reports. In
the afternoon there was the annual cleo

MISS MAY HOFFMAN
AS A TRAINED NURSE
THE YOUNG SOCIETY LADY SUR.
PRISES HER FRIENDS.
Left Wednesday Evening to Take a
Three Years Course in Bellevue
Hospital, New York.

To many of Miss May Hoffman's
friends it will be a surprise to learn that
she has gone to New York to enter the
Bellevue Hospital, where she will take a
tnree years course with a view Of be-
coming a trained nurse. This young lady
is the talented daughter of Southland
Hoffman, the clerk of the United States
Circuit Court. She started alone last
Wednesday evening for the East. Miss
Hoffmans decision was not according
to the wishes of her family, as she had a
brilliant future before her in other walks
of life. For some time past she has been
one of the leading lights in San Fran
cisco's social circles. in which sphere she
filled very important place, as have all
of her relatives, who have and do now oc-
cupy prominent positions in Federal
offices.
In her social position Miss Hoffman
became interested in works of charity,
and this led her to become interested in
the management of the Children's Home.
With the greatest of interest she watched
the nurses who cared for the little ones,
upon herself a life of charitable useful
ness. Society's calls did not appeal to
her so loudly as the cries of the little
sufferers, and her relatives believed that
If she ever broke from the former and
applied herself to caring for the latter 1t
would be in the Children's Hospital in
which she had taken so great an interest
However, recently the young lady decid-
ed that the field here was not large
enough, and she announced her Intention
of going to the New York institution and
there pass through the entire course
necessary in order to become trained
nurse.
To the protests of her family she
turned a deaf ear, and so earnest was
she that at last all objections were with
drawn, and she departed with the best
wishes of all who had been informed.
Miss Hoffmans intimate friends con-
slider it strange that one reared as she
has been should give up a life of luxury

One of my former classmates, Mrs.
z. Kinsley of % estfeld, Mass, seemed
greatly surprised that I h. never used
Postum The family were very enthu-
siastic over its effect upon them Said
they could not enjoy L. without it.
The physician had recommended total
abstinence from coffee, as she had in
jured her digestive organs by using it,
and was considered q confirmed and in
durable dyspeptic, but when put upon
Postum Cereal Food Coffee, she i'm
mediately began to get well, and left
off the drugs and the coffee. Now she
is able TO eat anything she likes with
out the least symptom Of disease. Her
life before had been one or suffering,
and 1t is now one of enjoyment She
said II would be impossible to speak too
highly in its praise.
when I was in Westfeld eight years
ago I visited Mr.. Albert Atkins, who
was then a very great sufferer. Both
he and his friends did not think it
possible for him to live mo than a
short time. 1 found him so well on
this visit that 1 insisted upon knowing
what made the change He said he
had visited every point Of the compass,
and tried almost everything he had
ever heard recommended, but all of no
avail, until he was led by the Postum
Cereal articles TO suspect that the lit
tie coffee he drank was really poison
ing him day by day, and from the
very time that he quit coffee entirely
and began to use Postum he began to
get better. He is a very wealthy man
and travels a great deal, but says he
never leaves homo for one night with
out his outfit Of Postum.
While at Jamaica Plains, Mass, 1
visited q retired sea captains home.
He said in all his experience, far and
near, on land or water, he had never
found any beverage that would COM
pare with Postum Cereal Food Coffee.
While he used to drink coffee he
suffered with headaches. drowsiness
and an unnatural thickening Of the
blood but since quitting the common
coffee and using Postum he was free
from all his ailments. 1 drank my
first cup of Postum with him. and to
my surprise found it q very delicious,
palatable drink, which / have since
used with favorable results I cannot
tell half Of what I heard in praise of
Postum during my visit in the East
1t is sufficient to say that Postum has
very firm foothold with my Eastern
friends
i wish to add that on one or two oc
casions 1 have had Postum served to
me rather fiat, but always know in
such cases that 1t is simply because it
has not been allowed to boil long
enough to bring out the delicate and
Well-known flavor"
