HOW TO BUILD A BODY.

One Of the most important discov-
cries of late is the application Of the
right kind of food to rebuild the lost
substances of the body, thrown off by
the active, nervous work of Americans.
Careful investigation by experts in
food and diatetics, has brought out the
fact that albumen, which is contained
in various foods, is acted upon by phos-
phate of potash, not such as obtained
in drug stores, but such as is found in
certain parts of the field grains in most
minute particles, arranged in natures
laboratory, not mans.
The part of the grains containing
phosphate Of potash is used in the man
11facture of Grape-Nuts food, therefore
Nhe active, nervous, pushing brain
worker can feed the body with food that
gees directly to the rebuilding of the
broken down gray matter in the brain,
solar plexus and nerve centers all over
the body, with the result that the midi
vfdual who refreshes and rebuilds the
body with proper material of this sort.
obtains a definite result, which he can
feel and know of and which is apparent
TO his friends.
A vigorous brain and nervous system
Is OF greater Importance to any busi-
( mess man or brain worker, than unlim-
14ed quantities OF money.

THE GOLDEN LEGEND.
Interesting Lecture by Mrs. A
X. Lewis Last Might.

The Sixth-street Methodist Church
was comfortably filled last night by an
appreciative audience, which listened to
a very interesting lecture by Mrs.
Amanda L. Lewis Of Denver, under the
auspices of the Tuesday Literary Club,
on THE Golden Legend
She took up the story as told by
Longfellow so beautifully. interspersing
narrative and comment with many
quotations from the poem that were
applicable to the scenes presented. The
lecture was illustrated by many fine
stereopticon views of places visited by
the hero and heroine Of the legend on
their way to Salerno, where the inter
est of the story eliminates. She takes
her hearers, by means of narration and
Illustration, over the route Travelled
by the young couple on their journey
in search of healing for Prince Henry.
The Rhine, the Alps, the bay of Ma
pies and the blue Mediterranean are
shown in turn, and after the close of
the portion relating to the lecture
proper the audience is brought back
home by way of Paris and London, the
principal attractions of those cities be-
ing shown, and they come back to
their native land across the ocean and
by way Of Denver, the Garden of the
Gods. the Royal Gorge and Salt Lake
City to the land of sunshine on the
Pacific Slope.
Her hearers manifested their pleasure
several times during the lecture. The

No New Departure.

These fools, ct id genus omne, talk
against the war upon the savages in
the Philippines as if Americans had
taken a new departure. One is left
to wonder if they ever read the his
tory of this country. From King
Phillips war in the time of our puritan
ancestors (who certainly were as moral
as We are) down to the wars on the
Seminoles in Florida Gin pacification of
territory acquired by purchase from a
foreign Power), to the wars with the
Apaches in Arizona Tin pacif1cation of
territory acquired by war and by pur-
chase from foreign Power), and pass
ing all other of the Indian wars from
the revolution down to the death of
Candy in the lava beds, and of Custer
at Wounded Knee and stopping at the
present Indian war between the United
States and the savages in the Philip
pines Gin pacification of territory ac-
quired by war and by purchase from a
foreign Power), what period has there
been from the time Of the earliest set
tlers to this time when we have not
been at war with some savage nation?
But, say the sentimentalists, you are
taking from the Fflipinos the land that
is theirs. The answer to that is a fiat
negative: Manila and all Of the towns
fortified by the Spanish in the Philip
pines would have withstood the attacks
of the Filipinos down to the end of the
days, if Dewey had not sent the Span
ish fleet to the bottom of the sea and
blockaded the port and made possible
the taking of the city by American SOL
diers. And the Philippines had been in
the possession and ownership of Spain
for upward of three hundred years up
to the time We acquired them by treaty
and purchase frcm Spain.-San Fran

the paper is a news and not a church

Fair Oaks Letter.
{Correspondence Record Union,

Correspondence Record Union.1
FAIR OAKS, June 13.-Two more
carloads OF orange trees have arrived,
end this time they are 'balled." 1t is
now well known that 1T does not pay
to plant 'unballed' orange trees. Many
are planting one and twO-year-o old
buds, delivered in the metallic forms !"
They are sure to grow. 1t is evident
from the appearance Of trees planted,
shipped in moss and packed in boxes,
that one year buds delivered in forms
will give the best trees to bring fruit
in good shape.
The large party who visited Fair
Oaks last Saturday failed to see all OF
this place, owing to the fatigue of the
horses, and the warm weather and the
difficulty in ascending and descending
the hills on the main road. 1t is enoug h
to weary any horse to haul any ordi-
nary load over these hills 1t is abso
lutely not safe to take such a party as
visited this place on Saturday through
Fair Oaks. 1t is not known whether
or not any of this party has the ear Of
any of the County Supervisors, but if
there was one in that party, that Super
visor will hear word concerning the
road now asked for A shorter and less
billy one passing through the more CEN
trail part of this town is not a matter
which will need to take much time to
consider.
Greater care will have to be needed
by those who use long range rifles in
shooting in the groves in Fair Oaks.
More than one person has heard the
singing of bullets too near to feel calm
while he hears the report of rifles. On
Saturday evening some hunter sent a
bullet from the grove between Mr.. Les
ter's and Mr.. Bishops houses, singing
by the ears of a traveller near MI.
Froebe's.
Mr.. O'Donnell has his residence
nearly completed, and will have it
ready for the reception of his daugh-
tiers, who will arrive this week. They
have been attending school at Seattle,
Wash.
The Grange met in regular session
last Saturday evening and added sew
eral members to the Patrons Of Hus-
bandry, while as many new applications
for membership were placed on file.
Childrens Sunday will be observed at

Roy Hunt of Santa Cruz is a guest

PRODUCING new varieties of food plants
among the people. Mr.. Phillips is de-
livering now food plant of the chi
discus genera distinguished for fine
jelly, which is made from the fruit of
the plant. The plant is an annual herb
of the mallow family. 1t is something
new here. This nursery has many new
things started for this climate. One
of the most valuable of trees and a
rapid grower is the gum tree Family

away insects, and is said to be pre-
ventive of malaria. Several species of
this plant will be introduced here the
