MOTHERS FEEL A GREAT RE-
SP0NSIBILITY In SELECT
ING FOOD.

The food either makes good healthy
children or it does not.
If they are not healthy, round and
rosy, ready for study or play, there is
probably something lacking in the food.
A sure body builder for children Cor
adults is Grape Nuts, the famous
ready-cooked food. and there is a
reason.
Grape-Nuts contain natural phos-
plate of potash and albumen obtained
from grains, and these elements COM
hine in the human body to form gray
matter in brain and nerve cells all
over. the body. Such nourishment
means vigor, snap, strength and force
of both mind and body. That is sci
entific feeding. Now add good hot
cup of Postum Cereal Food Coffee
well boiled, mind you), and a slice of
entire wheat bread and you have the
youngsters fed in way that will bring
the biggest kind of returns as they
grow up and you see what they accom-
pish because they have well built
bodies and good sturdy brains.
This is worth think about.

MRS. EMS CHIMERA.
Thinks Governor Gage Owes Her
Two Million Dollars.

officer M. P. Fisher and Special Of
ficer Almos yesterday removed Mrs.
Christine Ems, an elderly German wo-
man, from a K-street hotel to the
County Jail for safe keeping. She
showed evidences of insanity, and
among other chimeras imagined she
was in partnership with Governor Gage
and that he owed her So, 000,O 600, which
she was having difficulty in collecting.
She was imbued with the idea that an
election would take place on Monday
next, and asserted her intention to de-
liver a speech in opposition to the Gov
ernor unless he paid her before election
day.
Mrs. Ems, who was we'll supplied with
funds came to Sacramento about two
weeks ago, and going to an employment
office secured work at a ranch house
near Dunbar, in Butte County. She
stayed there but a few days when she
left, going, it is said, to Oakland, where
she claimed to have relatives who reside
at 53S Thirty second street. She will be

THE SWORD CONTEST.
A Change Of Programme and Two
Events Will Be Given.

Lewis Tronchet, master alarms of
the Olympic Club of San Francisco was
to have engaged in mounted. sword
contest at East Park to-day with Ivan
de Melchen, the noted swordsman who
defeated D. c. Ross at Memphis, Tenn,
and Captain S. N. Jennings at Seattle,
but at the last moment he disappointed
the management by sending word yes
terday that he would not come.
The management was determined,
however, not to disappoint the public
and has engaged Martinez, who is said
to be an expert in that line, to contend
with. De Melchen and also expects to
bring forward another fine swordsman
and thus have two excellent contests in
place of the one originally planned.
The Figler Brothers have done
everything in their power to accommo-
date the large crowd that will probably
be in attendance and the Second In
fantry Band, C. A. Neale, conductor, will
discourse lively music for the occasion.
AS the admission price is only 70 cents
and reserved seats for ladies are free,
it is expected that there will be large
attendance to witness SO novel an event.
Doors open at 2 p. m. and the contest
begins at D. M.

all these calamities arouse the heroic
side of human nature and attest abund

delights to lend aid in hours of peril and

these deeds of heroism is, that they are

The DAY IN GOTHAM.
Greatest Ever Seen-SalvatiOn
Army Feeds 10000 People.

New York, Dec. 25.-Church bells and
music, feaSting matineeS and happiness
generally were the features of tOday's
celebration. No one had to go without
a Christmas dinner today. The great
est eXemplificatiOn of this was seen at
the Madison Square Garden where the
Salvation army fed thousands by the
distribution of {, 200 baskets With food
enough for five persons in each basket.
Six thousand more dinners will be
served on the main floor at o'clock
this evening. From IL o'clock until
p. M, the distribution of the baskets
took place and the spectators in the
gallery and there are thousands of
them, were much edited by the spec
tacle. A musical and cinemetagraph
entertainment was given every hour
from IL O'Clock and will not conclude
until 10 o'clock tonight. Orchestral and
vocal music added to the enjoyment of
the occasion.
The early morning scenes at the Gar
den were as unusual as they were in
tereSting. Never before has charity
been dispensed on so large a scale, and
the Salvation Army people have been
working like beavers for a month to
make this prodigiOus dispensatiOn
success. Although provision was made
for feeding 10000 persons, at least half
again that number appeared and the
army officers by dint of strenuous eff
forts met the requirements in the public
institutions, the inmates were generous
ly provided with Christmas cheer by
the authorities. The neWsboys came in
for their share of good things at Brace
Memorial hall and various other places.
Every Sunday school in the city
either has habits Christmas tree or will
have its festivities tOnightA or some
time this week. Many of the public
school classes are holding exercises to-
day in various halls.
Owing to Christmas having fallen on
Monday an opportunity was afforded
people to leave town and many took
advantage Of the occasion. 1t is report
ed by the railroads that the out of town
travel on Saturday was unprecedented
and the incoming traffic of country Wis
itOrs seems to have been as great At
the theaters it is reported that the de-
mand for seats exceeded that of last
year and Christmas performances seem
to be as popular now as the proVerbial
pantOmimeS of years ago in England
At most of the churches in the city
there were elaborate musical programs
and there was a large attendance at all
of the services.
