A SCIENTIFIC BREAKFAST.

Rightly selected food will cure more
than half the diseases. Try "a scientific
and healthy breakfast-fruit of some
kind, preferably cooked; dish of Grape
Nuts, with cream; two soft boiled eggs.
Put two eggs in tin pint cup of boiling
water, cover and set off for nine minutes.
Whites will then be the consistency of
cream and most easily digested. One
slice of bread with butter; cup of Post
um Cereal Food Coffee.
On that breakfast you can work like a
horse and be perfectly nourished until
noon. Your nervous troubles, heart pal
pitation, stomach and bowel troubles,
kidney complaints and various other
disorders will gradually disappear and
firm solid health will set in.
Why? You have probably been living
on poorly selected food, that is food that
does not contain the required element 5
the body needs. That sort of food, and
coffee, is the direct or indirect cause of
more than half the ills the human body
acquires.
Grape-Nuts is perfectly cooked food
and both that and the Postum Food
Coffee contain fine microscopic particles
of phosphate of potash obtained in a nat
ural way from the grains of the field and
by scientific food experts incorporated
into food and drink. That element joins

man or woman thus fed is scientif-
cally fed and rapidly grows in vigor and
vitality, and becomes capable of conduct
ing successfully the affairs of life. To
produce perfect body and a money MAX
ing brain, the body must have the right
kind of food and the expert food special
list knows how to make it. That is

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
sAPHo AT THE JEFFERSON.

fNAL ~ ~ LIE bA1i L iIiAfooNs
There is certainly magic in a NAME
and Sapho proved the magnet that
drew a crowd to the jefferson last night
that filled every seat in the house and
every inch of standing space, There is
reason for this, too, and that not one of
morbid curiosity, since the audience
was representative of Portland refinement
and culture to marked degree. True
the play had had some notoriety in the
metropolis, the outcome of managerial
skill carried little too far. But Sapho
was run through the crucible and found
to be just as pure play as many of the
masterpieces and utterly void of low
vulgarity in which too much of the lat
ter day stage literature abounds. But
then, who could ever have accused that
grand portTayer of the human passion,
divine Alphonse Daudet, of vulgarity.
In Americanizing the beautiful French
that flows from that writer's gifted
pen it's true powerful changes could have
taken place. But as viewed last night
when the Olga Nethersole version was
used-and let it. be said that last night
was the first presentation of Daud ct 5
play in this city there was not one
word or action that could bring the
i1luSn Vi Hihtlilt 10 the CHEEK Oh any one
present. In the stead however, the au-
dience was RECALLED with love story of
intense interest beautifully por trayed
and deliberately staged. The original
stair case scene was given and was
greeted with a number of curtain calls.
So great was the impression created that
Sapho will be continued Friday and
Saturday night and matinees. Miss
Rober is admirably fitted in every way
for the role in age, appearance, stage
experience and general dramatic strength,
while the company renders the same
quality of support for viii CHI the organi-
cation is noted in the entire repertoire.
MISS ANNIE RUSSELL
Miss Annie Russell and ''Miss Hobbs
will be at the jefferson Theater, tonight.
Miss Russell has recently closed trium-
plant run of over $50 performances at the
Lyceum Theater, New York Her success
this season has been even greater than
that she made last year in Catherine. "
The play in which she has done this, and
which Charles Frohman has chosen for |
the second season of his management of |
this attractive star, is by Jerome X. |
Jerome, author of "Three Men in "a |
Boat, " Idle Thoughts of an Idle Eel |
low and other humorous writings. The |
New York press credit him with having |
told a very pretty love story in sort Of |
- Katharine and Petruchion way in Miss |
Hobbs, and say that sitting through the |
play is like reading one OF his books, there |
is enjoyment in every line of it. They |
also say Miss Russeil's role gives her OPP
