hours.
The plan OF operation is to set up

side, uniting the two by the proper deck

CREW LOST.
All Hands on the Advances b.
IiGVed 10 Have Perished.

st. John, N. b., Jan. S.-Neither the rel-
atives OF the crew nor the owners OF tha
St John schooner Advance. host during
severe storm off Rye Beach, N. H..
nearly a month ago. have had any tidins
OF the crew. and 1t is now generally ac-
cepted as a fact that all hands were lost
The schooner was bound for Boston
with a cargo of lumber. The battered
hulk drifted ashore near the life saving
station at Wallis Sands.
The masts were gone, the decks swept
practically clean and nowhere was there
any sign OF the crew. There was a hope
that the men had been taken off by some
vessel but as rescue has never been
reported little doubt remains but that all
were lost.
Capt. S. Q. Wells, the keeper OF the life
saving station at Wallis Sands writes
that he is satisfied the Advance capsized
and the crew drowned, the vessel after
wards righting. The boat OF the schooner
was afterwards picked up at Plum Island,
Mass, II to 15 miles eastward OF the
Wallis Sands station.

FOR POOR JEWS.
Model Town Is to Be Estab-
Iishsd Near Philadelphia.

Philadelphia, Jan. s.-Rabbi Joseph
Krauskopf before the Reform Congrega-
ton Keneseth Israel today gave dag
nosis OF the evils in congested districts
OF cities which are inhabited principally
by Jews and announced that as a remedy
n model industrial town for these Jews
was to be established near this city.
The plan was first announced at a din
ner given last November by Joseph j.
Byers TO Spencer Trask. of New York, at
which were present Theodore G. Search.
Robert c. Ogden and many other prom
inent men.
Rabbi Krauskopf said: "It is difficult
for a father of a Ghetto family TO es-
cape consumption, for a mother TO es-
cape prostration. for boy TO escape con-
tamination, for a girl TO escape pollution.
THE new remedy proposes TO move
whole settlements Of these people TO the
suburbs or villages close by and to locate
there factories and homes, affording OPP
portunities for owning such homes.
"And I'm all this regeneration there Is
not one cent OF charity. for the money
that will be expended on the scheme will
earn per cent"
Rabbi Krauskopf would not give fur
ther details, but IL is understood that
prominent New Workers and Philadel-
phians are back OF the plan.

The work OF rescue was at once taken
up by many hands. volunteers as wen as
firemen, but the flames spread with such
incredible speed that IL was beyond hu-
man effort 10 prevent the loss of life.
Ambulances from all OF the hospitals
were on the ground almost as soon as the
fire companies and the residences In the
neighborhood were thrown open to re-

ambulances were started to the hospitals

children, but In several cases the little
ones were dead when taken from the

of the asylum building was totally de-

All Right II of the Right Kind of Food
The difference brought about by
the use of well selected food, is well
shown in the experience of a girl at
tending high school and boarding her
self.
She says: "My housekeeping
compelled early rising, aud used to
become very sleepy over my books.
To keep awake, resorted to the use
of strong coffee, and in short time
began to have dull, stupid feeling.
No appetite. but feeling of gone
ness l realized that 1 must eat
something or faint in the class room.
would wash down a little breakfast
with another cup of coffee.
IL began growing thin, pale and
nervous. and made very unsatis-
factory advancement in my studies.
'One day the good wife of one of our
professors asked me if felt well. as
l appeared so weak and nervous. Be-
tween my sobs / managed to relate
my woes She sa " where the trouble
lay. and advised me to leave off tea
and coffee and take up Postum Food
Coffee and Grape-Nuts Food.
81 followed her advice and found
the Postum delicious beverage, and
the Grape-Nuts just what l wanted
So nv breakfast consisted of little
fruit, saucer of Grape-Nuts. and a
cup of Postum, an ideal breakfast.
''If. at night. felt the need of
something to eat before retiring, ate
a little Grape-Nuts.
my head grew clearer, my checks
rosy. and gained so rapidly in health
that all my acquaintancas remarked
upon it"
There is a reason. for both Postum
and Grape-Nuts contain the elements
from natures store house that the
body uses to rebuild the brain and
nerve centers throughout. These
wonderful food elements are pre-
sented in such fascinating form that
users stick to them year after year,
and very greatly to their benefit.

lady can be given by the Postum Ger
