The Benefits of Membership TO Be
Shown to Visitors.

There will be a special reception at the
Young Mems Christian Association this
evening. rendered to the men of Wash
ington who contemplate joining the as
sociation. The various branches of the
association work, including the gym
nasium classes. will be in full operation
for the inspection Of those interested.
This reception will be given under the
auspices of the ''Maroons," and the MEM
bers of this division Of the membership
committee will be on hand to fully eX-
plain the many privileges OF the associ-
alton. and show visitors through the
building. A very interesting musical and
literary programme has been arranged.
For the past month very unique con-
test has been going on among the associ-
alton men of Washington. With the OBJ
ject of increasing the number of members
of the association to the full capacity
of the building, the membership COM
mittee was divided into two camps. One
side is urder the leadership of John b
Sleman. jr., and is known as the
"Greys." while the other is led BY Charles
+. Nesbit. and is known the
.'Maroons'' Much enthusiasm has been
aroused, and there is intense interest in
the outcome
The contest will close at $50 p. m,
November L. At this time. the side hay
ing the greater number Of points will be
declared, and the losing side, acting as
walters, win serve the winners of the
contest with a fine turkey dinner. to be
furnished by the association. After this
dinner the members of the losing side
are to eat mush and milk. The cCntest is
open to all members of the association.
and a very large number are actively en-
gagged. including many Of the members
of the board of directors. All are max
ing strenuous efforts TO secure as many
members for the association as possible.
For every dollar paid into the assG-
Cia ton on account Of dues. a point Is
given TO the side securing the member.
All new members are enrolled on the side
through whose influence they Were in
hucnCed to Join the association, and they
become Interested in the outcome of the
conts st also.
At the last members meeting over 400
new members had thus been brought into
the association. Up TO last Saturday
night the side having the lead was
shown each evening by indicators, such
as are used in the street cars. in the
office of the association, and by either
a grey or maroon pennant on the nag
staff Of the building From now until
the close Of the contest it will not be
known which side is in the lead except
to the secretary of the association and
the booklIeeper.
Ii would seem that no possible plan
could have been devised to arouse more
wholesome feeling Of cordiaiity amorg
the members. II is understood that this
plan has been used with great success
by the secretaries Of the associations in
other cities.
The occasion of the dinner. next Nor
dav evening. will in all probability be
the event Of the season. All men Hho
desire to see the building ar. invited TO
visit the association this evening

Last year it is stated that the pupils In
Roman Catholic parochial schools in the
United States were S53. 725. and it is esti-
mated that the cost of teaching them,
raised by voluntary contributions, was
over $21, 100000. This does not include the
expense of academies and other higher
institutions of learning. THE principle
appears to be settled. and we believe
rightly" observes the Congrega tionalist.
that no sectarian teaching shall be al
lowed in our public schools. We hope the
time Is not far distant when the Bible,
the literature of greatest influence in the
world. will be "a textbook in these
schools, and when those religious truths
which all Christians accept will be taught
in them. But the contrast between the
work done by Roman Catholics for the
children OF this country and that done
by the much larger body of Protestants

GROWING CHILDREN.
The Period When the Nervous Ac-
tivity is at Its Greatest.
The Home Doctor:


The Home Doctor:
Against the practice Of giving tea and
coffee to children, we cannot speak too
| strongly Childhood is the period when
the nervous activity is at its greatest.
The brain is ever busy receiving new i'm
pressions. Reflex action, coordination of
muscles and the special senses are all
under a special course of training
The nervous system is pushed to its
utmost capacity, and long is the list of
victims that follow its over-stimulation.
In these little people nothing but harm
can come from the use of such cerebral
stimulants as tea or coffee. Bad, then, as
this practice IS let us as physicians be
aggressive in its prohibition.
Do not be satisfied by answering No
when asked as to its use but let us teach
the families with whom we come in con-
tact that such practice is evil. We speak
emphatically, because not only among the
poor and uneducated. but among the
rich, who should know better this prac-
tice is marvelously prevalent"
Children like A warm beverage for
breakfast and it is well for them to have
1t If the drink is a food and not drug.
Postum Food Coffee is made TO supply
a rich nourishing liquid food with a crisp
coffee taste, for those who cannot and
should not use coffee. Analysis shows 1t
to contain about IA per cent. or muscle
forming elements and 66.11 per cent. of
energy and fat producing elements, which
go to noursh and sutan the delicate
nerve centers throughout the body and
from which the vital energy proceeds.
The supreme importance of proper food
in place of drugsNi not generally under
Stood but the success of child or adult
depends largely upon proper sustenance
for the body. Children who depend upon
the intelligence of their elders to furnish
them with good food deserve our most
careful attention and thought upon this
subject
