DOCTORS AGREE ON FOOD.

All physicians agree that good food properly
selected is Of the utmost Importance not only for
the cure Of disease. but to maintain health even
when one is WELL
Dr. VIM. Hale Of IA Pleasant ST., Gloucester

word for Postum Food Coffee with which l have
been enabled to relieve many sufferers, and
which count, with its valued companion Grape
Nuts one Of the daily blessings.
Coffee was banished from my own table some
time ago and Postum used regularly in its place.

when they take Postum Coffee for the first time
to be quite that 1t has been boiled long enough
to bring out the clear black color and the rich
taste, as well A. the health giving qualities.''

Busy Day at the Busy Corner.

This was another busy day at s. Kann
Sons & Co.'S big emporium, where was in
augurated on yesterday a grand Offering
of black silks. AS on yesterday the store
was crowded all day by patrons who know
what. bargains are to be had there. That
this well-known firm was able to make such
a display Of rare articles so much wanted
by women was due to the fact that $4,000
worth of black silks of all kinds was pur-
chased week ago. 1t was big under
taking at this time of the year, but the
interest taken IN the selections Is such as
to warrant the belief that no mistake was
made.

COOLEST OF THE WINTER
MERCURY REACHED FIVE ABOVE
THIS MORNING.
VIII Go still Lower TOnight-Plenfy
of Rain Scheduled for Tomor-
row Night.

The record for cold in Washington for the
winter was given compound fracture this
morning when at o'clock the mercury
reached a minimum Of degrees above
Zero 1t was biting morning, and those
who were compelled to venture out at that
early hour, or even later, were glad to
duck their heads within their coat collars
and thrust their hands within their pock-
cts to keep from freezing.
The sun shone brightly all the forenoon,
and at 9 o'clock the mercury was on an
upward climb that was noticeable. At
o clock this afternoon the thermometer at
The Evening Star building had reached 25
above, although the weather was still pierre
ing.
Genuine Thaw Coming.
While last night was the coolest night
of the winter hereabouts, the government
forecaster is confident in the prediction that
tonight will be still colder But relief is IN
sight. The weather will moderate very
perceptibly tomorrow, and by night the
streets will be sloppy enough to sail a boat
therein.
There is rain storm central over Colo
RADIO today, and it is expected to make it's
advent into Washington not later than to-
| morrow evening. 1t is moving eastward
with a rapid velocity, and out at the
weather bureau they are confident that it
will reach us on schedule time.
This means, of course, that we will lose
| our snow and sleighing. The temperature
| is rising rapidly in the west and plenty OF
| rain is reported in the southwest. There is
no immediate danger of a flood in and
| around Washington by the thaw that is ex-
| pected unless heavy rains should continue
| In that event considerable havoc may be
| wrought.
| The lowest previous descent of the mer.
| curry during the present winter was on De.
| cember %, when the official thermometer
| recorded degrees above.

II is significant, when one thinks
of it, that the teaching of folklore
stories and great masterpieces oflit.
etature is, in the main. in the direo-
ton Of kindness to animals AL
though the animal is sometimes
represented as mans foe, Or killed
for mans use, there is no wanton
cruelty in any Of the old legends,
and not seldom the hero who be-
friends the animals is in turn be-
friended by them
Some Of the oldest legends repre-
sent man as talking familiarly with
the members Of the brute creation
The "Uncle Renus" stories, many
Of which are known to have been
brought in almost precisely their
present form from Africa to the
plantations of the southern states
inculcate this idea and ode crea-
turs" appear to the mind of the
child and childlike adult, who hear
these stories, as friends to be loved
and trusted. Japanese folklore pre-
sents the same idea and the Hindu
mythology Is full Of it. In Morse
and Saxon legends the faithful dog
often appears and in the folklore
Of the American Indian we have
again the notion of companionship
between men and animals.
This indicates that from the very
earliest times there has been an
idea more or less clearly brought
out as mankind became more and
more enlightened that kindness and
not cruelty should be observed to-
ward the brute creation. The In.
dian tortured his enemies he re-
garded it as an honor paid to cour-
age; but he did not wantonly tor
ture his few domestic beasts.
Whatever cruelty appears in his
treatment of them is due to care
lessness and ignorance. It is only
the degenerate civilized man who
deliberately, intentionally and un.
profitably torments a helpless ami
NAL.
