Coffee is hidden but powerful
enemy to ones progress in life. Its
subtle, narcotic poison weakens
heart, interferes with digestion and
has definite and destructive effect
on the nervous system. People who
are content to load themselves with
impediments to progress, who refuse
to supply body with food and drink
of the kind needed to make up for
the daily disintegration of nerve and
tissue, must stand aside in the race
for pre-eminence.
The ones who are properly fed,
will surely win the laifrels.

Postum Food Coffee furnishes the
gluten and phosphates Of grain need
ed by Nature to nourish brain and
nerves with food. 1t does not narco-
tize and tear down. 1t is frequently
misjudged on first trial, because OF
improper preparation, but it will be
found to be most delicious bever-
age if, after boiling commences, it be
allowed to continue boiling for IS
minutes. This is necessary to ex-
tract the food value and flavor.
There are those who are entirely
careless as to what goes into the
stomach, but the one who would
make all his movements tend toward
health and possible greatness, cannot
afford to risk 4adulterated food or
drink or even coffee.

BOOKER T. WASHINGTON.
Felix Adler Would Place Him Above
Cecil Rhodes.

New York, April Sin his address
before the Society for Ethical Culture,
at Carnegie hall. Felix Adler contrast
ed the methods and life work of Cecil
Rhodes and Booker T. Washington.
and argued that MIR. Washington is
the better entitled to rank us bene-
factor of humanity.
From our point of view" said he,
Il am sure that while the Americans
see the brilliant side of the proposed
union they will Ike quick to see the
practical objections. and ask if the
flower of our youth should spend three
years of their lives at OXford-not the
most progressive. by the way, by far
of the worlds colleges. In these
years public sentiment will say they
should become rooted to their own soil
and lit themselves for the conditions
that kNist here and the ideals handed
down by their fathers.
MIR. Washington concluded Mr..
Adler, "contrasted with Cecil Rhodes,
seems of very small stature. He is
much magnilied when We think OF his
life work, the real benefits he has con-
ferred and his influence on the moral
character of his race. He has taught
them no dream of conquest. no theory
of perfecting equality with the whites.
He found the two chief faults of his
race TO be a desire for social equality
and Incidence. He has given up none
of their rights. nor has he taught them
to forego these rights. He has taught
them that recognition would come II
they deserved it. and has shown them
how TO deserve it"

PATRICK SENTENCED TO DEATH.
Appeal May Not Be Decided Within .

New York, April S.-Albert T. Pat
rick, who was convicted March 18th
of the murder Of William Marsh Rice.
was sentenced yesterday by Recorder
Con to be put to death in the electric
chair at Sing Sing May 9TH. Rice died
in this city September %, 1900. An ap-
peal to be made to the Court Of APP

q stay of execution pending a decision
by the higher court. The recorder. in
pronouncing sentence, made no COM
ment on the jury's verdict.
The recorder denied the motion for .
new trial. Mr. House took an excep-
ton and moved for an arrest Of judg-
ment. This was denied and sentence
was then pronounced by the recorder.

possible, by agreement between the

torney and the recorder. 1t is doubt
full IL the case will be In shape to be
sent to the highest court in the state
before the end Of the summer. There
Is slim chance that the Court of Ap-

judgment is reversed and a new trial
