POSTUM CEREAL.
SECRET WORKER
The Plan Upon Which Coffee Operates

Coffee is such a secret worker that 1t
is not suspected as the cause of sick
ness or disease, but there Is very sure
way to find out the truth.
= A lady in Memphis gives an interest
ing experience her husband had with
coffee. 1t seems that he had been
using it for some time and was an in
valid.
The physician in charge shrewdly
suspected that coffee was the worm
at the root of the tree" and ordered II
discontinued with instructions to use
Postum Food Coffee res 'larly In Its
place.
The wife says: I'VE found that was
the true remedy for his stomach and
heart trouble and we would have glad
ay paid hundred times the amount OF
the doctors charge when we found how
wise his Judgment was.
THE use of Postum instead OF coffee
was begun about year ago, nd 1t has
made my husband strong, we'll man.
He has gained thirty-five pounds in
that time and his stomach and heart
trouble have all disappeared.
'"rhe first time prepared it did not
boil it long enough and he said there
was something wrong with it. Sure
enough 1t did taste very fiat, but the
next morning / followed directions
carefully, boiling it for fifteen minutes,
and he remarked this is better than
any of the old coffee
I'VE use Postum regularly and never
tire Of telling our friends of the benefit
we have received from leaving off the
old fashioned coffee" Name given by

ACCEPTS OFFER
TO SELL LAND

The Supervisors joint Public Util-
tiles and Finance Committee yester-
day voted to accept the offers made
to sell Mission blocks S6 and 81,
bounded by Dolores and Church.
Eighteenth and Twentieth streets, to
the city for park in the Mission under
the bond issue.
Attorney Joseph Naphthaly, repre-
senting the Congregation Emanu-E
and the Eureka Benevolent Associa-
ton, the owners of one of the blocks,
submitted an abstract Of title to the
property and agreed to convey the
block to the city free of all incum-
brances for $4,000. Attorney Wall
lace Wise, representing the Congrega-
ton Sheriff. Israel, agreed to sell the
other block for $4,000.
Wise objected to the city holding
out a portion of the amount set aside
in the bond issue for the purchase Of
the lands to pay for the expense of
the printing of the bonds. The COM
mittee said that the expense would
amount to $3.50 and the owners
agreed to share this.
1t was stated that the two offers
aggregated the entire sum of the bond
issue for Mission Park, amounting to
S292,000, which was less than the
market value of the properties, these
having been appraised at s303.000 at
the time of the submission of the park
panhandle bond proposition. Both
blocks were formerly used for the
Jewish cemeteries.
The committee voted unanimously
to accept the offers of the religious So
cieties subject to the final approval of
the City Attorney.
Assistant City Attorney John P.
Coghlan explained that 1t would be
necessary to secure abstracts Of title
of lands proposed to be purchased
for the Golden Gate Park and Presi-
dio Extension. Coghlan's suggestion
that bids for the abstracts be invited
was adopted and he was asked to pre-
pare the necessary specifications
therefor.

IDEALS FOUND WANTING.

The ethical ideals of the Orient and their
priesthood have been tried and found wanting.
There is no nation in the world with higher
ideals than Brahmanical India, and no ma
tion has failed so gnominiousiy to reach them.
The idea that commercialism is Christianity
is absolutely false. Commerciallsm carries
with it destructive elements of civilization. as
is witnessed in the slave trade in Africa, the
American Indian and the disappearance of
WHOLE tribes in the Pacific. especially Hawaii.
where the vices of civilization have been
taken without the virtues.
Commercialism is not Christianity.
The handwriting on the wall points to the
djsmemberment Of China. the disintegration of
commerce. The salvation of the Orient de-
pends upon the principle of a Daniel, in whom
Is the spirit Of the living God.
After service the ladies of st. Luke S
served a sumptuous luncheon. at which
the following were invited guests: Bish-
op and Mrs. Nichols, Bishop Logan
Herbert Roots and Mrs. Roots, who
;; leave for China to-day; Rev. Burr M.
Weeden and Mrs. Weeden, Rev. Mr.. and
Mrs. WaIkley, Rev. David Evans, Rev.
w: E. Hayes, Rev. w. M. Bours and
Rev. H. B. Collier. Owing to indisposi-
tion the Right Rev. Bishop Restarick
of Honolulu was unable to be present.
The semi-annual meeting, which fol-
lowed, was presided over by Bishop
Nichols. Mrs. James Newlands, presi-
dent of the California branch of the
Woman's Auxiliary to the Board Of Mis-
sions, and other officers were on the
platform.
BISHOPS CONGRATULATION
Bishop Nichols delivered an address
of felicitation, in which he took occa-
sion to congratulate the asSemblage
upon its great rally and the spiritual
warmth and increasing efforts as shown
in its labors. He paid a special tribute
to the work of Miss Patterson, who

Mrs. Susan S. LAWYER, secretary, gave
a stirring account of the work of the
delegation to the convention in Boston,
and paid a hearty tribute to Mrs. Will
liam Ford Nichols and the other ladies
associated with her.
An impassioned address was deliv-
cred by Howard Richards Jr. of New
York City, young man who starts out
to the mission field in Central China to-
day to take up educational work in the
Boone school. Richards, who played
right halfback in the Yale football team
in 1899, is full of the missionary spirit
as was evidenced in his address.
Mrs. Roots gave a graphic account OF
missionary work, and Bishop Roots
who with his wife has done much work
in the field, told his hearers of the kind
of effort that is needed-primariiy the
teaching Of the natives that they may
in turn go out and teach and spread
the word of the gospel among their
own.
DR.. Teusler of ST. Luke's Hospital,
Toxic, who also leaves to-day for the
Orient. spoke interestingly of the medi-
cal results and increased usefulness OF
the hospital in the missionary field. DR..

The condition of affairs in Russia
seems to grow more serious every day.
The assassination of Grand Duke Ser
gius at Moscow was a terrible affair.
1t had been known for long time
that he had been marked for death and
he is the fourth in the series Of assas-
sinations in the last two years. Ser
gius has been regarded by all persons
as the most reactionary man in all
Russia. He always looked upon the
common people as deserving Of no more
consideration than the beasts of the
field and considered the mobiles and
royalties as distinctive race He has
kept himself in hiding for many
