Gen and Mrs A. E, Bates were hosts last
night at probably the largest St. Valentine
dinner ever given at the capital. The table
was laid In the white and gold ball room at
Rauscher's. the adjoining ball room being
used as the drawing room, where the guests
were received. 1t had tall clumps of palms
at graceful intervals and gilt furniture COM
fortabiy disposed. The dinner table was a
huge square all the space within the covers
making decoration in form of heart. 1t
was outlined with a border of smilax and
asparagus vine, in which electric lights
burned under tiny shades. In the center,
amid small clumps of ferns, were marble
cupids the center standing at least
three feet high. The four corners of the
table were glorious with poinsetta blooms
arranged in circular plaques, and with the
trailing blossoms from each making a frame
in red and green for the heart. The name
cards had original sentiments written by
Mrs. F. B. Swift, daughter of the hosts, on
valentines decorated with water-eolor Pfc
lures.
The guests were the Secretary of State
and Mrs. Root, the Secretary of War and
Mrs. Taft. the Attorney General. Justice
and Mrs Holmes, Senator and Mrs. Wet

French law requires the registration
OF all foreigners who go there to re-
side, Including students. This regis
tration is done at the Offices OF the
project of police in Paris or Lyons
or at the office Of the mayors in any
other parts OF France Any change of
address must be communicated to the
police. To secure this registration
and the. small certificates of identity
the foreigner must furnish either a
passport duly vised or consular af-
fidavit. The consul general cites two
or three instances illustrating, the
importance of carrying everywhere
papers to-. identify the bearer
One of these incidents is that of a
well known American woman who on
going to church one Sunday morning
was knocked down. by cab. She was
not seriously hurt, but was insensib.e
for several hours. No one knew who
she was and she carried no papers of
any kind. AS she was richly dressed
and wore valuable jewelry the police
were impressed and took care of her,
but she was taken to a city hospital.
Upon recovering she was taken to her

Free inspection of our factories and
methods is made by thousands of people

themselves are cordially invited. Both
Postum and Grape-Nuts are absolutely
pure and made exactly as stated.
The formula of Postum and the an
alysis made by one Of the foremost
chemists of Boston has been printed on
every package for many years and is ab-
solutely accurate.
Now as to the food value of Postum.
It contains the parts of the wheat berry
which carry the elemental salts such as
lime, iron, potash, silica, etc., etc., used
by the life forces to rebuild the cellular
tissue, and this is particularly true OF the
phosphate of potash, also found in
Grape-Nuts, which combines in the hui
man body will albumen and this COM
bination, together with water, rebuilds
the worn out gray matter in the delicate
nerve centers all over the body, and
throughout the brain and solar plexus.
Ordinary coffee stimulates in an un-
natural way, but with many people it
slowly and surely destroys and does not
rebuild this gray substance so vitality
important to the well-being of every
human being.
These are eternal facts, proven, well
authenticated and known to every prop

The human taffy puller has at last
succumbed to inventive genius and his
work can now be done by automati3

In the Wisconsin zinc field there are
Ii magnetic separation plants in opera
tion and it is said that this use of cleo
magnetism is greatly increasing
the yield of zinc in that district.
A new steel for tools Is being placed
on the market: it can be hardened by
simply heating to a high temperature
and allowing it to cool in the air. Tools
made out of this steel do uot become
soft through growing hot while being
worked.
A Munich professor has invented

made accurate shooting national
| trait of the American soldier is not in
| evidence as he was. Chairman Hull,
of the committee on military affairs
of the house, has urged increased pay
for expert riflemen in the army in Or
der to encourage sharpshoOting. In
discussing this subject the other day,
Mr. Hull, who is very much in earn
est. declared: -..
with the passing Of the frontiers
men, the trapper and the Indian fight
er, there has undoubtedly been
change in the character of the Ameri
can people. A few generations ago
hunting game was a necessity for the
existence of many men and for man
to be handy with a gun was the rule
and not the exception. The pictur-
esque woodmen have long ago disap-
peared from the east and in the west
the conditions are now so changed
that only on the plains and in the
most remote or lawless places does
man find it indispensable to be arm
ed always.
The departure from the old h2bit
grows wider every day. 1t was COM
mon thing for men who lived in my
fathers time, for instance, to be good
shots end to take pride in their ex-
ploits with the weapons used at that
tine. How many young men now go
into that sort Of thing as a regular
part Of their education? | venture to
say there is not one man in hundred
who knows how to handle a rifle or
ristol. The effect has been plainly
apparent in the kind Of men who
come up for enlistment in the army
now. Few of them know anything
about handling a gun. The reason in
creased pay was asked for expert
riflemen and sharpshooters was to en-
courage our soldiers to be crack
shots"

The Coffee Debate.

think Of Of course, if the person is one
of the weak ones and says Il can't quit
you will have discovered one of the
slaves of the coffee importer. Treat such
kindly, for they seem absolutely power
less to stop the gradual but sure destruc-
tion of body and health.
Nature has a way of destroying part
of the people to make room for the
stronger. 1t is the old law of "the sur
vival of the fittest' at work, and the
victims are many.
We repeat the assertion that coffee
does harm many people, not all, but an
army large enough to appal the investi-
gator and searcher for facts.
The next prevaricatiOn of the coffee
importers and roasters is their statement
that Postum Food Coffee is made OF
roasted peas, beans or corn, and mixed
with a low grade of coffee and that 1t
contains no nCurishment.

Get RID OF THE GAS
Or. Williams Pink Pills Strengthen
the Stomach and Enable II to
Do It's Work.

When the stomach is feeble the food
lies in it undigested, decays and throws
off poisonous gases that distend the
walls of the stomach and cause inter.
ference with other organs, especially
with the action of the heart and lungs.
These gases have other i'll effects. The
nerves and the brain are disturbed
and discomforts such as dizziness, hot
flashes, sleeplessness, irritableness and
dependency originate from this source.
Experience shows that these troubles
vanish just as soon as the stomach is
made strong enough to digest the food.
In other words, it needs tonic that will
rouse it to do the work of changing the
food into nourishment.
Miss Minerva @. Ladd, of Ipswich,
Mass, says I: ''I had weak stomach
from the time I was a little child.
Whenever took hearty food it would
cause terrible faintness, and I would
finally vomit what I had eaten. At
times there would be the most intense
pains through the upper part of my
body. For days in succession, would
have to lie down most of the time.
The distress was often so great that
could hardly bear it, and the frequent
and violent belching spells were very
disagreeable, too.
"My doctors medicines gave me little
relief and it was not until / tried DR..
Williams Pink Pills that found cure.
Within three weeks decided improve.
ment was noticeable. The belching
spells were less frequent, the pains
through my body were not so intense,
my food was retained and after taking
the pills for few weeks longer found
that, I was altogether free from the
misaies I had so long suffered"

to Eat and How to Eat" Write the DR..
