Found on
 The Skin Phosphate
 Direct from the
 Brain

We know that active brain work throws out the phosphate of potash. for this product is found on the skin after excessive brain work
 Brain workers. in order to keep well. must have proper food cor<aining phosphate of potash to quickly and surely rebuild the used-up tissue.
 That one can obtain such food has been proven in thousands of cases among users of Postum Food Coffee and Grape-NutS.
 Both contain phosphate of potash in minute particles. just as it is furnished by nature in the grains.
 This product blends with aIbumen and makes the gray matter that builds the brain and fills the nerve centres
 In no way can this gray matter be made except by the action of phosphate of potash upon albumen. and this min eral should be introduced to the body just as it comes from natures labora- tory, and not from the drug store. The human system is more or less fastidious about taking up the needed elements, and, as might be suspected, it win fla vor the products of Mother Nature rather than the products of the drug shop However valuable they may be for certain uses
 Athletes, lawyers, Journalists, doc tors. ministers. business men and oth- CTS, who earn their living by the use of the brain. are using both Postum Food Coffee and Grape-Nuts Food. Both products are manufactured for a req son. They were originated by an ex- pert. and the regenerative value of both the Postum Coffee and the Food has been demonstrated beyond question Made in the purefood factories of the Postum Co. at Battle Creek.

ORDER OF EVENTS.

B!sbee. Ariz.. Sept. 6.-The delegates to the democratic territorial conven- tion who arrived in Bisbee in the past few days, met at the Copper Queen hotel yesterday afternoon at 1880 and preceded by the Bisbee band marched to the opera house At 1853. Chair man E. E. Elsipwood of the democratic territorial committee mounted tn" platform and called the convention to order. Joseph P. Dillon, secretary of the democratic comf ,it,ee then read the call which was issued by tho com mittee for the convention. It was an- nounced that Apache county was Lot represented in the convention. MT. Ellinwood then announced that the first business of the convention was the appointment of a chairman.
 N. E. Bailey of the Cochise delegd- tion placed the name of Col. J. F. Wilson before the convention after referring to his record in congress and especially to his fight against the joint statehood measure. Sam Webb of the Maricopa delegation seconded the nomination of Mir Wilson on be- half of the Maricopa county delega tion, and assured the members of the convention that one time Maricopa county was the battle-ground for the dissenting factions of the party but at the present time, the breach is healed and every democrat is for the party as a whole. The nominations were closed and when the motion was put to the convention it was carried unan- imously.

Bisbee, Ariz., Sept 6.-(SpeciaD- With tears in his eyes and husky voice and the necessary faltering step to make the play effective, Mark Smith hG another one or the greatest mo- ments of his life today when he took the platform before the territorial democratic convention after having been nominated as his party's choice for delegate to congress.
 When the roll call came for nomina- tiOnS everybody passed down to Yav- apai county when Reese Ling took the floor and made the speech of nonina- ton. The two oratorical features of the day followed Nh. Ling, when for Maricopa county, George Purdy Bull lard and for Coconino county, Henry F. Ashhurst seconded the nomination. The platform which had been pre- viously read by pr. H. A. Hughes of Phoenix and adopted, declares against jointure, and refers to taxation of mines in the following language: we declare for an honest and equal tax at:on of all property, justly subject to the same. including mines and corpor- ations without discrimination in favor of anyone whomsoever, so that the wealth of the country may bear it's full portion of the burden of govern ment.'.
 The platform fails to find anything in Roosevelt or Governor Kibbey to commend. In his speech accepting the nomination. MT. Smith praised Fora lzer and other republican senators for their efforts in behalf of Arizona dur ing the recent statehood campaign in congress. MT. Smith will remain in Bisbee for several days.

WILL BRING HOME
 ALL 6ATILEShIPS ;
Those at Foreign Stations Go be
 Replaced by Cruisers.

Washington, Sept. 6.-The navy de- partment has decided to concentrate all the battleships of the navy on the home stations and to replace those at Asiatic stations with armored crusers- The battleships Ohio and Wisconsin, which have been in Chinese waters for several months past, have started back to the United States. The Ohio sailed from Chefoo yesterday for Hampton Roads. She will stop at Cavite, and then cross the Indian ocean and pro- ceed through the SueZ canal and the Mediterranean. Her place as flagship has been taken by the Rainbow. When the Ohio has been overhauled she will be added to the battleship division of the Atlantic fleet. The Wisconsin is returning by the Pacific route and will be added to the fleet. She arrived at Kobe, Japan, yesterday, and will sail for Honolulu. She is bound for the naval station in Puget sound.
