bus theaters. He now is engaged IN
the advertising business. He was
born in Ipswich. England, In 1854. He
worked his way upward in the the
atrical business and became advance
agent for the Sawtelle Dramatic Com.
pany. Of which Miss Melissa Bresiau
was the star. The advance agent and
the star became close friends. and In
1872 they we're married. Mr.. Fair be-
ing IS years old and his bride one
year younger.
Ethel, the youngest OF their foul
children. was married when she was
is years old, her husband being Harry
Nelson, who lost his life in 1898 In
the Sweet. Wallach fire, in which Il
Iother persons were killed. The elder
daughter of the Nelson's. Miss Melissa
named after her grandmother. was
married in 1908 to j. H. Miers.

ORIGIN
OF a Famous Human Food.

The story OF the great discoveries
or inventions is always Of interest.
An active brain worker who found
himself hampered by lack OF bodily
strength and yigor and could not carry
out the plans and enterprises he knew
how to conduct, was led to study va
rlous foods and their effects upon the
human system. In other words, be-
fore he could carry out his plans he
had to ind food that would carry
him along and renew his physical and
mental strength.
He knew that food which was a
brain and nerve builder (rather than
mere tat maker) was universally
needed He knew that meat with the
average man does not accomplish the
desired results. He knew that the
soft gray substance In brain and
nerve centers is made from Albumen
aud Phosphate of Potash obtained
from food. Then he started to solve
the problem.

food. II contains the brain and nerve
