THE STORY OF TEA.
How the Chinese Beverage, Called
Tcha, Has Become the worlds
Greatest Drink

The history of tea drinking is lost
in the ancient traditions of the Chi
nese Empire. 1t may be. now that
China has become a republic and is
friendly to America and Europe, that
our persevering historians will be able
to pick up the lost threads in ancient
Chinese library records and tell us
when the first tea leaves were picked
and brewed into the worlds most IA
nous beverage.
According to Celestial legends tea
was discovered by the great emperor
Chinnung, 2737 B. c., who stands
sponsor for everything new in the
vegetable line. This may or may not
be true, but certain 1t is that in the
sixth century tea was already well
known beverages in the land Of the

BUILDING FOOD.
To Bring the Babies Around.

When a little human machine Tor
large one) goes wrong, nothing is
so important as the selection OF food
to bring it around again.
MY little baby boy, fifteen months
old, had pneumonia, then came brain
fever and no sooner had he got over
these than he began to cut teeth
and, being so weak, he was frequent
" thrown into conyulsions" says a
Colorado mother.
~ decided change might help, so
took him to Kansas City for a visit.
When We got there he was so very
weak when he would cry he would
sink away and seemed like he would
die.
When reached my sisters home
she said Immediately that We must
feed him Grape-Nuts and. although |
had never used the food, We got some
and for few days just gave him the
Juice of Grape-Nuts and milk. He got
stronger so quickly we We're soon
feeding him the Grape-Nuts itself.
and in a wonderfully short time he
fattened right up and became strong
and well
That showed me something worth
knowing and, when later on my little
girl came, | raised her on Grape-Nuts
and she is strong, healthy baby and
has been. You will see from the little
photograph send you what a strong,
chubby youngster the boy is now, but
he didn't look anything like that be-
fore We found this nOurishing food.
Grape-Nuts nourished him back to
strength when he was so weak ne

Public Welfare Contest

These are times in which party
lines are being largely eliminated in
that different schools of thought are
being created with the two great
political parties, leaders are being ar
rayed against leaders and interne-
cine strife and contention prevail. 1t is
an alignment in which predatory priv
ilege is warning with the interests of
the people. Decisions Of courts, OF
quasi-iudicial tribunals. rulings of
commissions, acts of congress and
the various state legislatures are
having an anomalous result. The
people are Disseminated, business is
stagnant, results are In doubt, peo-
pie are dubious. There are constant
iy arising new conditions, and rem
edies must be created to meet these
changing conditions.
In order to see just what the peo-
pie should do for their own good

contest:

fifty dollars in gold, or a diamond

covered long stretches Of the prim-
eval wastes of Alaska to deliver
mail to the pioneers seeking the gold

Mr.. Smiths home is at Nome,

and while spending a few days in
Washington resting Mr.. Smith was
the special guest of the French am
bassador at a dinner. Leaving Wash
ington Mr.. Smith visited Mayor Nc
Clellan of New York, and then start
ed on a tour of the states, driving
nine dogs. During the five years he
has been on this trip he has not
been sick and has not met with
single accident of a serious nature.
Incidental to his trip over the
country for the purpose of visiting
the state capitals Mr.. Smith Is play
ing the vaudeville theatres en- route.
Hsi entertainment consists OF q lee
ture on Alaska in which a number
of slides are exhibited showing
some of the wonderful scenes of that
far away possession Of Uncle Sam
He has his dogs and sled on the
stage, and shows how the snow
shoes are utilized In negotiating the
great wastes of snow in that coun-
try. All these things may be seen at
the Majestic theatre tonight. Mr..
Smith arrived in the city this
morning with his dog team, coming
from Dallas, and after filling an en-
gagement here he will continue on
his journey to Austin to call upon
Governor Colquitt. He will then
proceed to New Mexico, Arizona and
California, after which he will start
on the homeward trip to Nome,
hoping to arrive there by next No
