What Food

Every mother must sooner or later ask
herself this question, and it is one which
consideration. 1t may be that on the
advice OF friends various foods are. tried
to see if baby takes kindly to them
Now, is it not reasonable to assume that
an infants food that has been In general
use for upwards OF fifty years, and that
has been used. in preference to others, in
most of the Royal Nurseries OF Europe,
is likely to prove suitable diet for the
average infant =? Such food is Savory
& Moore's, and all mothers who decide in
its favour may be congratulated on the
wisdom of their choice.
Infants reared on Savory & Moore's
Food are characterised by strong, sturdy

\. c. APWELL. IS
HOME FROM TOUR
Oakland Merchant Says Eu-
rope Proved Economic
Value of Good Roads
Hawaii and the Philippines
Should Be Fully Devel-
oped, He Declares

OAKLAND. July 2S.--H. C. Capwell,
president of the Oakland mercantile
establishment which bears his name
and one of the most prominent and
successful merchants in the bay region,
returned to his home Yesterday after
q trip around the world which began
February &c
Mr.. Capwell was welcomed home by
his friends and business associates. the
employees of his large store filing his
office with masses of flowers in token
OF high personal regard
In discussing his trip, which includ-
ed stops in the chief cities of the
world Mr.. Capwell said
4 found business abroad somewhat
bad in many parts of Europe, all
though many OF the big plants are still
operating while others are closed down.
III Italy 3 per cent Of the field laborers
were women The men are mostly in.
America earning money, while the
women. as a consequence, are doing
the work at home"
EUROPEAN GOOD ROADS
Capwen said that Europe taught
Americans a splendid lesson in regard
to the building and maintaining Of
good roads. and that the good roads
systems abroad were a great saving on
the time, stock and vehicle of the
traveller.
''Of course. we are not expected to
advance as rapidly in some things as
Europe has done with centuries of de-
velopmeht behind her. he said, but
l believe that the automobile in Amer
lea and especially in California, is GO
ing to bring about. an interlacing Of
good roads systems inside of 20 years.
Good roads pay and sooner or later the
majority of us must fnd this out
california easily leads America in
climate and even Europe in most
places but our climate here is equaled
by that of the south of Italy and
France, where I found delightful spots.
There is no better investment for a
community than good roads.
HAWAII LIKE GIBRALTAR
Another thing which impressed me
during my trip was the fact that in
Hawaii we have delightful and
charming possession. which we should
make another Gibraltar. The people
of this country should be behind any
movement that would stand for the
development and Improvement of this
garden spot of the world. In China /
found the British and the Germans
had improved their possessions greatly
and so when our party came to the
Philippines we were naturally inter-
ested and alert to see what had been
done. / believe Uncle Sam should keep
the Philippines. although the country is
not a white mans country and the
work there along development lines
must of necessity be an uphill climb"
BUSINESS MEN CALL
During the greater part of the day
Capwell was busy receiving callers
among the business men ~on both sides
of the bay with A. S. Lavenson, vice
president of the Capwen company, at
his office. Lavenson has been at the
helm of the big concern during Cap
wells absence.
