the water from the river during such

the excessive expense Of treating such

THINK HARD 1t Pays to Think About Food

The minimizing life some people lead often causes trouble and sick ness, illustrated in the experience of this lady.
 . About four years ago I suffered dreadfully from indigestion, always having eaten whatever I liked, not thinking of the digestible qualities This indigestion caused palpitation of the heart so badly I could scarcely walk up a flight of stairs without stopping to regain breath and strength.
 T became alarmed and tried diet ing, wore my clothes very loose, and used other remedies, but found no relief.
 Hearing of the virtues of Grape Nuts and Postum, I commenced us : ing them in place of my usual breakfast of coffee, cakes or hot bis cult. and in one weeks time 1 was relieved of sour stomach and other ills attending indigestion. In a months time my heart was perform ing it's functions naturally and l could climb stairs and hills and walk long distances.
 T gained ten pounds in this short time. and my skin became clear and I completely regained my health and strength. I continue to use Grape Nuts and Postum for I feel that I owe my good health entirely to their use.
 T like the delicious favour Of  Grape Nuts and by making Postum according to directions, it tastes sim liar to mild high grade coffee" Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek. Mich.

TRADE BOARD
 MINE DISPLAY
Statewide Exhibit Will Be Gathered for Mine Con gress and Maintained Thereafter as Permanent Feature

AS a basis for a permanent state wide mining products display the board of trade of Phoenix will install within few weeks one of the finest collections of minerals ever assembled in the southwest. By the time the Mine Congress assemblies here the first week in December, ores from all over the state will have been brought together for exhibition at the board of trade And, after the pur- poses of the congress have been serv- ed, the collection will probably be maintained as one of the big features of the boards exhibit-room
 decision in this matter was reached yesterday when the directors instructed E. A. Marshall, chairman of the house committee, to begin cor responding with mine companies rela- tive to prepaid donations. No par cells without prepaid express charges will be accepted.
 MT. Marshall believes that the mine exhibit will be one of the best the board of trade has, and he will bend every effodrt to make it comprehen- sive.
 Plans for the entertainment of the guests at the congress were discussed, with the result that shortly new an nouncements may be expected.
 Assistant Secretary E. l.. Walcott of the Mine Congress. who has estab- lished permanent quarters here until the session is past, has left Los An geles for San Francisco, on a big cir cular trip, boosting for Phoenix.

NEWS COMMANDMENTS
 P0WERLEsS 10 SAVE
Only in Obedience to the Law of God
 IS There Salvation

Following human tradition no mat ter how well established it is. nor how popular. will never save men. declared Elder C. D. Williams. in a sermon at the Seventh Day Adven- list camp-ground, North Tenth and Pierce streets, last night His text was Mark 7:7: Tn vain do they wor- ship me, teaching for doctrines and commandments of men" He said the Pharisees who placed tradition in the place of the commandment enjoining obedience to parents, were no worse than modern followers of 'cunningly devised fables" He de- cried the popular tendency to make light of the Bible, or reject it alto- gether. His subject was, The Law of God" He said, in part:
 Infinite wisdom is able to balance the myriad starry worlds in space. Definite, specific laws. govern the movements of these millions of in- habited worlds. Jehovah is also able to make law so just and perfect as to govern human beings, and not need
 
 day today and forever His law is declared in the Scripture to be holy and just and good. The popular idea that it existed in one form for several thousand years, and was then chang ed to meet changed conditions of hu- manity is incorrect, for had it been possible for God to change his law he would never have been compelled to send Jesus Christ into the world to hang upon the cross, and thus pay the penalty for mans transgres- sion"
 More than $100 was raised by the Adventists yesterday in the Harvest Ingathering campaign to help their missionary work in foreign fields, the war in Europe having cut off support from some of the fields, including those in Africa. The total thus far
