A Cofttee Fact!! Many Highly Organized The Bearch tru for and only safe plan is to the cause and destroy It, | then nature itself endeavors to set cu- rative forces at work, and if the dis- ease has not gone too lonr, one may expect a return of health. I the reader has any sort of physical ailment and | has been a user of coffee, let him ex~ | periment on himself by leaving off the coffee for a period, say of two weeks or a month, and at the same time shift over to the use of Postum Cereal Fooa Coffee, and take careful notice of the result. Leaving off the coffee takes away the cause of disease that is establisned through the nervous system (when such disease has been caused by the use of coffee); the food elements con- tained in Postum Food Coffee go in. stantly to work to replenish and re. build the delicate gray substance found in ihe nerve centers throughout the | body. It is well to remember that perfect health cannot be maintained when even a slight portion of this delicate substance Is destroyed or lacking in the body. There is a true and scientific reason for this statement which can be easily proven by personal test. Many | people have been convinced of the fact that coffee is a poison to them, but have been unable to leave it off. Such persons will find that they can make Are definitely and distinctively .

One thing must be carefully looked after, and that is to have the Postum Food Coffee boiled long enough to bring out the flavor and food elements. ‘When prepared like ordinary coffee— that is, by bolling a few moments or no boiling at all, it will not furnish the palatable beverage that it does when about four heaping teaspoons to the pint of water are used, and after being on the stove long enough to come up to a boiling bubble, it be allowed to re- main boiling, slowly but steadily, full fifteen minutes after the first bubbling is noticed. In no other way can good Postum Coffee be made, and it may be depended upon when made in this man- ner. Many use a high pot to prevent its boiling over and stir it down from time to time, in order to get the good from all the material. If the reader can use health as a means for gaining wealth or fame and for bringing about the state of physical and mental peace and happiness that comes from a perfectl poised condi- tion of health, he can well afford to make this test and make it at once. Postum is sold by all first-class grocers everywhere.

Oakland Qffice San Francisco Call, *980 Broadway, Jan. 19. The Wemen's Alliance of the Unitarian church is arranging for a most elaborate series of tableaus, which will be given at the Macdonough Theater some time dur- ing the latier part of April. They will be participated in by over 50 prominent so- ciety people of Oakland. The carnival will take the form of a ‘‘procession of centu- ries,” and the leading historical events of Christian era will be portrayed. § The costumes and scenic surroundings will all be historically correct, and for th reason the ladies expect the affair to have a great educational value. It will take two nights to present the tableaus com- pletely, and the affair will be the most leasing event of its kind since the famous ickens and Shakespeare carnivals of years ago. Several of the professors of the histori- cal department of the State University have agreed to assist in arranging the scenes so as to have them conform with the times which they will represent. In addition to the tableaus there will prob- ably be a number of dances typical of the terpsichorean customs of different periods of anclent times. *“The affair will be unique and instruc- tive,” said Mrs. G. W. Bunnell, president of the Women's Alliance and. also of the Oakland Club, “and we all feel confident way. There will be fully 500 people tak- ing part, and the entertainment will be a most pleasing one. While the alliance has charge of the affair it will be isted by a great many other prominent ladies, and the participants will come generally from the members of Oakland society. Among the ladies belonging to the com- mittee of the alllance in charge of the reliminary arrangements are Mrs. G. W. Bunnell, Mrs. J. R. Farrell, Mrs. A. B. Nye, Mrs. E. A. Kluegel, Mrs. A. Harr! son, Mrs. George Rodol Mrs. Charl D. Olney, Mrs. H. E. Wise and Mrs. E. B.

Van Ness ave~ nue and crossings are bituminized and some eclegant new houses have been go- | ing up in that choice neighborhood of late. That avenue is part of the city’'s new boulevard system, and there Is no doubt that intending buyers, speculators as well as bullders of homes, will avail them- selyes of this opi ortunity, and all the lots to be offered will find purchasers. It is a fact that very seldom such desirable lots seek the auction room. Terms are easy and interest on deferred payments is only 6 per cent.
