GRAPE-NUTS. AR et bl LB COLONY LIFE. Effect of Climate Overcome by Proper Food. The necessity of pleasant, nutritive and proper food is highly appreciated in the Philippines, particularly by Americans unused to climate and native custom in cooking. One of our soldier boys writes: “In this land of bad food and disordered stomachs, a nearly fatal attack of ma- laria left my digestion for many months in such a state that food of any kind dis- tressed me terribly. 1 suffered from the effect of drugs, but dared not eat. It was simply misery to live. The so-called rem- | edies only seemed to aggravate my suffer- irgs. “Some friend suggested Grape-Nuts Food, and I gave it a trial. To my sur- prise and pleasure, it did all and more than was claimed for it. I am now, after using the food for eighteen months, in gceod health; my digestive apparatus in perfect order, and I have long lost all feeling of pain or discomfort after eating. In fact, I live again. I would not be without Grape-Nvts for the world. It is not only the excellent effect of your food that renders it valuable, it is also deli- cious to the taste, possessing flavor of its own, and can be prepared in many ways to suit many palates.” Name given by Postum: Co,, Battle Creek, Mich, story that he | dlen from the armory, of whiclr | from the Marine Corps recruiting | chell and the officers of the Colo- | and conducted by Chairman | in accordance with the by-laws | e manner in which stockholders’ meet- | The | THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 2, OPENS THE CONFERENCE WITH A HAPPY ADDRESS Bishop W.

Bork, the station agent at Keswick, had a thrilling and almost fatal experience with a wild- cat yesterday morning. Bork, while hunt- ing in the woods, sagv the wildcat, which ran from him. Bork gave chase and final- ly got in a shot that wounded the cat, and it fell into an abandoned mine shaft. Bork descended to get his game and when he reached the bottom found the cat allve. The wounded animal sprang at the hunter and a lively fight took place at the bottom of the shaft. First the cat was on top, then Bork, and for a few seconds the hunter thought his time had come. The cat tore his face and body badly. Bork finally succeeded in getting hold of one of its hind legs and beating out its brains against the rocky wall of the shaft. Stage Upsets on a Grade.

PHOENIX, Ariz., Oct. L—C. H. Kroener arrived here a few days ago in company with a man named Wolf, claiming to be employed as a jockey for W. C. Whitney. Kroener obtained the indorsement of J. C. Adams, proprietor of .a hotel, to a check on the bank ‘of New Rochelle, N. Y., for $200, deposited it with a local bank and drew some of the money. The bank telegraphed the New Rochelle concern and received a reply that Kroener was unknown there. Kroener said there must be some mistake; that he was well known, had money ot his own invested there and that his father was wealthy. He made no attempt to leave, but telegrams sent to- day remained unanswered and to-night he was placed in jail. He claims he is a vic- tim of a misunderstanding. Physician Denies the Charges.

SOLEMN SERVICE FOR NEW YERR . Fine Music and Eloquent Sermons Heard in the Temples. it i Celebration of Jewish Festival Will Continue To-Day in Synagogues. Services were held in all the syna- gogues last night in celebration of the Jewish New Year. ‘Rosh Hashanah” Was ushered in with stately and yet joy- ous music, devout prayer and eloquent addresses. The New Year services will continue this morning, beginning at 8 o’clock., An elaborate programme of music was rendered last night at Temple Emanu-El by an augmented choir of twenty voices, with accompaniments by an orchestra of twelve pieces. Cantor Stark and W. A. Sabin had charge of the music. Rabbl Jacob Voorsanger delivered the sermon. He said in part: Just a word to-night to emphasize the pre- dominant thought of the season. Time is the greatest miracle of the ages, says Thomas Carlyle. Everything is accomplished in time. What 15 a year compared to time, and time as compared to eternity? God's purposes are ac- The years pass one after another, and if a thinking man will only consider the miracles of the awful operations of the cycles of time he will realize that God is eternal. 1 would remind you that there is not a bit of fatalism in this attitude. When we turn from the world's cares at this season, to contemplate the deeds of the year and our hopes for the year to come we are inclined to be a bit fatal- istic. Fatalism teaches the predetermination of all men. It runs slong parallel lines with the doctrine of evolution, We and our children and our children’s children will be just as de- termined by the predetermined operation of Ged's laws. But I would also remind you that theological doctrine has made an absurdity of this by applying it to the individual. Man takes his own part In the affairs of life, and within his own sphere is self-determined.” Man is imbued with a will and gonsciousness to make or mar his own life: Fatalism must turn to a note of cheerfulness and helpfulness. Man has the power to exer- cise the moral faculty to make himself better and greater. It is the very drifting that men do that causes them to be wrecked upon bar- ren and inhospitable shores. Within the limits assigned to us we may be masters if we will. Is Israel to-day a wreck that has no hope of the tuture? Millions of our own people are holding to the old fatalistic teaching that un- happiness and suffering is the ot of our people and God wills it. This belief must disappear before the greater happiness and opportunity that we now enjoy. It is not the doctrine of The predominating note to-day is one of hope, one of trust, one of certainty that the power of hand and mind will achieve great good for Israel. So shall the soul of Israel yet achieve great victorles over the wrongs of ! the past, the unkindness and antagonisms of the present, the pitfalls of the future. May it come to you in peace, and to our brethren who are still oppressed may it bring release from oppression. At the Bush-street synagogue Rabbt Myers delivered a New Year’'s greeting. Cantor Salomon had charge of the elab- orate musical programme. F. Dellapiane was organist. The services at the Taylor-street syna- gogue were held early In the evening. In acdition to the music there was an ad- dress by Rabbi Nieto. L e e e o ) FUNERAL MAY USE A RIOT Danger of Disturbance ‘When Emile Zola Is Buried.

The council also decided that Senator Chaumie, Minister of Public Instruction, shall represent the Govern- ment at the funeral of Emile Zola and deliver an oration. The Matin confirms the report that Dreyfus, with his brother, Matthieu, will attend the funeral and adds that the entire Hadamard family will also be present. Dreyfus revisited the Zola residence this morning and remained a few moments be- side the coffin, which is not yet closed. It lies surrounded by violets, Zola’s favor- ite flowers, in the study of the deceased, which has been converted into a mortu- ary chamber and is illuminated by tapers. Mme. Zola is still suffering from nervous vrostration and it is uncertain whether she will be able to attend the funeral. The funeral to-day was postponed until Sunday. There will be four orators, Sen- ator Chaumie, the president of the Soci- ety of Authors, the president of the So- clety of Dramatists and Anatole France of the French Academy. —_—— Marriage Licenses.

OAKLAND, Oct. 1.—Bernard Noy, aged 26 years, procured a license to-day to marry Freda Noy, 25. He was granted a divorce from her on March 6, last, but the pangs of separation were too hard to bear, and now the young couple have become reconciled. Friends and a year-old baby are said to have been instrumental in breaking down the barriers. ‘When young Noy, who is a son of W. H. Noy, the Alameda merchant-politician, applied for a divorce he charged that his wife habitually stayed out late at nights and neglected her household duties. Mrs. Noy's lawyer demurred on the ground that a woman had just as much right to stay out late as a man and Judge Hall sustained him, though declaring it to be a bad practice and oune that should not be encouraged. The young woman did not continue her defense, however, and her husband afterward succeeded in getting a éivorce through her default. ———— To Build Big Meat Plant. OAKLAND, Oct. 1.—J. H.

North Oakland Are Secured. Reconstruction of the Cali= fornia and Nevada to Begin at Once. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Oect. L The -Santa Fe rallroad system has finally secured property for its yards and terminus in the city of Oakland. Deeds to ten blocks of land in North Oakland, at the terminus of the little California and Nevada Railroad, were placed on record to-day, the transfer be- ing made from the Realty Syndicate to A. H. Payson, assistant to President Rip- ley of the Santa Fe system. The prop- erty transferred by the syndicate to Cap~ tain Payson runs from San Pablo avenue to Halleck street, which is practically the right of way of the Southern FPacifie Company, and was originally part of the old J. 8. Emery Tract. The price named i3 nominal, $1 a lot. This property gives the Santa Fe Rall- road ample yard and depot room in Oak- land, all of the land deeded being within the corporate limits of the city. It will glive the ratiroad a strip 400 feet deep, Tun. ning between San Pablo avenue and the bay shore, and fronting upon Yerba Buena avenue, down which the Califor- nia and Nevada Railroad runs. As this road has been absorbed by the Santa Fe system, with all of its rights of way and terminals, this transaction means that the Santa Fe system is ready to build its Oakland depot and yards. This is the last real estate transaction that is necessary, and within a very short time the work of building the Santa Fe into Oakland will begin. The necessary rights of way between the Senta Fe tracks at San . Pablo and the old California and Nevada right of way have been secured. All of the franchises through Berkeley, Emeryville and Oak- land have been secured, and nothing re- mains to be done but to build the road, which will only be the work of a few months. Thé whart at the foot of Yerba Buena avenue is already more than half com- pleted. The two ferry boats that have been ordered are nearly half done on the shores of the Oakland estuary. The Oakland Transit Company will run its tracks down Yerba Buena avenue from San Pablo avenue to the new wharf in order to get local passengers. Its franchises have already been secyred, and it has begun work upon its new gen- eral offices at the junction of San Pablo avenue and Adeline street. As this com- pany is working in harmony with the Santa Fe system, the development of that section of Oakland is certain. @ ittt i i e @ CANADIAN GABLE NEARS TERMINAL Steamer Colonia Will Reach Fanning on Sunday.
