No matter how much rood you eat
unless It Is digested it adds to the bur

nerves and brain. -'
"I tried one kind of medicine after
another, but nothing seemed to help me.
As last resort I tried different foods
but thef all failed me.
'Finally a friend recommended
Orane-N'u'ts, and with little or no faith

lo the oil mohoply that no market
could be secured for their product, and
then alluding to the four or five mil
lion capable American working men
entirely out of employment for the last
yesr, as illustrations of the wasted re
sources, both in materials and in means
of converting these materials into arti
cles available for the human race.
"They tell us," he said, "that the coal
supply, at the current rate, will be .ex
hausted in 86 years that we are de
stroving our timber three times as fast
as It Is growing In. the forests, and at
the present rate, in 80 years America
will be entirely without a supply.
"Another great process of destruction
is the wasteful methods of agricultural
enterprise by which the fertility of the
soil, upon which the race depends for its
sustenance is being so rapidly exhaust
ed. If we wish to know the future o
America if this process Is to continue
we can rend that future in advance
by glanctng at the fields of ancient
Kgvpt, the source of the wheat supply
of "the ancient world, now barren and
fruitless and deserted.
"America is moving In the same di
rection with her virgin forests, her
o;en prairies. What seem to be ex
haustlcss supplies of minerals, of coal
and oil. each generation so far has
used them as if that generation was
the last and having provided for Itself,
there could be no further responsibility'-
. . '
"But Kthls is not all. Land and its
resources are only a .part of the con-
life. All wealth Is the Joint product of
land and labor. lr, in America, we
compare the death rate of the country
districts with the death rate of the
crowded centers of population, and as
sume that the sanitary conditions of
the country could be extended to and
made effective In the crowded cities,
then we should Immediately save 648
lives every 24 hodrs, and would imme
diately take from the sick list each day
16.344 people.
"It baffles the human mind to under
take to estimate "how great the waste
which permits the. multitudes of work
ers to -come i stumbling on, without
t.alnlnr and Without tools.
"The contemplation of all this waste
would not le so orrensive ii we were
able to persuade ourselves that it Is
in any way necessary. Jit the most
pathetic thing about it all is. that it
Is absolutely inexcusably needless.
"Wasteful as have been the processes
by which we have used the earth, no
man on earth tonight Is hungry, or
cold, or shelterless-, oecause me rann
Is so small, or her resources so. limited
or so exhausted by the wastefulness
of man,
"All that IS necessary is to strengthen
the things that remain that are ready
to perish, and the earth will be able
to care for its children for' all the
countless centuries that are to follow.
No man Is hungry, or ragged, or shel
terless beos'uae the tools! are Inefficient
Their productivity Is beyond wp power
to measure. The earth Is large enough.
The tools ars rtrodurtive enough.
"Moreover, there ' Is labor enough,'
numerous enough, strong enough, skill
ful enough, to use enough of the earth's
resources to provide enough for all and
to spare.
"It is said the corruption of modern
life makes the organization of the
earth's -industries, tier workshops, her
markets, and the public possession and
direction of her natural resources for
man's highest uses impossible. I shall
show you tomorrow night that the very
corruption of the city calls aloud, that
what has been the scene of man's de
generacy shall be made the instrument
of his deliverance.
"It has been said that the vices of
society are more wasteful than are
the wasteful methods of industry or
the curse of idleness, or the lack of
equipment, or the absence of oreaniza
tion. I shall show you later that the
very vices of society are born out
of this lack of organization, this heed
less wastefulness of man's opportuni
ties, this social refusal to meet social
responsibilities and to undertake v.tn-e
tasks necessary that we may provide
lor tne common lite or ail.
"It Is said that these proposals In
volve problems of Organization and
eauiDment beyond the genius of man
to undertake. I shall show you that
no new problems are Involved, no new
dlfticultles are proposed. Society has
already solved the last problem, tha
airiicuity is noi tnai we oo not Know
how to do. It is, that under the mas-
private advantages for the few, to the
lasting injury or me many, society nas
so far been unable to do as well as
it already knows how."
The topic for tonight Is "The City

ACH BITTERLY .
ATTACKS HEHEY
Defense of Kuef Is Having
at Prosecutors Turns
on the Tears, Also.
(United Press Leased Wire. I
San Francisco, Dec. 8. A bitter and
vindictive attack on Francis J. Heney,
the leader of the "graft" prosecution,
together with excoriation of the Schmitz
board of boodllng supervisors, were the
features of the closing argument of At
torney Henry Ach on behalf of Abe
Rue at today's session of the trial of
the former boss.
Ach began , with a resume of tbe
prosecution's evidence. He then took
up a discussion of the methods of the
prosecution with rising anger and fin
ally entered upon a aarcastio attack on
Heney during which at times he spoke
In his loudest tones.
"My client Is being sacrificed to the
political desires and aspirations of court
officera Like Julius Caesar, he was
killed politically to satisfy the ambitions
of others." cried Ach.
"You know that Rudolph Spreckels
guaranteed a tuna to uie district attor
ney with the injunction, to 'go at Kuef,' '
he roared angrily.
You know, he continued, "that a
prosecutor of national reputation who
has some feeling aaainat Ruef. was nut
forward by the money of others to de
stroy the existing state or tilings.
"The result was that a stranger to
our land, with no ties here, was import
ed, with his methods, to become the Hy
ing spirit, heart and brain of a prosecu
tion which has resulted in so much
misery and so much dire distress In the
hearts of men and women; so much dis
grace to little children that would to
Qod I had never seen such things.
"Way down In the heart of Frank
Heney there perhaps exists soma feeling
of human kindness perhaps!
"What was It that caused th great
fortune to crawl forth from the iron
vaults of Rudolph SDreekela to nnu
such misery as this? --
"How Was It that Rudolph Snreckela
through Heney and District Attorney
Lanedon. declared to the world- 'i an.
omnipotent; come to me for Immunity'
Who made Rudolph Spreckels, the 'God
Almighty' of Ban Francisco? Rudolph
Spreckels himself." - ., .
The character of "Big Jim" Gallagher,

Gallaghfer's testimony, however was
carefully gone over In an attempt by
Ach to pull it to .shreds, ; ; ; :
The boodlinx board, referred to bv
Ach as "the worst band of conspirators
known, with' Gallagher as the master
mind," was attacked In sarcasm and
Invective. ...-
During tha morning session scores of
women were In the courtroom, while the
police precautions ' against disorders
were constantly apparent.
The case reached the argument stag
yesterday- at a bound, since the defense
elected to call no witnesses. Couneul

entire session today Is being occupied
by the defense In argument. .-i.
