All People Not Alike.

letter carrier said his wife liked coffee
SO well and seemed TO really need it at
breakfast, it was too bad for the doctor to
order her to discontinue it. He told her
that her bad complexion, dyspepsia, ner-
vousness and occasional palpitation OF the
heart all came from one cause and that
was coffee drinking. The good man went
on further to say: my child, IL you
were as strong as your husband and had
the miles of outdoor walking to do that
lie has daily you could drink one cup OF
coffee, or perhaps two, at breakfast and
dinner without any very bad effects, but
the same poisonous alkaloids exist In
coffee as are found in tobacco, whisky,
strychnine and morphine. There is not
So great a proportion of them in coffee as
In The other drugs, but sufficient amount
exists to seriously injure any one whose
constitution Is a little below par All of
these drugs can be used for q time by
perfectly healthy people, but II their use
is persisted in long enough, the human body
finally gives evidence of the effect of the
steady poison, and many people who do not
know this fact die because of their un-
natural habits. If you could use a hot
drinkin the morning made from the nourish-
ing grains that nature has provided for
the use of man, 1t would satisfy your appe-
lite and fatten your body"
wholesome, delicious hot drink of the
kind that old doctor referred to Is found
In Postum Coffee, made from grains BY
the Postum Cereal Co. Linn. OF Battle
Greek, Mich; it brews the rich color of
Java or Mocha, has a grand fragrance
and the pungent taste demanded by all
Fcoffee drinkers. No poisonous alkaloids
are found here and man is only safe when
he sticks to natures food, furnished by
the Creator, prepared in number of
different ways to be sure. Ruddy health
and red blood will follow the discontinuance
of unnatural drinks and the substitution
therefor of the Cereal food drink. It's
use will tell the facts more plainly in the
body than words can be made to express
Grocers furnish it and experience teaches
that IL goes about three times as far as
coffee.

SUNDAY SCHOOL METHODS
Baptists Discuss THIS Branch
at Length.
NEED OF AN IMPROVEMENT
Hearty Cooperation of Teacher
and Pupil, Church and School Is
Needed ed-Teachers' Meetings and
Their Memorial Serv-
ice to the Late DIR. Sampson.

There was large attendance at the
evening session OF the Columbia Associa-
ton OF Baptist Churches last night, prob
ably the largest since the convention COLI
vened.
The subject for special consideration was
the report of the committee on Sunday
schools submitted to the chairman, Mr.. c.
W. Needham OF the First naptisL Church.
The report was an exhaustive review OF
the status OF the Sunday schools within
The Jurisdiction OF the association, and
showed that during the last year there was
an increased interest In this very important
department OF religious work.
Mr.. Needham laid great stress on the
Importance of teachers meetings. These
gatherings, he said, should not be taken
III The light OF social sessions or occasions
for lecturing, but opportunities for earnest
work of preparation for the duties under.
taken.
CAUSED A DISCUSSION.
Before the adoption OF the report 1t was
discussed by several of the most prominent
Sunday school workers in the association.
The first to speak on the subject was
Mr. p. II. Bristow, superintendent Of
Calvary Bapust sunuaA :>,oCi.
Mr.. Bristow said it was most important
that all Sunday school woiA snould be
systematized, and that this might be ac-
tolhphsucu Wdb HtCtssdIS thdt oHI su
perintcndents and teachers should be thor
oughly educated for their work.
DIR. l.. d. Lodge OF the Columbian Uni
versity also spoke very interestingly of
the subject of Sunday school work.
Rev. DIR. ]. M. Frost. secretary of the
Sunday school board of the Southern
Bapust Association, spoke at length on
the subject.
NEED OF COOPERATION.
In the South, he said, there was great
lack Of teachers. The greatest trouble
they had to contend against, however.
was the running away OF the Sunday schools
from the churches and also of the churches
from the Sunday schools. This, he said,
was a great drawback to the progress
OF both, and until they could be made
inseparable there could not be complete
success.
At the conclusi on OF DR.. Foot's re-
marks tile report of the committee was
adopted.
A special memorial service in memory
OF the Rev j. w. Sampson, the first pas
tor of the + Street Church, was made the
order for 3 O'Clock.
SAMPSON MEMORIAL SERVICE.
Among those who paid tribute to the Rev.
DR.. Sampson were Rev. DR.. A. J. Hunting
ton, who spoke OF him as an educator, DIR.
Robert W. Fenwick, who spoke OF him as a
pastor; Rev. DIR. Z. c. Meador, who spoke
Of him as denominatonal worker, End
Prof. Otis T. Mason, who spoke OF him as a
man.
Rev. DR.. Byron Sunderland. pastor Of the
First Presbyterian Church, who was for
many years warm personal friend Of DR..
Sampson, also paid glowing tribute to
the great Christian character Of the de-
ceased.

TRIAL OF HAT TRIMMINGS CASES.
Judge Dallas Refuses to FIX q Time
for the Same,

Philadelphia, Nov. 1S.-An application
was made before Judge Dallas in the
United States circuit court today to have
fixed time for the trial Of the hat
trimmings cases now pending. The United
States Attorney General has appointed ex-
District Attorney Ingham as special as
sistant for the government in the trial Of
the cases.
The court was asked to order a special
venire of jurors SO that the Meyer and
Dickinson suit, or others Of the suits, in
which 1t is sought to recover alleged eN-
cess of duties, can be tried at an early date.
The application was opposed by Frank p.

therefore, the cases will go over indef-
inttely.

Remarkable Endurance of Dogs Inn
prisOned by en- Indiana Cave-In.
From the Peru, Ind, Journal: A re-
markable story about two dogs that
were caught by a cave-in aud were
unable to escape until rescuers ar
rived, twelve days later, comes from
John r. Thorne, a farmer residing
two miles east of Santa Fe. One Of
the dogs belonged to him and the
other to neighbor. Both dogs were
good rabbit hunters and would hunt
from morning until night without even
stopping to eat. Two weeks ago yes
terday the two dogs suddenly disap-
peared. One, two, three days passed
and the dogs were still marked absent
Their excuse was wanted. The owners
suspected a certain man in Santa Fe
Of having killed the dogs and they
were quite angry about it. Last Sat
urday noon Mr.. Thorne heard a
scratching on door at his home. He
open 1t, and the two skinny dogs
dragged themselves into the house and
fell to the floor, not dead but very near
it. The sight OF the dogs was enough to
bring gladness and pity to the family.
The creatures were in such a deplorable
condition that il was thought that they
would die. But they have not, and they
are now getting fitted up for another
hunt
After dinner Saturday Mr.. Thorno
met Silas Hahn in Santa Fe
and the latter asked Thorne IL
his dog had returned home. He
said that early in the morning his
CHahn's) dog followed up a scent and
landed at the foot of hill where he
began digging in the side of it. Hahn
Joined in, and in short time a cave
in was struck, from out Of which
jumped the two dogs, They had start
ed in a hole after a rabbit, were caught
by the cavern and had remained there
with nothing to eat or drink for twelve
days. And still the dogs live on.

A QUEER PROPOSAL
n Came rsrdnv but was a Model In It.
Brevitv.


An aristocratic young lady of Magde-
burg, Germany, had spent some time at
the country seat Of her uncle and a
young cavalier from Berlin lad been
paying much attention to her. Every
body thought 1t would be a good match
for both and affairs went on swim
mingly until the day drew near when
the young lady was to return home
The nearer the day came the more dis
appointed were the young miss and her
mother at the failure of the young man
to ask the all-important question. Fin
ally they left their relatives house in
great dismay, and Just before leaving
the young lady remarked to her uncle
that 1t probably was as we'll for both,
as her mother had not much use fol-
such a chicken hearted son-in-law.'
They left on a train on the narrow,
gauge railway connecting the valley
with the nearest town. After they had
gone the young man questioned the
uncle why the young lady had gone
away so angry and had hardly noticed
him when bidding him good-by. The
uncle, blunt e1-soldier, repeated the
remark made by his niece when leaving
to the young man, who was touched to
the quick by the insinuation of coward
ice contained therein. He was very
much in love with the lady and had
abstained from hroaching the subject
on account Of his not considering 1t
proper to propose anywhere but at the
young lady's home, which he intended
visiting before long.
This remark, however, aroused his
sense of honor and without saying an
other word, he mounted his horse,
which happened to stand ready for an
outing, and galloped after the train,
which had left quarter OF an hour be-
fore. Owing to benign Providence and
the management Of this country rail-
road he caught the train before 1t had
reached the next station, Karow; he
spied the young lady at the window OF
first-class compartment and, riding
up to the train before It came TO full
stop, almost shouted breathlessly: my
dear Miss -, ask for your hand.
Yes or no?"
In the station Karow, Just as the train
arrived, "Yes" was joyfully given by
the young miss and tearfully approved
by her mamma

TWO ELEPHANTS FIGHT AT SEA,
without Amy Regard for Rules of the
Ring.

without Any Regard for Rules OF the
Ring.
Two elephants Of a consignment of
seven, which arrived here on the Ham
burg-American liner Persia, fought at
sea on the night of Nov. 21, and but for
their keepers might have killed each
other, says the New York Herald. The
elephants left Hamburg on Nov. Is, in
charge of William Newman, known
in the show business as Elephant
Bill" and another keeper.
Pilot, who has tusks, and Albert, who
has no tusks, were the only males of
the lot. They are nearly twelve years
old and about FIVE and a half feet high.
They were placed in opposite corners
Of box stall. On the fourth night,
during the rolling of the ship, Pilot
and Albert succeeded in breaking their
chains, and they went at each other
with such force that Newman thought
their skulls would surely be fractured.
The brutes attempted to rise on their
hind legs and paw each other. Then
they lashed each other ferociously with
their trunks. They would back off and
butt each other with such force that
the shock stunned them for a moment.
Pilot made several efforts to puncture
Albert with his tusks, but was not sue
cessful Meanwhile the other five ele-
plants were grunting and trumpeting,
so that the noise could be heard all
over the ship. Newman and his as
sistant belabored the brutes with clubs,
but the clubs didn't seem to have the
slightest effect on the craniums of the
elephants. Two pitehforks were pro-
cured. About half a dozen good digs"
with the forks took all the fight out
of the two animals and they allowed
themselves to be chained in their cor
ners again

Cnlornd SNOW and Hal.

Storms in which red, yellow and
orange colored SHOWS fell were record
ed as long ago as the sixth century.
Humboldt mentions a hailstorm which
once occurred in Palermo, in whioh
every hailstone was as red as q giobule
of frozen blood. On March IA, 1913,
there was a hailstorm in Tuscany In
which the individual stones were each
of a bright yellow color. In 1908 at
Carniola, Germany, they had a fall Of
crimson snow which was nearly ffve
feet in depth Snow OF brick-red hue
fell in Italy in 1916, and in the Tyrol
in 1847. In some sections of Iceland
snow seldoms falls to any considerable
depth without being composed Of al
ternate layers of frozen crystals OF diff
ferent colors. Sir John Ross mentions
Arctic banks OF red snow which are so
we'll known to explorers that they are
called the crimson cliffs"
