CRISP FLAVOR.
Proper Way TO Prepare Food EAe-
ments.


If this should reach the eye Of a reader
who has been disappointed in the taste of
Postum Food Coffee IL Is respectfully urged
that a new trial be made with the know-
edge that the crisp, delicious favor can only
be obtained by allowing 1t TO continue boil
ing full fifteen minutes after boiling COM
mences; this does not mean fifteen min
utes after being placed on the stove, please
remember.
True there are many who mix One-half
coffee in their Postum and slch prepara-
ton will yield pleasant flavor after five
or ten minutes boiling and will have pro-
portion of food value. but the strong food
elements and choice flavor can only be OBJ
tanned from pure Postum by sufficient boil
ing.
There is no question among those who
have made the test, that when common
coffee and white bread are replaced with
Postum Food Coffee and entire wheat prep
aratfons. there is a steady growth towards
a vigorous, hearty physical and mental
health
Each one can improve the health of body
by the use of natural food and the dismissal
of unnatural food.
The delicious feeling of health we'll repays
the attention and the charming beverage.
Postum Is a comfort when properly made.

NEW FIELDS FOR WOMEN.
Specialists sin CHeDses Furnishing and
Supervision of Home Details.

The strongest argument that is used
against the Acknowledgement of woman and
her effort to take a place with mani i'm the
industrial and other departments of the
world is that her proper sphere is that of
home. 1t appears now that many women
who desire TO be independent and self-sup-
porting are really making the home the
homes, but the homes Of others, and that
in this way, they are contributing to the
comfort of members of the community, and
at the same time following "A vocation for

of our large cities women of education and
refinement are coming forward as specialists

on persons who perform their duties per-

comfort of their employees.
1t cannot be doubted that the work

exacting, If it does not sometimes involve
a serious physical and mental strain. To

Besides this, women who have chosen
literary or an artistic career and who live
in apartments where they can have quiet
and retirement, cannot always find the time
to attend to matters of rouane, such as
mending, keeping tastefully furnished rooms
and other necessary things. Sometimes two

1t is said, also, that women buffers, are

the Punishment of the butler who has so

If '.OId KRIS BE Myth Whence
Come the Realities:

Salt Lake Tribune.
Some Eastern churchmen are attacking
Santa Claus and want him unfrocked as
the chldrens Christmas angel of love and
plenty. They reason with the bigots saw
age exactness that he is a myth that to
extol him is a deception; that deception is
sin; that sin is unaduterated wickedness
that leadeth only to perditon. But from
his seat in his sleigh above. the chimney
tops old Santa pulls back the furs from
over his mouth and laughs, while his rein
deers shake their bells until all the night
ing stars twinkle their approval. A myth.
Ell? DO myths come loaded with goodie-
goodies in inexhaustible quantities? Has
this so-called myth ever failed? Does he
not work all the year to prepare the treas
ures which he showers upon the world on
Christmas eve? Trumpets, and horns and
drums, and sleds, and dolls, and locomo-
tives, and gorgeous books, and candies, and
goodie-g goodies without limit, and regardless
OF the tariff or the inheritance taxi Does
childhood sends up the ehimneys and does
he not answer every one? Did not grandma
hear the rattle of the hoofs and the jingle
of the bells of his RENDERS last Christmas
eve and did she not find the stocking filed
a moment later? Dethrone a guardian angel
like that? The thought is as impossible as
it is ridiculous
But what an unimaginative soul it must
have been that awakened that thought.
The germ of faith in childhood first begins
to expand under the naturalization OF the
dream of Santa Claus Out of the unfath-
enable and illimitable blessed presence
The child does not seek to analyze what
might seem improbable in the story; the
blessed fact that the story materiaiZes is
enough. and when the years advance and
the truth is known that there are no ring
ing bells, no loaded sleigh that Santa Claus
is but another name for those who from
childhood had all the time been heaping
bounties and blessings upon their little
ones. there is no shock; only the faith Is
withdrawn from the one they never saw and
given to the one whose face above their
pillow Is their oldest remembrance. and add
ed to II is thankfulness for the goodness
of God in giving them such guardian.
Better try no more Weyler tactics on Santa
Claus; he cannot be subdued.

Both wooden mills are running steadily,
but are not pushed so much as a few weeks

outlook for next year, Mr.. Merritt says, is
very favorable. The last four months have

throughout the country. AS the national Of

New York state division devoted most of
it's time during the session of the Legisla-
ture of 1897 in fighting for the passage of

feated, but will be brought up again this

or less success in Maine, Vermont, New
Hampshire. Connecticut. Wisconsin, Ore
gon, California-all the direct result of agi-
tation by wheelmen The bill for the APP
pointment of national highway commits
sion was due to the efforts of Wheelmen.
Besides this pioneer work, the divisions
have devoted considerable energy. success

in this way to show 70 farmers, the most
bitter enemies of road improvement, the
worth and necessity of good roadways.
Cycle paths have been built in Indianapolis.

all the boilers of the Cincinnati Edison
Electric Company, aggregating 5000 horse
power, with this novel device is now being
filled by the Allfree firm. 1t is used also
by the mammoth Chicago sugar refinery
and other large power users The CRATE is
an endless horizontal link chain device,
travelling at the rate of three feet an hour
from front to rear of furnace, passing over

tached to the outside of the fire front and
Above the outside drum is an iron coal

this fresh coal enters the fire chamber it
passes under low arch and is cooked by

gases being consumed by passing over the
