S FUaOY BABIES.
Mothers in Quandary when the Food
Supply Fails.

1t is o difficult matter for mother to
determine just what to do when a young
babe is deprived of the natural mothers
milk.
LII there was any one manufactured
baby food that all babies would thrive
upon, the course would be plain, but
what agrees with one does not with an
other. Mrs. Il. A. Fralick, wife of a
prominent citizen of Grand Rapids, Mich.
tried the various foods on her baby hoy,
without success and finally gave him
Postum Food Coffee which seemed to ex-
actly fit the case and he has lived almost
exclusively on Postum until now when
he is a little past four years old, weighs
As pounds and is one of the sturdiest.
strongest and healthiest youngsters one
will see in days travel. His little sis
ter now two years old has had similar
experience and has been reared entirely
upon Postum.
Postum is the original Cereal Coffee
being made by food experts who treat
grains in scientific manner to give a
highly nutritious food in liquid form
AMI with crisp delightful coffee flavor
Many people cook Postum SO short a
time that it tastes fiat and insipid. 1t
must have at least Is minutes of sharp
boiling after it has commenced to boil
(not only after it has been put upon the
stove) to bring out the food value and the
toothsome flavor.
1t will be found a powerful health re-
storer to those who are injured by COM
mon coffee drinking, and that class mum
Der thousands, who suffer. day by day,
and do not know that Coffee Ga heavy

HOW IT EFFECTS THE BODY.
Firing a Big Gun Brings About Many
Physical Changes.

Not one man in ten thousand has a
clear idea Of just what happens when
a big cannon is fired. The physical
manifestations are numerous. Even
professors Of chemistry and physics
are stumped when they want to diff
ferentiate all the gases set loose and
the peculiar effects they induce. The
puff Of whitish smoke, the flash of
fire, the dim image of the flying
projectile, the roar and the recoil
are all familiar; but back Of these is
a complex mass Of phenomena most
bewildering to the mind of any but
an artillery expert.
First, the cubes, disks, hexagons
or irregular Jumps Of powder are
chemically transformed into a power
full, expanding gas the instant firing
takes place. Then there are innum'
cradle by-products that even chemists
do not understand.
The explosion of gunpowder Is
divided into three distinct stages
called the ignition, inflammation and
combustion. The ingnition is the
setting on fire Of the first grain
while the inflammation is the spread
ing Of the fame over the surface OF
the powder from the point of igni-
ton. Combustion is the burning VI
of each grain. The value OF gun
powder Is due to the fact that when
subjected to suincient heat it be-
comes a gas which expands with
frightful rapidity. The so-called ex-
plosion that takes place when a
match is touched to gunpowder is
merely a chemical change, during
which there is a sudden evolution o.
gases from the original solid,
1t has been calculated that ordi'
nary gunpowder on exploding ex
pands about nine thousand times, OF
fills a space this much larger as a ga,
than when in a solid form. Wher

THESE JOYOUS DAYS.

The picnic days have come again,
The merriest of them all,
When gentle maids and gentlemen
Are fain to go and loll
Around beneath the trees
Where caterpillars fall,
And enjoy the gentle breeze,
And love and fiirt and frolic
And mix up in scenes bucolic,
And accumulate the trademarks of the
merry bumblebees.
The glad excursion days are here,
When trains are loaded down
With people who but once year
Can get away from town
The happy boy in duck
And the maid infuffy gown,
Taking chances on their luck,
Run the risk of being battered
Out of shape, or getting scattered
Ger the landscape when the freight
train or the open switch is
struck
Oh, once again, OH once again
The season is at hand,
The merry, merry season when
Folks yearn to quit the land;
When rowboats are to let,
And funny people stand
Up in them and forget
And dance around like asses
While about a minute passes,
And then the whole kaboodle are, as
usual, upset.
