The president received in his academical gown and the fact that his stately pres ence was there for the last time at such function gave much interest to the oc- caslon and not a little pathos.

A PLUMP FIGURE
Makes a First Class, Telling
 Argument.

"About a year ago a doctor and his wife came to board with us' we al ready had Miss G., who was at that time thin and yellow and considerably out of health.
 .The first morning the new boarders came to the table as guests, the young lady remarked as she sat her cup down, .This is coffee!' while the doctor added, Not at all like the poor coffee they have been giving us at the hotel l smiled behind my napkin and asked if either Of them ever used Postum Food Coffee. The doctor said he had tasted it, but it was weak miserable stuff. Miss G. had heard of it and wished she could try it.
 q said nothing, but at the end of three months, when Miss G. was ready to leave us for new field of labor said: T have been giving you Postum Food Coffee all the time you have been here What, is that coffee Postum? she said. I remarked that l had noticed with s~reot pleasure her daily gain in health. and now that she was leaving us after only three months at our table, she had rosy cheeks and plump figure, which was all the argument anyone needed to prove tue 1dcl tlidt oiic iie'u pCeh we'll cared for, and the reason for her gain in health was the use of Postum Food Coffee, for no other change had been made of any account in her food.
 '"The doctor was very much de- lighted with the experiment and discovered that where he had tried Postum before he had been unfortu- nate in having it underboiled. Postum must be boiled fifteen or twenty min utes to bring out the delicious flavor, and then it will suit the taste of any one" Mrs. Florence Dougherty, Placer vile, Idaho.
