SCHOOL TEACHER


''I relied on coffee so much to keep me
up, having been told that it was mild
stimulant,' that 1 hardly knew what to
do when 1 found 1t was really pulling me
down hill. My sleep was badly broken
at night and 1 was all unstrung Am g.
school teacher, and was exceedingly
nervous.
when it became evident that 1 was in
a very bad condition, was induced to
leave off coffee and try Postum Food
Coffee. Mother made it first, but none
of us could endure it, 1t was so fiat and
tasteless. She proposed to throw the
package away, but 1 said, Suspend judg-
ment until we have made it strictly ac-
cording to directions 1t seems she had
made the Postum like she always made
coffee, taking it off the stove as soon as
1t began to boil Mother was so preju-
diced against it that she did not care to
try 1t again, but l got sister to make the
Postum next morning strictly according
to directions, that is, allow 1t to boil full
fifteen minutes after the boiling begins.
We We're all amazed al the difference
Sister said It was better coffee, to her
taste, than the old, and father, who is an
elderly gentleman and had used coffee all
his life, appeared to relish the Postum as
well as my little brother, who took to 1t
from the first.
For while, mother clung to her old
IdNorlle, although she was sick more or
less of the time. Finally, one morning,
she drank a cup Of Postum by mistake,
believing it to be coffee. We joked her
so much about 1T, because she did not
discover the difference that she finally
admitted she had occasionally taken a SIP
of the Postum Coffees and from that time
she proposed to uses 1T. altogether. Her
health has been very greatly improved,
and we are all strong advocates of Pos
tum. Please omit my name from publica-

CHATS FOR SHOPPERS.

A deep ruffle of crepe de chine below
flutes, frills and lace points finishes the
modish sheath petticoat of taffeta silk.
Mercerized sateen petticoats are as
handsome in effect as those Of satin and
lustrous silks. Imported black italian
cloth also makes an admirable under
skirt.
White muslin or cambria skirts that
will escape the ground will be used on
rainy days by those who do not adopt
the golf skirt with knickerbockers or
short dark petticoat. The muslin skirt is
the best for muddy walks, as it can be
laundered, whereas silk skirt is often
ruined by one outing in wet weather
The reversible side of the double
faced cloth" in vogue for habit skirts is
generally In small plaids or checks Of
rather somber colorings. The skirts are
finished with a very deep stitched hem
contrasting crosswise bands trim

REDUCES THE COST.
New Assessment for Phalen Park
Less Than the Old.

LeSS lHdH NHV OINI
The board of public works has figured
out that the assessment for the condem-
nation of the land to be taken for Phalen
park will aggregate $4,000, which is con-
siderable of a reduction as compared
with the assessment for the park made
about year ago At that time the total
cost was $4,000, including the expenses
connected with the condemnation and as
sessment, and of this sum $4,000 was
paid from the park board funds. The fig
ures of $4,000 have not been definitely de-
cided upon by the board, but 1t Is safe
to say that the amount will not be more
than 81, 600 in excess of this sum. The mat
ter will come up for first hearing before
the board of public works during the next

President A. T. Ankeny, of the state
normal school board, yesterday submitted
his annual report to Gov Lind. In the
past it has not been customary for the
report to be made to the chief executive.
although it is required by law President
Ankeny, after brief review of the or
ganization of the board last spring,
says:
THE board at once took steps looking
to a revision of the rules governing the
board and the schools and also revised
the course Of study, making the school
work not only more uniform, but more
efficient. 1 think | may say in a general
way that the general tone and vigor
of both the board and the schools have
been materially strengthened and i'm
proved; in the very short time which has
elapsed much remains to be done
''The board formerly held two regular
meetings in each year Upon full con-
sideration it was deemed advisable that
two additional regular meetings be held
at the normal school In accordance
with this change, the November meeting
was held at MOorhead. The advantages
were that all the members of the board
could inspect the work in the school, pass
upon it's efficiency, examine the buildings,
and see what, if any, changes were de-
sirable. Heretofore much of the responr
sibility has devolved upon the resident
director or received the occasional atten-
ton of a committee. 1 am now con-
vinced Of the wisdom of the change
The receipts and disbursements of the
