was caused by coffee drinking. and
advised that they use Postum Food

Marsh stated that about 3 o'clock in

work. She looked at the clock and told
him it was only O'Clock, and he must
have made a mistake. He said he felt
there was certainly something wrong
with the clock for he had slept his
usual time, was perfectly refreshed
and had his nights rest out. The good
sound sleep continued night after night
after leaving off the coffee and using in
its place the Postum Cereal Food

The solicitor further says. Il told

Among the Caribs of Central America
All Sins Are Punished by
Starvation.

In the whole wide world there is not
. IL class of people to be found who in
fict severer punishment upon them
selves than the CariLa of Central Amer
lea. Their religion, which is one of
the most peculiar kind, demands self
punishment for sins Intentionally or
Internationally committed, SAYS Pear
sons Weekly.
The punishment takes the form of
starvation and close confinement.
IL the sin be in the form of a lie. no
matter whether it is calculated to in
Jure another or not, the sinner roes
without either food or d:ink for three
days, at the end OF which it is be-
Heved that the offender has paid the
penalty for his or her sin.
Bla"phemin:g and using bad language
IS punishable by absolute starvation for
two days. Assault, drunkenness and
other serious sins call for four davs'
starvation for one week, three DAYS.
starvation for the second week. and
two days starvation for the third week
and one days starvation in the fourth
week.
All sins are punished with starvation.
For that reason crime is very low
among the Caribs, who are among the
best behaved and most truthful DeonIe
in the world.

fact that the male birds have the brightest eolors. This seems neces- sary to attract the lady birds who often have many suitors and witness some lively battles among the male birds.
 "A distinctive bird of the South west is the Road Runner. This fine swift blrd also has names such as the 'Chaparral Cock and Snake Bird It is a curious compound of chicken and cuckoo. When angered its crest rises up and ruff of green lsh blue feathers stands out around his neck; the wings are outstretched and the tail famed like a peacock. His hereditary enemy is tae rattle snake, which he hems in bed of cactus and there peoks out his life. Later the little Gopher appears and gnaws off the rattles to adorn his adobe home beneath the dry plains.
 Water is scarce in Arizona. It is a question where the birds secure enough water for subsistence. Lave found them breeding in most arid, isolated spots, yet fourishing a large family of young. It has been suggested that ttere is suffi- cient moisture in the insects, ants and tender buds to take the place of water.
 While very few Eastern birds occur out here, many of them have their representatives. The 'Bobo- link, so familiar to rice fields and upland meadows. is replaced in the West by the Lark Bunting, not so brightly marked but just as jolly songster. The Western Meadow Lark is an improvement over his Eastern brother, for he has the most meodious song to be found in nature. This melody has been set to music. The Arizona Thrasher' has pretty song of several bars, which MT. Mocking Bird has incor porated in his own repetore.
 'The Cow Bird so plentiful everywhere, is represented out here by a smaller variety called the Dwarf Cow Bird. He has the same bad habits, however, commun- istie or polygamous in bis habits and laying his eggs in the nests of smaller birds. Thus be shirks the possibility of raising d family of young rds, yet rest secure that the species will be perpetualed Tbs bird is great frlerd of cattle, picking eff larvae from the backs of animals and devouring the flies that swarm about the heads of cows.
 "As the ants are termed natures undertakers, certainly the 'Buzzards are the public scavengers.
