A PLUMP FIGURE

Makes a Ftrst-Class, Telling Argument.
about year ago doctor aud his
wife came to board with us. We already
had Miss g.. who was at that time thin
and yellow and considerably out of
health.
The first morning the new boardsrs
came to the table as guests, tbs young
lady remarked as she sat her cup down,
tThis is coffee!" while thesdootor added,
Not at all like the poor coffee they have
bean giving us at the hotel.n smiled
behind my napkin and asked, II either of
them ever used Postum Food Coffee. The
doctor said he had tasted it, but it was
weak, miserable stuff. Miss 6. had heard
of it and wished she could try it.
/ said nothing, but at the end of three
months, when Miss G. was rsady to
leave us for new field of labor, said
81 have been giving you Postum Food
Coffee all the time you have been here.
What, is that coffee, Postuma" she said.
l remarked that had noticed with great
pier sure her daily gain in health, and
now that she was leaving us after only
three months ut our table. she had rosy
saeeKs and plump figure, which was
all the argument anyone needed to prove
the fact that she had been well cared 70 r,
and the reason for her gain in health waf
the use Of Postum Food Coffee. for nc
other change had been made Of any &C
count, in her food.
The Doctor was very much delighted
with the experiment, and discovered that
whme he had tried Postum before. he had
lean unfortunate in having il under
toiled. Postum must be boiled fifteen OF
twenty minutes to bring out the delicious
flavor. and then it viii suit The taste OF

WATCHING THE STOMACH.
The Ex-Ray Enables Physicians to Study
Life Functions.

The application of the Roentgen
rays, especially in the domain of med
icine and surgery, are of constantly
widening usefulness, although one
hears less of them in the daily press,
now that the keen edge of novelty
has been blunted by a worlds appre-
citation. Two fields of exploration
made possible by the fuorescence Of
vacuum tubes, and recently entered,
are of noteworthy promise. One is
the examination of lung tissue in the
case Of consumption. The healthy
lung gives comparatively little shad-
ow in the sciagraph, while the dis
eased tissue has much darker ap-
pearance in the picture. It is thus
possible to ascertain exactly the part
affected. and to attempt palliative or
remedial treatment accordingly.
The other recent use of the Roent-
gen ray of especial value is in observ-
ing the movements of the stomach
and its contents in the preliminary
digestive process. By mixing sub
nitrate of bismuth, which is said to
be harmless powder, with the food,
the movements of the stomach may be
seen by means of the Horoscope I'M
der suitable conditions. The knowl-
edge thus gained is of great impor-
lance to the Psychologist and the
physician, and many facts hitherto
unknown are revealed
It is not strange that an English
writer playfully remarked that the X
ray may yet be employed to read the
riddle of the Sphinx. 1t is certain
that Prof. Roentgen gave to the world
discovery which is bringing to NOR
tal gaze many Of the deep-hidden mys-
teries of nature.-Western Electri-
clan,

PaWnee Rock Cutting.

Young Bauer, who was recently
stabbed by young Riggs, at Pawnee
Rock, is said to be about out of danger.
Wednesday the preliminary trial OF
Riggs came up in the justice court.
As Bauer is not dangerously hurt, and
as both young men have many friends
who deeply deplore the affair, the
charge of penal offense was with
drawn by general consent, and Riggs
plead guilty to assault, paying the fine
and costs, and also for medical at
tendance for Bauer.

Digging for Fish

The natives of Kottiar are in the
habit of digging every year, in the
summer, the dry banks of the Vergel
river for fish, which they dig out by
hundreds, just as they would potatoes.
The mud Jumps are broken open, and
the fish, perhaps eight or ten inches
long, viii always be found alive, and
often frisky, as if just removed from
its supposedly native element-the
water A kind of mud fish buries it
self whilst the bottom is still moist,
and remainsthere all the summer,
waking up when the rains commence
again.

1t is suggested that neat. brick
