Boston, Septemb<t <t 25.-Details of the recent capture of Miss Stone the Ameri- can missionary, and one of her helpers,
 by brigands in Turkey are given In let ter just received here by the American board of commissioners for the foreign commissions. The facts became known to one of the missionaries of the board
 at Samokoo, European Turkey, to whom members of the party with whom Miss { Stone and her assistant, Mrs. Tailka, were travelling when the capture was made and who fled on the approach of the out laws. They could give no information as to where Miss Stone and her companion were taken. The rest of the party were detained under guard for some time. The
 robbers finally relieved them of their
 vaiuables and departed.
 The capture was made while Miss Stone
 and Mrs. Tailka, the wife of an Albanian
 preacher. were traveling with friends
 Banksto to Djumao. There were fifteen to eighteen in the party. The bandits confronted them in a narrow valley, sur rounded them and compelled them to wad river and ascend wooded noun tain side for about an hour.

w and SOCIETY
The Woman's Exchange.

Many fashionable people were lunching in the cafe at the Woman's Exchange yesterday, and it was an unusually suc- cessful day.
 During the month of September Mrs. Goode Morgan has been in charge of the exchange. filling the position temporarily of Miss Jeanette Walters, who has been absent on her vacation. Miss Walters returned yesterday and walked Into the cafe just at the luncheon hour She really held an informal reception and passersby who glimpsed her familiar fig ure at her desk dropped in to greet her. The postman hurrying past when told that she had returned. stepped through the doorway to speak to her. The ebony goddesses back In the kitchen. in their delight almost forgot their orders. Mrs. Morgan confessed that she was the glad dest of all to have Miss Walters back again.
 Housekeeping Is not any easy thing at the exchange, and the woman who does 1t successfully must have an unusual share of ability in this direction. As manager of the exchange, Miss Walters great success Is known throughout the entire city, and to fill her place for even a few weeks Is difficult Mrs. Morgan has demonstrated her ability to meet the heavy demands made upon a woman in this position. and her conduct of the exchange has been most satisfactory. She will remain In charge until the first of October, when Miss Walters will again assume her duties. Since Miss Walters went away a section of the ex- change cafe has been let to a Birming- ham florist, and yesterday when Miss Walters returned she thought that the exchange had been gorgeously decorated in her honor. Potted plants and palms were here and there and the most ex- quisite roses seemed to be massed every where she turned She thought that she had made mistake in the old familiar number. On her own desk, however, Dlossomcd few carnations amidst some feathery ferns. There was no mistaking that they had been placed there in honor of her return.

"cHllDREN AND FOOLS" Judge of a Thing Half Done."

This Is particularly applicable In cases where persons seriously troubled from the effects of coffee drinking and who take up Postum Food Coffee in it's place, attempt to make the new beverage with a little hot water and two or three min utes boiling. That sort of a lick and a promise" produces drink that Is simply exasperating. It Is fiat and tasteless, whereas the person who will boil the Postum full fifteen minutes after the act ual bubbling and boiling begins will have beverage that is something.
 There Is a point between twelve and fifteen minutes of boiling when the char acter of Postum is changed, the food value Is extracted and the delicious flavor which much resembles the milder and more expensive grades of Java coffee is produced.
 A lady in Salem, Ore, says: When ever I drank coffee at night I always passed a restless, wakeful night. Ex- treme nervousness and a weak stom ach have followed me ever since l have been using coffee. Finally I got into such a state that my dyspepsia took the form of spasms and heart weakness.
 "1 suffered intensely. and when physi- clan was called, he inquired, among other things, If drank coffee and insisted that I leave it off. I did so and took up tea. which I found almost as bad. Finally husband brought home package of Postum, and we tried 1t (strietly accord ing to directions, for we believe in the adage that Children and fools judge of thing half done)
 The new coffee was delicious and from that day until now (which is a year) 1t has been our only drink at meals. My dyspepsia, spasms. etc., are a thing of the past. My husband had suffered some years with bilious headaches, and indi- gestion. but during the past year on Pos tum Food Coffee he has entirely recov- cred his health and gained much in weight. Our friends frequently comment on our improved appearance and change in complexion" Name of writer supplied by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich.
