life would admit, he was actively en-
gagged in the work of number of them.
Naturally his affiliations were with his
home organizations, though when occa-

privileges in Washington. He was mem

COZ, = Pinch of snuR.

Louis NVIII. of France, while recitr
ing an ode OF Horace to his chamber
lain one day, suddenly stopped to take
q pinch of snuff and was annoyed to
find that lie had left the box in his
bedroom. =
With a low bow the chamberlain
handed him his own box, and the mon
arch took good pinch from it, after
which he recited the long ode to the
end. He then said to the chamber
lain:
You have a poor niece, l believe.
Well, like your snuff so well that
propose, as q token of gratitude to
you, TO give her the right to open toy
store in the Tuileries. will sign the
necessary papers this evening"
Thanks to this royal grant, the chSm-
berlain's niece conducted small but
profitable business until her death, in
1859 Her little store then became the
property of the state, and ever since it
has been rented for about 400 francs a
year.
Thus the French republic of today
owes a portion Of its income to the
fact that Louis XVIII. appreciated
good snuff.

years ago, when l was forced to dis
continue it, writes lady from Mem

so wretched that life was almost a
burden.
l suffered almost continuously with
nervous headache, dyspepsia and ex-
cruciating pains in my back. My heart
action was very feeble, and suffered
intensely from a feeling of suffoca-
ton or oppression. Was extremely
emaciated and debilitated, and so ner-
vous that the slightest exertion or
excitement would produce very dis
tressing symptoms. My physician
pronounced My trouble nervous pros
tratfon, and could give very slight re-
lief.
A friend urged m to stop drinking
coffee and try Postum Food Coffee and
note the result. My first trial was not
satisfactory, owing to the differ
ence of the cook, but the next time
she followed directions carefully, and
found it decidedly good. After using
| it about two months, I awoke to the
fact that my bad symptoms had al
most totally disappeared. and that my

conviction that Postum alone wa:
