necklace and diamonds valued at $1,000.
to-day recovered the jewels. The gems

then left the bank, forgetting her valuable
property, but returned quickly to find 1t

 The Daily Mail adds that this idea of better fitting Younger Britain" to cope successfully with rival nationals ties was long dominant scheme with Rhodes. but that even his closest friends little imagined the absorbing hold it obtained on him until this was disclosed by the terms of his will.
 The details of this plan of education will be made public in a few days.

COFFEE PHILOSOPHY. Don't Blame the Doctor.

The most dangerous false friend is the one that under the gufse of friend ship day by day insinuates himself into your good graces and takes ad- vantage of the association to do you harm: that is exactly the position Of coffee. It enters your sanctum under the guise of a warm, close friend and slowly, day by day, works away at your destruction.
 Why this should be no one can say but it is a fact nevertheless. Hun dreds of thousands are testifying of the terrible straits that coffee drinking has led them into.
 In our clearer moments We know 1 that health, bounding, perfect health brings with it the poise of nerve and clearness of mind that makes us kings instead of slaves, and brings a heaven on earth to us.
 Through the very perversity of man. kind showing the elements of a tang ible demon, we persist in taking into mouth and stomach the false friend even after We know it is working to
 throw us out of the peaceful heaven Of health, and set up within us that con- dtion of disease that the nerves show
 variously in dyspepsia. heart trouble,
 kidney trouble. etc, e;c.
 The patient physician who has, for years, been explaining to different peo-
 pie under his care the powerful effects of coffee on highly organized persons. finally becomes bit careless and feels
 that he can only point to the facts and
 then let patients go their own pa th
 Their very perversity will make of
 them slaves, and they follow the habit with the blind, logged fatalism that cannot be understood.
 Coffee 'soaks" them certain and sure, and when they are hit hard enough they finally come around to the point where they are forced to give it
 up, then Postum Food Coffee comes as q relief in the time of desperate trou- l ble. It requires no effort to slip off coffee drinking for wei made Postum and the change in health is something miraculous in many cases.
