Coffee Drinkers Require Proof.

When persons insist on taking some
kind of food or drink that causes dis
ease it is not fair to blame a Doctor
for not curing them.
Coffee keeps thousands of people
sick in spite of all the Doctor can do to
cure them. There is but one way to
get well. That is to quit coffee abso-
lutely: a great help will be to shift
over to Postum Food Coffee.
A case of this kind is illustrated by
Mrs. Z. Kelly, 223-Sth Ave, Newark,
N. j., who says, Il have been ailing
for about eight years with bilious
trouble and indigestion. Every doctor

the idea of coffee hurting me, until

then leaned back to meet his glance.

"Then | had better take the proofs

roll as he spoke and she mechanically
resumed her pen.
But about that"-the rest of the
sentence vanished from his intelli-
gence. His hand slipped from his
trousers pocket and his heavy ring
rang against her chair. He bent down
in sudden forgetfulness of the third
person and when he raised his head he
was wildly conscious of that other
presence. Also that he would have to
meet it face to face before he could
leave the room.
But the girl had never overlooked
the third person. AS soon as it hap
pened she plunged her pen into the ink
and began TO write rapidly. The man
stood watching her busy pen point
His hand rushed back to its pocket and
he toyed nervously with the roll of
proofs. He had got himself into the
very deuce of scrape.
She realized it all and arose to the
emergency.
"Will you have time to run over that
before you go?" She showed some
sheets toward him and spoke hriskly.
He caught them quickly, and, rest
ing them on the top of her desk, drew
out a blue pencil and began to draw
fine parallel line with painstaking
zeal
"What I cannot understand" he said
in a worried tone, sis why l couldn't

"There was no need for you to do il

with increasing rapidity.

A quick smile leaped to his lips.

The Indian and the spectacIes.

The Holton Recorder tells an anus
ing story Of an Indian from the Pot
tawatomie reservation who visited an
oculist in Holton to get pair of
glasses. The oculist seated him and
went through the usual tests with
printed cards, eliciting from his GUS
toner but little comment as he tried
on the different lenses. AT last, when
the oculist was almost in despair, the
Indian pulled couple of dice from his
pocket. threw them on the floor,
snapped his fingers as he grunted:
"Come sevenl" and then smiled all
over his fat face when he found he
could distinguish the spots readily.
And the lesson seems to be that even
the unphilosophic red man has
grasped the immortal truth that the
price of success is painstaking to tho
