"cOFFEE HEARTS,"
More Frequent Than Tobacco Hearts

Coffee drinking frequently affects the
heart and many cases of heart trouble
are relieved or entirely cured by leaving
off coffee and taking on Postum Food
Coffee. .'s
good illustration is that of lady
who says, 'I was troubled, for many
years, with my heart and at times would
become unconscious. The children have
many times run for the neighbors to
come in and restore me by putting my
feet in hot water and rubbing me.
DR.. Short frequently told me that cof-
fee was poison to me and was really
the cause of my weak heart. l could not
do without the coffee though, but finally
the doctor told me it was certain death if
1 did not give it up. This was about five
years ago and changed from coffee to
Postum Food Coffee. My heart trouble
gradually disappeared and now I am en-
tirely we'll, have never used a particle Of
coffee since my first cup Of Postum.
l gave a little Postum to lady friend
one day to take home and try. She re-
ported that she did not like it at all. I
found she boiled it only five minutes, so
7 gave her some more and told her to
boil it 20 minutes: That was different.
She has been using Postum now long
time.
It cured her daughter of liver trouble,
restored her fresh, pretty complexion
and cured the mother from headaches
from which she suffered severely. Mrs

ASKS AN INVESTIGATION
Brother of Anton Rachel Who Died
in St. Peter Asylum.

The brother of Anton Rachel, who died
at the st. Peter hospital Feb. IL, has de-
manded an investigation. Rachel was
juror in the Tanke murder case, and be-
came violently insane. He was taken to
the hospital Feb. 9, and died three days
later. At the inquest, it is said, three
ribs were found broken, and the relatives
think unnecessary violence was used in
handling the man.

Popular Quotations.

MI. Churton Collins, in discussing
popular quotations, exclaims: "How
few, for example, who quote the well
known sentiment, 'Salus populi SUI
prema leX'-'The health of the people
is the highest law'-know that they
are quoting the Roman law OF the
twelve tables, or when they talk of
leaving no stone unturned' that they
are quoting the reply Of the Delphic
oracle to Polycrates, or when they
talk of calling spade a spade they
are quoting an anonymous Greek
comic poet. Thus, too, There's many
a slip 'twixt the cup and the lip is a
literal translation of an hexameter in
an anonymous Greek poet. So is The
mills of God grind slow, but they
grind small"

Smoking in church is q Dutch GUS
tom. Dutchmen are such inveterate
smokers that one Of them is rarely
seen without his pipe. He finds him
self unable to deprive himself of the
indulgence even for the short period
of a church service. A similar practice
exists in several churches in South
America. Smoking in churches in Great
Britain is said to have been prevalent
at the end Of the sixteenth and the be-
ginning of the seventeenth century.
At one time smoking was carried to
such an excess in Seville cathedral that
the chapter applied to the pope for
power to rcpress the abuse. Urban
Will, yielding to their wish, issued a
bull, which was promulgated Jan. 80
1912.
In Wales smoking in church was in
dulged in as late as 1850. In one church
the communion table stood in the aisle,
and the farmers were in the habit of
putting their hats upon it, and when
the service began they lighted their
pipes and smoked, without any thought

DIAMONDS.
United States Buys Three-flfths Of
Worlds Output.

Worlds Output.
The world has never seen and in no
other part of the world is there now to
be seen anything like Americas jewel
madness as shown by the conditions of
today, when more than 800 New York
establishments are engaged solely in
the importation of precious stones,
when agents Of American dealers are
searching Europe for the white gem
and hopelessly endeavoring to supply
American appeals for rubies and emer-
aids and when G,000 men in South At
RIGA are toiling to obtain diamonds,
more than half of which are to add to
the beauty and happiness Of the Amer
lean woman.
1t is she that has caused the United
States to become the greatest diamond
market in the world. For her we have
imported in single year $20000,O0O
worth Of precious stones, for her at
one period we struggled them in at the
rate Of 100000 a year, for her we
annually buy something like $12,O00,-
900 worth of diamonds and thus for
her sake heartlessly leave Of the
worlds total output of diamonds only
some $S,COO,000 worth to satisfy the
vanity of all the rest of the women on
earth.
For her adOrnment we annually
cause to be brought to this country
diamonds weighing in the aggregate
1920 pounds, a weight three times that
of the total output Of the famous KIM
berley field and practically the equal of
that of the whole of South Africa, the
worlds greatest diamond mine.-Franlz

A Way of Cooking Rodents.

The negro slaves of Jamaica used to
regard rats as a dainty, their masters
not providing them with any other
meat. Their method of cooking the
toothsome rodents was to impale each
one on a long wooden skewer after
cleaning the animal and cutting off the
tail, turning it briskly around over a
fire until the hair was all burned off.
Then it was scraped until free from
fur, and finally the end of the skewer
was stuck into the ground. inclined to-
ward the fire, until it was toasted dry
and crisp, thus being made ready for
the meal

The Heart.

That wonderful piece of mechanism,
the heart, appears to work continually
day and night from birth to death, but
in reality there are short pauses or
rests between each beat which, though
minute in themselves. mount up in the
aggregate to eight hours out of every
twenty-four. These short pauses ena-
BILE the heart to repair the waste which
constant work entails and without
which rests it would break down.
