who take up Postum Food Coffee in

of a click and promise produces a

who will boil the Postum full fifteen
minutes after the actual bubbling and
boiling begins, will have beverage

There is point between twelve and
fifteen minutes of boiling, when the
character of Postum is changed, the
food value Is extracted and the deli

milder and more expensive grades of
Java coffee is produced.

SUICIDE
An Evil, Which Should be
Checked, Says a Preacher.

Lexington, KY, March "a sermon
on Suicide" was preached here by
Rev. w. D. Nomlin, of the Upper st.
Baptist Church, and has caused much
talk. He used vigorous language, and
in view of the fact that several promi-
nent citizens have recently committed
suicide, the sermon caused the more
comment. Among other things, he said
II have held the funeral services
over twice us many suicides as over
those who are killed by some one
else. 1t is growing growing here and
all over the country,
What are the causes of suicide?
Financial failure, remorse from i'll

hood, lack of faith in God.
what is the remedy2
"There will be suicides as long as
the world stands. 1t cannot be stopped,
but it can be checked. Build up heal
thy public sentiment against it. Let
no false charity throw around it the
cloak of respectability. Make no ex-
cuses. Drastic measures must be used.
Let the papers call it an outrageous
murder. Pass law that the bodies of
all suicides shall be surrendered to
medical colleges for dissection.
The man who takes out an insur-
ance policy with the intention of COM
mitting suicide, commits a foul MUIR

than suicide, for suicide is but the

Many people with weak digestion,
as we'll as some physicians, consider
the first step to take in attempting to
cure indigestion is to restrict the diet,
either by selecting certain foods and
rejecting others or to cut down the
amount of food eaten to barely enough
to keep soul and body together, IN 9th
er words, the starvation plan is by
many supposed 10 be the first essen
tial.
All this is radically wrong. 1t is fool
ish and unscientfc to recommend
dieting to a man already suffering
from starvation, because indigestion
itself starves every organ, nerve and
fibre in the body.
What people with poor digestion
most need is abundant nutrition,
plenty of good, wholesome, properly
cooked food, and something TO assist
the weak stomach to digest it.
This is exactly the purpose for which
Stuart Dyspepsia Tablets are adapted
and the true reason why they cure the
worst cases of stomach trouble.
Eat a sufficient amount of whole
some food and after each meal take
one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's to promptly digest it.
In this way the system is nourished
and the overworked stomach rested,
because the tablets will digest the food
whether the stomach works or not,
one grain of the active digestive prn-
eiple in Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
being sufficient TO digest 5000 grains
of meat, eggs, or other albumlnous
food.
DIR. Harlandson and DR., Redwell
recommend these tablets in all cases
of defective digestion because the pep
sin and diastase in them are absolutely
free from animal matter and other i'm
purities, and being pleasant to the
taste are as safe and harmless for the
child as for the adult.
All drug stores sell this excellent pre-.
paration, and the daily use of them af-
ter meals WIN be Of great benefit, not
only as an Immediate relief but to per-
manently build NJ and inyigorate the
digestive organs.

WHERE QUEEN VICTORIA DIED.
Osborne House, Which Edward Pre-

Osborne House, Which Edward Pre-.
scented to the British Nation.
Famous Osborne House, one of the
favOrite residences of the late Queen
Victoria, which was presented to the
Coronation day, is one Of the most mag
nlfcent Of the several homes of Eng
lish royalty. The gift is peculiarly graf
flying to the British public, as Osborne
is sacred to the memory of the late
Queen and will ever be inseparably con-
beloved sovereign.
AS 1t will be necessary for King Ed
ward to spend considerable part of
the year in London and in its neighbor-
hood, at Windsor, and having also
strong home ties in the county of Nor
folk, he felt that he would be unable to
make adequate use of Osborne House
as royal residence, and he therefore,
offered the property as a gift TO the ma
ton. 1t is the Kings desire that the
house be devoted to national purposes
and converted into a convalescent
home for officers of the army and navy
whose health has been impaired In the
service of their country.
1t was at Osborne House, Isle of

Grim Jests of Criminals

The callOusness and even the grim
humor of condemned criminals is well
exempllfied by the following stories,
says the London Globe. On walking to
the scatfold in solemn procession
criminal once called to the governor of
the prison: Just oblige me, guvnor,"
he said, "by telling me the day o. the
week." Monday" answered the sur
prised governor. "Mondayw exclaimed
the prisoner in disgusted tones; well,
this 'ere's fine way of beginning Il
week, amt it," And he marched ON
with disgust imprinted on every line IN
his face.
On another occasion an oiIicious
hangman whispered as he placed the
white cap on his victims head: "If
there's anything you'd like to arst me
I'll be pleased to answer, yer know"
The victim craned his neck forward,
and said in an equally low, but very
much more anxious voice, You might
tell me, isis this planking safe?"
