CAPACITY FOR SILENCE.
English People Lead Those of All
4 Other Nations in the Art of
Keeping stall.

The Anglo-Saxon race, according to
. wriser in the London Queen, has a
tremendous capacity for silence. "Re-
Gently" he says, 81 have been traveline
and seeing at close quarters people of
nearly all European nations, as well as
Americans, Arabs, negroes and Ber-
bers. OF these the English and Ameri-
cans seem to have most closely laid to
heart Rosseau's doctrine regarding
the vanity of continual chattering. I
often see English people sitting in SOL
emn silence at their little tables in the
salle-a-manger, regarding, with GER
tain frigid surprise, their chattering
and laughing neighbors. Americans
may be, as they are often said to be,
brilliant conversationalists in general
society, but they have apparently lit
tie to say in the family circle. French
family parties make their wellxin ring
with their sallies. Germans lift the
roof with their gutteral uproar. The
peculiar, complaining sound of italian
voices seldom ceases even for mo-
ment, but 1 have seen an American
couple sit through dinner in unbroken
silence, and in the hotel in which am
now staying, 1 dine every evening at
the table next to an American father,
mother and two strapping daughters,
who seldom utter a word and never
carry on continuous conversation.

The effort being made to have q
power boat race Decoration Day
should be pushed through to an accom-
plished fact. Perth .Amboy has a fine
water front and there are plenty of
yachting enthusiasts hereabouts. The
sport should be as common in summer
as bowling in winter. There is much
rivalry between the owners of power
boats and chance to compete would
be very interesting.

POINTS TO YOU
How Coffee Sets Its Grip and Is Never
Suspected

1t is surprising how many people
never suspect that coffee Is causing all
their trouble until they are finally
knocked out or some disease caused
by coffee has become chronic and al
most incurable.
Even in chronic cases the chances
are shift from coffee to Postum Food
Coffee will build the sick one UP and in
time effect cure.
Sometimes this happens with sur
prising promptness. A lady of SYRIA
cuse, Neb., says: Last spring a year
ago my doctor told me would have to
stop drinking coffee. I had heart
trouble so bad that the least excite
ment would cause me to choke up 50 I
could scarcely get my breath and I
was so nervous I could not bear to
have the children move around the
house.
Doctor told my husband to get Pos
tum for me, but before he did so we
moved to the country and l fell back
on milk and water, but even such ex-
ertion as climbing a fiight~of stairs
caused my heart to hurt me SO I would
feel sick and faint.
This continued all summer until in
the fall we again moved to Syracuse.
There I got some Postum and began to
feel so much better after using one
package that continued it's use alto
gether and I am now better in health

Rates to eulf and Atlantic,

Comparative rates from Missouri river
points to the gulf and to the Atlantic
were discussed yesterday at the meet
ing Of the executive officials of western
roads. The gulf lines ask a differential
of SA cents a 100 pounds on flour and
wheat under the rate made from KAN
sas City to New York. The Kansas City
Chicago lines and eastern connections say
such differential would divert export
traffic to New Orleans. The present diff
ferential is cents. The western lines
would not consent to a lower rate, and a.
war Is possible.
