A C0RKER
But Not Much of a Pastor.

buL NOL VI q EdSlOL-
There was an old clergyman in central
New York State some years ago who
was a very powerful speaker, but whose
private life was by no means exemplary.
Some OF the more outspOken OF his par
ishioneTs were in the habit of remon-
strating with him regularly about this
and his reply invariably was: Don't do
as l do; do as / tell you 10 do
II is so with a great many physicians.
There are hundreds OF medical men who
fully understand the folly OF drinking
coffee and tea who tell their patients not
10 drink either. yet who use one or the
other themselves. But sometimes IL
knocks even the doctor out and he has TO
quit old King Coffee. \ physician OF
Wasioja Mimi, says: Twas a liberal
user OF coffee from my youth and
my health broke down while at
college in 1850. at twenty-five
years OF age. but continued
TO use coffee until 1895. although 1 was
nervous and suffered constantly from a
condition known as diabetes insipidus.
a condition that is we'll known TO be due
to nervousness My weight was below
par and no diet or tonic medicines were
sufficient to restore my vitality and
strength.
I'm 1895 became suspicious OF coffee
and | broke on the habit by taking up
Postum. Since that time my nerves
have become strong and well and my
weight has increased about thirty
pounds. Well boiled. il is a delicious

Even IL your physician does drink cof-
fee. you had better do as he tells you 10

easy way TO shake OF coffee and get Well

dence was obtained that the New Pana-

WOMAN IDENTIFIED.

Her Husband Called Upon Mrs. Babb Who Secured Her Position.
 The identification of the remains of the woman who committed suicide in a public park in Bridgeport a tri1e over week ago had local situation of spe- cial interest. .s ss. :.
 It seems that several weeks ago a woman, giving the name of Mrs. Flor ence Temple of Springfield, called upon Mrs. Mary N. .Babb, who conducts an employment agency at No. 126 Court street, inquiring for work as a house keeper. Mrs. Babb obtained employ ment for the woman at the home of Mrs. Cleveland Smith of Westyille The woman held this position only a brief time and during that time she appeared very restless, in fact nervous and agi- tated. She finally left, with the re- mark that she was going to the shore for rest. ,se ~
 Mrs. Babb, on Tuesday, read de- scription of the woman whose body was in the Bridgeport morgue. She was under the impression that the woman was the same person who called upon her for employment and secured the same in the home of Mrs. Cleveland Smith. ss.., :. /, !. ]
 A short while after reading the de- scription, a gentleman who gave the name os Conant and said that Boston was his home, called upon Mrs Babb and asked if a woman, answering given description, had secured employ ment recently of her. Mrs. Babb was then shown a picture of the woman and she identified 1t as the likeness of the woman for whom she had obtained employment. The man then told her that the woman was his wife. Mrs. Babb gave him copy of the paper containing the description and he con- cluded that the dead woman was his wife. He made the trip to Bridgeport and there identified the woman. MT. Conant stated that his wife had been troubled with mental disease and he thought this weakness prompted her to l take her life.

Mr. Morehouse was interviewed by a Sentinel reporter, and was informed tha. since last Friday six bodies had been washed ashore at Port Jefferson, and five at St. James. One of the men found at Port Jefferson had a large lump on one knee, and appeared to have been deformed in some way. MT. More house thought this might prove means of identifying him. All the bodies were in a bad state of decomposition, and several had been eaten by fishes and were buried as quickly as possible

A Marvellous Success.

Our readers have doubtless noted the advertisements of Karo Corn Syrup now running in our columns. It was a novel idea to put up the best table syrup in airtight friction top cans, and the instant demand for it has been as- tonishing. Over six and one-half mill lion cans were ordered of the manufac- ttlrers in the first ninety days, and the sales are increasing every day. This is but another illustration of the fact that the American housekeeDer is quick to recognize real merit. Mrs. Helen Arm strong, the well known teacher of cook cry. has written a booklet of receipts for the use Of Karo Corn Syrup in all kinds of cooking and candy making, which will be sent free, when issued, to anyone writing to the Corn Products company, New York or Chicago. If any of our readers have been unable to find Karo Corn Syrup at the grocer's, it would be we'll to drop postal to the Corn Products company, giving the grocer's name and address.
