me to try Postum Food Coffee. Three
months ago / commenced using Pos

and not only have my headaches and
nervous troubles entirely disappeared,
but since then | have been giving
plenty of nurse for my baby, and have
a large, healthy child now.

STOPPED CRUELTY OF INDIAN.
Incident of the Ranchng Days of the
President.

President.
Prof. Brander Matthews tells his
English literature class the following
incident of President Roosevelt's ca
reer as ranchman which was told TO
him by the president himself:
An Indian on a tired pony loped
past the Roosevelt ranch one day. The
pony gave out completely as it neared
the point where the future president
was watching the proceedings. The
Indian leaped to the, ground, kicked
the pony to standing position, tore
off the saddle, and, picking up hand
full of gravel prepared to rub 1t into
the fatigued beasts tender, back pre-
paratory to strapping the saddle on
over the Jumps of stone. This is a
common Indian trick for reviving tired
horses, but in the PRESENT instance it
failed. The amazed Indian was sud
denly seized by the future president
and ordered to remove the gravel and
to pasture the pony until the worn out
beast should be sufficiently rested to
go on.
The surprised savage dared not dis
obey the stern order. Remembering
the incident, nowadays poor 10 doubt
less fails to connect the nervous, in
dignant ranchman with "The White
Father at Washington. New York
World.

BETRAYED BY HER FEET.
Disobedient Patient Was Not Shrewd
Enough to Deceive Doctor.

The patient was feeling so much
better that she insisted on rising with
the family and dressing. After break
fast her daughter declared that she
must undress and get into bed, as the
doctor had ordered that she stay in
bed three or four days.
There! | see the doctors carriage
coming now, mother" she exclaimed.
"Undress as quickly as you can and
I'll keep the doctor talking until you
are ready"
The mother hurried into the bed
room and the daughter went to the
door. For few minutes the daugh-
ter exerted herself to entertain the
physician and then her mother called
out: I'm ready now to see DR..
Blank"
The doctor gravely took the wo-
mans pulse, listened to her breath
ings and did various other wise things,
and then said:
81 should like to examine your feet,
Mrs. A., to see if they are swollen"
The patient gasped.
oh, | don't think it's necessary"
she said.
But | assure you it is" said the
physician gravely.
Then the patient began to giggle.
Good Gracious, Doctor!" she said.
81 have my shoes and stockings on"
And then she explained that she
had only gone to bed when she saw
him coming and had not stopped to
take off her shoes and stockings.

Could Not Vote.

On a certain building job some
years ago. the contractor, who was a
politician, put in a hod-hoisting ma
chine and discharged the men who
had been doing that work. A hod-
carrier who had been thrown out OF
employment by the change came
around a couple of days after to see
how the new apparatus worked. He
watched it for awhile in silence and
finally exclaimed:

but We can't vote."-Philadelphia

tings of the cat; kit" variation of

Avoid the Cheap and big Can" Bak-
ing Powders.

The cheap baking powders have but one
recommendation they certainly give the pur-
chaser plenty of powder for his money. These
powders are 50 carelessy made from inferior
materials that they will not make light, whole
some food Further these cheap baking
powders have a very small percentage of leaven
ing gas; therefore it takes from two to three
times as much of such powder to raise the cake
or biscuit as it does of Calumet Baking Powder
Therefore in the long run the actual cost to the
consumer of such powders is more than Calu-
the bread sometimes bleached and acid, some
times yellow and alkaline, and always unpala-
table They are never of uniform strength
and quality.
Why not buy perfectly wholesome baking
powder like Calumet, that is at the same llme
moderate in price and one which can be relied
upon? Calumet is always the same, keeps IN
