FEAR BEING BURIED ALIVE.
People of All Ages Have Made Pro-
vision Against Such Dreaded
Ending.

Every now and then we run across
people who have a morbid fear of be-
ing buried alive. They have cautioned
their friends about the matter. They
must not be buried until certain num-
Der of days after they die, says Medical
Talk. Numerous tests must be ap-
piled to make sure that they are really
! dead. They seem to have a constant
fear that they are going to be buried
alive.
They have doubtless read all sorts OF
grewsome tales about the resurrection
| of persons who have been buried alive
There are many of these stories afloat
but the truth of the matter is they are
largely made up of superstition and
vague rumors, there being few. If any
of them, that are well-authenticated
The physician is quick to detect any
sign of life, and there is very little dam
ger of being buried while yet alive.
Just recently, in the death of Miss
Francis Power CObbe, there has been a
demonstration of this morbid fear of be-
ing buried alive. So great was her
solicitude that in her will she directs
her medical attendant to cut the arteries
rer that it will almost entirely sever
the head from the body. In order to
make quite sure that this will be done
she makes the penalty of disobedience
to be the invalidation of her will.
This is fear that has been handed
down through the ages. At one time
in Germany, and other countries. rooms
were established in which dead bodies
were placed, and fastened to the hand of
each was bell rope. Then if the sup
posed dead person were not really dead,
and should make any movement, the
rope would be pulled and the bell would
ring. But the bell was never heard to
ring.
1t is true there have been numerous
cases where people have been supposed
to be dead but were resuscitated before
burial, but the signs of life are SO we'll
known, and the evidences of death so
that there is little if any
danger of being buried alive.

THE BIBLE WAS MUCH USED

DONG the honors as hostess in the absence
OF her mother, relates the Philadelphia
Press. Spying a well-worn family Bible near
at hand, the minister commented on the
tact that there must be good father in the
house, which contained proof of having used
the Bible to so great an extent.
Oh, yes said the child, papa has US on

good father call upon this grand volumne %

LEARNING THINGS
We Are All in the Apprentice Class.

When a simple change of diet brings
back health and happiness the story is
briefly told. A lady of Springfield, ILL.,
says: after being afflicted for years
with nervousness and heart trouble,
received a shock four years ago that
left me in such a condition that my
life was despaired of. I could get no
relief from doctors nor from the num-
berless heart and nerve medicines
tried because 1 didn't know that the
coffee was daily putting me back more
than the Drs. could put me ahead.
Finally at the request of friend
left off coffee and began the use Of
Postum and against my convictions
gradually improved in health until for
the past s or months 1 have been
entirely free from nervousness and
those terrible sinking, weakening
spells Of heart trouble.
My troubles all came from the use
of coffee which drunk from childhood
and yet they disappeared when I quit
coffee and took up the use of Postum
Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Creek, Mich.
Many people marvel at the effects of
leaving off coffee and drinking Postum
but there is nothing marvellous about
it-only common sense
Coffee is a destroyer-Postum is
rebuilder. That's the reason.

a blow on the jaw that sent Monroe to
his knees. JeffrieS went back to his
corner after the opening round with
a sheer and laugh on his swarthy
face, while Monroe's seconds busted
themselves with smelling salts and
restoratives. When the two came to-
gether for the second round, the laugh
on the champions visage changed to
a look of determination that BODIED Ill

| Forty five seconds after the gong
sounded Monroe was lying on the

ready, if necessary, to put the Quietus
on the championship ambitions of his
adversary. The miner was too dazed
to rise to his feet, and timekeepers
counted him out. but the husky man
from Southern California did not I'M
derstand that the victory was already
his, nor could Monroe realize that his
pugilistic star had so early set, and the
two men in moment or two were fac
ing one another, and Jeffries landed a
terrific blow on the jaw of his stag
gering opponent. 1t was at this time
that Graney came forward and ordered
Jeffries away, telling him that the fight
was ended in his favor Monroe tot

from his face and fell into his chair,
Gazed and helpless. His seconds imme-
