HAPPY CHILDHOOD.
Right Food Makes Happy Children BE-
causo They Are Healthy.

Sometimes milk does not agree with
children or adults. The same thing is
true of other articles of food. what
agrees with one sometimes does not
agree with others.
But food can be so prepared that 1t
will agree with the weakest stomach.
As an Observation-Disclosures, no matter
how weak the stomach, can eat, relish
and digest nice hot cup of Postum
coffee with a spoonful or two OF Grape
Nuts poured in, and such a comDiha-
ton contains nouriShment to carry one
a number Of hours, for almost every
particle of 1t will be digested and
taken up by the system and be made
use Of.
A lady writes from the land OF the
Magnolia and the hooking bird way
down in Alabama and says: II was
led to drink Postum because coffee
gave me sour stomach and made me
nervous. Again Postum was recon-
mended by two we'll known physicians
for nv children, and | feel especially
grateful for the benefit derived.
milk does not agree with either
child. so to the eldest, aged four aud
onc-half years, give Postum with
plenty Of sweet cream. 1t agrees with
her splenddly, regulating her bowels
perfectly. although she is of consti'
pated habit.
.For the youngest, aged two and one
half years, use one half Postum and
one-half SKINNED milk. | have MOI
given any medicine since the children
began using Postum, and they enjoy
every drop Of it.

Postum agrees perfectly with chill

The SneezeWood Tree.

Among its many other peculiarities
South Africa includes the "sneeze.
wood" tree, which takes its name from
the fact that one cannot cut it with a
saw without sneezing. Even in plan
ing the wood it will sometimes have
the same effect.
No insect or worm will touch it; 1t is
bitter to the taste, and its specific gray.
ity is heavier than water.
The color is light brown, the grain
running very close and hard; It is, too
a nice-looking wood. and takes good
polish. For dock work, piers, or Jet.
ties it is a most useful timber, keep
ing sound long time while under
water.

How Chinese Cure Sick.

The Chinese have curious way OF
curing their sick. When a man sut-
fers with serious illness, one OF his
friends, usually the dearest, performs
strange ceremony to effect cure
For this he procures light branch
of a tree, strips off all the leaves,
with the exception Of few at the end.
and to this he fastens small mirror
of polished steel, and under this he
attaches one Of the garments Of the
sufferer. Thus strangely equipped he
takes a short walk in the country,
throwing the branch across his Shout
der, while the garment is waving in
the wind
During the time he is walking a
priest in the nearest church offers
prayers for the cure of the one who is
ill.,
The Chinese think that the garment
of the sick person will attract the Ill
ness of it's master, and so will relieve
him. This is regarded as an infallibls
means to cure those they love.
