.'s HAPPY CHILDHOOD.
Right Food Makes Happy Children
Because 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 Ct Postum cof-
fee with q spoonful or two Of Grape
Nuts poured in, and such a combination
contains nourishment to carry one q
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 mocking 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 recommended by
two well-known physicians for my chill
dren, and feel especially grateful for
the benefit derived.
milk does not agree with either
child, so to the eldest, aged four and
one-half years, I gave Postum with
plenty Of sweet cream. It agrees with
her splendidly, regulating her bowels
perfectly although she is Of o constt-
pated habit. '..-~ 49,

Milking by Electricity.

An electric cow mixer is the latest
invention which is receiving attention
by State Dairy and Food commissioner
w. w. P. Mcconnell.
The apparatus is similar to the one
now in use in many parts OF Germany.
The machine has rubber hood (which
is attached to the udder Of the COW. A
rubber tube conveys the milk to a
large vessel and the air is removed
from the tube by a electrical device
and the action is similar to the suck
ing of a calf. Other tubes can be run
to different cows. The highest sue
cessful test that the machine has made
is on~twenty cows.

State Fair Figures.

The Minnesota State Fair association
closes its fiscal year, Dec 10, with a
profit on the years operations of near
ly $50, 1000. The annual report of the
association, which will be given out
soon, will show that the rainy weather
which prevailed during the week OF
the fair this year did not make much
over $4,000 difference between the
profits of 1903 and 1904 fairs.
The excellent showing made by the
fair association is matter of much
surprise to the public in general. 1t
was believed that the rains of fair
week would cut the profits down to q
small figure, and might even leave q
deficit on the years business.
Secretary E. w. Randall said that the
report of the years operations was now
nearly complete and tn at he believed
he was safe in saying the profits are
within @1o, 900 of those Of last year.

When the late Moses Handy was

never let slip an opportunity to
show the Europeans that America
was ahead in everything, including
all forms Of art. In one rhapsody
on American actresses he described
Clara Morris as an artist whose
power of pathos would make all

actress of the last generation has

They Worked PATHS Husband.

Baron Cederstrom, the husband

the wiles of some of the folks he
met in Pittsburg The baron is
somewhat fastidious as to the va
rious articles he uses, and his CT
gars are each reputed to cost 4o
cents wholesale The price may be
cent or two more or less, but the
aroma of the tobacco would indi-
cate that they are somewhat costly

ton among folks who have to de-
pend upon a weekly wage: An in
terviewer who was tackling the
Swedish nOblernan discovered from
him that the great songstress hat
ed cigarettes above everything else
not even excepting a small and
fTigid audience. He passed the
word around, and SO when a bunch
CT other callers met the baron they
were all smoking cigaretts. There
was only one way to abate this
nuisance, and so the baron had to
produce his cigar box. He never
suspected he was being worked, :
but the whole proceeding was little
better than a shell game Sc far as
he was concerned. Some OF these
cigars are still unsrnoked, being
