as torpid liver and Indigestion, which

would beat most rapidly just after
drank my coffee, and go below normal
as the coffee effect wore Off Some
times my pulse would go as high as
1877 beats to the minute. My family
were greatly alarmed at my condition
and at last mother persuaded me TO
begin the use of Postum Food Coffee.
Il gave UP the old coffee entirely

sole table beverage. This was six
months ago, and all my ills, the indi-
gestion, inactive liver and rickety
heart action, have passed away, and
my complexion has become clear and
natural The Improvement set in

Contrary Human Nature.

An amusing bit of human nature
comes to light in Paris. The man.
asement of the underground railway
until recently provided at every sta.
ton a small box in an out-of-the-way
corner for passengers to deposit their
tickets in. AS a natural result of this
system, only one ticket in ten was de.
posted in the box; the rest fluttered
about at will all over the station. The
authoritits noted this, and changed
the small inaccessible box for large
one in a prominent position. The sur.
Lrising sequel was that instead of one
in ten, only one in a hundred tickets
found its way into the new box. The
easier it was to deposit the tickets the
more careless were the passengers in
disposing of them.
