IN TOWN
Things Happen.

From the home Of the famous "Keyb-
mel Keeyartah, of CarterSviIle." away
down South, comes IN enthusiastic let
ter about Postum.
81 was in very delicate health. suf-
feriug from indigestion and j nervous
trouble 50 severe that l could hardly
sleep. The doctor ordered me to dis
continue the use Of the old kind Of cof-
fee, which was like poison to me, pro-
ducing such extreme disturbance that
l could not control myself. But such
was my love for it that / could not get
my W consent to give it up for some
time, and continued to suffer till my
father one day brought home i pack
age Of Postum Food Coffee.
II had the new food drink carefully
prepared according to directions, and
gave it a fair trial. 1t proved TO have
q rich flavor and made Il healthy,
wholesome and delightful drink. TO
my taste the addition of cream greatly
improves it.
MY health began to improve rs soon
rs the drug effect Of the old coffee was
removed and the Postum Coffee had
time to make its influence felt. My
nervous troubles were speedily relieved
and the sleep which the old coffee
drove from my pillow always came to
soothe and strengthen Inc after | had
drunk postum-in a very short time
began to sleep better than l had for
years before. l have now used Postum
Coffee for several years and like it bet
ter and find it more beneficial than
when | first began. 1t is an unspeak-
able joy to be relieved of the old dis
tress and sickness" Name given by

lay my hands on large quantities of

the proprietor as cheerfully as l could.

The Reyival's Start.

Mr.. W. T. Stead records that the cut
break of the great revival in Wales is
traced to the trembling utterance Of a
poor girl, who, at a meeting in a Cardi.
gan village, was the first to rise and
testify. IF no one else will" were her
simple words, then I must say that
I love the Lord Jesus Christ with all
my heart" Says Nh. Stead: The
pathos and the passion of the avowai
acted like an electric shock upon the
congregation. One after another rose
and made the full surrender, and the
news spread like wildfire from place to
place that the revival had broken out,
and that souls were being ingathered
to the Lord"

Lived Without q Head.

A headless snapper, caught near
Ferndale, Chester County, has raised
q question among the people of that
section as to how long a turtle can live
without a head in it's native element,
and the question is being debated at
every meeting of the fishermen.
According to a resident and q fisher
mar of the locality, the turtle had been
seen in the dam for at least three years
after it had lost it's head. The neck
showed that the wound had long been
healed.-West Chester correspondence

Some idea of the severity of the winter
season just drawing to close may be gath
cred from the fact that the Navy Depart
ment is now confronted with the necessity
of seeking out and promptly destroying no
less than twenty-seyen ocean derelicts
which are lying In the great ocean lanes
from Santiago to Newfoundland and en-
dangering shipping entering and depart
ing from out Atlantic ports. The presence
of these floating wrecks has been reported
to the photographic Office by incoming ves-
sells. Heretofore the Navy Department,
upon being informed of the presence off the
coast of dangerous derelict, has dis
patched gunboat or torpedo boat when
one could be spared, to seek it out and sink
it, but vessels were not always available for
that service, and, after all. some degree of
skill and practice was required to success
fully dispose of the derelicts. The last Con-
gress, therefore, provided that one or more
vessels should be set apart for that service,
3,OO0-ton collier will be specially fitted out
for this work at the Portsmouth IN. HI
navy yard. Some years ago, in the early
days of the new navy, the captain of the
then new cruiser San Francisco sought to
test the strength of modern naval construc-
ton by running down one of these dere-
licts. The derelict was filed with lumber,
and. while the swift cruiser cut her in half,
the shock was great that the experiment
will never be repeated.

AN EASY WAY

Il is easy to keep well If we would only observe
each day few simple rules of health
The all-important thing is to keep the stomach
right and to do this it is not necessary to diet or
to follow set rule Or bill Of fare. Such pamper-
ing simply makes caprieious appetite and a feel

avoided

subject. He says: Il am 6S years old and haya

could be economically and wisely used.
The question of placing the building upon
government reservation was thoroughly
discussed, and the general committee was
unanimous in believing that the building
should be located upon ground purchased
for the purpose rather than placed upon a
government reservation, where all manner
of restrictions would be placed upon 1t by
Congress- The opinion was also generally
expressed that the best method of financing
the project would be to offer stock in the
building to the public.
Several of the members of the committee
stated that to their knowledge national
conventions of trade and other organiza-
tions had remained away from Washing
ton because ther. was no suitable place for
their assembly, and especially no hall suit

Pastor L. NJ. Roper. OF the First
BAPTIST church. OF Spartanburg. at
the morning hour of worship Sunday,
announced 10 his congregation that
he had an innovation to suggest-tha It
a: the evening services the ladies
should appear without their hats or
bonnets. Frequently, as he stated, an
attractive bonnet creation had the
faces of interested spectators from
the minister, and that as this custom
had been introduced at the leading
Methodist church of Canton. o., and
worked satisfactorily. it would not be
a departure from all standards. The
suggestion was acted on at the even
ing hour of worship Sunday, and one
OF the largest congregations assem-.
bled at the church. the women folks
not wearing their hats. The effect
seems pleasing and there is no oppo-
s;.ion. and it is safe to surmlse that
the innovation will become custom.
