CHILDREN AFFECTED.
BY Mothers Food and Drink.

BY Mothers Food and Drink.
Many babies have been launched into
life with constitutions weakened by
disease taken in with their mothers
milk. Mothers cannot be too careful
as to the food they use while nursing
their babes. The experience of a
Kansas City mother is a case In
point:
II was a great coffee drinker from
child. and thought could not eat
meal without It. But found at last II
was doing me harm. For years had
been troubled with dizziness, spots be-
fore my eyes and pain in my heart,
to which was added two years ago,
chronic sour stomach. The baby was
born 7 months ago, and almost from
the beginning, 1t. too, suffered from
sour stomach. She was taking 1t
from me!

Of more experience than mine. and
she told ma to quit coffee, that coffee
did not make good milk. I have since
ascertalned that 1t really dries up the

from the dizziness, blind spells, pain

Now we all drink Postum from my

baby. II has proved to be the best
hot drink we have ever used. We
would not give up Postum for the best
coffee We ever drank. Name given

Weight of a Dinner.

II has been seriously asserted by
many people that we are naturally
lighter after a meal, and they have
even gone the length Of explaining
this by the amount of gas that is de.
veloped from the food. Average OBJ
servations, however, show that we lose
pounds and G ounces between night
and morning; that we gain l pound II
ounces by breakfast; that we again
lose about IA ounces before lunch |;
that lunch puts on an average of l
pound; that we again lose during the
afternoon an average of 10 ounces, but
that an ordinary dinner to healthy
persons adds pounds 2 ounces tc
their weight.

How to Earn Sound sleep.

All doctors are not so careful of
the welfare of their patients as they
might be. Here is a story of one who
went to the limit. He is the proprie-
tor of famous health resort not far
from -. When he receives a pa
tient for treatment he says:
Now, want it understood that un-
less you do exactly as I say, there is
no use of your staying"
This rule sometimes requires him to
be very harsh, but he never hesitates.

The doctor looked him over upon his
arrival and said:
while you are here you must take
long walks every day."
But l can't take walks" replied
the parson. II haven't done any walk
ing for years. My heart won't stand
1t" .
They argued the question quite
warmly. AS the clergyman and doc
tor were good friends, the latter was
more lenient than usual. However,
he bided his time. The next after
noon the physician said to the clergy
man:
'Its nice day. would like you
to go horseback riding with me-"
Riding they went. When they were
about eight miles from the sanitarium
the physician said ooh, doctor, won't
you get me that flower by the road
side? don't like to leave this
hcrse."
AS soon as the clergyman was on
the ground the doctor galloped Off
with both horses, and the clergyman,
was compelled to walk back to the
sanitarium. Upon his arrived he was
very angry, and was for packing up
and leaving at once. There was no
train that night, so he was forced to-
stay few hours longer. The next
morning he came down radiant and

been having a medical examination OF
certain pupils before allowing them to
take part in certain athletic sports.
Boys and girls were subjected to the
same examination. Not one girl was
found unable to pass, while a large
number of the boys, In almost every
case smokers, were found to be in a
physical condition which made violent
exercise of any kind very dangerous.
Twenty-one out Of hundred were
found unfit, and all but three suffered

"Tut, tut, boy" replied Napoleon,

tapping the shoulder upon which one
Of his hands still rested, when you
have reached my years you will know
better than to waste time and
thoughts in useless regrets. Let the
past go, Jean, my lad, and look only
into the future"
The emperor resumed his seat, and
resting his hands upon the arms Of
the chair, stared straight before him,
while LATTE stood looking down at
the seated form.
"And may | not do something for

appeal

The emperor. as he spoke. leaned
forward in his chair; and there was a
caress in his smile and tone, as well
as in his touch upon Lafittes hand.

SOME FRANKS OF LIGHTNING.
Fantastic Tricks Played Upon Unfor.
tunate Victims.

Fantastic Tricks Played Upon Unfor.
tunate Victims.
One OF the fantastic tricks which
lightning plays upon its unfortunate
victims is a kind Of fiashlight pho
Biography. There are numerous in
stances of this which are more or less
authenticated, but they seem almost
too wonderful to be believed. One
OF these is of young man In New
Jersey who was struck by lightning
and was taken in an ambulance to the
hospital at once. There seemed to be
no wound except small mark on the
back, but while the doctors and
nurses we're examining him a picture
began to develop on the skin. Soon
before the wondering eyes OF the
watchers appeared a perfect picture
Of the figure of Christ nailed to the
cross. The explanation is that on the
wall opposite the bed on which the
young man lay was the picture which
was reproduced on his skin.
Another instance Is OF a man who
was struck by lightning. and on his
chest we're red marks resembling the
tree with all its branches under which
the man was standing when he was
killed. From France comes the story
Of a peasant girl who was driving a
COW from the pasture when she was
overtaken by a storm, and she and
the COW took refuge under the tree. A
bolt killed the COW and stunned the
girl. When she recovered conscious
ness she found on her chest a picture
OF the COW she had been driving.
The chatelaine Of the castle Of
Benatonnaire was sitting in a chair
in her salon when the chateau was
struck by lightning. She was quite
uninjured. but on the back Of her
dress was found a perfect copy OF the
chair on which she had been sitting.
down to its minutest ornament These
are a few Of the many strange pranks
which lightning plays upon us.
