Sung to Sleep by Coffee.

The fearful work coffee has done for
me is difficult to describe.
Il had no idea how weakened one can
become from the breaking down effect
Of Coffee on the nerves
when that has gone on long enough
most anything may set in. I had three
attacks of pneumonia and became a
chronic invalid. / had no idea that cof-
fee had put me in my deplorable condi-
ton. Well, I finally went to Colorado
on advice. and found a nice place to
board with a family, The man of the
house had just returned from a sojourn
in California whittier he had gone for
heart trouble but the doctor out there
discovered his weak heart was caused
by coffee. took it away and gave him
Postum. His trouble was quickly dis
missed and he came home a well man.
He suggested that probably it was cof-
fee that affected me. I laughed him to
scorn, nevertheless I began gingerly on
Postum and found it so rich, and with
a nice coffee snap that liked 1t i'm
mensely.
From the beginning the Postum
Coffee had a beneficial effect on me. I
improved in every way, my sleep came
back healthy and refreshing, and in a
few weeks went home we'll woman,
as am to this day. I still use Postum
of course. and will never return to the
old kind. w ~. "
Noting the good effects of Postum

who was very delicate and frequently
i'll form complication of diseases con-
nected with the liver. Well, my people
tried it, but were disguised with it
they didn't make it right. They said it
was impossible for them to drink it,
and my daughter rebelled and cried for
the old kind of coffee. When I came
home ] changed all that by making it
right-allowing it to boil for 20 minutes
after it first came to a boil, and serving
it with cream. The child relished it at
once and benefited from the first

she began to develop and was enabled
to go to school much more regularly.
ut was year after I began to use
Postum before my husband would use
it. He preferred to carry a small bottle
of pepsin, and every time he drank cof-
fee would take a dose of pepsin to
overcome the sour stomach produced by
the coffee, He held out for year, but
of course got worse and finally got tc

RICHARD MANSFIELD TONIGHT
IN THE MERCHANT OF.
VENICE E5

IN THE MERCHANT OF.
VENICE s5
One Of the few really great events in
local dramatic history will be Richard
Mansfield's appearance in the role OF
Shylock in his notable production of
Shakespeare comedy "The Merchant
of Venice" His appearance in this
character has drawn to his art the
ffeartiest applause of his career. The
dean of American critics is William
Winter and this testimony of his on
Mansfields Shyloek is a tonce interest
ing, informing and valuable: I'm Rich
ard Mansfield's Shylock the ideal of
Macklin--the first great Shylock of the
British stage-reappears somewhat
modified, but not substantially changed.
That ideal crystalizes Unto a terrible
image of nlalign physical vitality the
attributes of ferocious hatred and
bloodthirsty malice, these being, for a
time yelled under a specious guise OF
humble subservience and shrewd and
rather CHASTITY humor, but presently let
loose in frenzy of exultant cruelty and
murderols passion. Now, as on all pre-
vious occasions, Mr.. Mansfield's express
sion of this ideal is replete with fiery
energy and splendid eloquence, nervous
force, tremendous tumult of passion
and great vocal power. His delivery OF
the reply to Antonio is memorably felic
thousand this, surely, is one of the
great illurainative passages of Shake
spears text. Here, for a moment, the

In the new Schubert production. THE
Earl and the Girl" which will be seen
at the Hyperion theater, May 10, II, p
and 1S, are probably more dances of
varied descriptions than have appeared
in any musical production in recent
years. There are nineteen distinct and
separate forms of the ~terpsichorean
art, and each one contains not less than
seven different steps; the smallest num-
Der of people engaging in any one
dance being twelve, while in the Gren-

The Tools of Genius.

Some of the greatest discoveries III
physics and chemistry have been made
with the simplest forms of apparatus

Of laboratory equipment. One need cnly
recall the achievements Of the famous
John Dalton and in later time of Sir
Gabriel Stokes to illustrate the point.
As regards the latter, comment Of
Lord Rayleigh is Of interest. Stokes
experimental work, he says, was exc

Even the clowns look little bit seri-

that is only because the black lines

what wilderness of fun making peo-

the Bumpkin, the Loon, the Harlequin,
the Grimacer, the Merry Andrew, the
Austrian LOBBY, the Zany, the Pierrot,
the Punch, the Motley Fool and finally
the German Broad Face, whose name
Is Paddy Burke! One of the clowns
was sitting on his trunk in the dress
ing room licking stick of black paint
and rubbing it on his cheeks so as to
make most funereal expression. The
small boy asked him what kind of a
clown he was. He said that he was
just "Funny Friskey," and he got his
visiting card out of his trunk. 1t read,

and it had a heavy gold rim, which
made it very imposing. In the four
corners it said Europe and Asia and
Africa and America, which showed
that H. Friskey's fame had reached

never could believe that man with

funny or frisky.-Metropolitan Maga-
