Enthusiasm In Life.

Enthusiasm in life is the great gen.
orator of sunshine. Without a living
interest in the busy world and that
sympathy Of feeling which connects US
with every other living being, we can
not infuse any warmth into our man.

with us, says the New Orleans Times.
nelen Keller, whose Sunshiny soul is
as sensitive to impressions as a deli
cate flower is to atmosphere, in her

1t is as natural for us to be attracted
toward sunshiny natures as it is for
flowers to turn toward the sun. In spite
of life of almost constant illness, Rob-
ert Louis Stevenson charmed all who
came under his influence by his spon-
taneous cheerfulness and absolute
freedom from all shadow Of bitter
ness or repining, comments Success.
He found the keynote of each day in
this simple prayer, born of his own.

DUST THE DEMON.
A TussIe with Coffee.

There is something fairly demoni-
acal in the way coffee sometimes
wreaks it's fendish malice Oh those
who use it.
A lady writing from California says:
My husband and l, both lovers OF
coffee, suffered for some time from a
very annoying form OF nervousness, ac-
companied by most frighteul head
aches. IN my own case there was
eventually developed some sort OF af-
lection Of the nerves leading from the
spine to the head.
Il was unable to hold my head up
straight, the tension of the nerves
drew it to one side, causing me tho
most intense pain. We got no relief
from medicine, and were puzzled as 20
what caused the trouble, till a friend
suggested that possibly the coffee we
drank had something to do with it,
and advised that we quit it and try
Postum Coffee
we followed his advice, and from
the day that we began to use Postum
we both began to improve. and in
very short time both of us were entire
ly relieved. The nerves became steady
once more, the headaches ceased, the
muscles in the back of my neck relax
ed, my head Strengthened up and the
dreadful pain that had so punished me-
while l used the old kind of coffee
vanished.
1--WE have never resumed the use OF
the old coffee, but relish our Postum
every day as well as we did the former
beverage. And we are delighted to
find that we can give it freely to our
children also, something we never
dared to do with the old kind Of cor

LIFE MEN OWN GUILT.
Equitable Directors Admit Some OF
hcials Violated Law by Deals.


Admitting that some of the officials
have been guilty of improper and illegal
acts, the Equitable Life Assurance So
ciety has joined with the State of New
York in asking for a full investigation
in court of its directors and officers, and
their alleged mismanagement of the
money of the society.
The document containing the admission
and request was the reply filed by the
forty-nine directors of the society to the
suit brought against it by the State. It
was filed with Attorney General Mayer.
Thirteen charges are answered by the
directors. They admit the loan of $780,
600 to the Depew Improvement Com
pany and $6S5,0O0 to the Mercantile
Trust Company, but waive responsibility
as far as the board as a whole is con-
cerned, indicating that Messrs. Alexan.
der, Jordan and Deming had the most
definite knowledge of these transactions.
The charge that excessive salaries
were paid to officers of the Equitable
is not directly answered, but admission
is made that under guise Of salaries ex.
cessive fees were given to certain Equit.
able officials who were also directors in
other companies. In defense the answer
states that these practices were not
known to the whole board of directors.
Outlining their belief as to the best
policy to pursue in fixing the blame for
the Equitable scandals, the directors say
first. that the blame for alleged cases Of
misconduct will be found to rest on indi
viduaI officers, and not upon the direc
tors as a body.
