A NECESSARY EVIL.
Experience Of a Minister Who Tried
to Think That Of Coffee.

GA descendant of the Danes, a ma
ton of coffee drinkers, l used coffee
freely till I was 20 years old" writes
a clergyman from Iowa. AT that time
I was a student at a Biblical Institute,
and suddenly became aware OF the fact
that my nerves had become democrat
lied. my brain dull and sluggish and
that insomnia was fastening its hold
upon me.
81 was loath to believe that these
things came from the coffee | was
drinking, but at last was forced to that
conclusion, and quit 1t.
II was so accustomed to a hot table
beverage and felt the need of it SO
much. that after abstaining from cof-
fee for a time and recovering my
health, / went back to it. l did this
several. times, but always with disas-
trous results. I had about made up my
mind that coffee was a necessary evil.
About this time a friend told me
that / would find Postum Food Coffee
very fine and in many respects away
ahead OF coffee. So / bought some and,
making 1t very carefully according TO
the directions, we were delighted to
find that he had not exaggerated in the
least. From that day to this we have
liked it better than the old kind OF
coffee or anything else in the way of
a table drink.
"Its use gave me, in a very short
time, an increase in strength, clear
ness of brain and steadiness of nerves;
and sleep, restful and restoring. came
back to me.
81 am thankful that we heard OF
Postum, and shall be glad to testify
at any time to the good it has done
me-" Name given by Postum Co., Bat

AN INDIAN CHIEFS GRAFTON
General Pleasant Porter'S Talk on
the Progress of the Creek
Nation.

In the twilight of the tribal life of the
American aborigines stands the chief
of the Creeks, says the Muskogee q. I'd
Times. He is heard to utter the follow
ing Grafton. 1t will be read in the read
ing books of the youth of other Gen.
turtles. The Grafton is dignified, tran
quill, eloquent. There is hope in the
heart of the chief whose people dared
and forbore SO long in the unspOken cut
of the forest. Gen. Pleasant Porter
said:
'The vitality of our race still per-
sists. We have not lived for naught.
We are the original discoveries of this
continent and the c%onquerors of it from
the animal kingdom, and on from it
first taught the art of peace and war,
and first planted the institutions of
virtue, truth and liberty. The Euro
pean nation found us here and were
made aware that it was possible for men
to exist and subsist here. We have
given to the European people On this
continent our thought forces. ihe best
blood of our ancestors have been inter-
mingled with their best statesmen and
leading citizens. { We have ourselves an
indestructible element in their natural
history. We have shown what they
believe to be arid and desert places wera
habitable and capable of sustaining
millions of people. We have led the van
guard of civilization in our conflict
with them for tribal existence from
ocean to ocean,. The race that has rem.
mankind cannot perish utterly.
Though our tribal organization is
fading away, we will be transformed as
a potent factor, an element within the
body of Christian civilization. The phi
losophy of the history of the future shall
trace many of the principles of govern
ment and institutions SO dear to them
to those they found among us.
Now that we have demonstrated that
we have the ability to make for our
selves and our children homes. and hav-
ing sanction of every law, let us make
for ourselves this firm and fixed resolu.
luton. Let our every act speak it forth:
let the elements or forces Of nature
carry our resolutions to our fellow-men
the world over; let them in their senses
know and feel it and enter upon the
performance of our high mission.
MANY of you have accomplished II
already many have begun it; begin at
once and develop all your energies OF
soul, mind and body to the task set be-
fore us, even if it takes years-yes, a
lifetime to carry it out.
when we have thus resolved to
make for ourselves and our children
homes, we will have indited in and upon
ourselves a law for our guidance which
divine and human law will protect and
sustain us in its maintenance. No stat.
utory law will ever annul it, and we
shall then have risen to. the place of our
high destiny"

THE AUTO IN OLD MEXICO.
Cars Are Popular and Good Roads
Are Being Built for
Tourists.

The Mexican people have a passion
for riding and driving and it is not
remarkable, therefore, that the auto
mobile with it's many advantages and
merits to recommend it should have
charmed them from it's very introduce
ton into their country. Mexico with
its equable climate offers to the auto
mobilist an ideal condition in this re-
spect. And when to this is added good
roads and paved streets nothing more
could be desired in the way of natural
or artificial conditions.
An automobile club has been formed
in the City of Mexico, with a member
ship of 300 enthusiasts of different ma
tionalities, who are determined to
bring about a system Of good roade
The monthly automobile tax in che
City of Mexico is eight dollars each,
and the club above mentioned has in
duced the government to use the entire
receipts from this source in the i'm
provement of roads and ~driveways in
and about the capital city. President
Diaz is the possessor of q Pope-Toledo
~landaulette, which is often e about
the capital, and Thomas Moran, an
American banker, makes constant use
OF his car of the Same type.
One of the most interesting and pic
turasQue rides to be found in the
world is that from the capital to the
historic old city of Cuernavaca, just
over the mountains to the southwest.
1t was founded by Cortez and has ever
since been frequented by tourists as
well as residents of Mexican cities in
search of rest and health.

The Progressive Boy.

In 1874, Luther Latin Mills, of Chi
cago, the eloquent attorney, was
sitting in his Office. when a boy
entered and delivered the lawyer a
morning paper. There was nothing
unusual in this, because the same boy
had performed the same service for
months, in sunshine, slush and show
er. On this particular occasion the
boy loitered about the room, looking
at the law books and the wilderness
Of briefs. Then he turned rather alb
ruptly toward Mr.. Mills, and said: Il
would like to be a lawyer" Mr.. Mills
questioned him, and found him intel
ligent, earnest and plucky. He took
him in. The boy read, attended Of
flee duties, ran errands, went to lee
lures at the law school, and made him
self invaluable. At the expiration of
two years he was ready to push out
his own boat. He has been climbing
upstairs ever since. Recently his
voice was heard in one of the most
important cases that have been tried
in Cook county.

How a Stick Resting on Glasses May

and If 1t is then placed with its ia

struck on its center, it will break in

Then, if you like, after rinsing thorough.

with cold which acts as a tonic. Hot wa

A fruitful cause Of headaches is on
stipation. Unless the physical system
be regular and the body periodically
relieved of rubbish and debris, no one
can hope to be well. Girls sometimes
neglect this important rule of nature,
particularly il they are away from
home, or if they have not established
in themselves a definite and infiexible
order about the matter. One q never
neglect the p~eriodicity of nature. A
girl who would be both beautiful and
well must attend to the necessary
drainage of the body, in its every
form.
Still another caution may be par
doned by the ambitious girl who goes
to school, who wants to keep up with
her classes. aud who longs to take a
high rank in the studies she prefers.
