HARD TO SEE.
Even When the Facts About Coffee
Are Plain.

1t Is curious how people will refuse
to believe what one can clearly see.
Tell the average man or woman
that the slow but cumulative poison
Gus effect of caffeine-the alkaloid in
tea and coffee-tends to weaken the
heart, upset the nervous system and
cause indigestion, and they may laugh
at you if they don't know the facts.
Prove it by science or by practical
demonstration in the recovery of cof-
fee drinkers from the above condi-
tions, and a large per cent. of the
human family will shrug their Shout
ders, take the drugs and-keep on
drinking coffee or tea.
Coffee never agreed with me nor
with several members of our house

presses and creates feeling of lam
guor and heaviness. It was only by
leaving off coffee and using Postum
that we discovered the cause and cure
of these ills.
The only reason, / am sure, why
Postum is not used altogether to the
exclusion of ordinary coffee is, many
persons do not know and do not seem
willing to learn the facts and how to
prepare this nutritious beverage.

directions-boil it fully is minutes.

cdlleQ out. lou re Wduleu, rlyuu
Policeman Flynn hastily caught up
his helmet and departed.
AS they hurried along it was ex-
planned to the policeman that things
were in bad way at Flaherty's. The
oldest boy had hurt himself, and the
neighborhood doctor who had been
called in wanted him sent to the hos.
pital. 1t was clearly the proper thing
to do, but Mrs. Flaherty would not
hear of it. She was going to have
her boy with her at all hazards.
when Bill sees how things are
now" she said pathetically in answer
to Policeman Flynn's arguments, Il
know he'll be good to us. He used to
be good man before before"
81 know" broke in Policeman
Flynn. He'll be good-maybe," and
then he added under his breath,
"whin he's in his grave or tn polls
station. l know him."
But the woman won her point.
Even reason and sense must give way
before the assaults Of mother plead
ing for her child, and the doctor
eased his conscience with the thought
that it was not a very serious case,
and the boy probably would Come out
all right anyway. He knew that she
was unwise, but love and wisdom do
not often go hand in hand.
But she must have assistance" he
said. There is practically nothing
in the house, and she has no money.
I'll report the case to the relief au.
thorities at once"
Others who had gathered expressed
approval of this decision, and then
left, feeling that the fact that the
matter was to be put in the hands OF
the proper officers relieved them of
responsibility. But Policeman Flynn
was not satisfied. His was a prac-
tical mind, and he wanted to do some
thing.
"I'll r-run ye-er ma-an in fr ye, SOS
to keep him out iv tn wa-ay," he sug-
gested in the goodness of his heart.
IF you do" she returned, "Pll
scratch your eyes out"
LUX at that, now!" he commented
to himself. as he finally started for
home. "She do be an onthankful
woman, an wan without sinse. She
sh'u'd be ma-ade to Fave that good
f'r-nothin' ma-an an sind tn bye to

is to be firm an hazard; but" ne
added, with a shake Of his head, how
ca-an yep
He was still soliloquizing in this
strain when he reached home and was
called upon to tell his wife all that
had happened. When he had finished
she suddenly asked: where's ye-er
sal'ry, Barney?"
He passed her some money, which
she carefully counted.
"They's tin dollars missin'," she
apparently deep in a reverie.
THAT fool Nv a woman" he NUT
tered half to himself.
I'm not ta-alkin' iv tn woman, but

"'T is all tn sa-ame," returned Po-
liceman Flynn. She do be fool iv

thoughtfully-"we like thin that

carefully in luke warm water, with
pure white or CASTLE soap, rinse them
in clear, cool water, and, after wiring

ent. Princess Eitel was amiable and
Emperor William jolly and compli-
mentary to America and Americans.

ter deck of the Hamburg to witness
the illuminations. The club house, the
hotel and other buildings were out
lined in electric lights and the 16 bat

ships and 100 yachts in the harbor
were strung with lncandescent globes,
while many searchlights playing about
made gorgeous scene. Just above
the room in the hotel occupied by Mr..
and Mrs. Longworth were the stars
and stripes in colored lights. A great
assemblage from Kiel and neighboring
towns crowded the water front to wit
ness the illumination. The illumna-
tion ended with every warshlp send
ing up blazing rockets.

President Roosevelt, discussing the
proposed appropriation OF $4,000 a

feel however, that 1t was quite just
that he should have to pay also the
expenses of the government employees
who accompanied him on those trips
for tho purpose of transacting the bust'
ness of the government
The senate took a position in ac-
cord with the president and the house
of representatives by declaring Tor u
lock canal across the Isthmus of Pana-
ma by a vote of 36 to 81. The vote
is generally accepted as ending a long
contest and definitely settling the type
of the great waterway Senator Dick

the measure. The president expressed
great qualification at the action of the
house and senate and regards their ac-
tion as vote of confidence. The pres

Washington, June 25.-President
Roosevelt is going to Panama next
November, and if, as the result of his
visit, swift progress is not made in
the construction of the canal, there
will be some quiet changes in the per.

is being built, will accompany him.
Many people doubtless will gasp
when they read this news, but to those
who know how full OF surprises the
president is it will not be such Sc
we're mental jolt. The president wants
the canal built as rapidly as possible.
lie has never been TO the lsthmus, and
consequently has no personal knowl.

the immense force is working. There

him to make up his mind to 90 down
