A NECESSARY EVIL
Experience of a Minister Who Tried

Experience of Minister Who Tried
to Think That of Coffee.
"A descendant of the Danes, a ma
ton OF coffee drinkers, | used coffee
freely till l was 20 years DID," writes
a clergyman from Iowa. AT that time
l was a student at a Biblical Institute,
and suddenly became aware of the
fact that my nerves had become de-
moralized, my brain dull and sluggish
and that insomnia was fastening it's
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 it.
Il was SO accustomed to a hot table
beverage and felt the need of it so
much, that after abstainfng from cof-
fee for a time and recovering my
health. I went back to it. l did this
several times. but always with dfsas-
trous results. l had about made up
my mind that coffee was necessary
evil.
About this time friend told me
that I would find Postum Food Cof-
fee very fine and in many respects
away ahead of coffee. So I bought
some and, making it very carefully
according to the directions, we were
delighted to find that he had not ex.
aggerated 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. restfuI and restor-
ing. came back to me-

Postum and shall be glad to testify at
any time to the good 1t has done me"

The News paper.

The following excellent essay on THE
Newspaper" is from the pen of small
boy in a neighboring town:
Newspapers are sheets of paper on
which stuff to read is printed. The
men look over the paper to see if their
names is in it, and the women use 1t to
put on shelves and sich. Don't know
how newspapers came into the world; |
don't think God does. The bible says
nothing about editors and | never heard
of one being in heaven. 1t is said that
an editor once tried 60 get into the other
place but Satan told BIN that hades was
full of fellows who had never paid for
their papers and the editors, if admitted
would be kicking up such fuss with
the delinquents that the devil himself
couldn't stand the racket. l guess ed
itors is the missing LAX them fellers
talk about. The first editor | ever heard
of was the fellow who wrote up the flood.
He has been here ever since. Some ed
itors belong to the church and some of
them try to raise whiskers. All of them
raise hell in their neghborhood and all
are liars, at least all | know are and |
only know one. Editors never die. At
least l never saw dead one. Editors
never went to school because editors
never get licked. Our paper is a mighty
poor one, but we take it so Ma can use
it on her pantry shelves. Our editor
don't amount to much but Pa says he
had poor chance when be was boy.
He goes without underclose in the win
ter and never wears sox. Pa hasn't paid
his subscription in five years and don't
intend to.-Hartford Alliance.

No matter what the general magni.
tude of a business may be, it is well
worth the while to look out for its
minor affairs. This may be an age
of large things in general, but 1t is,
after all, from the handling of smaller
deals that the greatest profits are de-
rived. Small leakages are sure to slip
by unnoticed unless the business is so
organized that every detail, no matter
Of how little apparent significance,
can be properly checked.

THE oCCIDENT.
Once upon time, and not very long
ago either, there lived man in the city
of Philadelphia worth ten millions of
dollars. Now this man knew that ten
millions of dollars was heap, vast
heap. more than one fellow could reason
ably spend on himself, therefore he be-
gan to cast about and see what could be
done with this ten millions in a sensible,
helpful way al least.
So one day there appeared in all the
leading dailes of the East this adver-
tisement:
Five million dollars paid to any per
son who will print, paint or stamp on
the face of the moon these letters
in gold, viz: r. q. & A. /.
Apply at this Office"
That certainly was unusual And
when this mans friends heard OF il, and
discovered that he meant what he said,
they thought, and did hardly hesitate to
say that John certainly was getting
queer" so Ridiculous" etc
So one day friend called upon this
ten million dollar man to find out, il
possible, what was the secret of it all
Being ushered into the library by the
door attendant he found he would have
to wait several minutes ere his host APP
peared. CHANGING around the room he
found the shelves filled with choice read
ing and stamped on every book ir clear
cut letters of gold were these same let
tiers, +. G. & A, /, OF course be became
more interested and thoughtful. Pres
emily his host appeared. The prelimi-
naries over he ventured to ask-if he
dare-the object of the advertisement,
and what it all meant, anyhow.
Very graciously and kindly the multi
millionaire began to explain that bis
great desire was to make people think.
"If YOU can only get folks to think prop
erly, to cultivate more common sense
The great need of every age is men who
can think in order to manage, direct,
accrue and bless mankind, ETC.
And what about the f. G.. q Al?
90, Just simply this: If that could be
placed on the face of the moon, why
then, everybody would see it, sure to
see it and ask what it meant, any how :"
And that's exactly what he wanted, this
man with the ten million dollars. And
to bring this about he would give abso
lutely away one. half his fortune, rather
do that dozen times than give it to
some worthless, bad, prohigate Eur opean
with an empty title and head, his daugh-
ter, poodles thrown in free.
And what does f. g. & A. I. mean?"
Find Good and Advertise It,
Getting any good out of life? No?
Well then-sorry to say it-but you are
about nothing. Everything Is about
you. f. g., and don't forget the advice
of the last two letters-A. Advertise
it.

thing ever made in talking things down?

HE ORIENT.

Once upon time there lived 10 one
of the isles of Greece, a grand, good old
king. He was exceedingly devoted to
his people and his people fairly worship
ed him. But he was getting very old and
feeble.
He realized that soon he was to 90
hence-very soon. So he called about
him all his wise men, his philosophers,
soothsayers, astrologers and statesmen
They were told that soon their king
would take journey into far country
and never more return.
The great desire of the king was to
see the kir gdom continued, the people
happy and blest. But this involved the
character of the future king, there being
no living relatives of the good old king,
who was soon to depart forever. 1t be-
came the duty of all these wise men to
find the right one to take his place.
So the wise men all went out together
under the midnight skies, and not know
ing any better way they asked the stars
or the heavens where could they find the
new king? And the stars answered and
said:
"Go find man the animals follow,
the sun serves, the waters obey, and all
men love-"
So the wise men divided themselves
into groups of four, going east, west,
north and south some to the cities, some
to the plains, some to the mountains,
some to the great waters. One group
climbed into great desolate mountain,
and while there became lost and separat-
ed by reason of a cold, binding snow
storm. And one of this company, after
vain effort to find his way, sat down in
despair looking off into the distance.
Sitting there, hopeless, he thought he
saw in the dim distance light. 1t was
his only hope He rose and followed.
After a long while, with bruised feet
and numbing hands, hungry, and half
dead, he found himself in front of a
rude maintain cabin, and on its door he
knocked. There came, in answer to his
rap, man Just entering full life, plain
mountain man.
Could he, the stranger, come inY He
