The ideal FamiIyIaxat

is one that can be used by the entire family, young and old, weak and strong. without any danger of harmful effects. It should have properties which insure the same dose always having the same effect, otherwise the quantity will have to be increased and finally lose it's effect altogether. These properties can be found in that old family remedy, Brandreths Pills, be- cause its ingredients are of the purest herbal extracts, and every pill is kept for three years before being sold, which allows them to mellow We do not believe there is a laxative on the market that is so carefully made.
 Brandreth's Pills are the same fine laxative tonic pills your grandparents used. They have been in use for over a century and are for sale everywhere. either plain or sugar-coated.

The Zulu War Cry.

The Zulu war cry, used whenever they take the field by the South Afri- can footballers now in London, has puzzled our newspapers, not one of which seems able to spell it correctly, says Notes and Queries. The Daily Express gives it as 'Igamilzho," and the Daily Mail as "Gammillo." The cry really consists of two words, and should be written 'Igama layo." 'Igama" is Zulu for name" and "layo' is a possessive pronoun, mean ing either his" or their" Thus the Daily Mail, although quite wrong in it's orthography of the cry, is right in saying that it merely means That is his name" The explanation is that Zulu etiquette does not allow warriors. when they rush into battle, to men, tion the names of their enemies, but the leaders shout out, That is his name" pointing to the victims with their spears

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

It 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 ous effect of caffeine-the alkaloid in tea and eoffee-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 eondi- tions, and a large per cent. of the human family will shrug their shoul- ders, take the drugs and-keep on drinking coffee or tea.
 Coffee never agreed with me nor with several members of our house hold" writes lady. It enervates, de presses and creates a feeling of Ian 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, I 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. There's only one way-according to directions-boil it fully 15 minutes. Then it is delicious" Name<Nr-- by

''In their way" said the old fisher
man, fishes are not such bad weather
prophets. If storm IL approaching
the fish stop biting, and they won't bite
again until the storm Is we'll over.
They appear to know when a storm IL
coming and when it has really passed.
And to fishermen and farmers living
along the shore fish foretell the near
approach Of cold weather. Hours be-
fore it comes fishes leave the shallow
waters inshore and seek deeper water,
which in its depths will stay warm aud
keep an equable temperature after the
shallower and surface waters have
turned cold. Oh, yes. fishes know
thing or two about the weather" -
