SAVE THE RICE
FOR PUDDINGS
Pennsy Won't Have Any More
of 1t Wasted Down Married
Couples Backs

when brides and grooms leave the fine
new French street station OF the p, B
and w. Railroad hereafter they may start
on their honeymoons without rice tickling
their s9lnes.
The company has issued an edict which
makes that sort OF a send on bad form
and the rule will be politely. Il not rigid
" enforced. It was partly because OF the
dirt about the station and partly because
too often other patrons Of the road got
the nee in the eye that this token Of Joy.
BUSINESS was "cut out" Il wasn't bad SO
long as the men In the bridal party slung
the rice They could usually hit the mark;
but the women had way Of throwing Il
wildly that hit everything but the shiver
ing targets.
Shoes. too. are on the blacklist al.
though the railroad people did not mind
them as much as the rice Sometimes an
unusually brilliant joker produces a No
shoe with a half-inch sole, the entire
shoe Weighing about six pounds, and
throws that instead Of the dainty satin
slipper that is usually used as the luck
carrying proiectne. Not long ago one OF
these shoes hit the window of a Pullman
car and though the window was not
I broken it was just enough t put shoes OF
the forbidden list.

He Didn't Look Honest.

DO women trust implicitly in the
courtesy of men? Apparently not in
all circumstances, as was brought
rather painfully to one mild-mannered
man in an elevated car recently, says
the New York Sun.
The man was standing holding on by
a strap in front OF woman sitting,
while directly back Of him on the oppo-
site side of the car was another woman
standing.
When presently the train drew near
to the station at which as it now op-
peared, the woman sitting, in front Of
whom the -mannered man was
standing, intended to get OF, she
reached forward and around the mild
hammered man to the woman standing
back of him. to indicate TO her that
here was a seat she could have And
she didn't rise from her seat to do this:
she didn't give the man any chance
whatever 20 seize It, not the slightest; ;
but still keeping 4 she reached for
ward and around him and touched the
other lady. and then kept the seat until
the other woman was where she could
be sure OF II.
All Of which gave the nild-mannered
man quite a shock.

Lemon Berry New Toilet Aid.

From a friend in far Brazil Mrs.
Van Rensselaer, Kennedy recently re-
ceived specimens Of a vegetable freak
new even to most parts of South
America, yet which in a few years may
be one Of this country's imports. The
freak is called the lemon berry, though
one never would guess it on first ac-
quaintance. In appearance. it is much
like the coffee berry, though softer. but
there the resemblance ceases. Despite
its looks. the strange berry. in other
respects, has all the characteristics OF
"a miniature temon. Its juice is extreme
ly acid, and can be used, 1t is said.
in making lemonade, though the taste
is too sour for any palate save the
Russian. That, however is not its chief
value It is as an addition to the mani
cure set that the lemon berry is consi-
dered likely to become popular in the
fashionable world. A touch of the acid
instantly whitens the skin, removing
stains from finger nails as we'll as flesh.
Yet the acid. sharp as It Is and swift as
is its work, is asserted by Brazilian
physicians to be absolutely harmless.
1t viii take the color out of almost
any fabric instantly, but it does not
damage the most delicate cuticle nor
does it make the nails brittle in the
slightest degree. Mrs. Kennedy, not
being a pioneer by instinct, and also
not requiring any beauty patching, has
not experimented with the specimens
forwarded TO her. But several Of her
women friends are eager for chance
to do so. and truly plaintive have beer
the appeals made to her for few OF
THE berries and for information as Il
the best way OF obtaining a further
supply.

SURE
Fresh Air and Postum a Health combi-
nation Hard to Beat.

-Four years ago. writes a Vermont
lady. Il was a victim OF indigestion.
Everything 1 ate distressed me-gave me
nausea and formed gas in my stomach
which was very annoying.
Il had palpitatlon so bad could not
lie on my left side, and began to think
my heart must be affected. I had used
coffee for 25 years, and thought it would
be impossible to give 1t up, as I usually
had nothing for breakfast but a roll and a
cup Of coffee.
MY indigestion grew worse. In spite OF
doctoring and I felt Obliged TO try some
thing else. / drank chocolate and cocoa
but soon tired Of them.
THE doctor had ordered my husband to
stop drinking coffee on account OF heart
trouble so he was using Postum and
wanted me to try that. 1 took one cup Of
il as our servant prepared it, and thought
II was wretched stuff.
Il was getting desperate when the cook
left me and had to make Postum for my
husband. Then it was that I studied the
directions on the package and wondered
If the girl had been boiling it long enough
Il cooked It fully 20 minutes and was
surprised to find it most palatable.
found that rich cream improved 1t as much
as It did coffee. I also learned that Pos.
tum tasted better, and it was easier tc
prepare it the night before.
Il put two heaplng tablespoonfuls int1
square Of cheese cloth, tied il tightly
dropped it into clean coffee pot, poured
over 1t three cupfuls Of cold water and
let II stand covered until morning.
Then Il was boiled thirty minutes. an,
we had two large cups OF a delicious
drink, after cream and sugar had beer
added. II has a rich delicious favour o
its own and we have used nothing else fo
four years
Postum and Fresh Air have cured u
Of dyspepsia and seeming heart trouble
ana we have taken a new lease Of life.'

KORAN BEATS PINARD. ~
Southington Wizard Trims Meriden's
 Champion.

The first pool match of the season was played at Campbell's in Hart ford last night and William Horan of Southington, the winner of the championship two years ago, defeat ed Tony Pinard of Meriden. who came near being the runner-up last winter. The game brought out large crowd of poolphiends. who ap- plauded the numerous fine plays made. The Southington wizard was in great form ana his years retire ment from the game did him a world of good. for he clicked off two runs of fifteen and four of fourteen. Pinard made one of fifteen and two of thirteen.
 The game v.s late in starting as Pinard missed his train and it had to be called shortly before 10 o'clock as the MeridCn man was obliged to catch the steamboat flyer for his home on account of sickness in his family. The final score was 13z to 90 in Horan's favor. William Gam merdinger was referee and marker.
 Both Horan and Pinard notified Manager James Campbell, Jr, that they would enter the New England tournament which will begin on No Iember l. It is expected that W5lter Johnson will represent New Britain in the tournament Bob Stone of Waterbury now holds the gold medal emblematic of Ire championship.
