TO PRETEN DERS.
A Wholesome Word for Guidance.

Just word to you, Golfers and
other glazing examples of Modern
Yellow Journalism and Cigarettes.
Environment gives you a viewpoint
from which it is difficult to under
stand that some people even nova
days act from motives Of old fashion
ed honesty.
There are honest makers of foods
and healthful beverages and there are
honest people who use them.
Perhaps you are trained to believe
there is no honesty in this world.
There is, although you may not be
of a kind to understand it.
Some of you have been trained in a
sorry class of pretenders, but your
training does not faint the old fashion
ed person trained without knowledge
Of pretense and deceit.
These letters came to us absolutely
without solicitation. We have a great
many thousand from people who have
been helped or entirely healed by fol-
lowing the suggestions to quit the
food or drink which may be causing
the physical complaints and change
to Postum Coffee or Grape-Nuts food.
You are not intelligent enough to
know the technical reasons why the
change makes a change in the cells
of the body. Your knowledge, or lack
of knowledge, makes not the slightest
difference in the facts.
You can print from old and worn
plates all the cheap books your
presses will produce and sell them as
best you can but such acts and your
Learned" editorials are but CONNER
cial, and seek only dollars" and much
by pretence.
When you branch out into food
values you become only ridiculous.
Stick to what you know. The field
may be small but it is safe.
This first letter is from the Presl-
dent of the Christian Nation, a
worthy Christian paper of New York.

Facts to ascertain when meeting an
attractive young woman with whom
you may fall in love:
Is she selfish? You can tell this in
three ways: by the manner In which

and by the difference between the way

Maine Woman Has Pet Deer,

Mrs Nellie Smith, of Sebec. Me, has tame deer which is nearly two years old now, but which she has raised like a cosset lamb, feeding it from a bottle at first and making a great pet of it. It was given to her by lumberman, who overlook it in the deep snow and caught it in his arms when 1t was no larger than a cat, except for its legs. It has always been perfectly tame and domesticated, never having known anything of the wild life of it's kind, but runs about the premises unrestrained, having it's place in the stable on cold nights. The deer are numerous around Sebec, and it is a question whether, as Mrs. Smiths pet grows older, it will not answer to the call of the wild" and join its comrades in the forest

LENDlD APRIL TONIC.
Easily Prepared at Home and Harm
 less to Use.

This Is known as "Blood-Cleaning Time" especially among the older folks. who always take something dur ing this month to clean the blood of impurities and build it up.
 The following is the recipe as given by a well-known authority, and any one can prepare it at home:
 Fluid Extract Dandelion one-half ounce, Compound Kargon one ounce, Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla three ounces.
 Get these simple ingredients from any good pharmacy and mix by shak- ing we'll in a bottle. The dose is one teaspoonful after meals and at bed time.
 Everybody should take something to help the blood, which becomes impoy- erished and almost sour after the win ter season, especially those who are subject to Rheumatism, Catarrh, Kid ney and Bladder trouble.
 It is said that one weeks use of this mixture will clear the skin of sores, pimples or boils.
 This is sound, healthy advice, which will be appreciated by many readers.

ILL FROM OVERWORK
NERVOUS REGISTRATION CURED BY DR. WILLIAMS PINK PILLS.
By Toning up the Blood and Nerves Pa tisnt Recovered Weight, Strength
 and Good Spirits.

When the nervous system is broken down from Overwork, or whatever cause, \ life loses its joys. Not only is the ner- vous victim sufferer himself but he is usually a trial to the whole family. Nervous breakdown is often gradual, appearing at first to be merely an unu- sual fretfulness. pr. Williams Pink Pills tone up the nerves in the most direct way and not only cure minor troubles but serious disorders as well.
 MT. W. W. Munroe, of 16 Hazel Park, Everett, Mass, says: About four years ago this September I became all run down from overwork and from confne- ment to work during warm weather. For two months I grew steadily worse. lost in weight and strength and had no appetite. My memory failed me quite rapidly and I became in a very low state, both physically and mentally. I took no interest in life, neither in busi- ness nor recreation. In my position, as foreman in large manufacturing chemists establishment in Boston, 8 good memory is absolutely essential to success because of the immense amount of detail that must be carried ill the head.
 ''I grew very despairing, could not bear to have people meet me and my 1TleuuS To1lldTkeQ Ou Iuy COuu1llOu. About the middle of December friend told me one day that he had tried Dr. Williams Pink Pills and found them reliable. I commenced taking them and at the end of two weeks the change for the better was remarked by friends. I continued using the pills until was thoroughly recovered. Iregard them as fine remedy and make this statement voluntarily in gratitude for the benefit received from them"
 These pills actually make new blood and have cured such diseases as rheu- matism, nervous and general debility, indigestion, nervous headache, neuralgia and even partial paralysis and locomotor ataxia. As tonic for the blood and nerves they are unequalled.
 If you are sufferer from any disor- der of the blood and nerves write for proof of what Dr. Williams Pink Pills have accomplished in cases similar to yours. Every testimonial used by this company is carefully investigated before being published and is authentic.
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills are sold by all druggists, or direct by mail, postpaid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box, six boxes for S2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y.

ROMANTIC DEVONSHIRE.
The Land Made Famous by PhiIpotts'
 Novels.

Philpotts has made us familiar with romantic Devonshire, in his fascinating novels, The River" Children of the Mist" etc. The characters are very human; the people there drink coffee with the same results as elsewhere. A writer at Rock House, Orchard Hill, Bideford, North Devon, states:
 For 30 years I drank coffee for breakfast and dinner but some 5 years ago I found that it was producing indi- gestion and heartburn, and was mak- ing me restless at night. These symp- toms were followed by brain flag and a sluggish mental condition.
 When I realized this, made up my mind to quit drinking coffee and having read of Postum, I concluded to try it. I had it carefully made, accord ing to directions, and found to my agreeable surprise at the end of a | week, that 1 no longer suffered from either indigestion, heartburn, or brain flag, and that I could drink it at night and secure restful and refreshing sleep.
 SiUCe ludL tune we nave euIlISly discontinued the use of the old kind of coffee, growing fonder and fonder of Postum as time goes on. My digestive organs certainly do their work much better now than before, result due to Postum Food Coffee, I am satisfied
 "As table beverage we find (for all the members of my family use iD that when properly made it is most refresh ing and agreeable, of delicious flavor and aroma. Vigilance is, however necessary to secure this, for unless the servants are watched they are likely to neglect the thorough boiling which l it must have in order to extract the goodness from the cereal" Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich Read the little book, "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs.

A trip into the Dismal Swamp is one of the attractions offered by the Jamestown exhibition. A steamboat route has been opened up through the 1000 square miles involved, which, moreover, are said not to be so dis nal as their name indicates. The Dismal Swamp was once the hiding place of runaway slaves. The swamp itself was not terrible to them. It seemed almost heavenly if they could succeed in reaching it. The dismal part was their flight across the south ern states.
