COSTLY PRESSURE.
Hear. and Nerves Fail on Coffee.

A resident of n great western state
puts the case regarding stimulauts
with comprehensive brevity that IS
ADMIRABLE. He says:
'f am Sc years old and have had con-
Siderable experience with stimulants.
Taey are all alike-a mortgage on re-
served energy at ruinous interest. AS
the whip stimulates but does not
strengthen the horse, so do stimulants
lct upon the human system. Feeling
this way, l gave up coffee and all
other stimulants and began the use OF
Postum Food coffee some months ago
The beneficial results have been ap
parent from the first. The rheumatism
that used to suffer from has left me-
sleep sounder. my nerves are stead

testimony also to the food value of

Austrian Nuns Of Noble Blood Lead
Pleasant Lives.

The first lady" in the AustroHun-
garian court is now the abbess of the
Theresian Convent of the Noble La

always held by an archduchess. The
Archduchess Maria Annunciata. the
present abbess, who is niece Of the
emperor, has succeeded to the position
Of first lady through the widowhood
of the Archduchess Maria Josefa, wife
of the late Archduke Otto. The noble
nuns of Prague live very different
life from what Is the usual conception
of convent life. They play a leading
part in the society of the city and are
not even compelled to live in the alb.
bey, where each is provided with two
rooms and service. Handsome car.
riages with liveried servants are also
provided for their use, and they have
a box in the opera. Each noble lady
is paid $500 year. while the abbess
has salary OF $4,000. When they
attend court balls they must wear
black evening dress with ribbon of

Always to Be Depended Upon.

When a person gets up in the morn
Ing with dull headache and a tired.
stretchy feeling, it's an almost certain
indication that the liver, or bowels,
or both. are decidedly out of order.
At such times Nature, the wisest
and best of doctors, takes this means
to give warning that she needs the
help and gentle assistance which can
best be obtained from that old fam
lily remedy, Brandreth's Pills, which
has been in use for over century.
They are the same fine laxative
tonic pill your grandparents used
when doctors were few and far be-
tween, and when people had to have
a remedy. that could absolutely be de-
pended upon.
Brandreth's Pills can be depended
upon, and are sold in every drug and
medicine store, plain or sugar-coated.

NoveJjst's Early EarninQs.

A pocket series of Mr.. Thomas
Hardy's stories is to be published
soon, and lately complete edition OF
his books in 20 beautiful volumes was
issued in America with success. When
Mr.. Hardy took the manuscript OF
Under the Greenwood Tree" to the
late Mr.. Tinsley that enterprising pub
Usher offered the novelist the sum OF
S125 down for the book. Mr.. Hardy
accepted the sum, although he owned
that he was "a bit disappointed. add
ing that nevertheless he meant to
keep on" Next came his book "A Pair
of Blue Eyes" for which Mr.. Tinsley
gave the novelist $500, saying: There
is no money in the book, but l can
see that Hardy is going tc get grip
some day"

Destructive Yellow River,

Thousands of men work all their
lives at securing the banks of the
great Yellow river in China. Yet
every now and then the tide sweeps
away all opposition and the loss in
human life is greater than any war

river burst its bonds. Day after day
the torrent flowed, 20 miles to the

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory If the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, 1t is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric Is
hidden behind paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trouble
can be entirely overcome by using De-
fiance Starch, as 1t can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.

scALY ERUPTION ON BODY.
Doctors and Remedies Fruitless-Suf-
fered 10 Years Completely
Cured by Cuticura.

When l was about nine years old
lower limbs. | scratched them with a
brass pin and shortly afterwards both
of those limbs became SO sore that
l could scarcely walk. When l had
been suffering for about a month
the sores began to heal, but small
scaly eruptions appeared where the
sores had been. From that time on
ward l was troubled Ey such severe
itching that, until l became accus-
toned to it. l would scratch the sores
until the blood began to flow. This
would stop the itching for a few
days, but scaly places would appear
again and the itching would accom-
pany them. Af1er | suffered about
ten years l made a renewed effort to
effect a cure. The eruptions by this
time had appeared on every part of
my body except my face and hands.
The best doctors in my native coun-
ty advised Ee to use arsenic in small
doses and salve. l then used to
bathe the sores in a mixture which
gave almost intolerable pain. In ad-
dition l used other remedies, such
as iodine, sulphur, zinc salve, IS
Salve, - Ointment, and in fact
was continually giving some remedy
n fair trial, never using less than
one or two boxes or bottles. All
this was fruitless. Finally my hair
began to fall out and l was rapidly
becoming bald. / used 5 -,
but it did no good. A few months
after, having used almost everything
else, l thought l would try Cuticura
Ointment, having previously used
Cuticura Soap and being pleased with
it. After using three boxes | was
completely cured, and my hair was
restored, after fourteen years of suf-
fering and an expenditure of at least
$50 or $50 in vainly endeavoring to
find cure. l shall be glad to write
to any one who may be interested in
my cure. b. Hiram Mattingly. Yer

French Presidents "poub,e.r

M. Fallieres was, until recently, be-
lieved to be the only president of the
French republic who had no double,
but his counterpart has been found.
The man who most resembles him
physically is respectable merchant
of the Rue Saint Honore, who plays
his part with decorum and dignity. He
wears exactly the same kind of blue
butterfly necktie with white dots as
the president, the same kind of hat
and exactly 80 oddly cut beard. And
on his promenades he is always ac-
companied by friend who could cas-
lily be taken for the presidents pri-
vate secretary. Dignified and with
measured steps, the enviable double
walks through the Faubourg Saint
Bonore and feels overjoyed at being
salu.ed on all sides.
