COSTLY PRESSURE.
Heart and Nerves Fail on Coffee.

A resident Of a great western state
puts the case regarding stimulants
with comprehensive brevity that is
admirable. He says:
II am Sc years old and have had con.
siderable experience with stimulants.
They 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
act upon the human system. Feeling
this way, 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.
I sleep sounder, my nerves are stead.
Ter and my brain clearer. And bear
testimony also to the food value Of
Postum-something that is lacking in
coffee" Name given by Postum Co.,

American ldeaIisn1.

Since my first arrival in America
have held that the real spirit is ideal
istic and that the average individual
American is controlled by idealistio
impulses. Those who may contradict
me can not have sounded the depths
Of the philosophy of Ralph Waldo
Emerson, or studied the life and read
the speeches of Abraham Lincoln, and
considered their far-reaching effect on
the American people. In Lincolns
great character nothing can be more
striking than the way In which he
combined reality and the loftiest ideal,
with a thoroughly practical capacity
to achieve that ideal by practical
methods. This faculty seemed to give
him far-sighted, almost superhuman
vision, which enabled him to pierce
the clouds obscuring the sight OF the
keenest statesmen and thinkers OF his
age-Baron Speck von Sternburg, IN

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

when l was about nine years old
small sores appeared on each Of my
lower limbs. l scratched them with
brass pin and shortly afterwards both
Of those limbs became so sore that
I could scarcely walk. When l had
been suffering for about month
the sores began to heal, but small
scaly eruptions appeared where the
sores had been. From that time on
ward l was troubled by such severe
itching that, until l became accus.
toned to it, 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. After / suffered about
ten years | made 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 me to use arsenic in small
doses and a salve. / 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
a 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. l used IS -,
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
1t. After using three boxes l 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 a cure. / shall be glad to write
to any one who may be interested in
my cure. B. Hiram Mattingly, Yer.

French Presidents Double"

M. Fallieres was, until recently, be-
Iieved 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 a 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 so oddly cut beard. And
on his promenades he is always &C.
companied by friend who could cas-
lily be taken for the presidents pri-
vate secretary. Dignifed and with
measured steps, the enviable double
walks through the Faubourg Saint
Honore and feels overjoyed at being
saluted on all sides.

COW TURNED THE FAUCET.
Saqacious Animal Saved Herself a
Lonq Walk to the River


The county poor farm has, accord
ine to the assertion Of the inmates,
e-cleverest COW in the state, says
the New York World correspondent at
Portland, Ore. The animal is an old
red Jersey that has been on the farm
for years. The matron at the farm
last summer discovered that the fau-
set on the hydrant in the back yard
was frequently turned on, but con-
slant watching failed to disclose the
miscreant.
The same trouble occurred again
this summer. The matron noticed the
water was turned on about the same
time ever afternoon. While she was
watching she saw the old red Jersey
come leisurely up the road, into the
back yard and walk straight up to the
hydrant. The COW pushed the faucet
with her nose, but it did not seem to
work. So she tried her horns, and
when that method failed, opened her
mouth. took hold of the faucet and
turned it.
Miss Bossy then drank her fill Of
cold water and turned away toward
the green fields, evidently pleased
that she did not have to go a quarter
of a mile to the river to satisfy her
thirst.
The next day the COW seemed much
puzzled to find new faucet and ap-
peared detected when after half an
hour Of hard work, she could not get
her drink. Then the matron had a
watering place made and the cold
water was allowed to run at all times,

HEADS SHAPED TO ORDER.
German Doctor Explains Causes OF
Various Formations.

At a recent convention of German
naturalists and doctors DR.. Watcher,
of Stuttgart, in an instructive paper
put forth a sensational theory to ex-
plain the formation Of the shape OF
the head of infants, He maintained
that the head of a child could be
nodded artifcially. He found by ex-
perience that when a medium-shaped
head is placed in soft cushion the
child turns on its back, or rests on the
back of it's head, in order to free
mouth, nose and face. In this manner
the head rests smoothly, and a short
head is developed. But if the medium
shaped head of a child is placed on
hard under-rest, like hair mattress
or rolled carpet the childs head
turns aside, as it cannot stand any
more on its head than an egg, for the
muscle of the back Is weakened.
Therefore, with continued resting on
the side long head is developed. To
prove his assertions the lecturer pre-
sented a child whose mother and sis
ter are shortheaded. The child at its
birth had a short head, now after IL
months it is long skulled. If the child
had been placed on its back, according
to other experiences its head would
have been short-shaped. DR.. Watcher
did not deny that the shape of the
head was inherited, but asserted that
it could be greatly influenced by the
way the child rested.
