FOUND OUT.
A Trained Nurse Made Discovery.

No one is in better position to know
the value of food and drink than a
trained nurse.
Speaking of coffee, a nurse of Wilkes
Barre, Pa, writes: Il used to drink
strong coffee myself, and suffered
greatly from headaches and indiges-
ton. While on visit to my brothers
had a good chance to try Postum
Food Coffee, for they drank it alto
gether in place of ordinary coffee. In
two weeks after using Postum | found
l was much benefited and finally my
headaches disappeared and also the
indigestion.
Naturally have since used Postum
among my patients, and have noticed
a marked benefit where coffee has been
left off and Postum used.
Il observed a curious fact about
Postum when used among mothers. 1t
greatly helps the flow of milk in cases
where coffee is inclined to dry it up,
and where tea causes nervousness.
II find trouble in getting servants to
make Postum properly. They most
always serve it before it has been
boiled long enough. 1t should be boiled

"GoNE TO THE DEVIL"
London Inn Responsible for Origin Of
Common Saying.

The old inns of England have been
responsible for the origin of many
common sayings An instance of this
is the proverbial phrase HE has
gone to the devil" On Fleet street,
London, near Temple Bar, was once a
tavern which was known by the strict
ly old-fashioned name, "The Devil and
Saint Dunstan." 1t was famous for its
good dinners and excellent wines, and
received a large patronage from the
lawyers of Temple Bar.
1t was Familiarity known as "The
Devil" and when lawyer left his
office to go there he usually left no.
tice on his door, Gone to the Devil"
There were some who patronized the
tavern to the neglect of their business,
and the notice was so regularly exhib-
tied on their doors that it finally came
to be used to characterize the man
who was losing his grip and going to
destruction.-The Sunday Magazine.

SHARP PRACTICES.
Schemes by Which People in Country
Districts Are Defrauded.
d. M. CARR.

One of the winning games that is
widely played Is the giving Of prizes
for the sale Of baking powder, flavor
ing extracts, etc. Numerous con-
Germs are interested in this line of
business. Premiums are offered to
club raisers, and an outfit for can
wasting is sent for dollar or so, or
perhaps furnished free If some person
will vouch for the honesty of the APP
plicant. But "bond" is required as
security for goods sent. The offer is
so attractive that many are induced
to order lot of the goods to get the
premium. The goods are of the
cheapest and most trashy kind. The
soap, the extracts, the species are all
of an inferior quality often adulter-
ated and unwholesome. The person
who orders them realizes that the lot
is worth little. If they are not sold
by the agent, it matters little to the
concern sending them out, as the per-
sons vouching for the honesty of the
agent will be informed that they
will be held for the price of the goods,
and to save trouble, the agent will
send the money due, and make the
best Of bad bargain. 1t is a good
thing to avoid all propositions that
offer much for little.

WHAT ONE MERCHANT DID
Correspondent of Home Trade League Testifies
to Value of Publicity

One country merchant writes the
Home Trade league as follows:
"Since have adopted the city idea
of notwithstanding new goods
with prices, and at the same time
making known what l desire to dis
pose of at or about cost to make room
for new goods-my sales have not
only increased very largely with regu-
lar customers, but l have secured
many new ones. Not only this-in-
stead of the farmers wives spending
from a half to an hour and half look
ing about the store to see what there
is in stock they may want and taking
the clerks time who otherwise would
have chance to sell goods to several
other customers, they come in and
ask for the very articles they have
seen advertised and which they have
already decided they do want from
seeing the advertisement in this week
ly paper, and the result Is l have been
able to dispense with one of my clerks
to whom l was paying $500 per year"
This merchant further says that
this saving of clerk hire expended in
this same kind of advertising during
the year will, he is confident, increase
his trade so per cent. and that he can
already name % customers who but
very recently have been buying their
goods almost entirely from Chicago
catalogue houses.
This experience without doubt can
be duplicated by thousands of other
men in business throughout the coun-
try. 1t is to be feared that the aver
age merchant in the smaller towns has
allowed himself to get into a rut, and
1t is one from which he must swiftly
emerge if he has any desire to stay

Give Charm to Town.

Attractive streets, well paved, good
sidewalks, clean appearing buildings
signs arranged well, all go to add a
charm to town. One of the things
that often gives strangers to a town
bad impression is the loose manner
in which storekeepers and others take
care of the exterior of their places.
Often not sign about the place is
to be found to designate the character
Of the business carried on, and this
can only be known. by peep through
the open door. The windows are
often arranged In such way as to
give little knowledge of the goods
handled. During the summer time
awnings hanging low over the walks,
so the passer-by must stoop to avoid
them, are found in many places. Just
little care is needed to improve
along these lines. An attractive sign
does not cost much and is a good in
vestment for the storekeeper. Clean
Illness in front of business places
makes good impression. In fact
strangers will seldom enter a store if
the outside appearance indicates SLOW,
enliness and carelessness. The up
to-date merchant will always be found
with a well-cared-for establishment.
1t is quite often you can tell the bust.
ness importance of man in the com
munity by the appearance of his store.
Make business places attractive as
possible. 1t may cost you a little
money, little extra labor, but it will
pay in the long run.

IS HUMAN WEAKNESS
THE DESIRE TO GET SOMETHING
FOR NOTHING.
AN IGNIS FATUUS TO AVOID
One Cause That Has Led to the Down.
fall of Many-FaIlacy That
Ever Tends Toward
Evil.

A man who won the confidence, re-
spect and admiration of the people of
his state was elected to the United
States senate. Soon it is discovered
that he was owned by the railroads"
bought by fayors and instead of repre-
senting the interests of the people
who sent him to his high place in
the nations councils, preferred to rep
resent the corporations that made 1t
possible for him to ride over rail-
roads without cost. 1t is only dem"
onstration of human inclination to get
something for nothing.
The member of state legislature
was accused of showing special atten-
ton to legislation favorable to the
railroads and corporations. He was
charged with riding on passes; and In
fact it became known that his prin-
cipal supporters, too, rode free over
the railroads. Another illustration Of
the human desire to secure something
for nothing.
The mayor of city regularly occu-
pied box at the leading theater;
handed out free street car ticket to
the conductor, enjoyed free drinks at
the bars-ancther example Of the man
who wanted something for nothing,
and at last his greed caused him to
enter into dishonest deals that landed
him in the penitentiary.
On certain days of the month at
numerous supply depots conducted
by county and city charities, long
rows of men and women can be seen
awaiting their turn to get small
supply of -four, sugar and other neces-
saries of life. Some are helpless, de-
formed, and their looks indicate want
and misery, but there are others who
have no appearance of need. Here
again we find men and women leaving
pride and self-respect behind because
OF the desire to secure something for
nothing.
On special sales days in the retail
districts of every large city great
crowds can be seen about the en-
frances of the great department
stores, crushing, fighting to get to
the bargain counters, all DenI upon
getting something of value for little
or nothing
From the highest walks of life to
the lowest the all-prevailing and dom
inant trait in evidence to show the
weakness of the individual is the
struggle to get something for moth
ing. 1t is based upon knowledge of
this fraility of humankind that some
great business enterprises are built.
Wonderful bargains are advertised,
and the masses rush to buy, without
calm reasoning in the matter of any
comparisons of value. Good business
judgment is cast in the background
by the madness to get something for
nothing.
The get-rich-quick operator uses the
same methods to lead to his trap vic.

the big department stores and the
others who have certain objects to
gain. II is always the promise held
out to give something for inadequate
compensation, without its equal in ex'
