WENT TO TEA

Tea drinking frequently affects peo-
pie as badly as coffee. A lady in Sails.

PEELED to abandon the use of coffee n
good many years ago, because it
threatened to ruin her health and that
she went over to tea drinking, but
finally. she had dyspepsia so bad that
she had lost twenty-five pounds and
no food seemed to agree with her
She further says: "As this time l
was induced to take up the famous
food drink, Postum, and was so much
pleased with the results that | have
never been without it since. | COM
menced to improve at once, regained
my twenty-five pounds of flesh and
went some beyond my usual weight
81 know Postum to be good, pure,
and healthful, and there never was an
article, and never will be, l believe,
that does so surely take the place of
coffee, as Postum Food Coffee. The
beauty of it all is that it is satisfying
and wonderfully nourishing. l feel as

In an article in Scribner's Magazine
on 'Americanisms," Henry Cabot
Lodge will bring joy to many readers
by his remarks on the word guess,
whose use in the sense of think or
suppose is so derided by British
critics. Mr. Lodge quotes Chaucer
Shakespeare, Gray, Coleridge, Words
worth and Carlyle as using the word
in this sense, and says: Seriously
speaking, the word guess is a good
old English word, and the American
usage is both excellent and correct, as
well as far truer to the tradition and
spirit of the language than the British
substitutes of fancy imagine or 'ex
pect,' which last is grotesquely wrong
because it can properly apply only tc
the future" With this authority be
hind him even the fastidious one anx
ious to display culture need not la
ment when his tongue slips and he
says 81 guess" instead of 81 fawncy."

THE HERALD
SPRINGFIELD, COLORADO,
The I-eveling Crowd.

But quite apart from ones private
feeling, there is also the undoubtcd
fact which meets one on every side,
that people in the company of others
are almost invariably less interesting,
less individual, less tolerant, more
conventional, more tiresome, less sin
core, less unaffected than when they
are alone; they are less themselves,
in fact. The serious, quiet, suggestive
person. who is delightful when he is
by himself, when he talks easily and
simply of all that is in his mind, be-
comes feebly jocuar, mildly cynical,
given to anecdote, given to reminis-
cence, in company. The bluff man be-
becomes a screeching platitudinarian.
the weeping philosopher becomes n
gloomy poseur, the shy man becomes
silent or, still worse, voluble. the
talker becomes n chatterer, the sym
pathetic man becomes unctuous. 1t is
the natural result of an audience, says
A. C. Benson, in Atlantic. In tete-a-
tete one has only one person to think
of but when the listeners are multi
piled, one feels obliged conscientious
ly to try and hit the taste, not of the
individual, but of the type; and the
type is always duller, and generally
lower, than the individual. And in any
case prudence warns one to abstain
from any originality and not to COM
init oneself.

A Eriend In Need.

Immediately after the earthquake In
California in 1906 relief stations were
established in San Francisco and Oak
land. Supplies poured In from neigh
boring ranches, other towns and other
states, but almost all that was sent
needed to be cooked before it could be
eaten. and of course in many instances
homeless wanderers were in Immediate
need of food The volunteer cooks did
the best they could They boiled great
kettles of soup caldrons of coffee and
oceans of tea. but it was impossible to
cook rapidly enough to supply all com
ers. Late one afternoon when the
cooked food supply was running low
and long line of hungry persons still
waited to be fed a wagon halted before
one of these stations, and bluff old
ranchman addressed the lady in charge.
Say" said he. I've brought you 300
dozen of the best eggs in the state, but
you won't need to cook them. They're
already cooked. I've been boiling eggs
since 8 O'Clock this morning"
