TOO YOUNG FOR 4 STICK.
Why Boy Would Have Nothing to Do
 with His Lemonade.

'1t was at children's treat in the country. said the Settlement worker with pink cheeks and unbounded en- thuslasm, and lemonade and edibles were being supplied to collection of small children who looked, for the most part, like babies and were as sophisticated as l don't know what to gay. As l walked around to see that everyone was getting enough to eat and drink came to one infant whose mug Of lemonade had not been touched apparently. l observed that there was little twig from one of the trees floating on the top. but they are not fasfldious as rule and it did not oc o'p. to me that he objected to the proof that he was playing under real Tees.
 Why don't you drink the lemon sde, little brother?' said | Isn't it sweet and nice? Don't you like it?"
 He wriggled a bit and rubbed his ear on his shoulder in B delightful state of embarrassment. and then with a knowing twinkle he said; T guess, teacher, I'm too little to drink lemon ade wid stick in it. IN. Y. Times.

COFFEE COMPLEXION.
Many Ladies Have Poor Compilations
 from Coffee.

Coffee caused dark colored blotches on my face and body. had been drinking it for long while and these blotehes gradually appeared. until finally they became permanent and were about as dark as coffee itself.
 T formerly had as fine a complex ion as one could ask for.
 When 1 became convinced that cof- Tee was the cause of my trouble, changed and took to using Postum Food Coffee. and as I made it we'll, ac- cording to directions, liked it very much, and have since that time used it In place of coffee
 I am thankful to say am not ner- Tous any more, as l was when l was drinking coffee. and my complexion is now as fair and good as it was years ago. It is very plain that coffee caused the trouble"
 Most bad complexions are caused py some disturbance of the stomach and coffee Is the greatest disturber of digestion known. Almost any woman can have a fair complexion if she will leave of coffee and use Postum Food Coffee and nutritious, healthy food in proper quantity. Postum furnishes certain elements from the natural grains from the field that Nature uses 10 rebuild the nervous system and when that is in good condition, one can depend upon good complexion as well as a good healthy body.

For hardenlno Drill.

Hardening an ordinary drill in sul. phuric acid, states the English Me chanic. makes an edge that will cut tempered steel or facilitate cutting hard rock. The acid should be poured Into a fat-bottomed vessel to a depth of about one-eighth of an inch. The point of the drill is heated to a dull cherry red, and dipped in the acid to that depth. This makes the point extremely hard. while the remainder remains soft. If the point breaks, re harden, but with little less acid in the vessel

DEAD FROM POISONOUS GAS.
Body of Henry Wilson Found This
Morning With Life Extinct.

Henry Wilson, colored, twenty-eight
years old, of Deanwood, D. c., was found
dead from gas poisoning this morning In
a sleeping room of the stable of Frank E.
Altemus 1928 Park road northwest, where
he was employed. The police investiga-
ton showed that a gas tube, leading to a
stove in the room, leaked, and the death
is attributed to an accident.
Wilson has been in the habit of sleeping
in the rear room of the stable, had a small
gas stove for heating the room, deriving
It's supply of gas through a tube fastened
to the gas jet. When Wilson went to bed
last night it is supposed he turned off the
gas, but at the stove instead of at the jet.
During the night while the colored man
slept the poisonous gas escaped from the
insecure fastenings and overcame him.
Wilson did not appear to attend to his
usual duties this morning, and Andrew A.
Campbell, 1909 street northwest started
to his room in the stable to investigate.
Wilson's body was then discovered. DR..
Francis E. Harrington, 1859 Park road,
was summoned at once, and when he ar
rived he pronounced Wilson dead as the
result of the gas poison.
Coroner hewitt was notified of the Incl
dent about 10 o'clock and he will make an
investigation later in the day. The body
has been removed to the morgue.

Disposal of City's Refuse.

Sunday, is proving somewhat Of prob

AS was stated in The Star, arrangements
have been made by Superintendent Twohey
of the street cleaning department to use
the old crematory that was operated be-
fore the one which was destroyed Sunday
was constructed. 1t Is In the same vicinity
as the latter, but it is in bad repai- and its
furnace has only small capacity and will
not be able to handle more than one-third
of the refuse collected daily. Commissioner
West states that the greater part of the
refuse will be burned and destroyed on the
flats near Benning and some will be SINH
larly treated near Rosslyn, Va.
The junk dealers are helping little in
that they are handling some of the refuse
for the junk that Is in it.
The owners of the Washington Reclaim
ing Company, which handled the refuse,
have announced that in all probability they
will make arrangements to rebuild the
plant on an extensive scale.

the latter that the other Commissioners
will act.
