Senator and has proved his worthiness
for the position by a steadfast fight for

Russia's National Anthem.

Russia's present national anthem Is
probably the only one that was ever
adopted as the result of an open COM
petition. The musical committee ap-
pointed to do the first rough work of
selection, rejected all the anthems
sent in except two, the respective mer-

himself to determine. One was by
Glinka, the renowned composer of
Life for the Czar;" the other was by
Lvoff. Glinka's anthem was thorough
ly Russian in character, and In the
form Of march; Lvoff's was more
solemn, but much less original. He
knew, however, that a highly military

JOKE ON THE CONGRESSMAN,
Waiter Drew Wrong Inference from
Guests Attitude.

A Georgia congressman gleefully
tells of an experience during his last
visit to New York.
The representative had put up at an
American-plan hotel. When, upon sit
ting down at dinner the first evening
Of his stay, the waiter obsequiously
handed him bill of fare, the con-
gressman tossed it aside, slipped the
waiter dollar bill. and said, Bring
me a good dinner"
The dinner proving satisfactory, the
southern member pursued this plan
during his entire stay in New York.
AS the last tip was given, he men
toned that he was about to return to
Washington.
Whereupon, the waiter, with an ex-
preston of great earnestness, said:
well, sir, when you or any of your
friends that can't read come to New
York, just ask for Dick.

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: II used to drink
strong coffee myself, and suffered
greatly from headaches and indiges-
ton. While on a visit to my brothers
had good chance to try Postum
Food Coffee, for they drank it alto
gether in place of ordinary coffee. In
two weeks after using Postum I found
I 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.
II observed curious fact about
Postum when used among mothers. It
greatly helps the flow of milk in cases
where coffee is inclined to dry 1t up.
and where tea causes nervousness.
II find trouble In getting servants to
make Postum properly. They most
always serve It before 1t has been
boiled long enough. 1t should be boiled
