and so | am doubly convinced coffee

MY brother was in the habit OF
drinking coffee three times a day. He
was troubled with sour stomach and
would often notice him getting soda
from the can to relieve the distress In

Finally he tried a cup of Postum
and liked it so well he gave up coffee
and since then has been drinking
Postum in its, place and says he has
not once been troubled with sour stom-

Even after this lady's experience
with coffee her brother did not suspect

neighbors no end of amusement

of death. The novelist went over his.

THE RAGE FOR KHAKI.
This Shade Has Taken Hold of Fem
mine Fancy.

Khaki has taken an entirely new
hold upon the woman of fashion-a
hold that is as strong as was that of
the golden browns at the beginning
of the season. In fact, there is sort
of frenzy for khaki, despite the fact
that it is not always pretty. Some
times raw, sometimes brazen and
again indstinct of tone, it takes eE-
pert handling TO be made into the
creations that one raves over in the
French salons. The shade. however,
is peculiarly becoming to reddish
blondes, OF whom there are so many
among the smart set of Paris and
London One of the smartest speci-
mems of khaki silk is shown by
Worth, the skirt being plain. save for
an inch-wide band of its own material
piped with delicate green silk and
running around the skirt above the
hem. With it is worn a pretty short
coat with full sleeves, held with cuffs
to match, these turning back quite
deep over the sleeves.
KimoEo coats of khaki silk stitched
wici fancy embroideries are very
smart indeed for summer wear, and
some of the long models are taken as
an excuse for the employment of
quantities after quantities of hand
some lace in white and neutral tints.
Shorter models have long since as
sumed styles of their own, many Of
which are truly delightful. In one Of
Laferriere's designs the coat is
draped over the shoulders in bertha
effect from a semifitting back and
outlined with silk ball fringe.

bursts church in New York, the
Christian Scientists had exhibited
several modest EXAMPLES the class.
ical style
Those in New York got some atten.
ton and the beautiful dome of the
First Church in Boston was not over
looked. But it has not been generally
understood how universal this type is
in the architecture of the new church.
That is clearly shown by a series OF
illustrations of Christian Science
churches throughout the country, Illus
trating an article In q recent maya
zine. The Boston temple figures a.
mong the illustrations of course, but
not the well known New York chur-
ches. Otherwise the examples arc
taken from the whole country, includ-
ing half dozen from Chicago, three
or four from California and one or
two from the South.
Practically all but two or three are
variation from the classic temple type
in the semi-Moorish mission style in
LlNerSlue, CdHJNTHld. Inc pLdST SA-
ceptions are clumsy examples of the
bastard basilica type. and look like
dwarfed grain elevators, All of the
rest are classical temples or Rennais-
sance churches. in which the orders
are intelligently used and the general
effect is pleasing.
Those in the North incline more to
the Italian and those in the South
more to the English Renaissance
type, some of the latter curiously re-
sembrng the old colonial Southern re-
sidences. The domed buildings ae
the least successful among those repre-
sented, perhaps from unwillingness to
seem to try to excel the Boston temple
The most beautiful of all are the
simplest, with flat domes or none at
all and nearly pure Greek facade. AL
together the exhibition is rather re-
markable for so young religious
body.

Women's Rlaht to Work.

The New York court of appeals,
passing upon the validity of the state
Jaw prohibiting the employment of
women in the night time later than 8
o'clock holds that the law is uncon-
stitutional fer the reason that it seeks
to abridge the right of contract of
women. The court reaches its conclu-
sion by assuming the general accept
ance of the premise that women and
men stand equal before the law and
that the measure in question would
produce an inequality.

FRANCIS MURPHY

He was not rich as men count gain,
He lived not for the greed of gold;
His life work was not to attain
vast estate to hoard and hold.
He stopped to reach the hand of those
Despised, rejected and depraved;
He lifted men above their woes,
And pointed how they might be
saved
Not as the conqueror he sought,
He listened for no trumpet call;
The starving souls of men he brought
Before his Maker-this was all.
He raised men from the depths of
shame,
Above the level of the clod;
Nor asked for glory nor acclaim,
But the approval of his God,
He sought to place the erring feet
On solid rock once more again;
He paused with words of cheer to
greet
The lowest of down-trodden men;
He went afar to give a smile.
A crushed or broken heart to mend;
None of Gods creatures was too vile
For him to succor and defend.
And who of us shall question, then,
That he shall wear the victor's
crown,
All cleaning with the souls of men
|. He lifted who were fallen down?
Or that, where angel voices rise
In glad hosannas to the Lord,
Beyond the Gates of Paradise,
He hath not won a rich reward?

A little girl in New York has only
one pet, she says, but when she ADDS
that that pet is an elephant, the opin-
ion is that it should be enough for any
one small girl She is the daughter of
Keeper Schneider of the Central Park
zoo" The elephant doesn't belong to
the little girl, really, although it
seems to think it does, and she saws
she loves it as much as though it
were her really, truly own. She has
taught him all sorts of tricks and the
elephant SENS to enjoy doing them as
much as the little girl does putting
him through them. In some ways it
must be hard to have pet so large
he can't be cuddled or picked Up in
ones arms or taken into the house.
But having an elephant for a pet has
its compensations, such as being able
to ride on its back and take most of
ones friends at the same time.

The Ways of a Woman

That the woman movement" In
Germany is of as much Importance as
the similar movement in this coun-
try. although it is being developed on
different lines, is the contention or
the Boston Transcript. It should be
called "the German motherhood
movement" for it has to do with
things maternal. AS an explanation of
just what the movement is, the Trans
cript says: Inc new objective which
is now being pushed with vigor is
the protection of motherhood. As
DR.. Helene Stocker (Ph. d. of Berlin
has just been pointing out in the New
York Independent, although n Their
hood has been idealized in art and
poetry there are many cases where
the mother stands without rights and
without protection. Although the rear
ing of their children is said to be their
sole proper aim in life the legal and
parental power of the mother over
her children is extremely limited as
compared with the fathers.
The main object of the movement
is to provide for mothers, as such
alone, whether married or unmarried,
due legal protection, medical help and
consideration in the rates of wages
In short, what the German woman
movement has added to the woman
movement of the rest of the world is
the definite purpose of attaining to
the public recognition of the need OF
bringing up children as a social duty
OF which the burden must be borne by
all. A motherhood annuity or a child
hood annuity, it is argued, will pro-
tect the marriage bond and institution
more securely than the most rigorous
marriage and divorce laws. The Ger
man woman movement then has TAX
en- one of the most important sters
toward the solution of the womans
question yet conceived anywhere in
the world by insisting that the
motherhood of women, with all its con
sequences, shall be considered as a
social work and interest,"
