FOOLED THE PREACHER.
A Doctors Brother Thought Postum
Was Coffee.

A wise doctor found out coffee wa:
hurting him, so he quit drinking it.
He was so busy with his practice
however, that his wife had to write
how he. fooled his brother, clergy
man, one day at dinner. She says:
Doctor found coffee was injuring
him and decided to give Postum a
trial, and we have used it now for
four years, with continued benefit. In
fact, he is now free from the long
train of ills that follow coffee drink
ing.
ITO show how successful we are
In making Postum properly l will re-
late an incident. At a dinner we
gave, Doctor suggested we serve
Postum instead of ordinary coffee.
Doctors brother, Clergyman, sup
posed it was old fashioned coffee and
remarked, as he called for his sec
ond cup: If you do preach against
coffee, see you haven't forgotten how
to make it'n
This goes to show that well-made-
fully boiled Postum has much the
flavor and richness of good coffee al
though it has an individuality all its
own. A ten days trial will prove that
It has none of the poisonous effect of
ordinary coffee, but will correct the
troubles caused by coffee. There's a
reason" Name furnished by Postum

THE ARTISTIC WALL.
One of Solid Color Will Always Give
Best Effect.

The dearest, daintiest, most artistic
wall is a solid colored wall. 1t fur
nishes perfect background for all
kinds of pictures, 1T throws them out
in their correct proportions, and does
not detract from their artistic value.
The solid colored wall is also much
better as background for furniture,
and harmonizes much more artistical-
ly with carpets and rugs than any
other method of wall treatment. The
less breaking up of color on a wall
the more artistic it is.
The most successful form of the
solid colored wall is an alabastined
wall. There is as much difference be.
tween tinted walls, as there is be-
tween shoddy and allwool gowns. The
shoddy gown holds it's color for few
days, while the all-wool keeps it's color
to the very last thread, so also in solid
colored walls, there are shoddy walls
and permanently colored walls which
retain their color down to the very
last particle. The ideal wall coating
never rubs off, never fakes nor chips
Off and is always ready for a fresh
coat. If there is wallpaper on the
wall, soak it off with warm water,
then so over the plaster after you
nave removed the paper with warm
water to remove every trace of paste.
Have the wall thoroughly clean for a
clean wall cannot be built on an un-
clean foundation. If there are any
particles of foreign matter adhering
to the wall scrape them off with a
putty knife. Then if there are any
discolorations on the wall, size it with
material made from cheap varnish,
thinned down with benzine and japan
added for drier, then cover your
wall with your tinting material.
Be sure your man uses a tinting ma.
terial mixed with cold water. If he
comes to you and asks for warm wa
ter, you can make up your mind that
there is glue in the material which he
proposes to put on your wall, and you
can be certain that you are going to
have a shoddy wall, for glue means
shoddy. Glue means that it will hold
Its color long enough for the man to
collect his bill and not much longer
Insist on your tinting material being
mixed with clear, cold water. Be sure
that your wall is made from pure ma
terials, then you will have perma-
nent, artistic, sanitary wall. A wall
that will be thing of beauty and a
low forever"

PROSECUTION WILL CLOSE CASE
WITH INTRODUCTION IN EVi.
DENcE OF CARBON COPY
Of Affidavit That Hummel Testified
Was Made Voluntarily to Him
BY Evelyn Nesbit ThaW.

New York, March 1S.-Harry K.
Thaw will probably know his fate at
hands of the II men selected to sit
in judgement upon him for the killing
of Stanford White, by Saturday night.
Both the prosecution and defense
agreed that the admission of evidence
would likely cease some time Wednes-
day, leaving a day apiece for the ar.
guments of District Attorney Jerome
and Mr.. Delmas. 1t is anticipated that
Justice Fitzgerald will deliver his
charge to the jury not later than Sat
urday morning. The length of the
jury's deliberations will determine
whether or not the Sabbath will be
spent in suspense by the prisoner.
Unless a change of plan is made the
prosecution will close it's case shortly
after court convenes, with the intro.
duction in evidence of the carbon copy
of the affidavit that Lawyer Abe Hum.
mel testified was made voluntarily to
him by Evelyn Nesbit Thaw. The de.
fense has decided not to cross-eXamine
the states experts.
1T depends entirely upon Jerome's
cross-eXamination of our expert wit,
nesses as to when the trial will draw
to a close" said Mr.. Delmas. "If he
treats them in the same manner as we
treated his experts we shall reach the
end speedily"
Mr.. Jerome's answer 70 this state
ment makes his course appear clear.
He said: Il am hoping and preparing
to spend the weekend somewhere in
the country" as though to imply that
the prolonging Of trial were not in his
hands.
Should District Attorney Jerome
rest his case it will be because of in
ability to spring the surprise he had

Energy and EnioXment.

A marked feature of mans progress
is indicated by our broadening view
of the value of healthful enjoyment.
And It is, indeed, recreation to relax
and give ourselves up to simple
amusements that bring to the active
brain and tired body fresh energy.
Men count it as much a duty to give
simple entertainment to their families
as they do to provide them with nee
essary food and clothing, and year
by year We are coming nearer to this
idea of the value of relaxation. With
wise and proper education in
thought, this matter of entertainment
becomes more and more simple, and
gives a greater degree of satisfaction.
In the crowds upon our streets and in
the busy centers of all material activ-
ity, one may read in the faces of the
people the story of ambition and
alertness. And, as during the closing
years of good mans life, when his
work has been successful and he can
look back with pride to days of busy
effort, he allows himself a restful
ease-so we, with all our rush and
hurry that have won us success, will
begin to take to ourselves the quiet
and restful enjoyment of perfected
life

Great Britain also has It's revenue
frauds. The latest device was marked
by supreme audacity and extraordin-
ary ingenuity. 1t had been employed
by distillers engaged in a gigantic
scheme to cheat the government.
These distillers actually used a sys-
tenn of underground pipes by which
whisky was conveyed to the ware
houses for duty-paid liquor and from
which the whisky was distributed to
dealers, and in this manner were en-.
abled to avoid paying the tax of $2.75
per gallon and to reap a correspond
ing profit. The plan was as daring
and reprehensible as the tricks of
American "moonshiners."

A noteworthy example of high-mind-
edness and unselfishness was recently
set by a southern woman bearing all
honored name. i resolution was in
troduced in the state senate of North
Carolina providing a pension of $100
per month for the y-nomeans-rich
widow of the famous General Stone
wall Jackson. OF its passage there
would have been little doubt, says
leslie's Weekly, had Mrs. Jackson
herself not interposed. But she
promptly wrote a letter to the senate,
saying that the present state laws
limit all pensions to persons who have
not $500 Of personal property, and as
she possessed more than that she re-
quested that the bill be withdrawn
and the money it was proposed to
give her be appropriated for the re-
lief of destitute widows of confederate
veterans Mrs. Jackson's plea was
needed, and now she is held in even
higher general esteem than ever be-

Secret of Japan's SUCCESS.

Gen. Sir Ian Hamilton of the British
army wrote the evening after one of
the great battles which he had wit
messed between Russians and Japa-
nese in the recent war in Manchuria:
ITO bed! Although it is with re-
luctance that prepare to lose my grip
of the exciting consciousness that 1
have to-day seen the most stupendous
spectacle that it is possible for mortal
brain to conceive-Asia advancing,
Europe falling back; the wall of mist
and thewriting thereon" Then as to the
meaning of this retreat of Europe be-
fore advancing Asia: "The more I
think the more certain l am that it
was not strategy or tactics, or arma-
meut or information, which won the
battle Of Liaoyang for Oyama, but that
1t was rather the souls of the Japanese
troops which triumphed over the less
developed, less awakened, less stimu-
lated qualities of the Russians"
