An Acute Observer.

A one-armed man sat down to his
MONDAY luncheon in a little restaur-
ant the other day, and seated on the
right of him was a big, sympathetic
individual from the rural district.
The big fellow noticed his neigh
boris left sleeve hanging loose and
kept cycling him in a sort of how-did-
it-happen way. The one-armed man
failed to break the ice, but continued
to keep busy with his one hand sup
plying the inner man.
At last the inquisitive one on the
right could stand it no longer. He
changed his position little, cleared
his throat and said: 81 see, sir, you
have lost an arm"
Whereupon the unfortunate man
picked up the empty sleeve with his
right hand, peered into it, looked up
with a surprised expression, and said:
"By George, sir, you're right"

SCHOOL TEACHERS
Also Have Things to Learn.

For many years have used coffee
and refused to be convinced of its bad
effect upon the human SYSTEM" writes
a veteran school teacher.
Ten years ago l was obliged to give
up my much loved work in the public
schools after years of continuous la
Dor. 1 had developed a well defined
case of chronic coffee poisoning.
THE troubles were constipation,
flutterings of the heart, humping
in the top of my head and various
parts of my body, twitching of my
limbs, shaking of my head, and, at
times after exertion, general gone"
feeling with a-toper's desire for very
strong coffee. l was nervous wreck
for years.
"a short time ago friends came to
visit us and they brought package of
Postum with them, and urged me to
try it. l was prejudiced because some
years ago had drunk cup of weak,
tasteless stuff called Postum which
did not like at all.
This time, however, my friend
made the Postum according to direc-
lions on the package, and it won me.
Suddenly l found myself improving in
a most decided fashion.
1.-THE odor of boiling coffee no long
er tempts me. 1 am so greatly bene-
flied by Postum that if / continue to
improve as 1 am now, I'll begin to
think 1 have found the Fountain of

Girls Rash Spread and Grew Worse
Under Specialists care-Perfect
Cure by Cuticura Remedies.

when my daughter was a baby she
had a breaking out behind the ears.
The doctor said that she would out
grow it, and it did get somewhat bet
ter until she was about fifteen years
old, and after that she could get moth
ing that would drive it away. She was
always applying something in the way
of salves. 1t troubled her behind the
knees, opposite the elbows, back of
the neck and ears, under the chin, and
then it got on the face. That was
about three years ago. She took treat
ment with specialist and seemed to
get worse all the time. We were then
advised to try the Cuticura Remedies,
and now don't see any breaking out.

HOW HE FOUND THE KEY.
Brothers Method Was Simple, but
Also Somewhat Costly.

Miss Dresswell had just returned,
after spending a week with a country
friend. Imagine her CONSERVATION
when she discovered her previously
well-stocked wardrobe empty!
Gracious, George!" she said to her
brother Where are all my clothes?
And what in the world is that great
black patch on the lawn"
The face of George exhibited all the
well-known signs of conscious right
eousness, and he met her gaze I'M
dinchingly.
''Maria," he replied consolingly, you
wrote to me that if 1 wanted the key
Of the billiard room 1 should find it in
the pocket of your bolero.'
Yes, yes!"
"Well, don't know a bolero from
fichu or a box pleat, so 1 took all the
things to the lawn and burnt them.
Then l recovered the key from the
ashes"
She froze him with stare, and he
is now thawing slowly on the kitchen
stove.-Stray Stories.
