BECKER TO AID SOCIETY.
Boy Mayor Will Send Car of Supplies
as Christmas Present.

Milwaukee.-Mayor Becker will send
John F. Dietz, the defender of Cam
eron dam, a carload of provisions for
a Christmas present. His plan is to
enlist the sympathies of people
throughout the state, and have them
send him provisions and presents. By
the early part of November, the goods
will be ready to be shipped to Winter,
the nearest freight depot to the Dietz
farm. When it arrives there, it will
have to remain until the snow flies
and the ground is frozen, allowing the
supplies to be carried on sleigh to
the farm. Mayor Becker, accompanied
by A. e. Reese of Osceola, will ride
on the sled to the door and formally
present the gift.
A letter last week from Deitz to A.
E. Reese said that the write" found an
attempt to cut off his winter food sup
plies and asked that he be aided in
getting in provisions.
Following his letter, ton of pro-
visions and clothing was delivered to
Dietz by Mr.. Reese and Tie people of
Osceola.

TRANSFORMATIONS.
Curious Results When Coffee Drinking
is Abandoned.

It is almost as hard for an old coffee
topper to quit the use of coffee as it is
for whisky or tobacco fiend to break
off, except that the coffee user can
quit coffee and take up Postum with
out any feeling of a loss of the morn
ing beverage, for when Postum is well
boiled and served with cream, it is
really better in point Of flavor than
most of the coffee served nowadays,
and to the taste of the connoisseur it
is like the flavor of fine, mild Java.
A great transformation takes place
in the body within ten days or two
weeks after coffee is left off and
Postum used, for the reason that the
poison to the caffeine-has
been discontinued, and in its place is
taken a liquid food that contains the
most powerful elements of nourish-
ment.
1t is easy to make this test and
prove these statements by changing
from coffee to Postum. Read "The
Road to MELVILLE" in pkgs. There's
a Reason"

Mary's Important Testimony.

Justice Brewer, of the United States
supreme court is said to be the author
of this story: A witness testified in
a certain case that person named
Mary was present when a particular
conversation took place and the ques-
ton was asked: what did Mary
say?" This was objected to and after
some discussion the judge ruled out
the question. An exception to this
decision was Immediately taken and
on appeal the higher court reversed
the verdict and ordered a new trial
on the ground that the question
should have been answered.
At the second trial the same inquiry
was propounded and ELECTED the infor-
nation that MARY said nothing"

COINED A BIG WORD.
Little Ono Wanted to Pick the "una
derchiIdrenabIe" Flowers.

When the first little granddaughter
was big enough to want to pick the
garden flowers, the grandparents tried
every guileful means to save their pet
posies from devastation. A truce was
reached when it was agreed that Har-
T:et should let the garden plants alone,
and pick only "children's flowers" a
descriptive name bestowed at once
alike on dandelions, buttercups,
daisies and clovers. After this there
was peace in the family. One day
Katherine, the newest granddaughter,
was contentedly pulling grasses while
grandmother shipped off blossoms
from the forget-me-nots. Katherine
remembered that fresh flowers had
not been gathered for the dinner ia
BILE. She ran over to grandmother and
promptly coined one of the longest
words a four-year-old ever used.
Grandmother" she begged, cant /
pick the underchildrenable flowers
for dinner?"
