Philpotts has made US familiar with
romantic Devonshire, in his fascinating
novels, THE River" Children of the

human; the people there drink coffee
with the same results as elsewhere. A
writer at Rock House, Orchard Hill,
Bideford, North Devon, states:
For 30 years l drank coffee for
breakfast and dinner but some years
ago found that it was producing indi-

either indigestion, heartburn, or brain

discontinued the use of the old kind of

The courage OF men is one of the

Women seldom have physical cour-
age though there are several histor-
ical instances of it. There was Joan
of Arc. There were the women in
Holland, who helped defend the cities
against overwhelming odds. Even
now one frequently reads in the daily
papers of one woman protecting
house against burglar or performing
other heroic acts, but usually wom-,
ans courage comes out in a far
quieter and more long-suffering
form, with no glory attached to it.
Washington is a spot to make one
reflect on the courage of women. To
see the daily defile at o'clock from
the departments, where 1000 women
are employed, is magnificent, now
that age-earning for women is an
established fact.
No one knows what courage is
needed for woman constitutionally

while in New Orleans a few months
ago, took the opportunity Of going to
the races. During the afternoon he
cashed several tickets, the result Of
good guesses. He was feeling happy
after the last race, and started for
the automobile which was to convey
him back to his hotel. AS he was
about to climb into the machine he
felt a hand on his arm, and a man
shouted in his ear:
Hello, Hitchcock how are you?
Hear you put crimp in the bookies
to-day"
Hitchcock blushed and shook hands
sheepishly, not recognizing the man,
and not wishing to show it.
Say, l want to speak to you con-
fldentially," said the stranger.
"All right; what is it?" asked the
comedian.

luck to-day. They cleaned me and l
want to get home. Now, don't let

hand in his pocket. Then he paused
and queried: Where do you live?"

SPLENDID APRIL TONIC.
Easily Prepared at Home and Harm
less to Use.

This is known as Blood Cleaning
Time" especially among the older
folks, who always take something dur
ing this month to clean the blood of
impurities and build it up.
The following is the recipe as given
by a well-known authority, and any
one can prepare it at home:
Fluid Extract Dandelion one-half
ounce, Compound Kargon one ounce
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla three
ounces.
Get these simple ingredients from
any good pharmacy and mix by shak-
ing well in a bottle. The dose is one
teaspoonful after meals and at bed
time.
Everybody should take something to
help the blood, which becomes impov-
erished and almost sour after the win
ter season, especially those who are
subject to Rheumatism, Catarrh, Kid
ney and Bladder trouble.
1t is said that one weeks use of this
mixture will clear the skin of sores,
pimples or boils.
This is sound healthy advice, which
will be appreciated by many readers.

A queer comedy of cheating is now
causing much amusement in Paris.
A laborer named Bedasne, living at
KNOXVILLE, in the Eure ct LoiT, went
70 Melun with two pounds in his
pocket. Having spent this in liquor
he conceived the idea of getting on
TO Paris for nothing.
Finding an empty third-class COM
partment, he fastened a flannel belt
round his neck, stuffed handkerchief
into his mouth, pitched his empty
purse onto the opposite seat and, ly-
ing down, first had a sleep and then,
when Paris was reached, refused to
give any sign of life till the alarmed
station staff poured cordial into his
mouth.
Then he was taken to a hospital,
where he told story of being at.
tackled by three men, but police ques'
tions becoming too difficult, he at
last related his stratagem, and was
haled from his sick bed TO prison.
