NEW METHOD OF ECONOMY.
Excuse Made by Mr.. caudie Was Real

"Ah, hal" said Mrs. Caudle II. lady

/ was born to govern. although just
now I'm not governing much
Caudle II. threw an apoplectic grin
at his wife, swallowed two or three
gasps and endeavored to explain:
Il tell you. my dear. my present In
hibitions are the result OF precon-
certed arrangement between us
whereby we were to economize." He
found It necessary to stop here and
wait for his grandiose statement to
sift through his wife's pompadour.
(How Nine. Pompadour must writhe
in her grave to know those hideous
deformities are her namesakes.)
"You see, madam" he continued,
"we-I-you-we both agreed to econ
omize, did we not?"
1--WE did" and a pair OF $16 false
teeth snapped tight.
''well,' said Caudle H., getting
little more self-confidence as he con-
tinued, at is this way, madam. Drinks
are 15 cents apiece. For the first
time to-day ascertained these same
drinks sold two for a quarter" He

I saved five cents by buying two, hence
my present condition!-Denver

Work of EIeetro.Maanet.

In engineering works the electro
magnet is taking a very prominent
place. This device dispenses with
hooks, slings and other lifting appa-
ratus. By throwing switch control

gized and thereby attaches Itself to
the bars. castings. scrap or pig iron
which it is desired to lift. The magnet
poles are shaped according to the ma
ture of the material to be raised. For
heavy rails they are oblong and are
slung from the crane hook by a short
chain. Castings weighing over two
tone are successfully handled by elec.
tro-magnets. Another use to which the
electro-magnet is put is in breaking
old castings so that they may be melt
ed and utilized. To accomplish this
the magnet is made to lift and drop
steel ball weighing from one to six
tons.

He is a jollier. He reminds me

Inspector Johnson. of the Columbus

story of one of his new conductors:
The inspector had boarded car on
one of the East Side lines and glanc-

Saying sHello" TO Heart Inrops.
1T is a curious thing" said a prom
inent lecturer recently. how some
books have a strong radiating person
ality, so that you feel like saying
'Howdy' every time you come across
them. Last Christmas / visited friends
back at the old home on the farm.
When the supper dishes had been put
away, the chores done and the evening
lamp lighted we gathered beside the
organ for a good old fashioned sing
On the center table were strewn the
Christmas remembrances taken from
Christmas tree on the evening before.
Glancing over them I suddenly ex-
claimed Hello! my good friend.
Helloi' and as the others looked up
with surprise. picked up a copy Of
Heart Throbs' and read to them from
its pages the piece I spoke In
school 40 years ago.
THAT was enough to set in motion
the friendly entertaining spirit of
Heart Throbs. and the music was for
gotten as we took turns reading the
humorous and pathetic bits Of prose
and verse that have been preserved
in this wonderful volume. Some books
have great literary value, some have
historical significance, but Heart
Throbs is the only book / know that
slaps you on the back in a friendly
sort of way, suiting itself to your
moods and proving faithful to every
emotion. Next to my love of the Bible

notable book of the times"

other glaring examples of Modern
Yellow Journalism and Cigarettes.
Environment gives you viewpoint
from which 1t is difficult to under
stand that some people even nova
days act from motives of old fashion
ed honesty.
There are honest makers of foods

honest people who use them.
Perhaps you are trained to believe
there is no honesty in this world
There is, although you may not be
of a kind to understand 1t.
Some of you have been trained in a
sorry class of pretenders, but your
training does not taint the old fashion
ed person trained without knowledge
of pretense and deceit.
These letters came to us absolutely
without solicitation. We have a great
many thousand from people who have
been helped or entirely healed by fol-
lowing the suggestions to quit the
food or drink which may be causing
the physical complaints and change
to Postum Coffee or Grape-Nuts food.
You are not intelligent enough to
know the technical reasons why the
change makes a change in the cells
of the body. Your knowledge. or lack
of knowledge. makes not the slightest
difference in the facts.
You can print from old and worn
plates all the cheap books your
presses will produce and sell them as
best you can, but such acts and your
learned editorials are but CONNER
