New York, Sept Special )-New York is to have something new in the line of business which will at the same time prove a boon to lone females and aid college students who do not have their education paid for out of a pa rental purse. The new idea is for bureau of escorts who shall act as guides, philosophers and friends to any woman in New York who happens to be without protecting man. The idea has been suggested before and even tried in a tentative way by one theatre which offered to furnish its ushers to accompany to their homes such women as came to the theatre alone. The plan did not go well, how ever, partly because of the personality of the escorts and partly for the req son that has kept messenger boys out of this field2the uniform. The new escort bureau, however proposes to furnish young men, preferably college students of the best manners, educa- ton and character generally. All these points will be most carefully in- yestigated, and in addition his ward robe must be equal to any social de- mands. That there is room for such plan. provided the escorts furnished can meet the women they are to look after on a basis of equality is shown by the fact that many cafe and hotel

''WHAT WITCH?"
A Husbands Question.

When a man. from drinking coffee. gets to such a condition that he can not eat breakfast without throwing it up. it seems time to quit. but there are thousands of people who do not understand that when an article of food or drink produces such conditions as these. it should be absolutely left off.
 A little woman out in Montana writes that she and her husband knew enough to quit coffee when it had rapped them hard. She says: My husband was so badly affected that he ate no breakfast for three or four years He would often try to drink few sips of coffee and invariably throw it sup.
 when Postum Food Coffee was brought to my attention l tried it without having any faith in 1t. but when I found what a delicious bever- age 1t was when prepared according to directions. and from trying 1t on my self found there were no bad effects, I induced husband to take a cup with out telling him what 1t was. He obs jected at first, saying that he would be sure to throw 1t up. but when I insisted upon his trying 1t, 1t agreed with him.
 Morning after morning I gave him Postum without telling him that 1t was any different from ordinary coffee. His stomach quickly recovered and he be- gan to eat breakfast. He asked me one morning as he called for a second cup what witch had taught me to make such delicious coffee.' and where I found some that would agree with him?' Then I told him for the first time that he had not been drinking coffee but POstum, 2which had so strengthened his stomach that he could now eat as much breakfast as any one.
 My two sisters were badly troubled with stomach disorder. but after leav- Ing of coffee and taking Postum they both recovered their appetites and took on considerable flesh I wish everyone could be induced to use the health giving aromatic PoStum."

These, through an exceedingly slow and gradual process of the survival of the Attest, have come to form the staples of food in common use by the human race all over the world 1t is really astonishing how comparatively few there are of them, when we come to consider them broadly; the flesh and the milk of three or four domesticated animals, the flesh of three or four and the eggs of one species of domesti- cated birds, three great grains-wheat rite and maize-and & half-dozen smaller and much less frequent ones 100 or so species of fishes and, she'll fish, two sugars, a dozen or so starch- containing roots and tubers, only two of which-the potato and the manioc- are of real international importance twenty or thirty fruits. forty or fifty vegetables make up two-thirds of the food supply of the inhabitants of the world.
 Instead of wondering at the variety and profuseness of the human food sup ply, the biologist is rather inclined to eJaculate with the London footman immortalized by John Lreech, who, when told by the cook that there would be mutton chops for dinner and roast beef for supper, exclaimed, Nothink but beef. mutton and pork-pork, nut ton and beefs.

 An investigator with a bent for facts of curious interest has discovered that while the skyscrapers of Manhattan are pushing to greater and greater heights the city underground has been growing even more rapidly. Ac- cording to his computation, over a hundred thousand persons carry on their daily occupations beneath the street and below the waters of Greater New York. Some of these are caisson workers laying the foundations of huge buildings, employees of the vari- ous tunnels pushing their way under the North and East Rivers and work men fin the subways. In addition to this specialized line of underground activity, there are certain industries that are carried on almost entirely be- heath the surface. One of these Is baking, and it is stated that nearly all the bread and pastry eaten by New Workers is prepared in the below ground city. There are thousands of small shops in the East Side that oc- cupy cellers with no light or Ventila- ton, except such as comes from the single entrance reached by steep flight of steps from the street De- voices of the more fashionable life also are taking to the underground city, since some or lHe DIE h0" hOtS4S and department stores have utilized the space below the surface of their various sites with doors leading to and from the subways. It Is pointed out that a man can come from Chicago to New York. put up at hotel, visit several stores, transact business at downtown office building and return home without once setting foot out of doors.
