she said, We drink nothing at meal
time but Postum Food Coffee, and it is
such comfort to have something we
can enjoy drinking with the children
Il was astonished that she would al
low the children TO drink any kind of
coffee, but she said Postum was the
most healthful drink in the world for
children as well as for older ones, and
that the condition of both the children
and adults showed that to be a fact
my first trial was a failure. The
cook boiled il four or FIVE minutes and
It tasted SO fat that / was in despair

in an effort to stamp out Bovine Tuber-
culosis? Thousands of our best Dairy
Cows are being killed in the effort and
yet the disease spreads. Recently a
booklet issued to all readers free by
The Mutual Mercantile Co., Cleveland,
o., claims that few cents worth Of
Rasawa procured at any Drug Store
and fed to the COW will render her
absolutely immune to the disease, and
it is surely sensible move in the right
way if the claim is true. At any rate
is it not worth while to get the booklet

what they say? 1t is especially so
when so many thousands of cases Of

crete work, though the construction
is quite distinctive in character. In

continuous rods OF twisted electro
carbon steel especially prepared for
this purpose. These rods are tied
together and held in position by con-
tinuous spiral binding-wires. These
form the skeleton-work of the pole,
or the reinforcement, which is then
inclosed into form, into which ce-
ment is poured. After a number of
days the form is removed, and the
result Is concrete pole.
Extreme climatic conditions of
summer and winter or heavy demand
upon the strength and elasticity OF
a heavy pole line leave the poles
made by this process absolutely un'
impaired One of the features of the
poles is their remarkable elasticity.
A thirty-foot pole will defect 81
inches at the top without cracking
the concrete. The breaking strain
of the pole is figured at 5000 pounds
three times the strength of the com
mon wooden pole.
Carefully calculated accounts Of
all expenditures for labor and ma.
terial in the construction show that
under average conditions the frs.
cost IS slightly more than that Of
cedar poles. While the average life
of a cedar pole Is about IL years,
that of concrete pole is practical
ly unlimited. When a cedar pole
decays, the labor cost of removing
Il and attaching the wires to a new
pole is far greater than the cost OF
the pole itself. Such cost is by far
the greatest item OF depreciation In

haps the only one that has made
telephone securities less desirable

poles this renewal cost is eliminated.

Work of Popular Education In
Germany.

The important task of spreading
wholesome literature and useful
knowledge is, as a matter of fact,
not sufficiently performed by the
splendid libraries for which men
like Carnegie are never tired of pro-
yiding the funds, With all due APP
probation for the generous gifts Of
fered in our days by the wealthy
classes OF the old and new world,
we may point out that these H.
braries are naturally confined to the
larger towns and the universities.

work of generations. II is this kind
of work for which the society for
Spreading Popular knowledge has
been organized in Germany.
Its founder was the late member
OF parliament, Herr Heinrich Rick
ert, and II is now presided over by
Prince Heinrich Schoenalch-Caro-
lath, poet OF some distinction.
This society has taken up the pro-
gram of bringing appropriate liter
AIRY treasures OF the whole world
within the reach of the population
in the villages and smallest country
towns. For this purpose II uses
either already exciting little librar
les of elementary schools and VII
lage clubs or founds libraries OF It's
own. Thus in 1906, altogether AZ
new village Libraries. with 22,147
volumes, were started, while 1891
already existing libraries we're pre-
sented with 96,3O2 volumes.
Most important for its purpose Is
the plan of lending a collection OF
books to a village for a year only,
until all persons living there NAV
have had a chance OF reading the
, offered books OF their liking; then
the whole set is brought to another
village, while a new collection takes
its place. This travelling collection
interchanged between many villages
consists OF $4,000 volumes; SO that
there is variety enough for a life
time. II consist of novels, poetic
literature and fiction exclusively.
AS a new venture another travel
ing library composed of popular
works on science was set moving in
1906, and IL was found out, that at
least in the larger villages and
small towns there is a sufficient de-
mand for scientific literature to be
highly satisfied with the result.
Many towns that are sufficiently pro-
yided for with a circulating library
for works OF fiction, apply for the
lending OF the travelling scientific H.
brary, as their means do not allow
them 10 include this branch OF lit
erature in the purchases of their
own library. For the sake of chill
dren the society has adopted the
plan of arranging a small exhibition
of children's and juvenile literature
in the villages. Great care is taken
To include only wholesome books al
reasonable prices
Moreover, the society arranges
public lectures ana literary enter
tainments even in the remotest VIII
lages. Lately 4, has taken up the
publication of little pamphlets treat
ing of practical questions. The first
installment was a treatise, How 10
preserve good health and the power
of making ones own living" by Pro-
fessor Kalle and DR.. Schellenberg.
Up 10 now 10000 copies have been
distributed in the open country. In
the list OF contributors toward the
expenses OF this society We find also
the name of the Germany emperor.
Other associations of a similar
kind try to use the organization of
the German book trade for selling
good reading at the lowest possible
prices. Quite recently the German
fund for the memory OF poets" has
inaugurated the plan OF providing
