The bladder, however, causes the old
folks the most annoyance, especially at
night and early morning.

stated that he has wonderful success with

states: "Of sixteen cases Of bladder trou-

Formal openinn DELAYED.

The formal opening Of the new Jacoby
stores did not take place to-day as plan
ned. After working all last night il was
found that It would be an impossibility
to be in shape to open satisfactorially to-
day and Mr. Jacoby decided TO delay the
opening until tomorrow. when everything
will be in readiness.
Probably no store has ever opened for
business in Wilmington where such a
vast amount Of work has been done in the
same short period. Day and night for sew
eral days workmen have been laboring
with one end in view-to get the store In
readiness for this weeks opening. All day
yesterday and practically all last night the
salespeople were at work arranging the
goods in the various departments through
out the store. BY extending the opening a
day longer Mr.. Jacoby will be better pre-
pared TO greet his old friends and patrons
who are likely to be much in evidence all
tho week.

The young daughter Of a government
officer whose duties keep him almost con.
stantly on board ship between this ceun-
try and Europe, tells an interesting tale
OF the use her father made Of Natures

ial fever:
Father recently returned from long
sea-trip bed-ridden and emucatcd from
an attack Of malarial chins and fever"
she writes: In such cases people usually
desc themselves with medicines, and we
were surprised when he, instead Of em-
ploying drugs, proceeded 70 devote him
self exclusively TO Postum Food Coffee, Of
which he has long been fond. He used
two or more cups at each meal drinking
It very hot and between meals uuenched
his fever-engendered thirst at all hours
OF the day and night from a supply We
kept ready in the water-cooler For SOW
eral days his only drink and sometimes
his only food was Postum Coffee. hot or
cold, according TO the moments fancy.
within a day or two his Improvement
was noticeable. and within a week he
was a we'll man again, able to resume his
arduous occupation.
HE first began to drink Postum Food
Coffee several years ago. as a rsmedy for
( insomnia, To- which he found It mval'
liable, and likes 1t so much and finds Il
SO beneficial that he always uses it when
no is at home where he can get IT," Name
given by Postum Co.. Battle Creek, Mich,

/ It is in no sense a medicine but only food
in liquid form. But this is natures way

The Money End.

Maurice Grau told me-" said a COM
poser, that he owed his success to
the fact that he produced opera solely
from the business, never from the
musical oreartistic standpoint.
Frank, wasn't it? Most men in his
line use his method, but hypocritical-
ly pretend to be artists.
Poor Grau in our discussion said
that he went at music as a certain
perfumer went at perfumes-not with
the primary idea of producing some
thing excellent, but with the primary
idea of producing something novel,
bizarre. profitable.
This perfumer, he explained, said
n day gayly to a friend:
"Hurrah! I'm doing a pushing bust
ness. I'll be rich in a year. I've in
vented a e perfume that smells
just like gasoline
But said his friend, 'but--I

AN OLD EDITOR

The editor of a paper out in Okla,
said: Eyes, it is true when 1 got hold
of Grape-Nuts food, it was worth
more than a $4,000 doctor bill to me,
for it made me a we'll man. l have
gained % pounds in weight, my
strength has returned tenfold, my
brain power has been given back to
me, and that is an absolute essential,
for l am an editor and have been for
35 years.
MY pen shall always be ready to
speak a good word for this powerful
nutritive food. / had of course often
read the advertisements regarding
Grape-Nuts, but never thought to ap-
ply the food to my own use, until, in
my extremity and sickness the thought
came to me that it might fit my case.
The statements in regard to the food
are absolutely correct, as | have proven
in my own case. One very fortunate
thing about the food is that while it is

Cure by Cuticura Remedies.

my son, who is now twenty-five
years Of age, when four months old
began to have eczema on his face,
spreading quite rapidly until he was
nearly covered. The eczema was some
thing terrible, and the doctors said it
was the worst case they ever saw. At
times his whole body and face were
covered. all but his feet. l used many
kinds of patent medicines, to no avail.
A friend leased me to try Cuticura.
At last l decided to try Cuticura when
my boy was three years and four
months old, having had eczema all that
time and suffering untold misery. l
began to use all three of the Cuticura
Remedies. He was better in two
months; in six months he was we'll.

CHOICE OF TWO EVILS.
Request That Was by No Means a
Compliment for Papa.

A New York scientist, the father of
a large and growing family, has his
troubles. One evening his youngest
was holding forth in her best style.
The mother could do nothing with the
child, so the man of science went to
the rescue.
Il think I can quiet little Flora" he
said. There's no use humming to her
in that silly way. What she wants is
real music. The fact that | used to
sing in the Glee club at Yale and sang
we'll, too, may make a difference.
Accordingly, the professor took the
child and, striding up and down the
room, sang in his best manner. He
had not finished the second verse of
his song, when a ring was heard. The
door was opened, and there stood a
girl of IA, who said:
I'm one of the family that's just
moved into the fiat next to yours.
There's a sick person with us, and he
says, if it's ell the same to you, would
you mind letting the baby cry instead
of singing to it?"-Success.

Tea Smoking Centuries Old.

With your tea cigarettes" said the
antiCuary sternly, you young ladies
think yourselves very modern and de-
cadent. But look here"
He took from a portfolio a French
print of the seventeenth century that
portrayed two men, with cumbersome
silver pipes, charging the same from a
box of China tea,
"This shows you," the old man said,
1.-THE antiquity of tea smoking. 1t was
a common thing in France 200 years
ago. Blegnt mentions it, and Grand
d'Aussay, in his Historic de la Vie
Privee des Francais,' described it in
detail.
IAN old vice, a dead vice-for the
French found that tee smoking racked
the nerves; how very foolish you girls
are to have revived it."

One of the narrow arches in the
gallery of the chapel at Columbia uni
versity is not exactly symmetrical, al
though the defect is not noticeable to
the casual observer, says the New
York Globe. The reason for the wild
ening of the arch after it's original con
struction had rise in a somewhat
humorous occurrence. One of the
early visitors was a remarkably fat
man, who found himself wedged into
the arch when he tried to squeeze
through and was extricated with diff
Guilty. The builders, recognizing the
possibility of other fat people being
numbered among the future visitors,
decided to widen the arch, sacrificing
symmetry and harmony to practical
need, as the pier was so constructed
as to bear no loss of width on one Of
it's sides.
