OF the events that had brought me to
my present position.

Peruvian AguaPdiente.

Peru is an immense country and
in one section of it, known as the
Tambo valley, the principal produc~
tion is aguardiente, which is made
from the juice of sugar and contains
twenty per cent. alcohol. Consul
General s. M. Taylor says that this
liuuor Is consumed largely by the Pc
ruvian Indians and so many Of them
die from the effects OF 1t that the
population is materially decreasing.
The valley is located so high that only
the natives enjoy good health there
hence it would be difficult to find en-
igrants to replace the natives, as
would seem necessary at an early
date. In the valley there is one good
plant for making cane sugar ana
aguardiente, but all the rest are quite
primitive in their construction.
More or less rice is produced. IN
the same valley, and 1t Is said, that
the grain is large and sweet In flavor
and. when bolted it augments mucn
more than any other kind. 1t always
commands a higher price than any
other rice. 1t Is stated incidentally
that there is only one good rice mill
in the valley Of Tambo, and that IS
from the United States. The others
are primitive wooden stamp mills
driven by water wheels.-Louislana
Planter.

BEGAN YOUNG
8. Had Coffee Nerves" From Youth.

when very young began using
coffee and continued up to the past
six months" writes a Texas girl.
Il had been exceedingly nervous,
thin and very sallow. After quitting
coffee and drinking Postum Food
Coffee about month my nervousness
disappeared and has never returned.
This is the more remarkable as I am
a Primary teacher and have kept
right orr-%ith my work.
MY complexion now is clear and
rosy, my skin soft and smooth. AS a
good complexion was something l had
greatly desired, l feel amply repaid
even tho this were the only benefit
derived from drinking Postum.
Before beginning lts use / hal
suffered greatly from indigestion and
headache; these troubles are now un-
known.
BEST of all, changed from coffee
to Postum without the slightest in
convenience, did not even Lave a
headache. Have known coffee drink
ers who were visiting me, to use Pos
tum week without being aware that
they were not drinking coffee.
IL have known several to begin the
use Of Postum and drop it because
they did not boil it properly. After
explaining how it should be prepared
they have tried it again and pro-
nounced it delicious"

CoIored Gloves Barred.

The edict has gone forth that COL
ored gloves are barred for the COM
ing season, and nothing but white,
black, and, possibly, pearl gray will
be worn. This sweeping decree Is
brought out in an effort to make the
fall toilets harmonious, for bright
colored gloves would be an almost
impossible accessory with the vivid
shades in dresses that are to be used.
And to avoid any jarring tone in a
costume, black, white or pearl gray
hand coverings seem to be the only
choice.

Sleeves For BlOuSes.

Blouses have long sleeves oftener
than they have short ones; in the
very fine lingerie ones and the chiffon
ones for cloth suits some of the new
sleeves are those created by Bern
hardt decades ago, and which she
made her own. They wrinkle from
elbow to knuckle, and are so tight
that they are buttoned after the arm
has been slipped in. They are cut to
a point at the knuckles and edged
with lace.

there are innumerable ones that
might be utilized for this design. The
same fabric and one fabric on an

to produce exceedingly novel effects.
Applied bands Stimulating tucks are
very fashionable, landings put in
some geometrical form are well liked,
straight rows are in every way cor

New York City.-The Elton jacket

one with it is one of the latest devel-
opments of the Mandarin idea. This
one is distinctly novel, the sleeves be-

only, but also for the coming season.

Mauve, white and tan colored
tailor mades are coming more and
more into vogue with young women
who have not carriages and automo-

Monster Autos Losing Favor.

The tenth automobile exposition at
the Grand Palace, in Paris, was in
augurated by President Fallieres. 1t
is noticeable for the great increase in
the number of low-powered, mod

popularity of the monsters in size and
speed is evidenced by the reduced
number exhibited and the general cut
in prices Of from thirty to forty per
cent.
