or do we not owe M

SHOWED THE MINISTER
And Got Him in Line.

Tn minister's family in Los Ange- les, where was visiting some time ago the wife complained of serious indiges- ton and dyspepsia. She admitted that she used coffee and said she more than half believed that was the trouble. told her that I knew it was, for I had gone through with the experience my sele and had only been cured when I left off coffee and took up Postum Food Coffee.
 "She said she had tried the Postum both for herself and her husband, but they did not like it. With her permis- sion I made Postum next morning n.y. self, and boiled 1t full fifteen minutes after the real boiling of the pot began. Then when it was served it was rich, deer brown color and had the true flaw our and food value that every Postum maker knows. It is all folly to talk about trying to make Postum with one or two minutes sleeping.
 ''You can't get something good for nothing. Postum must be well boiled, and to keep it from boiling over use a small lump of butter, perhaps twice
 
 the size of a pea. That morning the minister and his wife liked Postum so well that their while lives were changed on the question of diet and they aban- doned coffee at once and for all time.
 ''Now. after a hard days work, they are comforted. refreshed and rested by a cup of well-made Postum for supper. They are both enthusiastic in it's praise. The wife has entirely recovered from her dyspepsia. will not go into the details of my own case, except to say that I was a desperate sufferer with dyspepsia and discovered by leaving off coffee that coffee was the cause of it. I quickly got well when took up Post um Food Coffee. I earnestly hope many more coffee drinkers may gSvt their eyes open" Read, "The Road te Melville, 9 in pkgs, There's a Reasoa"

FREAK WEATHER
In Years Gone By---some Cold Ancient Streaks--In 1s16 Frosts Occurred
 in Every Month.

It will probably be noticed by a good many persons that, while the weather forecasters are able to pre- dict the coming of the various cold waves which have made up this spring so far, they maintain dense silence as to the reason why these cold waves continue, says the Hartford Courant. They simply know that the cold waves are on the way and an- nounce their coming. So far as the causes of them are concerned the weather man knows as little as the cave dwellers or the Indians did.
 It is fair to suppose that nInety-nine out of every 100 residents of Hartford are willing to affirm that they never knew as backward a season, but, as a matter of act, killing frost occurred on the morning of May 30, 1884, when | the damage done was far more than could be sustained by a similar frost Thursday morning. Stlll, it is forgot ten in the discomforts attendant upon the weeks weather.
 For the record cold season, so far as l New England is concerned, it is neces- sary to go back to 1916, when frosts occurred every month In the year. An excellent account of the vagaries of the thermometer is found in the print ed journal of Rev. pr, Thomas Rob- bins, then pastor at East Windsor. He kept a diary which covered over half century and which was kept with that care which only a man foreor- dained and predestined to the work could give. His work indicates that the season was fairly up to the aver age on the month of April, for on April 30, 1S16, he records that he cut his first asparagus.
 On May he writes: ''The fruit trees have a full blowth" If the entry re- fers to the blossoms it would indicate that the season was then about two weeks in advance of the present one, but on May 15 he recorded a severe frost that morning. The frost entry is repeated on May 17 and IS, which must have put the "blowth" out of business. Frosts also occurred on May 30 and S1.
 Dr. Robbins noted considerable frost" on the morning of June 10, and on June II. He writes that a frost that morning had killed the corn. So suddenly did the weather change however, that on June II he complains of the intense heat and for several weeks he had recorded his opinion that rain was needed and, undoubted- 1 ly, had prayed for it.
 On June 21 he writes that he plant ed watermelon seed, doubtless dis quieting himself in a vain show in view of what was to follow He then complains of another hot wave and on July 1, he writes that the family had green peas through the kindness of a neighbor. On July 6 he writes that it Ifs cold enough for frost. |" On July Is he records that "the wealth CT is very hot. I think I never saw the ground so dry" In almost the same breath he writes, Al the news papers are now publishing religious

DENATuRED ALCOHOL.
Congressman Hill says It Is Too Early to Judge of Workings of New Law.

Congressman E. J. Hill, in reply to a request by the Hartford Times for a statement concerning the extent to which denatured alcohol is now being used in the United States, and especial- ly among Connecticut manufacturers, and also inquiring as to the benefit, present and prospective, to be derived from the new law. says:
 T would state that it is hardly time as yet to reach a conclusion in regard to the matter. The law did not go into effect until the first day of January It is now the first of June Five months continuance of the law in operation would hardly be sufficient time to de- rive any conclusions from it whatever. The last time I inquired in regard to the consumption I was told that it in dicated' something over fifteen million gallons for the year, but shall be greatly surprised if, when the first year of the operation of the la wis closed, it does not show much larger use than | that.
 Furthermore, the lowering of the price of wood alcohol, which was for merly used as q substitute for the grain alcohol, from 70 cents to 40 cents a gallon or less, has thus far caused the continuance of the use of the for mer article in many cases where it could be used without serious injury to | the health of the user. I understand that it is also continued in use in some industries where it is internationally detrimental to the employees. It can only be a question of time when this practice will be stopped.
 T am advised that nearly if not all. of the hat factories of Danbury have substituted the denatured article for it's wood alcohol, and a full denaturing i'm dependent plant, as well as a recovery plant, is already in operation there. As soon as the supplementary law goes into effect, on September 1, there will Undoubtedly be others put into active operation in the state.''

proposed Scheme of Organization.

i. The name of this organization shall be the "Yale Alumni Musical as- sociation."
 2. It's object shall be the maintenance among the graduates of the musical in- terests connected with the Yale Glee, Banjo and Mandolin clubs association and of the customs and traditions of these clubs in the past; the Intolerance of all such interests by fostering a closer relation between the graduate and undergraduate members of these clubs; the perpetuation of the unique and delightful relationships formed while the various members were in college; and the creation of new rela- tionships of similar character. Among other things, the following shall be made the subject of concern:
 First: To obtain an independent and interested criticism of the work of the undergraduate musical organizations by means of communication with a central committee, or direct verbal communication at the rehearsals or concerts.
 Second: To assist the managers of the active clubs in arranging their iti- neraries of the Christmas and other trips, so that information of proposed concerts may be extended to Yale graduates and friends of Yale in the immediate community.
 Third: To encourage and induce more members to come to New Haven

Some One Anxious to Repay Service
 Done In Army.

The writer of the let ter is Jean Harris of Saginaw, Mich., who states he is acting for wealthy friends of Harrlng. He declares that in 1882 when Harring was a corporal in Company c, Fifth U s, Infantry, stationed at Fort Kehaugh, Mont, Harrng rendered some sort of service. just what is not even hinted al, but which some one is anxious to repay.
 The mayor found that until a year ago Harring had lived at IS Rosette street. His, present adress Is not posi- lively known but is thought 10 be Winsted, Conn

intelligence" Whether this action on the part of the newspapers was a re- suit of the dryness he did not say.
 Posterity, not his, learns through his writing that he picked the first cu- cumber of the year from the garden on August ,. He probably enjoyed them, though his stomach was none l of the best but. alas for the water melons, a frost occurred on the morn ing of August p. On August 20 he writes: Frost. It is a melancholy time: There was a fast here yester- day on account of the season." Even that did not affect the weather, for a | frost is recorded on the morning of September 23, and on the morning of i September 2S there occurred one which put an end to all crops for the season. Little if any corn ripened that year and the following spring the farmers had to send to southern points for seed corn. In view of this record the cold spell this spring is hardly worth noticing.
