ONE ON THE DOCTOR.
St. Peters Query Decided Reflection
on Medical Attendant.

Dr. Arthur T. Holbrook told story
on his profession.
"A man by the name of Evans died"
he said, land went to heaven, of
course. When he arrived at the pearly
gates he said to St Peter:
well, I'm here

his name. John Evans was the reply

A Woman,s DUTY.

The woman of taste keeps abreast
of the fashions in a way-that is, she
drops wornout styles and adopts what
ever new ones she can adapt to her
use. If she can afford it she patron
ICES first-class dressmakers and gets
her moneys worth by wearing her
clothes two or three seasons without
losing her prestige as a well-dressed
woman. There is an advantage in
this method, as you can see, and l
have been told by women who use
1t that there is economy as well.
1t is no economy to save at the ex-
pense of good looks. 1t is a woman's
duty to look her best, duty she owes
to her family If she can secure it
by small expenditure, so much the
better, but to save by accepting shah
biness is not creditable save in dire
stress of circumstances. Poverty is
an excuse for shabbiness and nothing
else is accepted by the world, save in
the rare cases of shabby millionaires

may be dispensed with. The box
stands on one side and bars of wood
are fixed across the interior in the
manner shown. This is easily done,
the bars of wood are carefully cut to
fit, and nails run through from the out
side of the case to hold them in their
places. The heels of the shoes rest
over the upper bars, and the toes on
the lower, a much better plan than
placing the shoes on the floor if they
should happen to be damp, as the soles
are exposed to the air and dry much
more quickly than they would on
shelf or the ground. A curtain made
of some pretty piece of drapery can
be tackled to the upper edge of the
box. and while hiding the contents
from view, it is easily lifted when any
of the boots or shoes are required.
The sides also may be draped, and
pot with fern or other ornaments
may find a place on the top.

"One day We noticed that our little
boy was all broken out with itching
Sores We first noticed it on his little
hands. His hands were not as bad
then, and we didn't think anything
serious would result. But the next day
we heard of the Cuticura Remedies
being so good for itching sores. By
this time the disease had spread all
over his body, and his hands were
nothing but solid mass of this itch
ing disease. l purchased box of Cuti-
cura Soap and one box of Cuticura
Ointment, and that night l took the
Cuticura Soap and lukewarm water
and washed him well. Then l dried
him and took the Cuticura Ointment
and anointed him with it. l did this

til the dirt comes out. After freeing it
from dust and all blemishes, put it
into clean gasoline in which there is a
drop of bluing. Spread the fan out on
a piece of white cloth, pin the two
points to stretch the material, and let
it dry. After it has thoroughly dried,
cover with talcum powder highly

The Vital Point.

Judge Gillette was one of the most
dignified of old-fashioned jurists. One
day he was holding court at county
seat in a rather out-of-themain-road
county, when a violent hubbub in the
hallway interrupted proceedings in the
courtroom. After quieting the dis
turbance, the sheriff returned to report
to the judge. 1T was two men fight

therefore, when the judge beckoned
him to the desk, and bending down,

1t is no excuse to say that the poor

Even if bona fide invitation has

strange to the cook, will be prepared

Your hostess must have time to her

diplomatic excuse about letters to
write or a novel in which you are very
much interested, or friend who will
be quite hurt If you do not call upon

The Candy Girl

He was one of those sentimental
chaps who imagine the only way to
capture girls heart is to send her
volumes of poetry. Selecting a book
of seasonable verse he sent it to his
lady fair with the following scribbled
on the fly-leaf:
Dearest. as I seek your heart,
A book of verse do impart!'
And the pretty but sensible girl,
who did not care a rap if Shakespeare
had been a pirate instead of a poet.
returned the verses with the following
lines:

DROPPED COFFEE
Doctor Gains 20 Pounds on Postum.

A physician of Wash, D. c., says of
his coffee experience:
For years l suffered with periodical
headaches which grew more frequent
until they became almost constant. So
severe were they that sometimes was
almost frantic. l was sallow, consti-
pated, irritable, sleepless; my men,
ory was poor, l trembled and my
thoughts were often confused.
my wife, in her wisdom, believed
coffee was responsible for these ills
and urged me to drop it. 1 tried many
times to do so, but was it's slave.
Finally Wife bought a package of
Postum, and persuaded me to try it, but
she made it same as ordinary coffee
and l was disgusted with the taste.
Il make this emphatic because l fear
many others have had the same expe-
rience) She was distressed at her
failure and we carefully read the d.
rections, made it right, boiled it full
Is minutes after boiling commenced,
and with good cream and sugar,
liked tit invigorated and seemed to
nourish me.
This was about year ago. Now
have no headaches, am not sallow,
sleeplessness and irritability are gone,
my brain clear and my head steady.
1 have gained 20 lbs. and feel / am a
new man.
Il do not hesitate to give Postum
due credit. OF course dropping coffee
was the main thing, but had dropped
it before, using chocolate, cocoa and
other things to no purpose.
Postum not only seemed to act as
an invigorant, but as an article Of
nourishment, giving me the needed
phosphates and albumens. This is no
imaginary tale. 1t can be substanti-
ated by my wife and her sister, who
both changed to Postum and are
hearty women of about 70.
Il write this for the information and
encouragement of others, and with a
feeling of gratitude to the inventor Of
Postum"

The dead mans skull was crushed
In Just above the right eye and also

Loaga had recently bought an in
terest in saloon in Scofield conduct-
ed by Tassio Brothers, and since his
ADVENT into business there had been
continuous rough house. Almost
nightly dances were given in the
building. attended by Austrian men
and women.
During the progress of the dance
Saturday evening the murdered man
entered the saloon and advanced
through a door to the dancing floor,
Here he is said to have dnterfered
with both men and women, when Lo-
aga came from behind the bar and
with others elected Bertz through
the front door.
Loaga then stepped inside the
door, and. grabbing the scantline
used as bar for the door, began his
murderous work. Later he returned
with the bloody bludgeon to behind
the bar and was shaking dice and
testing with companions when
friend OF the dead man coming into
the saloon ran onto the lifeless BODY.
The onicers were notified, and Loa-
gas arrest followed.
An inquest was held which practi-
cahy establishes Loaga's guilt. Lo-
aga was brought to Price with two
OF his companions, John Witch and

three are In Jail.
