COFFEE EYES.
1t Acts Slowly But Frequently Pro-
duces Blindness.

The curious effect of slow daily poi
soning and the gradual building in Of
disease as a result, is shown in num-
bers of cases where the eyes are af-
fected by coffee.
A case in point will illustrate:
A lady in Oswego, Mont, expert
enced a slow but sure disease settling
upon her eyes in the form of increas-
ing weakness and shooting pains
with wavy, dancing lines of light, so
vivid that nothing else could be seen
for minutes at time.
She says:
This gradual failure of sight
alarmed me and naturally began a
very earnest quest for the cause.
About this time I was told that cof-
fee poisoning sometimes took that
form, and while I didn't believe that
coffee was the cause of my trouble, I
concluded to quit it and see.
Il took up Postum Food Coffee in
spite of the JOKES of Husband whose
experience with one cup at a neigh

made Postum strictly according to d.

Lives Up to Turkish Customs,

Tertiary in name only, the august but
procrastinating sultan of Turkey, has
sent Mehmed Ali Bey to represent him
in Washington. Chekib Bey is a
widower. Nine. Mehmed Ali Bey is
therefore only the second high-class
Turkish woman to come to this colin-
try as diplomatic hostess. The first,
Nine. Ali Ferrough Bey. was a bride.
and it was in difference to this fact
that the sultan permitted her to es-
tablish a precedent for her country,

Cats il Governmsnt Emnlox.

among the many expenditures of
the United States government each
year there is one that is far more pc.
culiar than that of any other country
In the world" said an employe of the
postofice department the other day.
But few people are aware of the fact
that Uncle Sam annually appropriates,
through the postofice department, a
small sum of money for the support of
an army OF cats In number of his
postof1ees throughout the country.
The money is used to buy food for the
Selines, though this seems somewhat
of a reflection upon their ability to
catch rats and mice, for which pur-
pose they are kept in the postof1ces.
At times much trouble is caused by
the rodents gnawing the mail pouches
and opening mail addressed to anoth-
er person, regardless of the peniten-
tiary penalty usually imposed upon
human beings for such an act. 1t
has been found that the cats cannot
live entirely on rat dainties, ana milk
and meat must be supplied them at In
tervaIs. The average cost OF the
cat food at a postoffice where they are
kept is about $18 per year. Uncle
Sam has detachments Of his cat army
stationed at the postofices at Little
Rock, Ark; Los Angeles, CAL; New
Haven, Conn; Minneapolis, Mimi;
Binghamton, N. Y; New York, N. T.;
Portland, Ore, and Norfolk, Va.

THE PAINTING SEASON,

Good results in painting at the least
cost depend largely upon the material
chosen. Paint is simple compound
and the ingredients can be easily test
ed. The solid part or pigment should
be White Lead. The LIQUID part
should be Linseed Oil. Those best in
formed on painting always buy these
ingredients separately and have their
painter mix them fresh for each Job.
Before the mixing the test is made.
Place a pea-sized bit of White Lead
on piece of charcoal or piece Of
wood. Blow the fame against it and
see what it will do. If it is pure
White Lead, little drops of bright, pure
metallic lead will appear, and with pa
tience the White Lead can be COM
pletely reduced to one globule of metal
lie lead. This is because pure White
Lead is made from metallic lead.
You may test dozens of other so.
called White Leads and not be able
to reduce one Of them to lead. If they
will not change wholly to lead but
leave a residue, it is clear that some
adulterant is present.
II you should have your painting
done with such materials, no matter
how cheap they might seem, it would
be costly in the end.
National Lead Company, Wood
bridge Building, New York City, are
sending on request blowpipe free to
any one about to have painting done.
so that the White Lead may be test
ed. With it will be sent handsomely

This little painter has become noted
as the guaranty of pure White Lead.
