Tired nerves with that mo ambition"
feeling that is commonly felt in spring or
early summer can be easily and and quick
ly altered by taking what is known to drug
gists everywhere as DR.. Shoop's Restora-
tive. One will absolutely note a changed
feeling within 4s hours after beginning to
take the Restorative. The bowels get slug
gish in the winter time, the circulation
often slows up, the kidneys are inactive
and even the heart in many cases grows de-
cidedly weaker. DIR. shoops Restorative is
recognized everywhere as genuine tonic
to these vital organs. 1t builds up and
strengthens the worn-out weakened nerves;
1t sharpens the failing appetite and univer-
sally aids digestion. 1t always quickly
brings renewed strength, life, vigor and am
bition. Try 1t and be convinced. Sold by

tended by forty-two tables of players
and q large number of oplookers. The
handsome articles donated for prizes
had been exhibited at the entrance Of
the pier on the preceding Wednesday

ton and favorable comment that there
is no doubt, had the weather been fair,
that the room would have been taxed
to its utmost capacity to accommodate
those desiring to participate. AS it was

braved the storm to attend the party

jewelry and other articles of personal
Advancement, the winner of the first
prize, George E. Mousley, wisely lis
tened to the practical suggestions, not
to say clamors of the inner man and
announced as his choice the tastefully
arranged box of delicate and tempting
edibles that had been generously do
mated by the proprietor of the Delika-
lessen Shopon Pacific avenue Among
the non-playing participants who were
lucky in the cutting for prizes were

Mrs. Belle Guinness near the Indiana

covered on her premises and the fact
that expressmen had many times de-

the chief materials for the construction
of the strange story of her career She

murder 'fence" for the benefit of her
partners in the awful trade of human
slaughter, the latter operating In Chi
csago and sending the bodies of their
victims to her for burial. 1t is the
theory of the prosecution that Mrs.
Guinness deliberately lured men to
her farm by means of an advertisement
In Chicago newspaper, in which she
represented herself as an attractive and
amiable widow looking for mate. She
alleged that she was the owner of
valuable farm and sought a well-to-do

COFFEE AS WEDDING GIFT.

Peculiar Custom Which Is General
tn Concentrating Countries.
1--WE have a custom in the coffee
raising countries said Senior Joaquin
Nabucco, the Brazilian ambassador to
the United States, (which is unknown
in other parts Of the world. When
a child is born in the coffee country,
sack of the best grain is set aside
as part of the inheritance, to be re-
ceived on attaining its majority. Usu-
ally the sack is the gift from some
close friend or relative, and it is
guarded as sacredly as If it were a
gift of gold or bonds No stress would
induce a Brazilian parent to use cof-
fee which was made the birth gift of
child. AS a rule it is sealed with
the private seal of the owner and bears
a card giving all particulars about the
variety of grain, its age on being sack
ed and the birth of the child to whom
it is given, and other details which
are very interesting when the gift is
due.
Generally the coffee is opened for
the first time when the child marries
The coffee for the reception or mar
riage feast is made from the legacy,
and, according to precedent. this must
be the first time the sack is opened.
After the coffee is made for the we'd
ding feast the sack is carefully closed
and sent to the new home of the young
couple, and should keep them in this
staple for year at least. When both
bride and bridegroom have the birth
gift of coffee they have started life
under very hopeful conditions, so far
as one necessary is concerned. Few
people know that the older the I'M
parched grain of coffee is the better
the flavor. Like wine it grows with
age, and that which is over twenty
years mellowing under proper condi-
tions will bring from S1.50 to So a
pound from connosseurs The giving
of pounds of green coffee Is a COM
mon practice in the coffee belt. Friends
exchange these gifts and compare re-
suits. When one cannot afford to give
a sack of coffee it frequently is the
case that ten pounds of the best green
is packed in a fancy case and bestow-
ed on a newly born child, with direc-
lions that it must not be opened until
the wedding day.'-New York Press.

THE FRUITS OF RELIGION.

BY Henry F. Cope.
by their fruits ye shall know
them."-Matt. vii, 16.
There is honest inquiry rather than
ouerulous criticism In the question,
often asked, Why does not religion
produce a higher and stronger type of
moral character? Enthusiasm for the
teachings of Christ often is cooled by
contact with some flabby willed, mar
row minded professed follower of those
teachings.
1t is a common saying with business
men that It is hard to find man Of
absolute integrity, one who even meas
ures up TO the standards OF CONNER
cial honor among those who are relig-
GUS, either by vocation or avocation.
At any rate, it is true that certificate
of religious Affiliations by no means is
equivalent to a guarantee of high
moral worth.
Yet IT is easy to arrive at wrong
