THEY GROW.
Good Humor and CheerfuIness from
Right Food.

Cheerfulness is like sunlight. 1t dis
pels the clouds from the mind as sun
light chases way the shadows of
night.
The good humored man can pick
up and carry off a load that the man
with a crouch wouldn't attempt to
lift.
Anything that interferes with good
health is apt to keep cheerfulness and
good humor in the background. A
Washington lady found that letting
coffee alone made things bright for
her. She writes:
-Four years ago I was practically
given up by my doctor and was not
expected to live long. My nervous
system was in a bad condition.
But l was young and did not want
to die so l | began to look about for the
cause of my chronic trouble. l used
to have nervous spells which would
exhaust me and after each spell it
would take me days before l could sit
up in a chair.
Il became convinced my trouble
was caused by coffee. I decided to
stop it and bought some Postum.
The first cup, which l made ac-
cording to directions, had a soothing
effect on my nerves and l liked the
taste. For a time l nearly lived on
Postum and ate little food besides. I
am today a healthy woman.
my family and relatives wonder
if l am the same person l was four
years ago, when l could do no work on
account of nervousness. Now I am do
ing my own homework. take care of
two babies-one twenty, the other two
months old. l am so busy that l hard
ly get time to write a letter, yet l do
1t ell with the cheerfulness and good
humor that from enjoying good
health.

I owe my life today"

ATALE OF.

The romantic drama, 1.-THE Flying
Arrow" will be the attraction at the
opera house Sunday night. The play
is by Lincoln J. Garter and it is claim
ed that it is one of the truest pic
lures of western life the stage has
so far seen, depicting army life and
frontier realism in and about famous
and historical old Fort Reno, the scene
of SO many stirring incidents in the
pioneer days of the great west, when
Indians and buffalo were so plentiful
as they now are scarce. The story
of the love of Chief White Eagle for
Mary Fremont. daughter of the COM
mander of the post, is founded on an
actual fact. All of the other charac-
ters are drawn from living prototypes.
There is a treacherous, polished vii
Ian, a fun-loving Irish corporal and
his sweetheart and many other dra-
matte and numerous incidents. The
scenic effects are described as being
especially elaborate, several of them
being facsimilies of historical places.
A fully capable cast win be seen in
this charming play.
