For behold! She produces a freezing

vanilla and strawberry ice, alternated
with layers of crushed marrone glaces!

Order of the Golden Horseshoe.

How many persons have. ever heard
Of the Order of the Golden Horseshoe,
the first order founded in America?
In 1924, when Virginia extended
from the Atlantic into the unknown
west, few of her colonists had crossed
the Blue Ridge or the Alleghenies. So
full of dangers from savages and wild
beasts and SO full Of natural difficult
ties was the massage Of these terrible
heights, that Gov. Spotswood, setting
out to discover a pass, looked on the
expedition as so hazardous that he
took with him a guard of soldiers,
gentlemen and pioneers" armed and
carrying provisions. These scaled the
pass with great hardships and perils,
and returned after the governor had
cut the name of King George in the
rocks on the highest peak.
He then constituted the society, or
order, Of the Golden Horseshoe. Each
man who had scaled this high pass
was made a member Of it, and to each
one he presented a golden horseshoe.
On the side was inscribed in Latin;
$50 it pleases him to cross noun
tains."
Any man thereafter who could prove
that he had read with his own eyes
the name of the king on the height
was entitled to become a member Of
this order.-Sunday Magazine.

COFFEE DRINKING
A Doctor says it weakens the Heart.

TN my opinion says a well known
German physician, mo one can truth
fully say that coffee agrees with him,
as it has long since been proven that
caffeine, contained in coffee, is an in
furious, poisonous substance which
weakens and ~degenefates the heart
muscles.
For this al the regular use Of
coffee, soon or late, causes a condition
Of undernourishment, which leads to
various kinds of organic disease.
Convinced of this fact, / have often
sought for some healthful beverage to
use instead Of coffee. At last / found
the thing desired In Postum. Having
had occasion to forbid people using
coffee, whose hearts were affected, /
have recommended Postum as a bev
erage, since 1t is free from all injuri-
II or exciting substances. / know
this from results in my own family,
and among patients.
Hundreds Of persons who now use
Postum in place OF coffee, are greatly
benefited thereby" There's a Reason

my baby niece was suffering from
that terrible torture, eczema. 1t was

care for a year and a half and he
seemed to do her no good. took her
to the best doctor in the city and he
said that she would have the sores
until she was six years old. But if ]

Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment
and she was cured in three months.
