MARK TWAIN ON MONEY. "
Humorlst Points Out What He consI6
ers Some Wrong Conceptions.

Mark Twain said that the financial
panic has caused a wrong idea OF the
use and value of money.
1.-THE spendthrift says that money.
being round. was made to roll. The
miser says that. being fat. 1t was
made to stack up. Both are wrong.
Strangely wrong. too. in their ideas
about money are the veteran Aus
tralian gold diggers. These simple
old fellows, though worth perhaps .
half million or more. live in the sim
pie dug-outs and shanties of their lean
early days.
Once, lecturing. landed at an Aus
tralian port. There was no porter In
sight to carry my luggage. Seeing .
rough-looking old fellow leaning
against post with his hands in his
pockets, beckoned to him and said:
"'See here. If you carry these bags

COSTLY PUBLIC
BUILDING BILL
PROVIDES FOR AN EXPENDITURE
OF THIRTY-TWo MILLION
DOLLARS.
PRESIDENT CAUTIOUS
MAY MAKE 1T A LEVER TO Sc.
CURE ANTl-lNJUNCTION

ington.-President Roosevelt
already has taken notice of the $780,
900 900 public building bill, although
that measure is still in conference be-
tween the two houses of Congress. He
asked Secretary Cortelyou to prepart
report on the measure to guide him
in determining whether to sign or veto
It.
Mr. Cortelyou is asked to include in
his report, first whether the condition
of the public funds justify so large an
expenditure for public buildings at
this time; second, the amount of flu
ture expenditures which will be made
necessary to complete the new pro-
jects authorized in the measure, and
third, an opinion based on the expert
judgment of the supervising architect
of the treasury, as to the necessity for
each of the projects provided for.
That there is connection between
the Presidents desire to be fully in
formed as to the public buildings bill
and his desire to have passed an anti
injunction bill and also his desire to
have bill passed to substitute ocean
mail steamers, is declared to be most
obvious.
1t is conceded that no measure
passed at this session is more tooth
some to members of both houses than
the public building bill. The prospect
of having this bill vetoed would cause
emphatic concern and alarm.
Meanwhile the President is contin-
uihg in personal work with members
to induce action on the anti-injunction
proposition and to persuade House
members that the Senate subsidy pro-
vision contained in the postoffice ap-
preparation bill should be accepted
The report, which Secretary Cortel-
you will lose no time in preparing, will
undoubtedly be convincing along it's
designed lines

FIT THE GROCER
Wife Made tho Suggestion.

A grocer has excellent opportunity
to know the effects Of special foods
on his customers. A Cleveland
grocer has a long list Of customers
that have been helped in health by
leaving of coffee and using Postum
Food Coffee.
He says, regarding his own sxps-
rience: 1.-TWO years ago had been
drinking coffee, and must say that
was almost wrecked in my nerves.
Particularly in the morning l was
30 irritable and upset that l could
hardly walt until the coffee was
served. and then had no appetite for
breakfast, and did not feel like at
tending to my store duties.
"One day my wife suggested that
inasmuch as was selling SO much
Postum there must be some merit in
1t and suggested that We try It. I
took homo package and she pro-
pared 1t according to directions. The
result was very happy one. My
nervousness gradually disappeared. and
today am all right, 1 would advise
everyone afflicted in any way with
nervousness or stomach troubles, to
leave of coffee and use Postum Food
Coffee" "There's a Reason" Head
