Remedy for Perspirine Hands.

Try this preparation for excessive
perspiration of the hands: Tincture
belladonna, one-half ounce; cologne
water, three ounces. Mix. Use the
liquid whenever you choose during the
day, and always after first washing
the hands in hot water and drying
them thoroughly and quickly. Rub To-
ton well into the skin. Keep mixture
out of the way of ignorant persons
and children. To strengthen and de-
yelop the muscles of the lower limbs,
practice the following exercise: Rise
on the toes, count five; lower the
body until the heels almost touch the
floor; repeat eight times, touching
the floor with the heels on the eighth
count. Repeat the same exercise, ris-
ing on the heels.

SAVED FROM MATERNAL WRATH.
Boys Fervent Prayer Was Answered
in the Nick of Time.

A suburbanite is fond Of telling this
story Of his five-year-old son Bobby.
Being of an inquiring turn of mind
the youngster one day managed to
turn On both faucets in the bathtub
to see what would happen. It CHANGED
that the stopper was in place, and the
tub rapidly filed up, to the great de-
light of Bobby. Finally, however, the
tub became so full that it threatened
to overflow on to the floor, and Bobby,
having proper respect for the mater
nal slipper, became frightened and
tried vainly to turn off the water. Be-
ing unable to, for some reason, he
gazed tearfully at the ever-rising food,
and then, mindful both of his religious
training and the occasional visits of
the plumber, he plunged down on his
knees, and his elder sister, who hap
pened to be passing at the moment,
heard him exclaim, fervently:
20, Lord, please stop this water
running! And, o, Lord, if you can't
do it, please send somebody that cant"
His prayer was answered, for his
sister rose to the occasion and turned
off the water and temporarily saved
Bobby from the much-feared slipper.

DROPPED COFFEE
Doctor Gains 20 Pounds on Postum

A physician of Wash, D. c., says of
his coffee experience:
For years l suffered with periodical
headaches which grew more frequent
until they became almost constant. So
severe were they that sometimes was
almost frantic. I was salloW, consti-
pated, irritable, sleepless; my mem
DRY was poor, trembled and my
thoughts were often confused.
my, wife, in her wisdom, believed
coffee was responsible for these ills
and urged me to drop it. tried many
times to do so, but was it's slave.
Finally Wife bought package Of
Postum, and persuaded me to try it, but
she made it same as ordinary coffee
and I was disguised with the taste.
q make this emphatic because / fear
many others have had the same expe-
rience.) She was distressed at her
failure and we carefully read the d.
rections, made it right, boiled it full
Is minutes after boiling commenced,
and with good cream and sugar, I
liked tit invigorated and seemed to
nourish me-
This was about year ago. Now I
have no headaches, am not sallow,
sleeplessness and irritability are gone,
my brain clear and my head steady.
I have gained 20 lbs. and feel am a
new man.
Il do not hesitate to give Postum
due credit. Of course dropping coffee
was the main thing, but had dropped
it before, using chocolate, cocoa and
other things to no purpose.
Postum not only seemed to act as
an invigorant, but as an article of
nourishment, giving me the needed
phosphates and albumens. This is no
imaginary tale. It can be substanti-
ated by my wife and her sister, who
both changed to Postum and are
hearty women of about 70.

The Spring Woods.

Hdrper's Weekly of May 2, contains
an essay on "The Spring Woods" which
this editor believes to be without par

ture as a finished picture of the glories
of an American spring. Spring is beau
tiful everywhere, but this writer makes an
amazing discovery in pointing out that
as September is the period of greatest
glories of New England hills, "when just
little forcasting tinge of frost is in the
air. glinting white over the meadows in
the early morning, just by the way of
adding glitter to the flashing pageant of
the autumn leaves" so the spring is the
time to HE ones self to "the Southern

this masterpiece of word painting too
long for reproduction here, but the open

further beauties within the heart of this

An Apology.

Our monthly Spread of local and
other doings and sayings as set forth in
these columns has been misinterpreted by
a we'll meaning neighbor, who writes that
he is tired of it. What are we to do
with the few recalcitrant ones as against
so many loyal supporters who insist that
THE PALIsADIAN has made progress, and
who urge it on to renewed effort? These
paragraphs are not gossip in the ordin-
airy sense, dear ones, but merely a feast,
so to speak, served without garnishment
or tempting sauces, but, withal, with
good intent and relish.
Now and then a bit of grit comes
when the spinach won't wash clean, and
the morsel is repellant. But in the main
the reader finds here no bad motive nor
worse manners, yet at times uninviting
utterances. 1t takes keen wit to steer
always clear of breakers, and our little
barque sails in shallow waters. Then,
too, the shores are lined with projecting
obstacles. But these are gradually being
overcome, and soon we hope to serve you
with better viands and with trimmings
to your liking. In the meantime, our
task is not an important one, and could
be relinquished with no greater pang
than that one should have cavilled at
our banquet which is served freely and
without reward. May we not crave in
diligence until Palisade grows?
