THE FIRST TASTE

If parents realized the fact that
which is especially harmful tn e,,lil-
dren, they would doubtless hesitate
before giving the babies coffee to
drink.
when l was a child in my moth
er's arms and first began to nibble
things at the table, mother used to
give me sips of coffee. AS my parents
used coffee exclusively at meals l new
er knew there was anything to drink
but coffee and water.
And so l contracted the coffee
habit early. l remember when quite
young, the continual use of coffee so
affected my parents that they tried
roasting wheat and barley, then
ground 1t in the coffee-mill, as SUBJ
stitute for coffee.
But 1t did not taste right and
then went back to coffee again. That
was long before Postum was ever

EATING TOO MUCH.

An old proverb says: Spare the
dinner, spare the Doctor Like
many other homely sayings, it is to
the point. Some of the foremost
physicians shake their heads gravely
and say, People eat too much They
have grown into the habit of unques-
tionably eating all that is set before
them, and then, rather surprised.
they resent any reference to this as
"overeating." Elaborate meals are
prepared in this day of plenty and
people thoughtlessly indulge their
appetite. The digestive system is re-
sponsible. for nearly every ill the
flesh is heir to. Nothing upsets it
more quickly or weakens its vitality
more than having too much work to
do. There is a rule-simple enough,
but hard to follow-that will save
many a disordered system. 1t is up
held by wise doctors. 1t is this:
Always leave a meal feeling that you
could have eaten, could have en-
joyed, a little more. - Indianapolis

GODS AND WOMEN.

The gods, deeming themselves
quite shrewd and clever, no doubt,
bestowed on woman lips with which,
by keeping them shut, she might
make her mouth like a rosebud. But
what happens? The trap proves in
effectual and woman proceeds to ell
nance her charm, while at the same
time having her own way about it,
by using those very lips to say mo-
with when she means yes.
So, too, her nose. The gods in
tended this to add character to her
face, but she never rested until she
had learned 10 blow smoke through
it.
Everybody knows how it is with
the eyes given to her to see, and the
ears given her to hear. She wears
stylish glasses on the one and hangs
the chain back over the other.
All of which must make the gods
suspect that they're not so much in
the creative way, after all.-Ramsey
Benson, in Puck.

Nature Presses Toward Fruitage.

NATURE ITcSSCS uie'SVs
Ripe fruit, which is the immutable
promise and purpose of God, is the
end of patient process. After a long
and trying pause young spring, like
a hope of God, returns; but the end
is not yet. 1t is the season of new
breath, new motion and new birth.
Everything is astir under the new,
universal excitement. The earth, like
a bride, puts on her beautiful attire.
She blooms and sings. But bloom
and songs are not the end. By her
beauty music she announces the eX-
quisite end toward which she is NOV
ing. She will not pause until she has
produced her fruit, nor then until her
fruit is full-orbed and mellow. She
reckons nothing less than ripe fruit
to be her fitting crown. Nothing less
will satisfy God. Thou crownest the
year with Thy goodness.-John Pulls

Conscience Not an Information Bureau

conscience MOI an lnIOfiDallOH bureau
If conscience is a safe guide to
what is right and wrong then the
Bible is not needed. There is no
halfway ground here. for a guide
that needs guidance is no guide at
all. And as a matter of fact, con-
science is not a guide, and because
so many souls mistakenly think it is,
confused and wandering errors in the
pathway of life are constantly made.
Conscience is monitor. 1t prompts
and prods; it urges DO what you
know to be right; do not do what you
know to be wrong" But it does not
instruct us in what is right and what
is wrong; it is not a bureau of in
formation. That instruction we re-
ceive from God in many different
ways, of which the Bible and the
training of parents and teachers are
some. Therefore it will not 90 to
settle back in the easy assurance that
we have a safe guide in conscience,

Nose, the darky cook of party of
surveyors in Eastern Texas, was
greatly annoyed by the razor-back
hogs that roamed around the camp.
One evening, while he was at the

of these 'piny wood rooters" raided
the cook tent and ate everything
that was edible and some other
things that weren't.
For several moments after his re-
turn from the spring Nose could find
no words to express his feelings.
