BATHING AN INDIAN IDOL.
Curious Ceremony Attended by Thou
sands of Devout Pilgrims.

Thousands OF pilgrims from the va
rious outlying villages and other parts
Of the Hooghly district poured in from
an early hour in the morning to the
temples of Jagernath, says the Cal
cutta Statesman.
The image Of the god is placed on
a conspicuous part Of the temple. SO
that 1t can be viewed at an advantage
by the immense crowd OF pilgrims.
and there at a certain fixed hour the
bathing ceremony commences.
The most curious part Of the festi-
val is that water is not poured on the
image Of the god until certain small
bird is found sitting on the topmost
banner of the temple. There is pop
ular belief that the bird comes from
Puri, the famous place of Hindu pilgrim.
age, to Maheoh on the day of this
festival, and his very presence is an
indication that the ceremony should
commence. Immediately after the
bath the bird disappears.

1.-THE PALE GIRL"
Did Not Know Coffee Was the Cause.

In cold weather some people think

warm So it is-for a short time but
the drug-caffeine-acts on the heart

action is to cause more cnilliness.
There is hot wholesome drink

She says:
Having lived for five years in N.
Oak. l have used considerable coffee
owing to the cold climate. AS a re-
suit 1 had dull headache regularly,
suffered from Indigestion, and had no
life in me.
II was known as the pale GIRL and
people thought l was just weakly.
After time l had heart trouble and
became very nervous, never knew
what it was to be real well. Took med
icine but it never seemed to do any
good.
Since being married my husband
and 1 both have thought coffee was
harming us and we would quit, only to
begin again, although we felt 1t was
the same as poison to us.
Then we got some Postum. Well,
the effect was really wonderful. My
complexion is clear now, headache
gone, and have a great deal of en-
ergy l had never known while drink

Marine insurance is the oldest kind
Of modern insurance. Its principles
were first employed in the fourteenth
century by the merchants Of BARGE

About the same time, and also at
