o A MIRACLE

just Plain Cause and Eneef.
There are some quite remarkable
things happening every day. which
seem almost miraculous.
Some persons would not believe that
Il man could suffer from coffee drink
ing 8 severely as to cause spells of un-
consciousness. And to find complete
relief in changing from coffee to Pos
tum is we'll worth recording.
II used to be a great coffee drinker,
SO much SO that 1t was killing me by
inches. Ny heart became SO weak I
would fall and lie unconscious for an
hour at a time. The spells caught mr.
sometimes two or three times a day.
my friends, and even the doctor,
told me 1t was drinking coffee that
caused the trouble. l would not b.
lieve it, and still drank coffee until I
could not leave my room.
'sThen my doctor, who drinks Postum
himself, persuaded me to stop coffee
and try Postum. After much hesitation
[ concluded to try it. That was eight
months CO.. Since then I have had but
few of those spells. none for more than
four months.
II feel better, sleep better and am
better every way l now drink nothing
but Postum and touch no coffee, and
as I am seventy years OF age all my
friends think the improvement quite re-
markable."

A letter written by a decided .
contest for the office or president Of =
mems club In New York a few days ago.
There were two candidates for the place.
one a clerk In a New York financial in-
stitution, whose young wife had been .
working girl, the other a wealthy manu-
facturer, with a reputation among his
neighbors for "closeness." The day be-
fore the election each member OF the lit
tie club received a typewriter letter,
signed by q woman whom all knew, which
began with these words: IF what I
write you Is not true, 1t is libel" Then
she said that the club should not honor
Its ..meanest man. n related some
amusing incidents to demonstrate that she
was not mistaken In her estimate Of tho
man. In closing she wrote. What do
you think of a man who has his barn
painted and says to his wife: That's
your birthday present II you can afford
to elect that kind OF man for your presi-
dent, go ahead!" The alleged "meanest
man was defeated.

Prof. Karl Won Noorden, in an open
letter published in a Berlin paper, defends
his position on the alcoholic question,
which was not clear to some OF the physi-
clans who heard his lectures on the prin-
ciples Of nutrition. He says hat he has
called attention repeatedly to the injury
wrought by alcohol. Especially did I
warn equity subjects against the use of
the smallest quantity" he adds. He does
not share, however, the opinion Of those
people who believe that alcohol should
be banished from the sick chamber.

Miss Helen Taft is an exceptionally
busy young woman even for girl with
such diversified tastes. She shows much
of the administrative ability of her father
and the cultured and diverse inclinations
of her mother. Every summer since she
was able to read she has planned cours
of reading. lately with the aid OF her
English teacher, and she faithfully ad-
heres to the program until every book
has been perused She is athletic and
some OF her highest marks come from her
excellent work in physical culture
branches. She rides and plays golf very
gracefully. and has swung her racquet
against the chief executive of the nation
in some of the most spirited games or
tennis which have occurred on the White
House grounds this season. She is also
very clever with her needle, and during
the year her mother gets numerous tokens
that her talented young daughter finds
some time for the natural avocations OF
woman, fancy work and worsted dainty
ties. That Miss Helen is not devoted TO
music as she herself is Mrs. Taft regrets.
But all the Tafts have studied music and
know it. at least. theoretically, though thu

Two years ago Miss Taft was confirmed
in Saint Johns Episcopal Church by
Bishop Satterlee, and among those who
received the sacrament in the same elias
were Miss Ethel Roosevelt and the Misses
Julia and Alice Meyer. daughters of the
herent of the Episcopal faith. and is
prominent in all the Juvenile societies at

pew in this historic place of worship. and
she is always accompanied to church by
Miss Helen when that young Lady is in

Helen studied for several years a the

or four years to do and her entrance pa

She graduated from Baldwin School May
