After drinking coffee for breakfasts

no ambition to get to my morning

heart and stomach would come over

have to lie down.
AT other times had severe head
aches; stomach finally became af-
fected and digestion SO impaired that
had serious chronic dyspepsia and
constipation. A lady, for many years
State President Of the w. C. T. u.
told me she had been greatly benefited
by quitting coffee and using Postum
Food Coffee; she was troubled for
years with asthma. She said it was
no cross to quit coffee when she
found she could have as delicious an
article as Postum.
Another lady who had been trou-
bled with chronic dyspepsia for years.
found immediate relief on ceasing cot
fee and beginning Postum twice
day. She was wholly cured. Still
another friend told me that Postum
Food Coffee was Godsend to her, her

Postum,

An Unpleasant Visitor.

A frightful shape lOomed up before
the nearsighted eyes of the frightened
professor. 1t was of heroic size, it
stopped a little, its arms were unusu-
ally long, its forehead was retreatinG
and its feet were bare and very broad.
'You have taken great liberties with
me-" said the shape. You refer to me
on every possible occasion, ascribing
to me characteristics of which | know
nothing. You have reprehensible
way of shifting to my shoulders a
great many problems that are toe
much for your limited mind to grasp.
Come, now. what do you mean by itT
"I've never seen you before" STAN
mered the professor. "Who are you"
The shape haughtily drew, itself up.

o terrible voice.

WHY so WEAK?
Kidney Troubles May Be Sap
ping Your Life Away.
Smyrna People Have
Learned This Fact.

When a healthy man or woman
begins to run down without apparent
cause, becomes weak, languid, de-
pressed, suffers backache, headache,
dizzy spells and urinary disorders,
look to the kidneys for the cause of
it all. Keep the kidneys we'll and
they will keep you we'll. DOan's
Kidney Pills cure sick kidneys and
keep them we'll Here is Smyrna
testimony to prove it.
John M. Watson, Mt. Vernon St.,
Smyrna, DEL, says: "About six
years ago l received a severe injury
and was not expected to recover.
However, got well bat from that
time on | was greatly troubled with
my kidneys. Any cold l contracted,
any change in the weather, or over
exertion would affect my back and
kidneys and my back would ache so
severely that l could hardly get
around. Since using one box of
Doan's Kidney Pills, which procured
at Clifton and Raymond's pharmacy,
have found relief and my kidneys
have been restored to health. Doan's
Kidney Pills have been of such great
value to me that heartily recon-
mend them"

THE ARABS HORSE.
How He Is Treated and Why He Ex-
cells at Long Journeys.

How He Is Treated and Why He Ex-
cells at Long Journeys.
1t is most interesting to note the
way the Arab treats his faithful
friend. the horse. SO Injured indeed is
the Arab pony by long usage and de-
scent to the manner of life in the
desert that even my own pony posi-
lively improved on the treatment, and
| never saw him so fit as when he
came back from the trip.
If the Arab and his horse are by
legend closely allied they are in point
of fact even more intimately connect
ed. His mount is his first thought
and at all times by far the most inter
esting topic of conversation.
He is ungroomed. unclipped. unhal-
tered. for the Arab prefers to shackle
him by means Of two ropes. Il short
cord connecting the fore and hind fet-
locks and a long line lettering him
above the hind fetlock to a peg in the
ground. Thus he can move about or
roll at leisure and should there be any
rough herbage at hand can forage for
it,
Perhaps one of the principal reasons
why the Arab so excels at long jour
neys is that he never worries himself.
nor does he ever distress his mount
unless there is real cause to do so. He
simply continues a steady walk all
day and hardly ever gallops in the
wild way in which one so often sees
him depicted by artists.-London Field

scale OF humanity are they placed that
they may net even speak with stran-
GERS except through the Intermediary
of a man of the lowest caste above
their own. OF late years their status
has been improved. and they are less
servile in consequence, but even now
they fall on their knees with uplifted
hands to address people of the lowest
recognized caste, and upon the ap-
prOach of Il traveller they shout to
warn him to stop until they can get off
the road and he can pass without risk
of defilement from the proximity of
their persons. 1t is curious a ld yet SO
