Mr.. LoNGwoRTH LAUGHED.


When Mrs. Alice RooseveltLong-
worth and Congressman Longworth
were in Yellowstone Park with Vice
President Fairbanks and Senator B.
R. Tillman. the Presidents daughter
met with an accident, according to
d. C. Booth, superintendent of the
United States fish hatchery at Spear
fish, who has just returned from
there.
The party was looking at one of
the large clay pits, when Mrs. Long
worth slipped and fell headforemost
into the pit. 1t was filled with soft,
oozy, red clay, and Mrs. Longworth
was a sight to behold.
Instead of displaying his customary
gallantry, Congressman Longworth
stood by and enjoyed most provok-
ing laugh, according to Booth.
AS consequence. Mrs. Longworth
was conducted to the hotel by other
members of the party. and it is de-
clared that for the rest of the after
noon her husband preferred admiring
the scenery to facing his wife's

The agent on the other side arose
and gave corroborative evidence as
to the decease of the man in ques-

Woman Runs Mouse Farm.

Now turns up the most original
woman among discoveries of femill-
inc pursuits. She is Miss Abbie
Lathrop, of CRANKY, Mass, who is
making a small fortune running a
mouse farm. Putting aside the
traditional fear of mice, she seeming
efy has resolved to avenge woman
kind for centuries of suffering at
their paws. For the tiny rodents are
raised, not as pets, but to become
the subjects of scientific experiments.
They are sold by Miss Lathrop to
medical colleges, where they are in
oculated with the germs of various
maladies for the edfication of the
students. Long usage has relieved
her of any dread of the mice, but
she has not reached the point OF
emancipation where she can have any
affection for them.N Y. Press.

FOUND a WAY
To BE Clear of the Coffee Troubles.

Husband and myself both had the
coffee habit and finally his stomach
and kidneys got in such bad condi-
tion that he was compelled to give
UP good position that he had held
for years. He was too sick to work.
His skin was yellow. and l hardly
think there was an organ in his body
that was not affected.
i told him felt sure his sickness
was due to coffee. and after some dis
cussion herdecided to give 1t up.
1T was a struggle. because of the
powerful habit. One day we heard
about Postum and concluded to try it,
and then 1t was easy to leave of cof-
fee.
His fearful headaches grew less
frequent, his complexion began to
clear. kidneys grew better until at
last he was new man altogether. as
a result of leaving of coffee and TAX
ing up Postum. Then / began to
drink it, too.
Although I was never as bad of
as my husband, was always verg
nervous and never at any time very
strong, only Weighing 95 lbs. before
began to use Postum. Now weigh
115 lbs. and can do as much work as
any one my size, think.
Many do not use Postum because
they have not taken the trouble to
make it right. have successfully
fooled great many persons who
have drunk it at my table. They
would remark, You must buy high

who clerked in grocery store was

CANDY FOR YOUNG PEOPLE.


Give children plenty of pure sugar,
taffy and the butterscotch and they'll
have little need of cod liver oil"
says Dr. Woods Hutchinson in the
Woman's Home Companion.
I'm short, sugar is, after meat,
bread and butter, easily our next most
important and necessary food. You
can put the matter to test very
easily. Just leave off the pie, pud-
ding or Other desserts at your lunch
or midday dinner You'll be aston
ished to find how quickly you'll feel
empty again, and how unfinished
the meal will seem. You can't get
any worlingman to accept a dinner
pail without pie in it, And he's alb
solutely right The only thing that
can take the place of sugar here is
beer or wine. 1t is a significant fact
that the free lunch counters run in
connection with bars furnish every inn
aginable thing except sweets. Even
the restaurants and lunch grills at
tached to saloons or bars often refuse
to serve desserts OF any sort. They
know their business! The more sugar
and sweets a man takes at a meal,
the less alcohol he wants. Converse
ly, nearly every drinking man will
tell you that he has lost his taste
for sweets The more candy nation
consumes, the less acohol.
"The United States government buys
pure candy by the ton and ships it
to the Philippines to be sold at cost
to the soldiers in the canteens All
men crave it in the tropics, and the
more they get of it, the less vino and
whiskey they want.
I'm fine, the prejudice against
sugar, is born of puritantism and
I stinginess, equal parts. Whatever
children cry for must be bad for them,
according to the pure doctrine of orig
inal sin; besides, it costs money. !

why Gloan's Liniment and Veterin-

ment and Veterinary Remedies are
the safest and most practical on the
market today. In the first place, DR..
Earl s. Sloan is the son of veterin-
airy surgeon, and from his earliest In
fancy he was associated with horses.
He bought and sold horses while
yet very young. He practised as a
veterinary for twenty years, and has
battled successfully with every dis
ease to which that animal Is subject.
All his remedies are the result OF
experiments made to save life or re-
