Hated to Take the Money.

Frank |. Cobb, the chief editorial
writer of the New York World was
on vacation in the Maine woods
once when Joseph Pulitzer, owner OF
the World, wanted to communicate
with him. Mr.. Pulitzer sent Cobb a

Presently country operator drove
in to the Cobb camp and handed Cobb
the message, which read something
like this:

PINEAPPLE AS A CURATIVE.

1t has long been known that the pineapple is
one of the healthiest of fruits but its real medic
nal qualities probably have never been realized. In
Hawaii experiments have been made to determine
something of these properties. 1t has been found
that the fruit of the pineapple contains digestive
principle closely resembling pepsn in its action
and to this is DrCsably due the beneficial results
of the Of the fruit in certain forms of dyspep-
STA. On the Casein of milk pineapple juice acts
as a digestive in almost the same manner as rem
net and the action is also well illustrated by plac-
ing thin piece Of uncooked beef between two
slices of fresh pineapple where in the course OF a
few hours its character is completely changed
In diphtheritic sore throat and Group pineapple
juice has come tc be very largely relied upon in
countries where the fruit is common The false
membranes which cause the closing of the throat
seem to be dissolved by the fruit acids and relief
is almost immediate.

Typographical Union Led.

The first tuberculosis sanitarium to
be erected for the benefit Of the labor
ing men was built by the Interna-
tional Typographical union in con-
nection with its home at Colorado
Springs. The International Printing
Freshmen and Assistants union have
recently decided to erect similar
sanItarium, and steps are now being
taken to open such an institution. The
international Photo Engravers union,
while not conducting a sanitarium OF
its own pays for the treatment of its
tuberculOus members in institutions in
various parts Of the country. The

recommending to their members that
they ally themselves with the various
organizations united in the fight
against tuberculosis.

THE DIFFERENCE
Coffee Usually Means Sickness, But
Postum Always Means Health.

Those who have never tried the ex-
pertinent of leaving off coffee and
drinking Postum in its place and in
this way regaining health and happi-
ness can learn much from the expert
ence of others who have made the
trial.
