Country Neqlectine the Children.

If the percentage of tuberculous chill
dren recently ascertained by an inves-
tigation in Stockholm, Sweden Q.6l
per cent? were applied to the schools
of the United States there would be
273,700 children between the ages OF
eight and fifteen who are positively al
fected with tuberculosis, according to
a statement of the National Associa-
tion for the study and prevention OF
tuberculosis. AS contrasted with this
figure, there are only IL open-air
tuberculosis schools in operation In
the entire country, and nine more up-
der consideration. At the lowest esti-
mate, even with all the schools now in
operation and those proposed, accom-
modations will not be provided for
four-tenths of one per cent. of the
children who need this special treat
ment.

SECRET WORKERS
The Plan Upon Which Coffee Operates.

Coffee is such secret worker that
1t is not suspected as the cause of sick
ness or disease, but there is very
sure way to find out the truth.
A lady in Memphis gives an inter-
esting experience her husband had
with coffee. 1t seems that he had been
using it for some time and was an
invalid.
The physician in charge shrewdly
suspected that coffee was the Worm
at the root of the tree" and ordered
it discontinued with instructions to
use Postum regularly in it's place.
The wife says: I'VE found that was
the true remedy for his stomach and
heart trouble and we would have glad
ly paid a hundred times the amount
of the doctors charge when we found
how wise his judgment was.
"The use of Postum instead of cof-
fee was begun about year ago, and
1t has made my husband strong, we'll
man. He has gained thirty-five pounds
in that time and his stomach and heart
troubles have all disappeared.
THE first time 1 prepared it I did
not boil it long enough and he said
there was something wrong with 1t.
Sure enough it did taste very fiat, but
the next morning followed directions
carefully, boiling it for fifteen minutes.
and he remarked this is better than
any of the old coffee
I'VE use Postum regularly and never
tire of telling our friends of the bene-
fit we have received from leaving off
coffee"

his mother for a train at railway

his mother great many questions

Pathetic Pride,

Willie had had tumble when he
was a baby and his hip was so hurt
that ever afterward he was obliged to
use crutch. On one occasion, when
his mother had bought him new
crutch of the latest and most ap-
proved style, Willie expressed his en-
thusiasm and delight in the roundest
terms. "And oh, mother!" he ex-
claimed, in conclusion, referring to

The Cost of Politics.

In his "reminiscences of Grover
Cleveland, George F. Parker tells a
story concerning prodigal expendi-
lures in politics. A rich man who
had been nibbling at the Democratic
nomination for governor of New York
asked William c. Whitney's advice.
This is the advice: "Of course, you
ought to run! Make your preliminary
canvass, and when you have put In
100000 you will have become SO
much interested in it that you will
feel like going ahead and spending
some money"

Ii is TO be remarked that the Con

President Roosevelt in a recent adj
dress denominated Lee as the great
est commander OF any age. That is
egregious exaggeration.
Lee was a consummate master of
defense. With limited resources and
inferior numbers he held the armies
of the north OFF from Richmond for
four long years. However, it is to be
considered that until Grant appeared,
Lee was matched against such cap
tains as Mcclellan, who, when Rich,
