HOME TESTING A Sure and Easy Test on Coffee.

To decide the all important ques- ton of coffee, whether or not it is really the hidden cause of physical ails and approaching fixed diseases. one should make a test of ten days by leaving off coffee entirely and using well-made Postum.
 If relief follows you may know to certainty that coffee has been your vicious enemy. Of course you can take it back to your heart again, if you like to keep sick.
 A lady says: T had suffered with stomach trouble, nervousness and ter rible sick headaches ever since was little child, for my people were al- ways great coffee drinkers and let us children have all we wanted. I got so I thought I could not live without coffee, but I would not acknowledge that it caused my suffering.
 Then I read SO many articles about Postum that decided to give it a fair trial. I had not used it two weeks in place of coffee until began to feel like a different person. The headache and nervousness disappeared and whereas I used to be sick two or three days out of a week while drinking cof- fee I am now well and strong and sturdy seven days week, thanks to Postum.
 T had been using Postum three months and had never been sick day when I thought I would experi ment and see if it really was coffee that caused the trouble, so I began to drink coffee again and inside of a week had a sick spell. I was so i'll I was soon convinced that coffee was the cause of all my misery and went back to Postum with the result that I was soon well and strong again and determined to stick to Postum and leave coffee alone in the ature."

No Need of Interference,

The two neighborS who were pass ing the little cottage heard sounds as of terrific conflict inside and stopped to listen.
 Presently they heard loud thump, as if somebody had fallen to the floor.
 "Grogan is beating his wife again." they said.
 Bursting the door open, they rushed into the house.
 What's the trouble here?" they de- handed.
 ''Ther' ain't no trouble, gentlemen" calmly answered Mrs. Grogan, who had her husband down and was sit ting on his head, "Gwan!"

Exchanging Solemn Thoughts.

"Ah, says the man with the parted whiskers, when one stands alone in the night and contemplates the won ders of creation, how futile, how puny man seems! How vain, how puerile his hopes and longings, when he is surrounded by the eternal silence of the universe! Has this ever occurred to you?"

AREA OF THE UNITED STATES

SEATTLE, Wash, July 30.-That
the area of the United States when
compared with other countries is but
little realized by the ordinary person,
is brought rather forcibly to mind

statistics exhibited the department
of Bureau of American Republics at
the AlaskaYukonPa Pacific Exposition
Many countries of South Ameri-
ca generally regarded as being some
what insignificant in extent, popuIa-
ton and production, are found to be
empires in area and remarkably rich
in production. Brazil in particular is
almost universally misunderstood; it
it could be placed over the entire
United States, it would not only hide
them from view, but would still have
enough territory left to carve out the
states of New York, Pennsylvania,
Virginia and the entire group of New
England States. Running across the
