1t is severe strain on the Imagination to at
tempt to bridge over the gap between the mean
ing of an airshp crossing the Mississippi river
ut St Louis this year and what the ancient keel
boats Of 1909 meant. as they landed at the foot
of Walnut street, where the town was founded in
1854 by the pioneers who had padded and cor

than the airship is now 1t was the best modern
boat in 1909 which could be equipped by the CAPT

commanded the east and west movement of bust

Effect of Their Warm Drink in the

A year ago I was a wreck from
coffee drinking and was on the point
of giving up my position in the school
room because of nervousness.
Il was telling friend about It and
she said, We drink nothing at meal
time but Postum, and it is such a
comfort to have something we can
enjoy drinking with the children
Il was astonished that she would
allow The children to drink any kind of
coffee, but she said Postum was the
most healthful drink in the world for
children as well as for older ones, and
that the condition of both the children
and adults showed that to be fact.
MY first trial was a failure. The
cook boiled it four or five minutes and
it tasted so fiat that was in despair
but determined to give it one more
trial. This time we followed the tirec-
tions and boiled it fifteen minutes aft
er the boiling began. 1t was a decided
success and was completely won by
its rich delicious favour. In a short

1t is almost if not quite as hard now TO mag
inc what the world meant before the age OF
steam as it is to think out what will be its mean
ing in the age of the perfected airship and aero
plane Every contrast possible in the St Louis
centennial week of pageants is a challenge to
look backward and forward in the attempt to
find out what hundred years already mean as
the first in the attempt to find what 1t is
to mean shortly, for this generation and for the
grandchildren of this generation in 2009
The makers of the centennial week program
were keenly aliye to the opportunities for spec
tacular effect suggested by the most striking
events of the worlds progress The aeronautic
events such as balloon races, aeroplane and dir-
gible balloon contests, suggest the future posi-
bilities of transportation in contrast with those
of 1909. For comparison with automobiles and
aeroplanes the bateau of Lacledes day, with its
stumpy mast, its cordele and its sweeps, is an
educational feature of the water pageant which
includes crafts of all the kinds which ply the
waters of the Mississippi. The Yelled Prophets
pageant unique and picturesque. is another fea
ture which is full of romantic interest. The edu
cational parade, the parade representing 5000 OF
st. Louis industries, the procession of thou
sand mayors and the other events which find q
place on the program all suggest that great
week for St. Louis its centennial week Is still
greater as it belongs to hundred years of his
tory-making for the continental United States.

Solving Double-stocklnsed Mystery.

Hosiery covers multitude of shins.
No institution that forms part of our
daily lives comes closer to us. There
fore, it is only right that the one
thing we do not know about it should
cause us much mental distress. The
question is: Do stockings (and socks)
wear out from the inside or in from
the outside? We believe the matter
is worthy of the attention of master
mind, so we have taken 1t up. We
see on the fashion page that women
are going to start wearing two pairs
of stockings instead of one, and both
at the same time. We are told the
effect will be lovely. For instance, a
pair of bright green ones underneath,
with "a pair of gauzy black ones on
top, will give beautiful shimmering
ensemble that is all the fireworks.
Other combinations may be added to
suit the taste. All we have to do is
to notice which stocking gets the hole
first. If it is the inner one, we can
deduce that our stockings, and exc
our socks, wear out from the inside.
If it is the outer one, 1t is just as
easy to conclude that they wear In
from the outside.
