Bows ESSAY on Clothing.

Here is an extract from an essay,
written by boy in London school:
Clothing is an article which every
body should wear. The least of this
article is worn by savages or natives,
which is a piece of cloth or a few
leaves or feathers round the waist. in
cold countries, same as Eskimos, the
people wear more clothes than we do,
count Of the icy cold out there. They
can skate all the year round, except
about one thaw there is in summer.
If they walked about like natives they
would catch cold directly and die of
bronkitis. We put clothes on which
are nearly like our bodies, some have
caps, coats and trousers, but women
and girls wear hats and frocks to tell
who they are"

the builder has had to rely upon the kindness OF
his other creditors who have helped the cause
by not pressing their claims.
That $4,000 that has already been put into the
work was gathered mostly from the contributions
of friends all over the country Other pastors
have taken up benefit collections a friend in In
diana sent 5000, and the congregation has con-
tributed far beyond what might be expected from
their means. Mr.. Schwarz made house-tohouse
campaign of four days down in Riley, Kan, and
raised 5000 in that way. One of the church trls-
tees who declared when the project was begun
that he would not do anything to aid it, has al
ready given $780, and others have given 500 and
$500 contributions Churches have promised
contributions that will probably average $25 each
and several hundred dollars more is expected
from that source.

says the minister, and he seems not to lack faith
that the $4,000 will come as it is needed.
Mr.. Schwarzs unique undertaking has attract

cal assistance have come in from various parts
of the country These donations to a most wor

but are the less appreciated by the ener
getic pastor and the encouragement thus re-
ceived has had no little part in helping along the
good work. Rev Schwarz has announced that all
outside contributions will be gratefully received
and promptly acknowledged.
The biggest addition to the fund that has
come far the $4,000 got from selling the
old parsonage which the pastor advised as soon
as he saw the possibility of making home for
himself as part of the new building 1t is be-

SECRET WORKERS
The Plan Upon Which Coffee Operates.

Coffee is such a secret worker that
it is not suspected as the cause of sick
ness or disease, but there is a 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

it discontinued with instructions to
use Postum regularly in it's place.
The wife says: eve found that was
the true remedy for his stomach and
heart trouble and we would have glad

of the doctors charge when we found
how wise his judgment was.
"The use of Postum instead OF COT
fee was begun about a year ago, and
it has made my husband strong, well
man. He has gained thirty-five pounds
in that time and his stomach and heart
troubles have all disappeared.

there was something wrong with it.

The Cost of Politics.

In his "reminiscences of Grover
Cleveland, George F. Parker tells a
story concerning prodigal expendi-
lures i'll 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
