GOT HIS MORNINGS HOT MILK.
Thoughtful Friend Turned the Trick
and Landady Received Credit
for ThoughtfuIness.

Living in boarding place Is not
without its objections" confided w. B.
Mccarthy to his friend over their
monday lunch. For instance, I'd like
some hot milk in the morning. There's
no reason why l should have it,
health's good and all that, but I've ta-
ken a fancy to hot milk for breakfast.
When l draw up to the table, l think
to myself how nice it would be If l
just had a bowl Of hot milk. But II I
were to ask for it. every boarder in
the house would be wanting the same
thing. That's the way it goes in a
boarding house. And l don't like to
make myself a nuisance to the land
lady. The other day l said I'd like
some toast No one else had thought
of such thing before, but everybody
had to have some of my toast when it
came in. And there you are"
TOO bad Mccarthy can't get little
swallow of hot milk in the morning" !"
thought McCarthy's friend as he sat
at his desk that afternoon. "Mebby I
can fix things" He reached for the
phone and called up McCarthy's land
lady.
"This is Mr.. McCarthy's physician"
he told her. II wish you would see
to it that he gets all the hot milk he
can drink every morning. Give it to
him instead of coffee or tea. You see
his nerves are in bad way, and If he
doesn't get hot milk for breakfast we'll
have to send him of to sanitarium.
Don't say anything to him about me
calling. Just see that he gets that hot
milk. Thank you very much"
And ever since then, Mccarthy has
been Dragging about what a mind
reader his landlady is. Just sort of
knows what want almost as soon az
l know myself" he says. Never saw
anpthing like it."-Cleveland Plain

PRESSED HARD
Coffee's Weight on Old Age.

When prominent men realize the in.
furious effects of coffee and the change
in health that Postum can bring, they
are glad to lend their testimony for
the benefit of others.
A superintendent of public schools
in one of the southern states says:
MY mother, since her early child
hood, was on inveterate coffee drinker,
had been troubled with her heart for q
number of years and complained of
that weak all over feeling and sick
stomach.
Some time ago was making an Off.
cial visit to distant part of the coun-
try and took dinner with one Of the
merchants of the place. l noticed
somewhat peculiar favour of the cof-
fee, and asked him concerning it. He
replied that it was Postum.
81 was SO pleased with it, that after
the meal was over, bought a package
to carry home with me, and had wife
prepare some for the next meal. The
whole family were SO well pleased
with it, that we discontinued coffee
and used Postum entirely.
II had really been at times very
anxious concerning my mothers con-
dition, but we noticed that after using
Postum for a short time, she felt so
much better than she did prior to its
use, and had little trouble with her
heart and no sick stomach; that the
headaches were not so frequent, and
her general condition much improved.
This continued until she was as well
and hearty as the rest of us.
II know Postum has benefited my
self and the other members of the
family, but not in SO marked de-
gree as in the case of my mother, as
she was victim Of long standing"

With mcrlins this Is by no means
the case. and young grouse are often
the principal food OF the family: but
at no other period OF the year are
they destructive to game. Owing to
the fact that they nest on the ground
and in the most secluded places they
are not easy to locate. and to this
they often owe their safety. The num-
bers of kestrels in the Highlands are
apparently on the increase, and II
seems now to be generally recognized
that they are worthy OF encourage
ment. Both kestrels and merlins are
to some extent migratory, and the lat

selves when the ground is covered

the kestrel is harmless, and that the
cock grouse will boldly attempt to

proach too near when hunting for
mice. On the approach of the pere.
grine. however. he crouches close to
the ground. well knowing that no
courage will avail him here.
A few words in conclusion as to the
owls. of which we need only consider
three species-the tawny. the long.
cared and the short-eared. for the
barn-owl. common in the south. is
rara avis in the Highlands. The ap.
pearance of the short-eared owls in
autumn marks the approach of win
ter, and the regularity with which
they arrive at the time of the flight
has earned for them the name of the
woodcock owl. A few of these remain
to breed with us, and in time more
may be induced to follow their ex-
ample If they are carefully protected.
