COffee's Weight on Old Age.

When prominent men realize the
Injurious effects Of coffee and the
change I'm health that Postum can
bring, they are glad TO lend their tes-
umony 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 an inveterate coffee drink
or, had been troubled with her heart
for a number of years and complained
Of that weak all over feeling and
sick stomach.
Some time ago ! was making an
official visit to a distant part OF the
country and took dinner with one OF

somewhat peculiar favour OF the
coffee, and asked him concerning Il.
He replied that 10 was Postum.

the meal was over, j bought a pack

Onions and LONGEVITY.

To the accredited list of adds to
longevity an Ohio woman, recently
deceased, has made an important con-
tribution. This worthy person, who
had reached the age or lis, as those
who knew her are ready to assert, at
tributed her long life to the fact that
she ate onions twice a day. She be-
gan this habit when a little girl and
never suffered it to abate. Only a day
or two before the last summons came
she insisted upon being served with
her favorite dish. 1t is interesting to
note, also, that she ate her onions
cooked and she ate them uncooked,
which might go to show that it was
the onion itself that worked the mag
ic, and that trimmings and thermal
changes were not essential to It's life
prolonging virtues. - Cleveland Plain

Clergyman Who Refuses Fees.

The Rev. Norman o. Hutton, who
recently accepted the pastorate of a
Chicago church, in his first sermon
announced that he would take no
money from any family in his congre-
CATION for his attendance at a bap-
tism, burial, wedding or any other spe-
cial service for which 1t is usual for a
minister TO receive fee. The money
somehow robs the ceremony of its
beauty and dignity. The parish pays
the rector for his time and / believe
that he should give it freely" That
lisa liberal proposition, but if general
ly adopted many rural clergymen
would be forced to strict economy in
household expenses. Still, the prin-
ciple is right. The church pays the
clergyman salary for his time and
1t ought to be large enough so that he

When Financial Giants Die.

AS the Titans who build up the
Standard Oil trust" and made colos-
sal fortunes for themselves pass OF
the stage OF business activity we
shall realize that a new industrial era
has come upon us since their early
days. What they have achieved can
not be obliterated, but their methods
nave come under such reprobation
that they can never be repeated. The
change that has taken place in the
sentiment OF the people in regard to
business standards is in no small
measure due to the example they have
on conspicuous scale of the evil re-
suits OF unbridled self-seeking.-New

Societv and SoIitude

Good company, lively conversations,
and the endearments of friendship,
fill the mind with great pleasure; a
temporary solitude, on the other hand,
is itself agreeable. This may per-
haps prove that we are creatures de-
signed for contemplation as well as
actdon, since solitude as well as socie-
ty has its pleasures; as from the
former observation we may discern
that an entire life of solitude contra
diets the purposes of our being, since
death itself is scarcely an idea of
more terror.-Edmund Burke.

The clutches of dyspepsia are hard
to shake off. but they have been
known to yield to such simple power

of the digestive fluids and to eat too
