For tunateiy he had brought with him a supply of his favorite con diments and by arranging with the head waiter these were plac- ed on his table Onel day another guest saw the appetizing bottle on his neighbours table and asked the waiter to give him some of that sauces
 I'm sorry, sir" said the waiter "but 1t is the private property of this gentleman" The minister however overheard the others re quest and told the waiter to pass the bottle.
 The stranger poured some of the mixture on his meat andltook a liberal mouthful. After a mom- ent he turned with tears in his eyes to the minister
 You're a minister of the Cos pel?"
 Yes sir"

THE Difference
Coffee Usually Means Sickness, But
Postum Always Means Health.

Those who have never tried the ex.
pertinent of leaving off coffee and
drinking Postum in it's place and in
this way regaining health and happi-
ness can learn much from the expert
ence Of others who have made the
trial.
One who knows says: II drank COT
fee for breakfast every morning until
l had terrible attacks Of indigestion
producing days of discomfort and
nights of sleeplessness. 1 tried to give
up the use of coffee entirely, but found
1t hard to go from hot coffee to a
glass of water. Then I tried Postum.
1T was good and the effect was so
pleasant that I soon learned to love
it and have used it for several years.
I improved Immediately after I left
off coffee and took on Postum and
am now entirely cured Of my indiges-
ton and other troubles all of which
were due to coffee. I am now well
and contented and all because I
changed from coffee to Postum.
Postum is much easier to make
right every time than coffee, for it is
SO even and always reliable. We
never use coffee now in our family.
We use Postum, and are always we'll"
There's a reason" and it is proved
by trial.

The Best Food for Workers.

food n can eat.
This great food value and low cost
make it an ideal food for families who
want to get the greatest good from
what they eat,
Laborers, factory or farm hands, fed
plentifully on Quaker Oats will work
better and with less fatigue than if
fed on almost any other kind of food.
All of these facts were proved and
very interesting information about
human foods were gathered by Pro
fessor Fisher of Yale University in
1908. In addition to the regular lsck'

How to Care for the Child.

Perplexed mother writes: my child
has sneezing fits after the morning
sponge bath. What would you ad
yise?" Some mothers give their
babies a hypodermic of morphine for
sneezing. But we have always felt
that this was too harsh a remedy.
Give the baby about three tablespoon
fuls Of Old Tom gin with a little sugar
and a pinch of lemon peel. The sugar
makes this remedy more grateful to
the child. Be sure to keep this prophy-
Tactic away from father.

HURRICANE DOES GREAT DAM
AGE AT KEY WEST AND OTHER,

HUNDREDS MADE HOMELESS

Many Small Boats Wrecked and Lives
Are Supposed to Have Been Lost
Storm Passes out to Sea and is
Headed Toward Bermudas-Destitute
Being Fed by City Authorities.

Key West, Fla, Oct. 12.-With the
city in the hands Of the military au-
thorities, who were called ON by the
mayor for assistance, efforts are be-
ing concentrated today on ascertaining
the damage wrought by the hurricane
which swept the gulf yesterday.
1t is estimated the damage to prop
erty in the city and harbor will reach
s2.000,GO0. No loss of life has been re-
ported in the city, but it is thought the
death toll will be heavy along the east
ern coast of the peninsula Between
sixty and seventy-five boats of all, de-
soriptions are wrecked. 1t Is feared
q number Of lives were lost on these
vessels. In the city whole blocks of
frame structures were razed. Brick
houses also fell before the gale, while
great tobacco factories and warehouses
suffered considerable damage.
The Jail is filled with vandals cap
tured by the militia and police during
the night Hundreds OF homeless today
are being cared for in churches
and other structures which escaped the
fury of the storm. Rations are being
distributed by the city authorities.

Two barrack buildings were damaged
beyond repair, the hospital was partial
ly unroofed and the supplies of that in
stltution were ruined. The condensing
plant was wrecked and all buildings
belonging to the army We're flooded
from the rains.
1t is fully expected that incoming re-
ports will disclose severe damage to
shippingNa and much destruction to prop
erty, and perhaps loss of life among
the Florida keys. but undoubtedly the
destruction would have been much
greater except for the prompt action OF
the weather bureau in spreading
broadcast thru every available agency
warnings Of the approaching hurricane
Troops to Cooperate.
Acting Secretary of War Oliver has
directed that the commanding officer of
the coast artillery at Key West. Fla.
be instructed to render such assistance
as may be requested by the mayor of
that city in maintaining order, following
the devastating results of yesterdays
hurricane. The only United States
troops at Key West are three COM
panies of coast artillery, about 400 men,
and these will be of material help to
the city officials In their efforts to pre-
vent looting and disturbances. Should
more be needed they could be sent
from Tampa and Pensacola, at both of
which cities are located artillery posts.
