 Would Enjoy

good health, with it's blessings, must un- derstand, quite clearly, that it involves the question of right living with all the term implies. With proper knowledge of what is best. each hour of recreation, of enjoy ment, of contemplation and of effort may be made to contribute to living aright. Then the use of medicines may be dis pensed with to advantage, but under or dinary conditions in many instances a simple, wholesome remedy may be invalu- able if taken at the proper time and the California Fig Syrup Co., holds that it is alike important to present the subject truthfully and to supply the one perfect laxative to those desiring it.
 Consequently, the Company's Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna gives general satisfaction. To get its beneficial effects buy the genuine, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. only, and for sale by all leading druggists.

FEW GRASSES IN HER LIFE
Infinite Pathos in Remark Made by Little Philadelphia Child of
 the Sums.

Dr. Herman l.. During, superintend- ent of the Philadelphia City mission, has for many years devoted his life to the poor. Dr. During is the in ventor of the pretzel test for street beggars. When street beggar pleads starvation, you buy him a big German pretzel at the nearest stand If he eats the pretzel, he is honest; if he refuses it, he is a fraud.
 Dr. During in his work among the poor has learned many odd, quaint things that he relates superbly, for he is born story-teller. In an address at Bala. apropos of the hard, rough lives of the children of the poor, he related a dialogue between two little girls in Rum alley.

LIGHT BOOZE Do You Drink It?

A minister's wife had quite tussle teresting. Sht says:
 During the two years of my train ing as nurse, while on night duty, became addicted to coffee drinking. Be- tween midnight and four in the morn- ing, when the patients were asleep, there was little to do except make the rounds, and it was quite natural that I should want good, hot cup of cof- fee about that time. It stimulated me and I could keep awake better.
 After three or four years of coffee drinking l became nervous wreck and thought that l simply could not live without my coffee. All this time was subject to frequent bilious at- tacks, sometimes so severe as to keep me in bed for several days.
 After being married, Husband begged me to leave off coffee for he feared that it had already hurt me almost beyond repair, so I resolved to make an effort to release myself from the hurtful habit.
 began taking PoStum, and TOT a few days felt the languid, tired feeling freHFai the thf ise lack of the stimuiaHt but liked the taste of Postum and that answered for the breakfast beverage all right.
 Finally began to feel clearer head ed and had steadier nerves. After a years use of Postum 1 now feel like a new woman-have not had any bilious attacks since I left off coffee."

Kansas Wheat To Be Barred.

Houston, Tex, May 1S.-That the Pure Food Commission of this state will make an effort to prevent further shipments of wheat from Kansas points into this state until the ship pers have complied with the proyls- ion of the Texas laws, is the state ment issued by P. s. Tilson, in charge of the chemical laboratory of the Fed eral Department of Agriculture To- cated here. This assertion is made following the receipt here of specl- mems of wheat for analysis from five carloads, totaling 300,000 pounds, which were seized at Fort Worth Saturday by Dr. J. s. Abbott, state food commissioner. This wheat was destined for mills in Texas and was billed as first class red wheat, but an inspection of it shows, it is al legged, that it contains one-third hard wheat. The hard wheat is inferior in quality to the red wheat and causes a material difference in the manufactured product.
