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
North Carolina says:
my mother since her early child
hood, was an inVeterate coffee drinker
and had been troubled with her heart
for q number Of years, and COM
planned Of that weak all over feeling

country and took dinner with one Of

II was SO pleased with 1t, that after
the meal was over, I bought pack
age to carry home with me, and had
wife prepare some for the next meal.
The whole family liked 1t 80 well, that
we discontinued coffee and used
Postum entirely.
Il had really been at times very anx-
Ious concerning my mothers condition.
but we noticed that after using
Postum for. 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 we'll
and hearty as the rest Of rs.

Women In Postal Service.

The distinction Of first appointing a
woman postmaster does not belong to
America, nor is the employment OF
women in the postal service a new
idea. AS early as 1913 woman post
master was appointed to look after
the mails of Braine lie Comte, an i'm
portant town Of France. In the try
ing times of the Thirty Years war,
the principal office in the postal serv'
ice of Europe was held by a woman
Alexandrine de Rue. From 1928 to
1916 she was in charge of the mails
Of the German empire, the Neither
lands, Burgundy and Lorraine. She
was known as a master general of the
mails. In America, Elizabeth Harvey
was the first to hold place in the
postal department. She had charge
Of the letters in Portsmouth, N. H., in
the beginning of the seventeenth cen
tury. A half century afterward Lydia
Hill was placed in charge Of the post
Office in Salem, Mass.

ART OF LIFE SAVING
VIM. Henry, Champion Swimmer,
Coming Over to Teach Us.
He is Founder Of the Royal English
Society Devoted to Reseulno the
DrownIng-Easy When You
Know How, He Says.

London.-Remarkable progress in
the art Of saving life from drowning
has been made both in Europe and
America since the foundation Is years
ago of the English Royal Life Saving
society which first organized this serv.
ice to humanity. William Henry, the
founder of this famous society, left
England recently on a missionary visit
to the United States and Canada.
After visiting Montreal, Quebec, Otta-
wa, Kingston and other Canadian
cities, he will give lectures and illus
trations Of life saving in Buffalo, New
York and other places in the United
States.
Mr.. Henry is one of those enthusi-
asts whose zeal Is infectious. Being
In the happy position Of financial inde-
pendence, he devotes most of his time
TO his hobby-life saving-and under
his direction the society has grown
from small body in 1891, when 1t was
founded, to embrace more than 600
affiliated associations and clubs, mum.
bering over 10000 members.
The governing authorities Of schools,
colleges and universities in England
all have come under his sway. He has
visited nearly all the continental coun.
tries and has established societies in
Italy, Germany, Sweden, France and
Finland. His methods Of life saving
are being taught In the Australian
commonwealth. New Zealand. India.

where he lived, believe the state should
perpetuate his memory with statue.
The next bill was for a statue or
monument for Schuyler Colfax, who
at South Bend. Colfax, who was vice
president when Grant was president,
lived at South Bend and the people of
that city hold his memory dear. When
the bill was introduced in the house
the general opinion expressed was
the state ought to build the memorial.
This still appears to be the sentiment
and Representatives Elliott and Shafer
and Senator Bingham, representing St
Joseph county, are working hard to
have the bill passed. If it fails It will
not be through any fault oftheir own.
Senator Hawkins Of Portland intro
duced bill for the erection of monu-
soldier from Indiana killed in the Civil
ment to Jesse Williams. the last Union
war. Williams was killed in Texas.
The bin provides that the monument
be erected at Portland.
Another bill is to appropriate $4,000
for the erection of Indiana monuments
on the battlefield of Antietam. The
senate committee that has this bill in
charge has made a favorable report
OF it.
But the trouble lies in the fact that
there seems to be prevalent a spirit
of economy during this session that
makes it uncertain whether any ap-
preparations will be made for the cree
ton of monuments of any kind. Still
you never can tell The legislature
may take a notion to pass all of the
monument bills before it gets through
the session
One of the bills that is going to
attract a good deal of attention is the
one to establish agricultural schools
in each county of the state. to be con-
Quoted under the direction of and along
the lines laid down by the agricultural
department of Purdue university. The
bill would make the study OF agri-
culture a part of the course Of the
common schools. Some of the mem
bcrs appear TO believe, however that
the study of agriculture should be
made elective and not compulsory. so
that those pupils who wish to take
it may do so and those who wish to
avoid it may do so. The bill will have
the support of the farmers organfza-
t1ons of the state.

ing a bill for introduction to further

HearttoHeart
Talks.
SIZE WAS CHILD HUNGRY.
BY EDWIN a. NYE.
Copyright. 1908. by Edwin A. Nye.

Mrs. Hazel Avery of Chicago stole
little Alice Furlong, aged two and a
half years.
But Mrs. Avery was not "a criminal
She did not steal the child for the
sake of a reward or for any vicious
purpose.
She was simply child hungry.
Mrs. Avery met the little one on the
street. She was a sweet child, but
dirty and neglected. ''I did not mean
any HARM" she said when arrested.
II love children, and / always wanted
a baby
Mrs. Avery kept the child for a
week, and when the police inspector
came to take her away she chung to
the woman, saying. II want to stay
here"
And the child stealer went to her
knees, sobbing: ooh, sir, don't take
her away. You will break my heart. -
Mrs. Avery was sent to jail, and the
child was taken to its parents.
Alienists have studied the woman
and say there is nothing bad about
her. They say she is natural moth
er." She ought to have children of her
own. Being denied them, her heart
hunger became ravenous.
Motherhood is not entirely atrophied
in the old maid who loves and de.
tends cats. 1t is not abnormal that
such one should provide in her will
for home for cats. It is a species of
motherhood
So there are women who naturally
feel motherly toward every child they
see. And when they chance upon a
wee, lonely waif their arms fairly
ache to take it up and coddle 1t.
Mrs. Avery was that sort of woman.
And so when toddling little Alice
Furlong, with her baby face and win
some ways, looked up the appeal was
irresistible. She was child hungry.
Holding the baby close, she carried her
to her room.
The woman was poor, but she Law
ished all she had upon the tot who
had crept into her heart. She spent
every cent she could spare to buy
pretty clothes and cute little stockings
and shoes and lace caps for the baby.
In worshiping at this shrine of child
hood she was supremely happy
Day after day the woman told her
self she must take the baby home.
But when the loving little thing nes-
tied close and called her ''new man.
ma" she had not the resolution to do it.
Well
There be those who cannot see why
this poor woman should steal a child.
They will say she must have been
wicked or "daffy." But
Oh, ye of loving hearts and empty
armsi
You will understand why this wo-
man did this thing.
