Do You Drink 1t?

A minister's wife had quite tussle
with coffee and her experience is in
teresting. She 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
should want good, hot cup of cof-
fee about that time. 1t stimulated me
and 1 could keep awake better
after three or four years Of coffee
drinking / became nervous wreck
and thought that | simply could not
live without my coffee. All this time
l 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 thai it had already hurt me
almost beyond repair, so resolved to
make an effort to release myself from
the hurtful habit.
81 began taking Postum, and for
few days felt the languid, tired feeling
from the lack of the stimulant, 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
years use OF Postum / now feel like a
new woman-have not had any bilious
attacks since left off coffee

Blow for the Torrens System.

BLOW Tor the IorrenS system.
T. Torrey's six-year fight for the
Torrens system of land registration
came to naught, the senate killing the
Fairchild bill. This bill sought to es-
tablish the Torrens system in Milwau-
kee county and left the adoption of the
system optional with other counties.
The measure was introduced by Mr..
Fairchild at the instance of the Mil
waukee real estate board, which ap-
proved the plan after long considera-
ton. w. r. Gaylord, the Milwaukee
Socialist, urged the adoption of the
Torrens bill.
The senate ordered engrossed the
Page automobile bill, which had the
influence of the Wisconsin Automobile
association back of it. The bill raises
the speed limit in the country to 25
miles, but provides that the driver
must at all times have his machine
under complete control. Senator
Blaine secured the adoption of an
amendment, which makes it unlawful
for person under 16 years of age to
drive machine unless accompanied
by parent or guardian.

Gift to a Hostess.

One dainty woman gave to another
dainty woman, whose guest she had
been, a gift for her linen closet. It
consisted of a number of lavender
filled pads to lay in among the linens.
They were generous in size, made OF
lavender Japanese crepe, printed with
a rambling vine, probably wistaria.
The inside was white cotton wadding,
with dried lavender flowers between
the layers, and there was last bit OF
prettiness added in the shape of tufts
Of lavender ribbon.
The gift is very appropriate one
from the guest, who has not known
her hostess very well, and who, there
fore, might not venture on personal
gift.

A prominent poultry man of Massa-

birds, has a method of feeding which
is simplicity itself. He has in each
pen self-feeding hoppers; these hop
pers are transversely divided into diff
ferent compartments and in each COM
partment is a different kind of feed.
They are kept supplied at all times

BEWARE OF THE MUD SINGER.
Habit Sometimes UnconsciousIy Ac-
qured, But 1t Is Always Fatal
to Popularity.

Are you a mud singer? Soon life
is only seen through dark glasses and
your friends are naught but targets.
The girl who would be Mortified to
cut friends throat thinks nothing of
slashing her reputation, which is more
than life.
Why should stabbing man in the
back be counted disgrace, and stab
bling him to the heart with SANDER
not raise a ripple of disapproval?
What is mud singing? 1t is hound
ing a girl who is down; it is mean in
nuendo and ugly filings at rival; it
is spreading instead of smothering a
scandal and unctuous repeating of un.
kind gossip.
The mud singer cares not whether
her victim is blackened by slime Of
the mire of untruth and hatred nor
does a ruined life and heart-broken
friends give her a reproachful pang.
She keeps on detracting every one
who meets with her disapproval, until
she is dreaded by friend and foe alike.
Girls can all too soon get into the
way of mud singing. 1t is easy to
repeat thoughtless, unkind remarks,
to impute wrong motives, to tell the
ugly story, but it is an easiness that
makes for hardship all around. The
victim suffers, but not more than the
character of the girl who acquires the
habit of seeing nothing but evil.
The surest way to be unpopular is
to gain a reputation for saying cut
ting things. The very girls who
laugh at them will secretly fear that
they may be the next target and they
will avoid you. They will remember
the mud singers habit after they
have forgot that they found it anus

Washington's birthday a legal holiday
