HOME TESTING.

A Sure and Easy Test on COnee.
To decide the all important question
Of coffee, whether or not 1t is really
the hidden cause of physical ails and
approaching fixed disease, one should
make a test Of 10 days by leaving of
coffee entirely and using weIl-made
Postum.
If relief follows you may know to a
certainty that coffee has been your
vicious enemy. OF course you can take
1t back to your heart again, II you
like to keep sick.
A lady says: II had suffered with
stomach trouble, nervousness and ter
rible sick headaches ever since I was
a little child. for my people were al
ways great coffee drinkers and let US
children have all we wanted. I got
so I thought I could not live without
coffee but / would not acknowledge
that = caused my suffering.
Then 1 read so many articles about
Postum that I decided to give II a
fair trial. I had not used 1t two
weeks inlplace of coffee until I began
to feel like a different person. The
headaches and nervousness disappear
ed and whereas I used to be sick two
or three days out OF a week while
drinking coffee I am now well and
strong and sturdy seven days a week,
thanks to Postum.
II had been using Postum three
months and had never been sick q
day when I thought I would expert
ment and see II 1t really was coffee
that caused the trouble, sc I began
to drink coffee again and inside Of a
week l had a sick spell. I was so Ill
I va 500 convinced that coffee wal
the cause of all my misery and I went
back to Postum, with the result that I
was o we'll and strong again and
determined to stick to Postum and
leave coffee alone in the future"

ADVICE from the Reneh.

From the Cleveland Leader,
Some years ago many farmers along
the line of the Missouri, Kansas q
Texas railway brought suit against 1t,
and engaged a young lawyer named
Brown. Judge CAN'T, who was pre-
siding, was compelled to throw many
OF the cases out of court because they
were improperly brought. Brown was
mad all oyer. Swelling with indigna-
ton, he arose and said: your honor,
will you please tell me how 1t is pos
sible in this court to get justice against
a railroad company"
Judge CAN'T quietly ignored the con-
tempt Of court shown by the lawyer
and asked: do you wish an answer
to that question, Mr.. Brown"
Eyes, sir" defiantly replied the IN
dignant lawyer; yes, sir, and I want
to know how a farmer car get his case
into this court so that 1t will be heard
Judge CAN'T smiled and said: Well,
first, Mr.. Brown, I'd advise the farmer
to hire a lawyer"
Brown wilted. y.

An Economic Experiment.

Mister Otto Knowsomebetter was an eco
nomic chap
With a well developed liking for a dol
lar in his trap.
He was wont to ponder wisely, with his
fingers in his hair,
On the various expenses that an honest
man must bear.
And the one that most distressed him,
cen to giving him a shock,
Was the awful cost Of fodder he vas
forced to feed his stock.
Now, we know the ancient fable OF the
man who fed his steed
On a simple sawdust diet and had made
the same succeed
AS a steady equine ration-if the victim
hadn't died;
And he knew the plan was useless, and
devoid Of sense beside.
So he figured out a process, widely diff
ferent from that,
Whereby he could ave his pocket and
his cattle keep their fat.
He procured a load of sawdust with the
happy scheme in mind,
Shorts and bran and other staple of a
fat-increasing kind;
Which he mixed in true proportion, with
a touch Of pepper stout,
For he'd heard 1t said the secret Of the
sawdust steed's demise
Was a little too much sawdust and the
lack of exercise.
SO he placed the toothsome mixture in a
freshly secured bin.
Smiling as he thought how bossy would
be neatly X In.
Then he measured out a portion and he
gave II to his cow.
And she hesitated slightly, but she ate
1t anyhow.
Then he went at eve to milk her, with
elation in his soul
And she gave a pat of butter in a little
wooden bowl!

From the Newark Star.
Rev. Albert w. II. Thompson, as
sistant pastor Of Trinity church. told
a good story on himself recently.
You know l have been here only a
short time, but 1 believe 1t was during
n Of my first days in the city that I
was walking along n of the streets
near the church when I came across a
little girl aged 7 or 5 years. Her face
was simply black with dust that had
gathered upon the sticky molasses that
had smeared about from a lollypop, the
stick of which was protruding from
her mouth. ~.
Thinking she was one of my Sunday
school girls, 1 said: Hello, Maryi' y
"She stopped, looked up and consid-s
cred me in a grave for a short
time, and then said: -
law make a noise like a hoop and
roll on! Roll on!'' "
