The cock crows. the; bell sounds the
hours, the little bells the Sancte Spir-

heads of the lions move the eyes and
tongue. The astrolabe shows the
hours in its degree and the movement
of the moor. More, yer, the perpet,
ual calendar shows all tie days of
the year, the fest days and the bissex-

are complete are 5 and 6 o'clock in

o'clock in the afternoon.

HABITS CHAIN
Certain Habits Unconsciously Formed
and Hard to Break.

An ingenious philosopher estimates
that the amount of will power neces-
sary to break a lifelong habit would,
if it could be transformed, lift a
weight of many tons.
1t sometimes requires a higher de-
gree of heroism to break the chains
of a pernicious habit than to lead a
forlorn hope in a bloody battle. A.
lady writes from an Indiana town:
From my earliest childhood I was
a lover of coffee. Before I was out
of my teens I vas 2 miserable dyspep-
tic, suffering terribly at times with
my stomach. }J
IL was convinced that it was coffee
that was causing the trouble and yet
l could not deny myself a cup for
breakfast. At the age of sc 1 was in
very poor health, indeed. My sister
told me I was in danger of becoming
a coffee drunkard.
But I never could give up drink
ing coffee for breakfast, although it
kept me constantly i'll, until I tried
Postum. I learned 20 make it prop
erly according to directions. and now
we can hardly do without Postum for
breakfast. and care nothing at all for
coffee.
II am no longer troubled with dys-
pepsia, do not have spells of suffer-
ing with my stomach that used to
trouble me so when I drank coffee"

This motto, written by Prot. Munyon

With the one thought in view of helping
humanity. he started in the medicine bust
ness, paying large sum of money TO emf

mulas that were known TO have been sue
cessful in curing diseases. After carefully
compromising these formulas and putting

family. He hired eminent specialists at
large salaries and offered their services ab.
~solutely free to the public to Diagnose their
cases and advise them what remedies to
take. After giving the public all these
benefits he was still unsatisfied and offered
further TO those who were not in reach of
the offices which he established throughout
the country; he advertised. asking them to
write TO his specialists for free medical ex-
m.natien. and to-day Prof. Munyon is still
following out this policy. and whenever he
hears Of a new drug or a new formula that
is more effective THAN those that he is at
the time compromising, he purchases them
regardless OF cost.
Prof. Munyon puts up a separate cure for
almost every i'll. and these remedies can be
had at all druggists. mostly rs cents a bot.
