SISTERS TRICK
But 1t All Came Out Right.

How sister played a trick that brought rosy health to coffee fiend is an interesting tale:
 T was a coffee fiend-a trembling, nervous, physical wreck, yet clinging to the poison that stole away my strength. I mocked at Postum and would have none of it.
 'One day my sister substituted a cup of Postum piping hot for my 12fvp- ing cup of coffee but did not ten Ne what it was. l noticed the richness of it and remarked that the coffee tasted fine. but my sister did not tell me 1 was drinking Postum for fear might not take any more.
 "She kept the secret and kept giv- ing me Postum instead of coffee until l grew stronger, more tireless, got better color in my sallow cheeks and clearness to my eyes. then she told me of the health-giving, nerve strengthening life-saver she had given me in place of my morning coffee. From that time became disciple of Postum and no words can do justice in telling the good this cereal drink did me. l will not try to tell it, for only after having used it can one be convinced of its merits"

The Strenuous Blanche.

One of Blanche Bates most intimate friends is telling a rather funny story about this clever actress.
 She came into my house one even- ing very much excited. and I said to her: Blanche, for heavens sake, what is the matter? You seem to be all gone to pieces
 Matter enough she answered, as her voice shook with anger. I have been accosted by man in the streets
 What did you do? I asked.
 "J hauled off and hit him in the face she answered, and I said to him: You dirty dog, would you speak to a defenseless woman?"
 And where was he when you said this?' l again inquired

A Dubious Tribute.

The young theological student who had been supplying the Rushby pull pit for two Sundays looked wistfully at Mrs. Kingman, his hostess for the time being. Did you like the sermon this morning, if I may ask?" he in- Quired.
 You done real well with the material you selected" said Mrs. Kingman, with much cordiality. "As I said to Zenas on the way home, I've heard dozen or more sermons preached on that text, and this young mans the first one that ever made me realize how difficult twas to explain "- Youths Companion.

CHILD ATE cUTlcURA OINTMENT.
Spread Whole Box of It on Crackers Mot the Least Injury Resulted.
cuticura Thus Proven Pure and Sweet.

A New York friend of Cuticura writes:
 My three year old son and heir, after being put to bed on trip across the Atlantic, investigated the state room and located a box of graham crackers and a box of Cuticura Oint- ment. When a search was made for the box, it was found empty and the kid admitted that he had eaten the contents of the entire box spread on the crackers. It cured him of bad cold and don't know what else.'
 No more conclusive evidence could be offered that every ingredient of Gu ticura Ointment is absolutely pure, sweet and harmless. If it may be safely eaten by young child, none but the most beneficial results can be ex- pected to attend its application to pected to attend its application to even the tenderest skin or youngest infant.
