A DOCTORS EXPERIENCE

1t is hard to convince some people
that coffee does them an injury! They
lay their bad feelings to almost every
cause but the true and unsuspected
one.
But the doctor knows. His wide ex-
perience has proven to him that to
some systems, coffee is an insidious
poison that undermines the health.
Ask the doctor If coffee is the cause
of constipation, stomach and nervous
trouble.
Il have been a coffee drinker all
my life. I am now AZ years old and

There is a story about the secretary

grow rather long. The secretary was
playing in front of visitor who was
a very long driver, and kept dropping
his ball in the neighborhood, of the

the little man could stand it no longer
and walked back and demonstrated
with the visitor on his conduct. but

FAULT-FINDINd HABIT.

A habit of the worst kind is of be-
ing v critical, of looking at the
had side of things all the time.
Have YOU ever met both men and
women who perpetually found fault?
They did not do this consciously,
perhaps, no from bad temper but be-
cause they had simply drifted into the
habit.
With the man it usually takes the
form OF fault-fnding at home, and 1t
is really up to his wife to cure him
of 1t before he becomes too much Of a
growler.
This may be done by the perfectly
simple expident Of firmly refusing to
stand for it, The woman who
meekly submits to fau~lt-findings and
naggings will have to do so all her
days.
It is a mighty bad habit for a mar
to come home for dinner and notice
everything that goes wrong instead OF
being pleased at the agreeable features
of a home.
Such a man deserves to have none.
The habit of being fault-fnding is
apt to show in a woman's attitude to-
ward her friends. She becomes exact
ing In her demands upon them
over-critical of their ways, mannerisms
and mental attitude toward her.
She becomes in the n positively
morbid, and every unanswered letter,
fevery silence. every Indifferent OK
preston caused, perhaps, by a sick
headache, has to be explained away
by the friends of the critical n untl
friendship with her becomes the worst
kind of a bore.
Women who become over-critical are
always seeing the faults In their
friends, never their virtues. Is it won
derful that after awhile they have
none to love them?
The eye that detects a button IN
fastened or a glove ripped at first
glance is usually slow to see a be-
coming hat or a pretty pair of shoes.

QUITE a number of volumes have

relatively recently that endeavors have

that everything has its influence on

produced the model nursery. the re-

ideal home, and valuable hints were
forthcoming.
Such hints, given in a vivid and de-
lightful style, are to be u In a
book by M. Marcel Braunschwig, en-
titled "L'Art ct L'Enfant," and which
was quite recently published in Paris.

because of the r~ecollections and asso-
Citations connected with them. Our
hands by touching them leave on them
a little of our physical being, and our
eyes, so often resting on them, transfer
to them some of our inner being.
Again, those objects pass through
various periods; they have their youth
and old age, and thus acquire an ele-
ment of poesy. 1t is our duty to ex-
tract hat poetic charm from the OBJ
jects among which we live, and to
make our children appreciate that
charm.
"Since it is chiefly for the sake of the
aesthetic education of children that we
advise parents to enhance their homes,
it is evident that they must TAX a
peculiar care in adjoining the nursery.
The English nursery deserves great
praise. It should be said, however,
that everything in it is arranged ac-
