A GOOD CHANGE
A Change of Food Works Wonders.

The wrong food and drink causes a
lot of trouble in this world. To
change the food is the first duty of
every person that is Ill, particularly
from stomach and nervous troubles.
As an illustration: A lady In Mo. has,
with her husband, been brought around
to health again by leaving of coffee
and some articles of food that did
not agree with them. They began US
ing Postum and Grape-Nuts food. She
says:
For a number Of years I suffered
with stomach and bowel trouble
which kept getting worse unutil was
very III most of the time. About four
years ago left off coffee and began
taking Postum. My stomach and
bowels improved right along, but was
so reduced in flesh and so nervous that
the least thing would overcome me.
"Then I changed my food and be-
gan using Grape-Nuts in addition to
Postum. / lived on these two prin-
cipally for about four months. Day
by day l gained In flesh and strength
until now the nervous trouble has en-
tirely disappeared and feel that
owe my life and health to Postum and
Grape-Nuts.
Husband is 70 years old and he was
troubled for a long time with occa-
sional cramps, and slept badly. Finally
prevailed upon him to leave off coffee
and take Postum. He had stood out
for long time, but after he tried
Postum for a few days he found that
he could sleep and that his cramps
disappeared. He was satisfied and has
never gone back to coffee.
Il have brother in California who
has been using Postum for several
years; his whole family use 1t also bes
cause they have had such good results
from It."

spInster of To-Day by No Means the
Grabbed Old Maid Of the
"Comic" Papers.

The day of the typical grabbed old
maid Is passed. Even the comic pa
pers have ceased to make fun Of spin
sterhood in this guise. Her place
has been taken by the independent
woman who quickly enough finds her
own niche in the world, and who gen.
orally has plenty of common sense to
spare for the benefit of others.
The old maid of today finds a
whole realm of interest awaiting her,
and plenty OF work which she cares
to do. No longer is she condemned
to solitude and a cat, no longer is
spinisterhood regarded as term OF
reproach and looked upon as a con-
dition to be ashamed Of.
Look at any of the big charities.
any of the numerous boards Of man
agement, and you will see the old
maid triumphant and at her best, hap
by enough in her work and her ef-
forts to help humanity.

Marriage.

A game of chance in which the
chances are about even. The man
leads at first, but after leaving the al
tar he usually follows breathlessly in
his wife's trail. The rules are very
confusing. If a masked player holds
you up some night at the end of a long
gun, it is called robbery, and entities
you to telephone the police, but If your
wife holds you up for much larger
amount the next morning at the end of
long hug, it is termed diplomacy,
and counts in her favor. In this, as in
other games of life, wives are usually
allowed more privileges than other
outlaws.-Judge.

ers of Dressed Meat, and
Lost Money.

Speaking of the present prosperity
of the farmer, Assemblyman Warren
Pine of Riverside, related little story
at Trenton the other day which would
seem to indicate the agriculturist Is
not always far.seeing with regard to
his finances.
Some time ago. Mr.. Pine said, he
was on train and overheard the con-
versation of two farmers who were on
their way to Trenton. First they
talked about the dry spell they had
last summer, then the game laws, and
finally one of them remarked that he
had heard that Josh Hankins had had
his annual hog killing.
"Yaas," returned the other with a
chuckle, "and he didn't do gosh
dasted thing but bunko himself good
an plenty" ...
How did he bunko himself?"
queried the first, wonderingly. HE
got good price fer 'em. didn't he?" y
''Yaas," answered the second, with
another gleeful chuckle, that was
Their whole derned trouble. He got
such good price fer 'em tibet he
sold Their whole bloomin' lot. an didn't
keep none for his own eatin'." ...
"Ye hev kind o. got me, BILL" was
the puzzled response of the first "Ye
will hev ter come again"
1T is as easy ter see as slippin' off

all them hogs at $40 a hundred. an
now he is buyin' them back fer his

A "Mad March Hare" Party.

With "Alice in Wonderland" in
mind, hostess planned this party,
founding 1t on the Halter and the
Dormouse." who were forever drink
ing tea. This tempestuous month is
the time to give 1t.
1t was luncheon to which a dozen
guests were hidden. When they en-
tered the dining room the windows
were open, the curtains flying about.
chairs were overturned, pictures awry
and apparently chaos was the only
word with which to describe the
scene On the table there was a large
brown rabbit standing on his
launches, one ear turned back. and
with wisps of straw clinging to his
fur. The center of the table had a
large straw hat, the Halter" evident
ly. 1t was filled with mass of spring
blossoms and vines, placed with a
studied careless effect. A wee choco-
late mouse peeping out of the hat rep
resented the dormouse. There were
dishes Of olives. bonbons. silver.
china, tumblers. ETC., on the table. and
soon order was restored, and just as
every one thought there was no more
mad" about the party, the hostess
said: Please change places with
your right hand neighbor." Then she
gave each one yellow pad to which
pencil was attached and asked that
an illustration of a March street
scene be made with only four strokes
of the pencil; then places were
changed with the next course, and
four more strokes were made by the
guest who took the pad her neighbor
had left. When dessert came each
guest kept her pad and finished the
sketch which was at the place, sign
ing her name. Afterward these mad
productions were pinned up for in
spection. A handsomely bound copy
of Alice in Wonderland" was pre-
scented as a prize for the best sketch.
