MORE THAN EVER
Increased Capacity for Mental Labor
Since Leaving OF Coffee.

Many former coffee drinkers who
have mental work to perform, day
after day, have found better capaci-
ty and greater endurance by using
Postum instead Of ordinary coffee. An
Illinois woman writes:
II had drank coffee for about twen-
ty years. and finally had what the
doctor called coffee heart / was
nervous and extremely respondent;
had little mental or physical strength
left, had kidney trouble and constipa-
ton.
"The first noticeable benefit derived
from the change from coffee to Postum
was the natural action of the kidneys
and bowels. In two weeks my heart
action was greatly improved and my
nerves steady.
Then L became less Respondent,
and the desire to be active again
showed proof Of renewed physical and
mental strength.
Il am steadily gaining in physical
strength and brain power. I formerly
did mental work and had to give 1t UP
on account of coffee. but since using
Postum I am doing hard mental labor
with less fatigue than ever before"

MENTAL CONDITION OF
COUNT is QUESTIONED

lula, Russia, Nov. 15.-The mystic
rious disappearance OF Count Leo Toll
stoi, the Russian novelist and social
reformer, has made a painful t'lpres-
sion. That he should decide IS spend
the evening of his days in solitude sur
prises no one acquainted with his ca
reer, but that he should deliberately de-
sert the wife who had borne him nine
children is difficult of belief even in
the light of his well known eccentrict-
ties of character.
The suggestion of failing mentality
Is accepted by many in explanation Of
the counts sudden leave taking, which
may have tragic sequel, as the count
ess is Frustrated. 1t has heen reported
that she had attempted her life. The
family was without a clue today. In a
letter left for his wife the count said:
Il can not continue to live surround
ed by luxury and like many other old
men, / retire from the world to COM
plete my life in solitude. 1 ask that you
do not seek my place of sojourn and
that you do not come to it, If 1t is dis
covered. / beg forgiveness for the grief
that / may cause you"
Lived Like Peasant.
The novelist's reference to livins
amid luxurious surroundings Is signifi-
cant Of his state of mind, as he has
long lived the life of a peasant. While
his family occupied substantial man
sion on the Yasneaya Poliana estate,
Tolstofs abode was a peasants hut,
partaking only of the simple peasants
food and wearing the PEASANTS cos
tune, rough blouse, wide trousers
tucked into his cowhide boots, a leath-
er belt and fur cap. He has not al
ways continued this humble mode of
life. but 1t has been his choice.
The first news of Tolstoi's disappear
once came from Prince Dimitry Obol-
ensky, who says the count left his
home several days ago accompanied by
DIR. Makovsky, his physician. That the
doctor should be party to the affair
Is another inexplicable feature. Mako
vetsky became the companion of the
count in succession to the latter's pri-
vate secretary, M. Guseff, whom the
government exiled to Siberia alleging
that he had influenced Tolstoi's anti
governmental writings.
Has Had Bad Health.
Tolstoi has been in i'll health for
some time. He suffered frequent fait-
ing spells and on October Is was I'M
conscious for hours. Later it was re-
ported that he had improved somewhat.
In his writings Tolstoi has condemned
suicide as immoral and irrational and
as indicating a perverted view Of the
significance Of life.
1t is believed Toistoi proceeded to an
old monastery in the government of
Kaluga, which adjoins the government
of Tula on the west.

scenes at the head offices OF the Birk-

WAD OF GREENBACKS
REMOVED FROM CALF

Spartanburg. S. c., Nov. 1e.--while
going milking, Mrs. Luther Calvert,
who lives at Clinton, dropped a
pocketbook containing five 500 bills, q
$40, a five three SIS, beside a silver
quarter. The money was missed an
hour later and thorough search re-
vealed the quarter, which showed
signs OF having been chewed on by a
calf.
A young heifer in the yard had a
guilty look and a veterinarian was
summoned. The roll was extracted
from the stomach Of the calf In bad
ly mutiliated condition. The bills were
taken to a local bank cashier, who sent
them to Washington to be redeemed.

Back to the Wild.

There was q time when all dogs
were wild and when what we call
wolves were different from other dogs
only as a collie now is different from
a Newfoundland. for instance. From
time to time you will hear Of dogs
that have returned to the life of their
ancestors and have run wild with the
wolves of the prairie or Of the woods.
In the town of Sandy in Oregon a
greyhound one night made the &C
Quaintance Of coyote, which is a
kind Of wolf, and ever since he has
lived away from the town, running
with the coyotes and approaching hui
man dwelling-places only to steal a
hen or two when he has been more
than usually hungry.
