CLEAR-HEADED,

Head Bookkeeper Must Be Reliable.
The chief beokkeeper in large bust
ness house in one of our great West
ern cities speaks of the harm coffee
did for him:
my wife and I drank our first cup
of Postum a little over two years
ago, and we have used it ever since,
to the entire exclusion of tea and cot
fee 1t happened in this way:
About three and a half years ago
l had an attack of pneumonia, which
left a memento in the shape of dys-
pepsia, or rather, to speak more cor
rectIy, neuralgia of the stomach. My
cup Of cheer had always been coffee
or tea, but l became convinced, after
a time, that they aggravated my stom-
ach trouble. 1 happened to mention
the matter to my grocer one day and
he suggested that l give Postum a
trial
Next day it came, but the cook
made the mistake Of not boiling it
sufficiently, and We did not like it
much. This was, however, soon rene
died, and now we like it so much that
we will never change back Postum,
being a food beverage instead of a
drug, has been the means of curing
my stomach trouble, verify believe,
for l am we'll man to-day and have
used no other remedy.
MY work as chief bookkeeper in
Dur Co.'s branch house here is of a
very confning nature. During my
fofee-drinking days I was subject to
nervousness and the blues in addition
to my sick spells These have left
me since I began using Postum and
I can eonscientiously recommend it to
those whose work confines them to
long hours of severe mental exertion."
There's a Reason"
Look in pkgs for the little book,
'fThe Road to Wellville"
Ever read the above letter? A
new one appears from time TO time.
They are genuine, true, and full of
human interest.

Knee to Ankle . Mas. of Humor.

Knee to Ankle q Mass of Humcr.
About seven years ago small
abrasion appeared on my right leg
just above my ankle. It irritated NE
so that | began to scratch it and 1t
began to spread until my leg from my
ankle TO the knee was one solid scale
like q scab. The irritation was always
worse at night and would not allow
me to sleep, or my wife either, and it
was completely undermining our
health. l lost fifty pounds in weight
and was almost out Of my mind with
pain and chagrin as no matter where
the irritation came, at work, on the
street or in the presence of company,
| would have to scratch it until l had
the blood running down into my shoe.
l simply cannot describe my suffer
ing during those seven years. The
pain, modification, loss OF sleep, both
to myself and wife is simply indescrib-
able on paper and one has to expe-
rIence 1t to know what it is.
L tried all kinds Of doctors and rem
edies but l might as well have thrown
my money down a sewer. They would
dry up for little while and fill me
with hope only to break out again just
as bad if not worse. 1 had given I'D
hope Of ever being cured when was
induced by my wife to give the Cuti-
cura Remedies a trial After taking
the CUticura Remedies for a little
while l began to see a change, and
after taking a dozen bottles of Cuti-
cura Resolvent, in conjunction with
the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint-
ment, the trouble had entirely disap-
peared and my leg was as fine as the
day l was born. Now after a lapse Of
six months with no signs of a recur-
renee feel perfectly safe in extend
ing to you my heartfelt thanks for the
good the Cuticura Remedies have done
for me. l shall always recommend
them to my friends w. H. White,

THE WONDERBERRY
OR SUNBERRY

Has Proved a Great Success-Thou-
They Ever Grew.
The Wonderberry or Sunberry, the
marvellous garden fruit originated by
Luther Burbank, and introduced by
John Lewis ChiIds, the well-known
scotsman Of Floral Park, n. Y, has
proved a great success all over the
country. Thousands of people say it
is the best thing they ever grew.
Mr.. John Burroughs, the well-known
author, Naturalist and bosom-friend of
Theodore Roosevelt, says it is the
most delicious pie berry he ever tasted
and a marvellous eropper
A Director of the New York Agri-
cultural Experiment Station says it
fruits abundantly even in pure sand.
In the short season of Northwestern
Canada it is a godsend, and fruits long
after frost has killed most garden
truck
D. S. Hill, Wichita, Kan, says thirty
people grew it there last season with
perfect satisfaction.
K. S. Enochs, Hammond, La, says
it yields $3.50 worth of fruit per acre
with him. Mrs. ]. H. Powers, 4732
Kenwood avenue, Chicago, raised
enough berries on space 4x10 feet
to supply herself and friends.
J. P. Swallow, Kenton, Ohio, says it's
equal for all purposes does not exist.
Rev. H. B. Sheldon, Pacific Grove,
Cal, says he likes the berries served
in any and every way.
w. T. Davis, Enon, Va, says it is
true to description in every way, and
fruits in three months from seed.
Judge Morrow, of U. S. Circuit
Court, says the Wonderberry is sim
ply delicious raw or cooked.
Mr.. Childs exhibited one plant five
months old bearing 10,375 berries
which measured about eight quarts.
Mrs. Hattie Vincent, Hayden, New
Mexico, says it stands long, hard
droughts of that climate and fruits
abundantly all summer
1t is certainly the most satisfactory
garden fruit and the greatest Novelty
ever introduced

GIadStOne's Memory.

Gladstones power of memory, Sir
Edward Hamilton testifes, the Lon
don Chronicle says, was always one
of his great assets. In his last years
he often lamented that it was not
what it had been, but even so it came
triumphantly out of some remarkable
tests.
In his SD year he set himself to
recall Manzoni's ode on the death of
Napoleon, which as a young man he
had translated into English. He had
entirely forgotten his own version, but
by dint Of hard digging or fishing
up" as he called it, he wrote down
104 of the 108 Italian lines. Two years
later he essayed to write from mem
DRY complete list of all the men who
had been his cabinet colleagues and
enumerated 6S of the 70.
The veterans testing how his mem
DRY survived, recalls Lord Palmerston a
few weeks before his death climbing
to the top of some high ratings to
ascertain how much bodily energy he
had left.

Work of the Earthyyorm.

When we behold a wide, turf COW
cred expanse we should remember that
its smoothness, on which so much of
its beauty depends, is mainly due to
all the inequalities having been slowly
leveled by worms. 1t is a marvellous
reflection that the whole of the super
fetal mold over any such eXpanse has
passed and will pass again every few
years through the bodies of worms.
The pillow is one Of the most ancient
and most valuable of mans inven-
lions, but long before he existed the
land was, in fact, regularly plowed by
earthworms. 1t may be doubted
whether there are many other animals
which have played so important a
part in the history of the world as
have these lowly organized creatures.
Some other animals, however, still
more lowly rganized-namely corals
have done far more conspicuous
work in having constructed innum-
cradle reefs and islands in the great
oceans, but these are almost confined
to the tropical zones.

\ Successful Discuise.

1t is safe to say that nobody but an
lrishman could be the hero of the
following story. Mr.. Murphy, says a
writer in the Brooklyn Citizen, was
inquiring of his friend, Mr.. Doolan,
how his wife was feeling, after the ex-
element of the recent wedding of
their daughter. She's we'll enough, y
replied the other, excepting that she's
grieving over pair of illigant new
kid gloves that got lost on her that
evening.
She's feeling bad about thin, but
I've advertised in the paper, and I'm
thinking she'll get thin back again
befoor long. They cost Mrs. DooIan
two dollars and forty-five cints!"
Amt you afraid whoever got thin
will be slow to answer the advertise
ment?" inquired Mr. Murphy.
It's meself that knew how to fix
that" returned Mr.. Doolan. 81 adver-
tised thin illigant gloves was an ovid
pair, bursting away at the seams and
wurrth nobody's keeping!"

A Versatile Garden.

The jewellers in a seaport town oI
Massachusetts are justly proud OF
their gardens. 1t remained for a Wis
itor from a tiny village why round
the Cape" to say the first slightly dis
paraging word of these gardens. Ism t
this beautiful" his hostess asked, as
she paused under a rose arbor and
looked back over the stately ranks OF
larkspur, monk's-hood, holIyhocks, and
many other favorites.
Its a handsome gardin-of its
kind" said the visitor, dispassionately,
but it amt quite up to the mark,
when you consider our gardins"
Indeed" and the lady looked at
him, too amazed to be angry. What
sort of gardens have you, please?"
Well" said her Cape visitor, calm
ly, what we call a good gardin is one
where you can start out with two big
baskets and hoe, step through the
fower-gardin part, past the Vegeta-
bles, down to the water; dig your
clans fust, pick your sweet corn, lay
your posfes on top o. that, and hand
the whole lot over at the kitchen door.
There's your shore dinner and trim
Minis ali from one gardin."

An Anneo1 To Sxmnatbv

Advertising is nowadays almost a
fine art. Clever advertisements attract
customers in two ways-frst, because
they effectually call attention to the
goods, and, second, because of their
cleverness pure and simple. Such. a
one is the following, quoted from NJ.
A. P. which adorned boot shop in the
Rue d'Amsterdam, in Paris:
Liquidation.
With tears in my eyes, / am obliged
to clear the whole of my stock of boots.
To get rid of it all in a week l offer
it to you at loss of so per cent.
My husband seeing fit to abandon me
with five children.
Why
Can't I go on without my husband
Because my husband alone was able
to octain job lines from the big pro-
Sincial and foreign bootmakers.

extraordinary low prices, which will
enable me to clear out my stock and
