stead of good.
well, as a matter of fact, If these
cavaliers knew what l know about
some tribes, they would speak less
confidently. Some tribes are so de-
based that to do them anything but
good would hardly be possible. They
are, in fact, just like the ugly wom-
an who visited the beauty doctor
This woman was ugly in every fea-
ture, but her nose was particularly
ugly. That, no doubt, was why she
desired the beauty doctor to begin
on it.
"I am willing she said, to pay
you literally, doctor, but l demand in
return substantial results. We will
start with my nose. Can you guar
antee to make it ideally beautiful
1.-THE doctor, after looking attentive
ly at the woman's nose, replied:
"'Well, madam, I can't say as to
ideal beauty, but a nose like yours 1
couldn't help improving if l hit with
a mallet.'"

VIM He Mas Sorry

To impress on young children just
what should and what should not be
done and why, is among the most try
ing problems of parents, as evidenced
by the recent experience Of West
Philadelphia mother. Last Sunday
she asked her small son, aged eight to
carry a chair for her from the dining
room to the parlor. He started off
willingly, but in the hall he tripped
and fell Amid the crash could be
heard the boy giving vent to utter
a pirate of ancient days. The mother
ances that would have done credit to
q pirate of ancient days. The mother
was taken by surprise and was greatly
shocked. She gave the boy a long
and serious talk on the subject Of pro-
family. This apparently did not make
the right impressio~ for when she
concluded the boy added to her dis
comfiture by exclaiming, 81 am sorry
l swore, mamma, but l forgot 1t was

LACK OF MONEY
Was a Godsend in This Case.

1t is not always that q lack of
money is a benefit.
A lady Of Green Forest, Ark, owes
her health to the fact that she could
not pay in advance the fee demand
ed by a specialist to treat her for
stomach trouble. In telling of her
case she says:
81 had been treated by four differ
ent physicians during 10 years of
stomach trouble. Lately l called on
another who told me he could not cure
me; that had neuralgia of the stom-
ach. Then l went to a specialist who
told me / had catarrh of the stomach
and said he could cure me in four
months but would have 70 have his
money down. l could not raise the
necessary sum and in my extremity
was led to quit coffee and try Postum,
80 l stopped coffee and gave Post
um thorough trial and the results
have been magical. / now sleep well
at night, something I had not done
for long time; the pain in my stom-
ach is gone and l am a different
woman.
81 dreaded to quit coffee, because
every time had tried to stop it l suf-
fered from severe headaches, so con-
tinued to drink it although l had rea-
son to believe 1t was injurious to me,
and was the cause of my stomach
trouble and extreme nervousness. But
when had Postum to shift to 1t was
different.
ITO my surprise did not miss cof-
fee when 1 began to drink Postum
Coffee had been steadily and sure
ly killing me and / didn't fully realize
what was doing 1t until quit and
changed to Postum"

that when the Salt Lake cutoff was

They had their pictures taken at
the right spot scenically. Mr.. Harri-

When the pictures were printed and

stood at the end?" asked the photog-
rapher. "Why, cut him off"
