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 l was
nervous and extremely respondent;
had little mental or physical strength
left, had kidney trouble and constipa-
tom
The FIRST noticeable beneft 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 I became less Respondent,
and the desire to be active again
showed proof OF renewed physical and
mental strength.
II am steadily gaining In physical
strength and brain power. i formerly
did mental work and had to give It up
on account of coffee, but since using
Postum am doing hard mental labor
with less fatigue than ever before"

That evening Jarvis called up the

The soul-racking tale poured into
the ears OF little Ethel Murray could
result only in one thing-a missive
promptly penned to the profligate EN-
cry Jarvis. assuring him that she had
learned all, and asking to be released
from the engagement.
Il know of the skeleton in your
closet. wrote Ethel (here she applied
a dainty bit of cambria to streaming
eyes ordinarily as sunshiny and blue
as the sky of June morning). II am

me and told me all, feel that | could

The rest Of the letter was a ram
bling plant, save on one subject-the
engagement existing between these
two must be considered past history.
That was plain.
For more than a year the daughter
Of Burgess Murray, the biggest man
politically in the community, and EN-
cry Jarvis, a clerk in Gisson's drug
store. had been making plans for a
future that would embrace them both.
Jarvis was an ambitious young fellow,
well liked by every one, and seeming

Good Example Of Scottish Humor in
Remark Made by Railroad
Porter.

Scottish humor is dry rather than
boisterous, and / always think there
is exquisite drollery in the story OF
the Stonehaven railway porter and the
Salvation Army captain" To catch
the hang Of a little yarn readers must
remember that Stonehayen lies to the
south of Aberdeen. The London train
had drawn up at Stonehaven on ac-
count of slight mishap mile or two
ahead, and Andra, the old porter, had
got into conversation with Salvation
Army officer who had popped his head
out of the compartment to ask the
reason for the delay.
AYE aye" unused Andra, after CIV
ing the desired information, 'ye'll be
for Aberdeen, I'm thinkin'?"
Eyes, my man. was the reply;
I'm bound for Aberdeen-a very
wicked place, I'm told"
What MIGHT we be goin' to dae
there, sir, II it's as bad as a that?'
asked Andra, rather amused at the
visitors words.
All" was the pious answer, I'm
going to drive the devil out OF Aber-
deem"

porter the pawky retort:
See an drive him north, cheil;

Musical Training and EIocutiOn as an
Accomplishment.

In our thriving little city Of Leaven-
worth, there is permanently located
Mrs. Mabel Hutchings instructor on the
piano and Of elocution. Mrs. Hutch
ings is a graduate Of Prof. Shapes
Academy of Music, and is also grad
uate Of Belasco's School of Oratory Of
San Francisco. She has had much ex-
perience in the dramatic line, having
been a member Of Belasco's Stock Co.,
at the Alcazar Theatre, in San Fran
cisco, and for some time past, she has
been in vaudeville, in musical act,
playing seven novelty musical insru-
ments.
Speaking OF elocution, which Mrs.
Hutchings believes every child should
be taught, she says. The importance
and utility OF elocution is so generally
conceded, and so fully appreciated,
that it is only necessary for US to give
a brief summary Of its scope, and to
mention few Of the uses to which II
may be applied. Elocution does
not consist in mere imitation
of the voice and manner Of the teacher,
nor in the learning TO recite pieces as
a parrot learns to talk. Its province is
to aid the pupil in acquiring ease, grace,
and versatility in gesture. 1t imparts
a knowledge OF correct breathing, and
the art Of utilizing the breath in the
proper production of tone. To disci-
pine and develop the voice in quail
ties, compass, strength, fexibility and
control. To communicate a practical
knowledge Of the principles and rules
in meditation and expression. By
such course Of instruction, the indi-
viduality of the student is best preser-
we'd. This is matter of the greatest
importance-especially to one who has
marked natural ability. The following
are some OF the benefits to be derived
from the study, and the uses to which
the art may be applied.
Elocution is a means for artistic and
intellectual culture.
It is an accomplishment.
1t improv the conversational
powers.
1t is the best form Of gymnastics
exercising in a salutary manner the
most important functions Of mind and
body.
Thru proper direction Of its breath
ing and vocal exercises, il is made an
invaluable factor for the preservation
and restoration Of health.
It aids in getting higher apprecia-
ton of the beautiful and grand in litera-
ture.
1t is one of the essential branches
of oratory, and is necessary to the high
