which relieved me only for a little
while. Then every once in a while
would be suddenly doubled up with
an awful agony in my stomach. It
seemed as though every time took .
breath I would die. No one could
suffer any more and live.
Finally I got down 80 sick with

finally told me that II / did not give

but I felt I could not give it up.
However, Husband brought home
a package Of Postum and it was made
strictly according to directions. It
was the only thing that would stay on
my stomach. and I soon got SO I liked
1t very much.
Gradually l began to get better,
and week by week gained in strength
and health. Now am in perfect con-
dition, and | am convinced that the
whole cause of my trouble was coffee
drinking, and my getting better was
due to leaving off coffee and taking

ENGLISH GOLF STORIES.
Some of the Yarns Told in Britain :

Sotne OF the yarns ICtQ III BRITAIN :
1900 Ciubhouses.
There are nearly 1900 golf club
houses in Great Britain and the
Strand Magazine is trying to discov-
er the funniest of the golf stories
which are told in these haunts. An
drew Lang offers the following as his
contribution:
"A determined player got into a
sand pit and fer a long time all that
his opponent saw of him was only dis
tinguishable through the dense clouds
of sand made by the violent action of
a niblick.
emerged from the pit, and his oppo-
nent, without expressing any surprise
or coincidence or annoyance at the de-
lay, merely asked him how many he
had played. Evidently the other was
not in a revealing mood.
81 went into that place. he replied
Jelly, at quarter past II o'clock. Il
is now quarter to /. You are at lib
erty, sir, to form your own estimate.
The scene of another yarn was the

hole. One OF them was possessed OF

the other was of the hit em-high-and-
often order.
asked his partner for the line of the
hole, and was told to play ON to DR..
SIS house, which was perched on
the skyline. The slasher let out, and
his bali was skied to an enormous
height.
You mistook me-" said the quiet
one. Il meant his earthly, not his heav-
emily habitation.''
On the course at BiarritZ there is
certain hole which can be reached in
one shot from the tee. The green,
however, is blind lying over the crest
of hill 1t is therefore customary to
send caddie forward to mark the |
ball.
On one occasion golfer hit a good |
straight shot over the hill, the ball |
dropping dead Oh the line fer the hole. |
Great was his rejoicing when coming |
up the hill to hear his caddie shouting
hat the ball was in the hole; indeed, |
The player was SO pleased (n1ver hav-
ing performed the feat before) that
ne made the caddie a present of five
francs.
The sequel to this event is remark
able. The story goes that on the fol-
owing day no fewer than seven play

MYSTERIOUS IDOL FOUND IN MEX

Unknown God Unearthed in Oaxaca
Believed to Date Back to the Time OF
Christ.
Mexico, Mexico.-Vainly calling out
"a word which none can interpret be-
cause the race which used it is no
more and because the language to
which it belonged is as yet a secret
hidden in the memorable past Of Mex
leo, an interesting Mexican god has
recently been received in this city by
William Neven from persons in charge
Of excavations on the until now little
known mOmoscles, or mounds, at
Cuitlacatl, to the west of Monte Alban
in OaXaca.
So far these studies have only deep
ened the mystery yelling alike the
nature Of the god represented, the peo-
pie who made and worshiped it and the
age in which they lived.
Going the idols challenged by the
Hebrew prophets one better, this god
not only has eyes that see not and ears
that hear not, but out of his grotesque
lips proceed word that now says not.
tit il known that this forked piece COM
ing from the lips stands for speech on
account of it's similarity to the CORES
ponding picture word, or rather sculp-
ture word, of the Axtecs.
Below this sign is an intricate de-
sign believed to represent the mes
sage or command that the god is de-
Hvering and may, IL Mr.. Blake's Opin-
ion that the god is the Chichimecan
and Aztec Quetzalcoatl liz correct, be
one of the ten commandments, or
more reasonably the epitome given by
Christ of the sum of "the law of the
prophets
This apparently far fetched theory
finds a base on the belief of the early
Spanish priests that Quetzalcoatl was
Saint Peter, who Travelled to Mexico
preaching the Gospel. If this should
prove true, this inscription might
prove to be the Rosetta stone of the
new word Chaldean.
Mr. Niven believes the idol dates to
before Christ, while DR.. Hewitt will
not give an opinion either pro or con
DR.. Hewitt, however, agrees with
Mr.. Niven that the god Is one of the
most perfect and interesting of its
class in existence. It is about two
feet in height and rests against an
object supposed to be an urn for the
ashes of the dead or the heart of the
inundated captives in battle.
Mr.. Blake's conclusion as to the
mysterious gods kinship with the
heavenly serpent" of the nations OF
the table land is based upon the orna-
ments resembling feathers and the SER
penis worn on the gods dress.
Quetzalcoatl also was represented
by the comet, and the feathers adorn-
ing the gods head also resemble crude
ly a comt's tail. The fact and the
presence at this time of Halley's comet
in the solar system was also comment
ed upon by some OF the examiners of
the relic.
