CLEAR-HEADED
Head Bookkeeper Must Be Reliable.

The chief bookkeeper In a large
business house in one of our great
Western cities speaks of the harm cof-
fee did for him:
my wife and | 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 coffee. 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
rectly, neuralgia of the stomach. My
cup of cheer had always been coffee
or tea, but ] became convinced, after
a time, that they aggravated my stom-
ach trouble. l 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 1t
sufficiently, and we did not like it
much. This was, however, soon rem
edied, and o we like it so much
that we will never change back. Pos
tum, being a food beverage instead of
a drug, has been the means of curing
my stomach trouble, l verify believe,
for / am a well man to-day and have
used no other remedy.
my work as chief bookkeeper in
our Co.'S branch house here is of a
very combining nature. During my
coffee-drinking days l was subject to
nervousness and the blues in addi-
ton to my sick spells. These have
left me since | began using Postum,
and / can conscientiously recommend
It to those whose work confines them
to long hours Of severe mental exer-
ton"

HOW Chinese Are Buried.

1lo" ~
There are no cemeteries in China,
though graves may be met with ev-
erywhere in the land of the Celestials.
The Chinese common people bury
their dead on their own ground or
by the wayside, so that one cannot
travel in any direction without en-
countering a grave. The graves are
sacred and must not be disturbed.
They are carefully attended by the
living, every year being visited by
votive candles and fireworks, meat
and wine. The foreign element per-
sistently seeks to introduce railways
into China, but to go in anything like
a straight line a railway, no matter
where laid, would have to u over
thousands of graves. To the Chinese
this is dissertation, and they will die
before they permit it. In some meas
ure this accounts for the antipathy
of the Chinaman to foreigners.-Ar-
gus.

Price of Food.

A Calcutta correspondent writes:
Quite one of the most serious ques-
lions confronting India at the present
time is the ominous rise in the price
of food, quite apart from famine; and
also the rise in the cost of living. 1t
is difficult to ascertain the cause,
which is variously held to be the
shortage of crops, the extension OF
lutte cultivation at the expense of rice,
the currency operations of govern
ment. and the extension of manufac-
lures and a rise in the ideal OF living
among great masses of the people,
