Drinks and Love Mixed by Frenchman

tached to bakers cart on Aliso
street.
"Ah, re gran horse, re big one. !
LOT you, lof you," screamed the en-.
raptured Peter, with frantic ATTEMPTS
to embrace the animal. The horse
being of common parentage and hav.
ing no ambition to speak of, backed
away from the approaches of the little
man. Peter followed, hat in hand, max.
ing the most elaborate bows in tbs
direction of the equine, and at tho
same time casting the most beseech.
ing glances toward it.
The horse made few attempts to-
climb a telegraph pole, and Petep
transferred his affairs Of love to

Ing to enc1rcle the wagon with hix
arms In his effort to embrace this
wooden affinity, when the driver came
forth from nearby store, pried Peter
on with the toe of his shoe, and, using
the same system Of transmission de-
ivered him into the gutter.
Instantly forgetting the woe &C.
casioned by this painful scene, Peter
looked after the departing fat person
on the wagon panel, and then turned
his affections upon nearby hitching
post. He was embracing it with rap
ture, calling it by names of his former
loves-"Ah, Jeanette, Beebe, Julie.
Antoinette"-when a policeman came
along and took him to the police sta.
ton.
1t was thought there that the man
was insane. He embraced the bars of
his cell in the fondest manner, and
swore by all gods that he would be
true to each In turn until death.
An examination was ordered. and
Peter was found to be suffering Sc
verely from an attack of mixed drinks

drunk tank to sleep it of.

About the time that the first bad
season strikes a young farmer, the
crops are poor, the mortgage looks
big and the work harder than ever;
then is the time that the dog-at-root
kind of man hangs to it and wins. But
the gutter gives up just when, per-
haps, a turn for the better is at hand.
He will try something else. But every
business has it's bad seasons and it's
discouraging features, which bear
harder upon the beginner than upon
the man of experience and capital
Brace up, work hard, think harder and

A GOOD CHANGE
A Change of Food Works Wonders.

The wrong food and drink causes
lot of trouble in this world. To
change the food is the first duty Of
every person that is i'll, particularly
from stomach and nervous troubles.
AS an illustrations: A lady in Mo. has,
with her husband, been brought around
to health again by leaving of coffee
and some articles of food that did
not agree with them. They began u.s.

says:
For a number of years I suffered
with stomach and bowel trouble
which kept getting worse unutil was

until now the nervous trouble has en-
tirely disappeared and I feel that I
owe my life and health to Postum and
Grape-Nuts.
Husband is 70 years old and he was
troubled for a long time with occa-
sional cramps, and slept badly. Finally
prevailed upon him to leave of coffee
and take Postum. He had stood out
for a long time, but after he tried
Postum for a few days he found that
he could sleep and that his cramps
disappeared. He was satisfied and has
never gone back to coffee.

The burning of the palace of Chera-

national parliament held sessions,
takes on the aspect of a calamity,
since the direct property loss involved
Is estimated at $16,000,0OO, while the
destruction of archives and other be-
longings adds vastly to the deplorable
consequences. The building was one
of the "show Places of the Turkish

Choice of occupation is mostly a
matter of taste and aptitude No hon.
est calling is in itself much better or
worse than others. Every business is
considered the best by somebody,
while others declare it the worst of
all. The question is not have you
chosen the best vocation, but rather
have you found out where you belong?
The right road will seem to stretch
out before you the distance of a lite
time without barrier; the wrong
road will quickly lead to a blind wall,
or at best to a very steep hill.

1t looks like an investigation of food
prices and the cost of living all along

to have some of the ways corrected?

There is new pavement, intended
to resist the strenuous wear and tear
of automobiling. In England this
pavement is called Durax. It is Of
three-inch irregular cubes of hard
stone laid in small segments Of circles.
The stones can be cut by machinery,
and are comparatively inexpensive
On account of its cost, they are laid
without grout. Germany is putting
down good deal of Durax pavement,
which fact should be sufficient to en-
courage experiments with Durax in the
United States.

vogue" she said. THE hair is taken
down, shaken out and wet with gasoline
1t dries quickly, and when put UP is
found free from grease and dust. The
gasoline should be used with the great

of the hair. With blond hair I follow
this up with the cornmeal- brushing, a
very coarse grade of yellow cornmeal
, being shaken on the hair and then care
fully brushed out. 1t is astonishing,
to see how.f1uffy the hair appears after
this treatment, and for days it remains
in position, requiring no rats, puffs or
| brafds." Asked what was the safest
and best home preparation for keeping
the hair healthy and restoring prema-
