THE TEA PENALTY.
"A Strong Mans Experience.

Writing from busy railroad town
the wife Of an employe of one OF the
great roads says:
my husband is a railroad man who
has been so much benefited by the use
Of Postum that he wishes me to ex-
press his thanks to you for the good
1t has done him. His waking hours
are taken up with his work, and he
has TO time to write himself.
"He has been a great tea drfnker
all his life and has always liked f&
strong.
Tea has, of late years, acted ON
him like morphine does upon most
people. At first it soothed him. but
only for an hour or SO, then 1t began
to affect his nerves to such an extent
that he could not sleep at night, ana
he would go to his work In the morn
ing wretched and miserable from the
loss of rest. This condition grew con-
stantly worse, until his friends per
suaded him, some four months ago. to
quit tea and use Postum.
AT first he used Postum only for
breakfast, but as he liked the taste or
It. and it somehow seemed to do him
good, he added it to his evening meal
Then, as he grew better. he began to
drink 1t for his noon meal, and now
he will drink nothing else at table.
His condition is so wonderfully i'm
proved that he could not be hired to
give up Postum and go back to tea
His nerves have become steady and
reliable once more, and his sleep In
easy, natural and refreshing.
He owes all this to Postum. for he
has taken no medicine and made mo-
other change In his diet.
"IIis brother, who was very nervous
from coffee-drinking, was persuaded
by us to give up the coffee and use
Postum and he also has recovered his
health and strength" Name given by

COTTON TREES OF BRAZIL
Pods Contain Long and Strong Fiber
Good for Blankets and
Cotton Irvine.

There are indigenous to Brazil and
growing wild in certain regions two
well-known species of trees which are
of interest to the commercial world
because of their possibilities as pro-
ducers of cotton fiber. To those who
know the cotton-growing industry as
ii exists in the United States and in
other countries, the idea of cotton be-
ing produced from trees presents a
markable fact about these trees is
their occurrence in precisely those
regions where it has seemed to be i'm
possible or at least difficult to grow
ordinary cotton. No other country in
the world possesses so large an area
of land which may be utilized for the
growing of cotton as does Brazil, and
that in other areas it is possible to
cultivate trees for the production of
cotton fibers must appeal to the tex
reproducing world as indicating that
Brazil must be reckoned with as z
future source of large quantities of
the worlds cotton supply.
one or tneSe trees is calleu Bar
raguda," from its being barrel
shaped, after the peculiar, swelled
trunk which is its characteristic. The
tree grows twenty-five to thirty-five
feet in height, tapering from the great
bulge in the trunk to a very slender
one, from which branches form about
twelve feet above the ground. The
trunk is entirely covered with hard
and sharp thorns. The pods in which
the cotton grows are five to eight
inches long and two to four inches in
diameter The fiber is coarse and
white and adheres closely to the
seeds, which are somewhat smaller
than peas. It is long and strong
fiber, and while too coarse for use
in textiles OF any degree of fineness
it would lend itself admirably to the
fabrication or blankets, cotton twine,
and large variety of other mate
rails
The habitat of this tree is in cen
trail and southern Bahia, and it grows
to a lesser extent in the State of

The Younger Generation.

New York Tribune: What is the

youth. In one sense this is true
that OF dependence youth be-
gins to knock at the door the mo,
ment ii is born, clamoring to it's ell
ders with constantly increasing in
sistence for care and support until
the golden hour when youth, with its
spontaneous omniscience and bound
less self-conlldence, begins to mis-
take itself for the younger genera
ton. Yet that is the very period,
though it does not know it, when
youth is least able to toddle on it's
own unguided feet, still less to
guide the footsteps of others. 1t
pushes doors open, often because it
falls helplessly against them; it puts
its knees and elbows where they do
not belong, but its elders are the
real younger generation still, mat
urity in possession and command,
tolerant, a little amused, occasional
understanding. 1t employs youths
and ideals, it will even
allow the youngsters to climb the
steeples of its own mature designing
and building, because ii has learned
the educational value of early tum-
bles but it keeps wise and sane con,
troll. In this deeper, truer sense the
younger generation" does not come
into effective social being until its
own children are already knocking
at the door.

powder, which had come in his faith

kets with powder, when no one was
watching, and in SO doing got a
quantity of it over his face and
hands. Then he went to a suitable
spot and there dug hole into which
he put quantity of powder. No
sooner, however had he lighted a
match than he was enveloped in
flames which badly burned his
hands, face and body, igniting his
clothes. He is getting along nicely.

Consider The Hen.

National Farmer: Consider the
hen, gentle reader, in the attain
ment of dazzling success through
singleness of purpose. Calmly and
collectedly concentrating her in
dustry, energy and activity on the
business in hand, with no thought
for the frothy and volatile in life,
her whole nature paesionately devot-
ed to laying another egg and putting
on little more white and dark meat
to grace the dinner table, she stays
faithfully on the job, fooling away
no time arguing politics. In her
modest, transformations way the AM
erican hen last year piled up bust
ness that makes the Washington
monument look like a pimple. The
poultry products marketed in the
United States aggregated$600 ,OO0,-
600, or more than $100,O0O,0OO in
excess of the entire gold output of
the country in the last ten years.
And when in addition we consider
that vast amount of eggs and fowls
consumed by poultry owners, the to-
tai value of the American hen
amounts to more than two billion
dollars yearly.

CIRCUS ATTRACTS BIG CROWD.
Ten Thousand People Enjoy Great
Day of Fun in
EeCOrah.

1t has been a good many years
since DEBORAH has had one of the big
circuses, and when the announce
ment was made by this paper that
the great Forepaugh & Sells circus
had been secured for this city
through the efforts of the DEBORAH
Commercial Club, it was hailed with
glee by everyone within twenty-five
miles, and by noon last Thursday
you would have thought, had you
been in DEBORAH, that everyone was
here. Early in the morning they
commenced to come. Up on the state
line they went to bed right after
supper, got up at midnight, and
started for DEBORAH, and when the
trains began to pull in early in the
morning there was a big crowd on
hand to see them unload. All
through the morning constant
streams of teams could be seen COM
ing in from every direction. One
resident of the west side told us he
counted three hundred teams going
past his home while he sat on the
porch and smoked his pipe, and then
he got too tired to count any more.
BY the time for the parade to pass,
eleven O'Clock, one of the largest
crowds ever in DEBORAH was on the
streets. The parade was a magniti-
cent spectacle, and pleased every
body. Between that time and two
O'Clock the people continued to come,
and when the circus opened the big
tent was packed with ten thousand
people. The tents were pitched on
the old Montgomery homestead, own
ed by Nj. l. Toyen, an ideal spot for
circus. The plan to show on the
hitching grounds was abandoned at
the last moment, on account of it
being too soft. The circus was no
doubt the best ever seen here. From
every point of view it was a great
exhibition. The side show was also
good. 1t was a clean, modern cir
Gus and everybody was pleased with
it. One of the Ringing boys, who
own the show, was here to direct the
performance.
The one great disappointment OF
the day was the fact that they did
not show at night. They had a biz
jump to make, and had been show
ing to small crowds at night else
where, and did not think that ii
would pay them to show here, but in
this we think they were mistaken, as
another big crowd came in at night
and there would have been a very
good attendance, we are sure.
