FROM TEXAS
Some Coffee Facts From the Lone
Star State.

From a beautiful farm down in Tex
as, where gushing springs unite to
form babbIing brooks that. wind their
sparkling way through f1oWery meads,
comes a note of gratitude for delivery
from the coffee habit
''When my baby boy came to me
five years ago, began to drink
Postum, having feeling that it would
be better for him and me than the old
kind of drug-laden coffee. l was not
disappointed in it, for it enabled me, a
small. delicate woman, to nurse q
bouncing, healthy baby IA months.
81 have since continued the use of
Postum for have grown fond of it,
and have discovered to my joy that it
has entirely relieved me Of a bilious
habit which used to PROSTATE me two
or three times a year, causing much
discomfort to my family and suffering
to myself.
MY brOther-in-law was cured OF
chronic constipation by leaving on
coffee and using Postum. He has be-
come even more fond OF it than he
was Of the old coffee.
In fact, the entire family, from the
latest arrival "a 2-year-old who always
calls for his 'potie' first thing in the
morning). up to the head of the house,
think there is no drink so good or so
wholesome as Postum" Name given

Senior Rodriguez nodded.

Senior Rodriguez started toward the
closed door just as there came a tim

at Mr.. Grimm, who nodded, then he
called:

entered. She was clad in some fImv.

MISS SUSAN GLAsPELL's DOG
VOLTA the Original of the Puppies in
Her Story, "The
Visioning."

Miss Susan Glaspell, the author, has
a dog, which fact is of more impor-

there are no two more real characters

1t was Miss GlaspelPs own dog,
Bohemian beast, that inspired the ere
alton of 'The VisiOnings" twin puppy
clowns. The real dog also has a
French name, VOLTA. When its owner
> bought it, over in Paris, she wanted at
first to name it Raspail, both in mem
DRY of the boulevard on which she
lived and as a sympathetic cognOmen
for a sensitive sOuled Partisan dog.
But her family objected. They could
not see their way clear to shouting,
Come RaspailI RaspaiI! RaspaiI!" So
Miss GlaspelI compromised on VOLTA.
VOLTA has vagaries. 1t is a wan
derer. It is a collie, and a collie. it
evidently thinks, ought to be afield-

VOLTA goes. Fortunately it wears a

Cressy, has been secretly negotiating
with Senior Rodriguez for certain as

days ago these negotiations were sue

Senior Rodriguez, fifty thousand dol
lars in American gold. the first Of
four payments of similar sums. This
gold was to have been shipped to Phil

steamer for Venezuela
Mr.. Grimm nodded.
The fact that this gold was In

ct was dark by the time we reached
Alexandria, but we stuck to the car
ahead, running without lights until
we came in sight of Druid Hill Park,
and then we had to show lights or be
held up. We covered those forty
miles going in less than two hours.

slowed up a little, and ran off the
turnpike into North Avenue, then into
North Charles Street, and slowly
