rash which was very itchy and ran

till it spread to his arms, legs and
then to his entire body. He got so
bad that he came near dying. The

A WIDOWS LUCK
Quit the Thing That Was Slowly In
iurins Her.

A woman tells how coffee kept her
from insuring her life:
Il suffered for many years chiefly
from trouble with my heart, with
severe nervous headaches and neu-
ralgia: but although incapacitated
at times for my housework, | did not
realize the gravity Of my condition till
l was rejected for life insurance, be-
cause, the examining physician said,
my heart was so bad he could not pass
me.
This distressed me very much, as
I was a widow and had child de-
pendent upon me. It was to protect
her future that wanted to insure
my life.
Fortunately for me, happened to
read an advertisement containing a
testimonial from a man who had been
affected In the same way that l was
with heart trouble, and who was bene-
flied by leaving of coffee and using
Postum. l grasped at the hope this
held out, and made the change at
once.
my health began to improve imme-
diately. The headaches and neuralgia
disappeared, gained in flesh. and my
appetite came back to me. Greatest
of all, my heart was strengthened
from the beginning. and soon all the
distressing symptoms passed away. No
more waking up in the night with my
heart trying to fly out OF my mouth!
Then l again made application for
life insurance, and had no trouble In
passing the medical examination.
1T was seven years ago that Be

~ the ingratitude of penuri-
Gus and unfilial children. Technically,
this shield Is known as the Division
of Domestic Relations, Department of
Public Charities" In simpler phrase.
it is the court of appeal for every
father and mother, whose children re-
fuse TO support them in their old age.
writes Anna Steese Richardson in the
New York World.
Through it's doors, day after day,
files a line of enfeebled, decrepit
penniless, hopeless humanity pleading
for a corner in which they may await
the coming of the grim reaper, just a
little corner, little warmth, little
raiment, little food. And after them
files another line of the next genera
ton, some of them sullen, some OF
them hard. some Of them ashamed,
but all of them guilty of deliberately
Sinking their responsibilities as chill
dren.
Some of the most able social work
ers on Father Knickerbocker's pay
roll are employed in this division of
domestic relations. Their work re-
quires a broad knowledge of human
ity They must possess patience to
hear both sides of the story. and wis
dom to sort truth from falsehood.
And above all things. these workers
must have the tact and the sympathy
to touch chords of tenderness and
duty long silent.
The work starts in the basement
residence, No. 1914 East Fifty-ninth
street.

And so she opens the door and
steps inside, a candidate for the aims
house at Father Knickerbockers ex

The clerk behind the freshlygilded
latticework of fiuted iron asks her q
few questions Then comes a quick
decision.
"Oh, if you have three sons they
must take care of you. You didn't
want to go to the almshouse. Go ur

relations, and they will hunt up your
