Tips Of Royalty.

A German newspaper publishes
some particulars Of the tips and gratu.
tiles distributed by royal person
ages on their travels. The kaiser has
a tariff that provides with German
bureaucratic thoroughness for every
claim upon his generosity when trav.
cling. and. what is more. every recipi.

him. 1t is different In the case Of
Nicholas H.. certainly the richest man

peror lacks the money sense entirely.
like his grandfather. and the gifts Of
various kinds arranged for his travels
are on a scale OF amazing extrava-
gance. But by the time they reach
the benetciaries they have shrunk to
average proportions owing to graft. II
is even said on the best possible au-
thority that the Jewels OF the decora-
tions which his majesty bestows on
the dignitaries Of foreign courts IN
variably are found to have turned

AsT0NIsHED THE "0LD MAN"
His 'Rah 'Rah Son by No Means the
"Dude" He Had Hitherto
Seemed to Be.

The new governor of a western
state has two sons. One is big and
husky like his father. but the other is
more slight: and at times he rather
vexes his father by his affectation Of
'rah-'rah-boy clothes and a general air
Of lassitude and dudishness.
The two sons and the father were
In the library one night and the name
Of a prizefight referee came into the
conversation. The 'rah.'rah boy had
been sitting by. twiddling his thumbs.
but his ears pricked up at the mans
name and he drawled: II rather like
that chap. He's all right"
What do you know about him?"
the other brother asked, rather con-
temptuously.
.'Oh. he gave me a shade the best

father and brother shouted.

CHILDREN AFFECTED
BY Mothers Food and Drink.

Many babies have been launched
into life with constitutions weakened
by disease taken In with their moth
ers' milk. Mothers cannot be too care
full as to the food they use while nurs-
ing their babes.
The experience OF a Kansas City
mother is case in point:
Il was a great coffee drinker from a
child. and thought could not do With
out It. But I found at last 1t was do
ing me harm. For years l had been
troubled with dizziness, spots before
my eyes and pain in my heart, to
which was added. two years later, q
chronic sour stomach.
The baby was born Z months ago,
and almost from the beginning. 1t, too,
suffered from sour stomach. She was
taking It from me!
In my distress I consulted a friend
OF more experience and she told me
to quit coffee. that coffee did not
make good milk. I have since ascer-
tained that It really dries up the milk
so. quit coffee and tried tea and
at last cocoa. But they did not agree
with me. Then I turned to Postum
with the happlest results. 1t proved
to be the very thing needed. 1t not
only agreed perfectly with baby and
myself. but It increased the flow OF
my milk
my husband then quit coffee and
used Postum and quickly got we'll OF
the dyspepsia with which he had been
troubled. I no longer suffer from the
dizziness. blind spells. pain in my
heart or sour stomach
Now we all drink Postum from my
husband to my seven months old
baby. It has proved to be the best
hot drink we have ever used. We
would not give up Postum for the best
coffee we ever drank" Name given
