PROOF POSITIVE.
ExhortIna tho Ducks.

There are two tiny boys in this town
whose mother sings often to them at
their request, and as she is an ardent
church woman, the children hear as
many hymns as anything else. The 9TH
er day they were playing with their
wooden ducks in the bathtub. and
strangely enough the ducks were more
inclined to float sideways than in the
approved manner. After several at
temps to keep the misguided ducks
straight, the older boy shouted:
Stand up. duck. stand up!" Then
two-year-old. noting the familiar
phrase, leaned over the tub and ex-
horted: "'Tand up. duck! 'Tand up
for Jesus!"

EDITOR BROWNE
OF The Rockford Morning Star.

About seven years ago I ceased
drinking coffee to give your Postum a
trial.
Il had suffered acutely from various
forms of indigestion and my stomach
had become SO disordered as to repel
almost every sort Of substantial food.
Ny general health was bad. At close
intervals l would suffer severe attacks
which confined me In bed for a week
or more. Soon after changing from
coffee to Postum the Indigestion
abated, and in short time ceased
entirely. / have continued the daily
use of your excellent Food Drink and

indebted to you for the relief it has
brought me.

OF course, when mans health
shows he can stand coffee without
trouble, let him drink 1t, but most
highly organized brain-workers sim
ply cannot.
The drugs natural to the coffee ber-
ry affect the stomach and other organs
and thence to the complex nervous
system, throwing 1t out of balance and
producing disorders in various parts
Of the body. Keep up this daily pois-
oning and serious disease generally
supervenes. So when man or woman
finds that coffee is a smooth but dead
ly enemy and health is Of any value
at all, there is but one road-quit-
It Is easy to find out If coffee be tho
cause of the troubles, for II left of 10
days and Postum be used in its place
and the sick and diseased conditions
begin to disappear. the proof is un-
answerable.
Postum is not good II made by short
boiling. 1t must be boiled full 15 min
utes after boiling begins. when the
crisp flavor and the food elements arc
brought out of the grains and the bev-
erage is ready to fulfill its mission Of
palatable comfort and renewing the
cells and nerve centers broken down
by coffee.

GRIZZLY BEAR AND BUFFALO

While 1t isn't likely that the grizzly
pear Will ever become extinct, he has,
all the same, come to be something
or rarity in many Of his original
haunts, and the. hunter seeking sport
with him now must journey into the
businesses Of the far Sierras and
Coast Range mountains or into the
wilderness of the British provinces of
the northwest.
IN former days, when the hunter
and the ranchman had only their
double barreled guns, the grizzly had
little fear Of them. But when the re-
peating guns and the rest OF the de-
stroyers began to confront him he
gradually but reluctantly fell away
from the pleasant borderland and
sought safety in the deepest isolation.
When there were buffaloes on the
plains the grizzly bears were keen
and persistent hunters Of them. A
herd Of buffaloes on its journey sell
dom escaped attack from grizzlies all
along the line. When grizzly and a
buffalo came to battle there was sure
to be savage test, although 1t never
lasted long, the buffalo being the van
pushed.
Confronted by bear a buffalo bull
would invariably charge furiously
upon it's big and ugly foe This was
as the bear expected. He waited,
erect on his launches, the onset Of
the buffalo. AS the latter rushed for
ward with lowered head and was al
most upon the bear the bear would
throw itself to one side with astonlsh-
ing quickness and at the same time
deliver blow with one Of his power
full paws that seldom failed to break
his antagonists neck 1t sometimes
happened. though, that a bull was
young and agile enough to await this
blow long enough to give inAturn a
deadly thrust of his horn into the
bears side, making combat mutual
slaughter.

One Cure for Sarcasm.

Runsen always was sarcastic.
One evening last week when he got
aome his wife had new hat to show
him. 1t was some hat. Anybody
could have seen that it was the final
phrase in female headgear.
But Bunsen started to make re-
marks. He said it looked as if 1t had
been trimmed by a cross-eyed mi1liner
on an empty stomach. And he made
o lot of other disparaging remarks.
Mrs. Bunsen was almost in tears.
Bunsen had to go into the other room
to have a quiet laugh at her expense.
The next day he had forgotten all
about the hat.
The day after that he was reminded
Of it. Mrs. Bunsen handed him bill
for retrimming that hat-$1S.34 it
came to.
Bunsen paid it without a murmur
and said the revised edition of the hat
was just exactly right. He is not
criticizing hats any more.

WOODEN LEG AS A BEEHIVE

The only living human beehive. who
carries a swarm of trained bees with
him everywhere he goes, was on ex-
hibition at the county jail at Cleve-
land, O., the other day. Mark O. Den
uison is the man who owns the bees.
The hive is in his wooden leg. Two
deputy sheriffs found him sleeping in
park. When they attempted to ar
rest him he turned the whole swarm
of bees upon them, although they are
tame and harmless when their owner
tells them to be. They are trained to
use their stingers only when Dennison
considers his peace is threatened. The
deputies, after considerable coaxing.
got Mark to call off the bees, and
one by one they returned to the hive
through small holes which act as en-
frances to the interior of the false leg.
