Resting Must Be Business

Will M. Ross, a well-known writer of Stevens Point, Wis, who is himself cured consumptive, holds that un, less resting becomes business to the tuberculosis patient, he might as well give up his fight for health. The pc, riod of infection with tuberculosis, ; he says, 'is not a vacation. It Is a twenty-four-h hour a-day job. True it is period of idleness, but one of intel ligent, directed idleness. The days work should consist of rest; rest should be the only business on hand. The light exercise, or hour of read ing. should be considered as the re- ward of good days work, like the evening of slippered ease to the tired business men at the end of the day. This recreation, however, should be considered only as an incidental re- suit of the patients work, not the main object"

LUCKY MISTAKE. Grocer Sent Pkg. of Postum and Opened the Eyes of the Family.

A lady writes from Brookline, Mass: one day by mistake.
 T notified the grocer, but finding that there was no coffee for breakfast next morning I prepared some of the Postum, following the directions very carefully.
 ''It was an immediate success in my family, and from that day we have used it constantly, parents and chil- dren, too-for my three rosy young sters are allowed to drink it freely at breakfast and luncheon. They think it delicious, and I would have a mutiny on my hands should I omit the be loved beverage.
 My husband used to have a very delicate stomach while we were using coffee, but to our surprise his stom. ach has grown strong and entirely well since we quit coffee and have been on postum.
 Noting the good effects in my fam. fly I wrote to my sister, who was a coffee toper, and after much persua sion got her to try Postum.
 "She was prejudiced against it al first, but when she presently found that all the ailments that coffee gave her left and she got we'll quickly she became and remains thorough and enthusiastic Postum convert.
 Her nerves, which had become shattered by the use of cOffee have grown healthy again, and today she is a new woman, thanks to Postum Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich, and the "cause why" vii be found in the great little book, "Tht Road to Wellville," which comes 1T pkgs.

Nothing Doing but Talk

The following is told of a federal official, formerly a senator of the United States from Kentucky.
 In the days of his youth the Ken. tuckian was asked by friend to sec. ond him in duel. He consented, and at sunrise the parties met at the ap- pointed place.
 Now 1t was this Kentuckian's duty to say the last words touching the terms of the duel But, although he faithfully performed this duty, the duel never took place.
 A murmur of Why not?" invariably goes round whenever this story is told. whereupon the answer is as fol- lows:
 "For a very simple reason. When Joe finished speaking it was too dark for duel. el."-Chicago Journal.

Not Sufficiently Eaaer,

A little miss of five years was under the ban of disobedience She had been told to put away her playthings, as it was near bedtime She did not obey the command. and, when forced to do so, gave way to a petulant display of temper Her father, who was up- stairs, heard the commotion, and, be- ing made acquainted with the cause, summoned the child to his presence Irma started to the stairs, but sud denly made turn, dashed along the hall, and out of the house. Of course she was soon captured, but her excite ment was so great that she was put to bed at once. Mothers efforts soothed the child and then she was asked: Why did you run away when your father called you?' The reply came promptly enough: You don't sup pose, mamma, that I wanted whip ping bad enough to go upstairs after it 2"

ONE ON THE OLD GENTLEMAN
Absolute Fact Destroyed Force of Well-Meant Argument for
 Temperance.

On pleasant Sunday afternoon an old German and his youngest son were seated in the village inn. The father had partaken literally of the home brewed beer, and was warning his son against the evils of intemperance Never drink too much, my son. A gentleman stops when he has enough. To be drunk is a disgrace"
 Yes, father, but how can I tell when I have enough or am drunk?"
 The old man pointed with his finger. Do you see those two men sitting in the corner? If you should see four men there, you would be drunk
 The boy looked long and earnestly. "Yes, father, but-but-there is only one man in that corner "-Lippin- cott's

BABY'S HAIR ALL CAME OUT

When my first baby was six months old he broke out on his head with little bumps. They would dry up and leave scale. Then it would break out again and it spread all over his head. All the hair came out and his head was scaly all over. Then his face broke out all over in red bumps and it kept spreading until it was on his hands and arms. I bought several boxes of ointment, gave him blood medicine, and had two doctors to treat him, but he got worse all the time. He had it about six months when 8 friend told me about Cuticura. I sent cake of Cuticura Soap and a box of Cuticura Ointment. In three days after using them he began to i'm prove. He began to take long maps and to stop scratching his head After taking two bottles of Resolvent, two boxes of Ointment and three cakes of Soap he was sound and well, and never had any breaking out of any kind. His hair came out in little curls all over his head. don't think anything else would have cured him except Cuti- cura.
 T have bought Cuticura Ointment and Cuticura Soap several times since to use for cuts and sores and have never known them to fail to cure what l put them on. Cuticura Soap is the best that l have ever used for toilet purposes" (Signed) Mrs. F. E. liar mon, R. F. D, 2, Atoka, Tenn, Sept. 10, 1910. Although Cuticura Soap and Ointment are sold everywhere, a sam pie of each, with 32-page book, will be mailed free on application to "Cuti- cura," Dept. 16 L, coston.

BlACKMAILING MUST BE ART
Amateur Makes Mistake When He Seeks to Make Money in Such
 an Avocation.

Police Commissioner Waldo of New York was talking about blackmailers.
 "They are, as a rule, stupid he said. Their threatening letters are as ludicrous in their stupidity as a letter a friend of mine received the other day"
 And Commissioner Waldo, with a laugh, produced the letter. Written in a large, boyish hand, it said:
 Deer sir-Your winder was brok- en by bad boi wat throo it throo four thee pirpus. The ball belonged two mee, but an eneme of mine sneaked it and did the deed to put the blame on mee. I am sorry he did it, and that it have give you grate pain, and 1 have persecuted the per peetrater wot done it. But you would not have thee innocent suffer fer the gilty, so, if you drop thee ball over the garden wall. If you don't be- ware,-( (Signed) Innocent"

 the Case.

Speaking of family poker parties, this really happened:
 A young married couple attended such a session at the home of neigh bor the other night And when this young couple got home, the female end of the sketch said:
 Jim, 1 hate to say anything about the Halls-they seem to be nice peo- pie. But I'm afraid they cheat at cards"
 "Nonsensei"
 q knew you'd say that, and it's dear of you to be so unsuspecting. But well, what was the price of the chips. tonight? Five cents each? That's what I thought Jim, I examined those chips carefully, and they're the very same thing that I could have bought at Jones' store for dollar a hundred in all three colors, tool"

A Bitter Critic.

Ex-Governor Pennypacker, at din ner in Philadelphia, said of the di vorce evil:
 There would not be so many di yorces if there were not so many families of the Dash type.
 MT. Dash said sternly one day to his little son:
 "'Your mother and I agree that you require a sound whipping
 The little boys lip curled, and he retorted Bitterly:
