A Transaction In Stamps.

The stamp vending machines in stalled in many stores and shops about the city are not favored by woman who hurried into a drug store in Mas sachusetts avenue several days ago where there is a branch postoffice.
 How do you sell your two-cent stamps?' she inquired indignantly
 Two cents apiece" replied Bassett.
 Well, that's all right" she replied, while she fshed in her purse for a coin. This is the fifth place I have visited after stamps. At all the other places they had those slot machines where you have to spend a nickel for two two-cent stamps. I made up my mind not to be held up if I had to walk all over the city. Give me two stamps"
 The woman laid down a dime and hurried out with two two-cent stamps, leaving six cents in change lying on the show case. She did not return Indianapolis News.

ENLIST AID OF CHURCHES
Powerful Weapon Brought to Bear in the Fight Against Tuber-
 culosis

Just how serious a problem tubercu- losis is to the average church. and In just what ways pastors are called up- o1l to minister to those suffering from this disease, is the subject of an in vestigation which the National Asso- citation for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis is conducting in con- nection with it's plans for Tuberculo- sis day on April 30 Statistics are being gathered from thousands of ministers regarding this subject, and among other figures the number of deaths last year from tuberculosis in the church congregation will be given. It is planned to place these statistics, together with other educational ma terial, in the hands of every minister in the country for his use in connec- tion with Tuberculosis day. Millions of circulars and pamphlets on the pre- vention of tuberculosis will also be issued, both from the national office and from the headquarters of the 450 aEti-tuberculosis associations who will cooperate in the movement.

EASY CHANGE When Coffee Is Doing Harm.

A lady writes from the land of cot ton of the results of a four years use of the food beverage-hot Postum.
 Ever since I can remember we had used coffee three times a day. It hsd a more or less injurious effect upon us all, and I myself suffered almost death from indigestion and nervous ness caused by it.
 T know 1t was that, because when l would leave 1t off for few days I would feel better. But it was hard to give it up, even though realized how harmful it was to me.
 At last I found a perfectly easy way to make the change. Four years ago I abandoned the coffee habit and began to drink Postum, and I also in fluenced the rest of the family to do the same. Even the children are al lowed to drink 1t freely as they do water. And 1t has done us all great good.
 T no longer suffer from indigestion, and my nerves are in admirable, tone since I began to use Postum. We never use the old coffee any more.
 We appreciatae Postum as a de- lightful and healthful beverage, which not only invigorates but supplies the best of nourishment as we'll" Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich.

Queer Laws in Switzerland.

There are In force in Switzerland certain laws which, in the hands of the interruptions, may work great havoc with personal rights and liber- ties. This is point concerning which there can be no dispute. For instance, in most cantons men and women may be punished not only for what they have actually done in the past, but also for what may possibly result in the future from what they have done. Suppose a man is spending week by week all that he earns. Then the local authorities, acting In conjunction with the police, may send him to penal workhouse, on the pretext that his conduct is such that he may later be- come destitute, and, therefore, bur den on the community.

portuauese Legion of Honor

One of the first acts of the new Por- tuguese government on coming into power was to suppress the Order of Christ of Portugal, the red ribbon of which was so much esteemed. Then difficulty arose as to how they were to reward their revolutionary friends.

The reason for the suppress sion of Portugal's famous honor is stated by Paris contemporary to have been due to desire to placate the anti-clericals.

WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN.

The following eloquent tribute to
the greatest living American is from
the pen of Tennessee's new progress
siVe senator, Luke Lea, and may be
accepted as an expression Of progress
sive democratic sentiment throughout
the country:
when he first came into national
prominence We saw him capture the
nation with the power of his genius.
We saw him sway the multitude with
his words of wisdom, and amaze and
terrorize the enemies of free institu-
lions with the logic of his speech. We
saw him rise from the disaster of de-
feat again and again, and each time
he has had the confidence of the peo-
pie. We saw him as q twice defeated
candidate for president on a foreign
tour honored by the nations of the
world. We saw this defeated man re-
turn to his native land honored by all
the nations of the earth and greeted
by~his own people as no other private
citizen has ever been greeted
And We ask why this man should
touch the human heart of every ma
ton and appeal to the human con-
science in every land. The answer is,
Bryan himself. Constant in his devo-
ton to principle, firm in conviction,
consistent in his course, brave and
steadfast, he stands before the world
the incarnation of unselfish patriot
sim.
AS the mark of hostile critics he
has been misrepresented, maligned
and slandered, but over it all he has
towering as an intellectual
and moral giant, the champion of the
purest principles and the noblest SEN
timents that have ever possessed a
great and powerful people.
What was once in scorn and con-
tempt termed Organism is now being
written into the laws of the states, the
and into the statutes of
the nation.
Those who once derided this man
for his fallacies are now singing his
praises for his virtues. Those who
once abused him for his iniquity are
now lauding him for the sanity and
strength of his convictions.
mo wonder this man will remain
in politics, for the browning glory of
his life will be when his creed of uni
versal justice shall have been written
deeply into the statutes of his coun-
try"

PRACTICAL METHOD OF TEACH.
ING.

Fifteen students of the architectural
engineering department of A. & NJ.
college, under the direction of Prof
Giesecke, spent yesterday in Houston
and are today in Galveston, inspecting
new buildings in process of construc-
ton. The object of the trip is to let
the students see actual building work
in course of construction, which gives
them a chance to learn some things
that neither books nor instructors can
teach. Among the boys of the party
are Quinlan Adams and Dick Griffin,
of Bryan.
Another party consisting of fourteen
students, under the guidance OF Prof.
Bolton, of the electrical engineering
department, is touring the cities of
North Texas, inspecting the big power
plants Among these is J. S. Cavitt
of Bryan.
These tours are made by the stu
dents at their own expense, and tits
unfortunate that some of their class
mates were not financially able to af-
ford the outlay. The state ought to
provide expense money for such eX-
cursions. Not to do so gives the we'll
TODD an unfair advantage.

Republic il name there is no such

errors of the several states hold their
jobs through the grace of the presi-

even down to the petty ones, are a
rapacious set, and investments are not

COMMERCIAL CLUB HEADQUAR-
TIERS.

The proposition to have the head
quarters of the Commercial Club any
where but in the business section is
preposterous for many reasons. The
club is strictly a bushes sorganiza-
ton; ii has no social side, and to
locate it away out in the suburbs
would be the height of folly. On the
contrary, its home should be as near
the center of business as practicable.
For simply office purposes no better
place can be found than its present
quarters in the city hall. Sometimes
it is necessary for the directors to
meet on short notice, and they can
get together there as quickly as any
where. But suppose the place of meet
ing were half mile out, how many
could leave their business long enough
to attend? Sometimes it is difficult
to get a quorum now, and if more
time were required it would be impos-
sible at almost all times.
The only reason for being dissatis-
fled with the present meeting place is
the lack of room for some adjuncts
that would be very useful in the work
of the club. For instance, it would be
highly beneficial to make the club
rooms a general business exchange,
where everybody, town people and
country people, could meet to talk
about anything and everything of a
business nature. The farmers should
be invited to use it freely. Men from
different parts of the county could
meet by appointment and arrange
deals of any kind.
In order to fit it for this purpose it
should be furnished not only with
chairs and tables, but with writing
desks and stationery. An ample sup
ply of the club stationery should be
kept on hand for the free use of ev-
erybody. Some of the merchants would
want to have special desks for their
customers, and there should be room
for these.
In connection with this business ex.
change there should be a permanent
exhibit of the products of Brazos
county and samples of the soils. This
should be supplemented with illus
trated descriptions of everything. so
that homeseekers could find just what
they want without running all over
the county to look for il. To this
should be added as complete informa
ton as possible about business oppor-
tunities of every kind.
For the information of the farmers,
the state and national agricultural bull
letins should be kept on file and d.
rectory of reliable dealers in all kinds
of seeds, livestock, etc, and every
thing should be indexed so that the
desired information could be easily
found.
OF course, it would take "a live
wire" to supervise such an institution,

The only way to induce people to
do better is to show them that it is
to their interest. Seeding rarely, if
ever, does any good The campaign of
education in sanitation must be car
ried on till everybody who occupies a

ground is convinced that the health
and even the lives of himself and his
loved ones depend on keeping the
town clean and free from flies, mos
quitoes and other disease-bearing in
sects and vermin. The Civic League
should be more aggressive in this cam
paign of education.
