About seven years ago I ceased

trial.

forms Of indigestion and my stomach
had become SO disordered as to repel
almost every sort OF substantial food.
My general health was bad. At close
intervals 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. I have continued the daily
use Of your excellent Food Drink and
assure you most cordially that I am
Indebted to you for the relief 1t has
brought me.

Exhortinu the 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. land
strangely enough the ducks were more
inclined to float sideways than in the
approved manner. After several at
tempts 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!"

A Little Philosophy.
From Cottrell's Magazine.

From Cottrells Magazine.
Success is in being what we seem
to be.
. In court we. always get precedent and
seldom justice.
People of excessive culture soon lose
their point Of contact.
Did you ever notice that courtesy
and a good hotel usually go hand In
hand?
There need be no doubt about any
thingthing.--it is simply question Of
persistency.
It isn't desirable that a man work
like a horse, but rather that a man
work like man.
The failure of genius is largely due
to over confidence. in ability with a
lack of stability.
A sore head can make more trouble
than a wise head, because he usually
has SO per cent more energy.
The reason we like children is that
they are natural, and the reason they
are natural Is that they are sure Of

Farewell Party for Miss Hunt.

Miss Hazel Clark entertained a
number of young ladies at her home
last evening at a farewell party for
Miss Beulah Hunt, who will leave
next Friday to attend Northwestern
University at Evanston, III. Games
were played and Miss Eleanor Widell
won the prize which was given. The
dining room was most attractively
and suitably decorated. The walls
were hung with a number of pen
nants and the colors used were the
Northwestern colors, purple and
white. The flowers used were purple
sweet peas, and at each place was a
candle with purple shade and a
small Northwestern pennant in pur-
pie and white. The party was very
pleasant and especially appropriate
for Miss Hunt at just this time be-
fore her departure.
