HAVE A SYSTEM IN MENDlNG
VIII Save Much Time and Trouble.
and Garments viii Be In Order
When Required.

There is nothing on earth like sys-
tenn. and nowhere do you realize this
more than IN matters OF dress. The
tiny hole In your stocking that you
might have mended In two minutes
grows Into an undarnable run" the
rip under the arm In your new blouse
extends alarmlngly; nothing that must
be mended stays where 1t is put"
The remedy for all this Ia a regular
mending day or n regular mending
evening II you are business woman
As soon as n garment needs mending
n It be only a button or hook that
must be replaced. put II aside unless
u Is so necessary that you must at
tend to the trouble at once and when
mending day rolls around do the re-
quired sewing You will be surprised
60 find how much lighter your work
becomes when you can thus catch
rents and tears at their start instead
of at their disastrous finish. The 9th
or point to remember is to always
have your sewing implements where
you can get them and in perfect order
DO not wait until the very moment
for mendins to fad that you are out
OF white thread or that your needles
are rusty When thing needs re
pairing. repair it: when II needs re
placing. replace It. II might even bt
well to have preparation" day tC
antedate the mending one.

Longevity PersonIfied.

Senator Benjamin f. Tillman re-
lates an amusing anecdote about a
colored man named JEFF. who has been
with a neighboring South Carolina
family since before the war.
"One day." said Mr.. Tillman, "his
mistress was rather surprised when
old JEFF asked to have few days on
to 90, as he put 1t, up to de old state
of Bosting," to see his aunt.
Why. Jeff,' said the lady, your
aunt must be pretty old, isn't She?
"'Ye'm.' he replied, 'yes'm; NAH
aunt must be pretty ole now-she's

FATE AND THE FLETCHERS
Intervention That Made II Certain
Hour for Senator's Death Had
Not Struck.

Senator Duncan U. Fletcher OF Flor

Washington. Pulling back the cur

bed was already occupied.
"Hl, there," called the senator.

The sleeper awoke and protested
angrily.

the statesman, "and this is my berth.
You've got nothing on me-" an

my full name is Duncan U. F1etch-

Sos mine" agreed the intruder.
"Ah, | see," said the senator. po-
lltely. There must have been mis-
take in reserving the same berth for
two men of the same name. "I'll go
into the next sleeping car"
The stranger, by this time. was fully
awake, and proceeded to apologize,
and to offer to give up the berth. This
the senator would not do. but went
into the car ahead. and found a place
to sleep.
An hour later the train was wreck
ed. The car In which the stranger
occupied the lower nine fell through
a trestle. and that Fletcher was
killed. The senator's car was not
damaged at all.-Popular Magazine.

SILK STOCKINGS.

First, buy them large. maybe full
size, larger than you may wear in a
cotton or lisle stocking; next. darn
loosely the heel and toe and places
for garter catches-all before wearing
the stockings. This prevents holes
from appearing In heel and toe and
the knee from having runners"
Rinse out in cold water after each
wearing and the stocking will last two
or three times longer than when these
precautions are not taken.--L s W.

Then the article proceeds to de-
nounce Postum and works into a
fine frenzy, because we have pub
lished facts regarding the effect Of
coffee on some people.
The narrowing tale goes on.
"Where a few years ago every
body drank coffee, several cups a
day, now we find in every walk in
life people who imagine they can
not drink 1t. (The underscorlng is
ours.) Burly blacksmiths, carpen-
ters, laborers and athletes have dis

types OF diseases which follow

many people don't know It.
But It remained for the man who

to say: "You only imagine your
disorders. Keep on buying from

The Beaver herald. [volume] (Beaver, O.T. [Okla.]) 1895-1923, 1911-12-21

This is one Of the highest COM
pliments ever paid to the level-head-
ed. common sense OF Americans
who cut off about two hundred mill
lion pounds Of coffee when they
found by actual experiment (in the
majority of cases) that the subtle
drug caffeine, in coffee, worked dis
comfort and varying forms of dis
ease.
Some people haven't the charac-
ter to stop habit when they know
IT Is killing them. but 1t is easy
to shift from coffee to Postum, for,
when made according to directions,
1t comes to table cup OF beverage,
seal brown color, which turns to
rich golden brown when cream is
added. and the taste is very like
the milder grades Of Old Govt Java.
Postum is veritable food-drink
and highly nourishing, containing
all the parts of wheat carefully pre-
pared to which is added about ten
per cent of New Orleans molasses.
and that is absolutely all that
Postum is made Of.
Thousands of visitors to the pure
food factories see the ingredients
and how prepared. Every nook
and corner is open for every visit
or to carefully inspect. Crowds
come daily and seem to enjoy 1t.
