Character Told In GREETING,

Joseph Simms, M. d., In "Physiog-
nomy Illustrated" says: "The man
who gives you a warm, cordial, hearty
grasp, looks you straight In the face,
with a pleasant, open smile, and shakes
your hand up and down, Withdrawing
his after a second earnest gentle pres
sure, is almost without an exception
an honest, earnest and true friend. The
man who gives you the wagging, hor1-

slip your hand as If it were greasy or
oily, will almost certainly be found to
be a selfish, cunning and deceitful
man, ready to sell you the moment h0

COFFEE CONGESTION

A happy old lady in Wisconsin

A happy old lady in Wisconsin
Says:
During the time I was a coffee
drinker l was subject to sick head
aches, sometimes lasting 2 or 3 days,
totally uniting me for anything.
To this affection was added. some
years ago, a trouble with my heart
that was very painful, accompanied
by a smothering sensation and faint
ness.
Dyspepsia, also. came to make life
harder to bear. l took all sorts Of pat
medicines but none of them helped
me for any length of time.
The doctors frequently told mo
that coffee was not good for me; but
without coffee I felt as If l had no
breakfast. l finally decided about 3
years ago to abandon the use Of cof-
fee entirely, and as l had read q great
deal about Postum l concluded to try
that for a breakfast beverage.
Il liked the taste Of it and was par
ucularly pleased to notice that it did
not come up as coffee used to. The
bad spells with my heart grew less
and less frequent, and finally ceased
altogether, and l have not had an at
tack of sick headache for more than q
year. My digestion is good, too. and
l am thankful that I am once more =
healthy woman. / know my wonder
full restoration to health came from
quitting coffee and using Postum"
Name given by tho Postum Co., Battle

There's a reason" and 1t is this.
Coffee has a direct action on the liver
with some people, and causes partial
congestion Of that organ preventing
the natural outlet of the secretions.
Then may follow ~biliousness, sallow
skin, headaches, constipation and final
ly a change of the blood ~cOrpuscleS
and nervous prostration.

MOSES KAUFMAN DEAD
Well Known Sioux Falls Man Dies
Suddenly Of Heart Failure

Moses Kaufman, n Of the most
prominent citizens of Sioux Falls and
a w~ell-known figure throughout the
northwest, dropped dead on the street
yesterday morning. Heart failure was
the cause.
The sudden death of Mr.. Kaufman
came as a decided shock. Up to the
moment of his death, he had been in
apparent good health and his demise
came without the least bit Of arm
ing.
Mr.. Kaufman arose before seven
yesterday morning. While out in his
yard experimenting some work on
the lawn he noticed a preponderance
of dry grass and he informed his man.
that he would go to town and get
some seed. 1t was about $50 when
he reached the corner of Seventh
street and Spring avenue upon return
ing from town and he stopped to speak
with Frank Willard. Mr.. Millard
hailed him with a good morning"
but when Mr.. Kaufman endeavored
to respond, words failed him. With
out uttering a sound, he realed over
backwards, gasped three or four times
and expired.
Two living nearby, who saw
Mr.. Kaufman fall, rushed to the as
sistance of Mr.. Millard, but before n
pillow could be placed under his head,
Mr.. Kaufman was dead. Physicians
were hurriedly summoned, but moth
ing could be done. They pronounced
heart failure as the cause of death,
which they said had been instantan-
eous. The remains were taken to the
Miller undertaking rooms.
Mrs. Kaufman was prostrated with
grief upon learning of the death OF
her husband and her condition has
been serious since that time. A dis
match was sent to Yale college, where
a son. Charles, is a student, and he Is
expected to arrive in the city Thurs
day morning.
It is understood that M. Kaufman
carried heavy insurance in several
different companies. The funeral an
nouncement will be made later.

New York.-Frank Work Is dead.
He was almost tho last to die of that
little company Of American million
aires who started life - penniless
boys. He ran away from home when
be was 8 years old with $3.50 In his
pocket and he died at 90 worth many
millions and with the original IS gold
piece still In his possession.
Perhaps none among these Amer
lean millionaires OF the old school
had such a picturesque personality a.
Work. His fast horses were the talk
Of former years. His rudy face, sur
mounted by It's snow white hair, was
known everywhere in New York.
He was born in ~Chillicothe, O., and
showed his Independent spirit by
leaving home when his mother
whipped him because he had been
such a bad boy in school that the
teacher had whipped him. Two whip
pings in one day were too much. He
never saw his mother again. He
worked his way down the Ohio and
Mississippi rivers to New Orleans,
where he began as an errand boy,
He grew up in that city, saving his
original s. gold piece and gaining an
education and a livelihood at the
same time. But he early saw that
the southern metropolis did not give
him the chance he wanted, SO he
moved to New York.
Here he entered Wall street and
when Jim Fisk and Jay. Gould and
Daniel Drew were making their for
tunes he was also busy making
money. He became the head Of the
brokerage house OF Work, Sturgis &
Strong, and while he did not become
the master Of one Of the worlds
greatest fortunes, he was still many
times a millionaire.
In the days Of his Wall street activ
ity he was regarded as a bold plungel
and a good loser. No slump or panic
could deter him from the course his
judgment pointed out as best and this

Varying Degrees Of Heat.

First attention should be given to
the oven, making sure that the fire is
not too hot. and will remain even I'M
til the baking is done. Unless you
have control Of your fire do not at
tempt to bake cake.
Loaf cake requires less heat than
thin cakes. II the oven is too hot ut
first or is suddenly cooled while the
cake Is baking the cake will be heavy.
Loaf cake should bake as long again
as thin cake. Divide the time OF bak-
ing into quarters. The first quarter
should show a rising, with the edges
higher than the center; the second q
continued even rising. with a slight
brown tint; the third a deeper brown.
and the last a shrinking and settling.
II your cake rises and cracks in the
center you are using too much -four;
when 1t browns before rising. the oven
is too hot.
How to Put Butter Cake Mixture

hand or a large spoon. add sugar and
cream again until very light. When
the proportion Of butter is small It
may be put In with the eggs and

milk again. and so on until the milk
and -four are all used, and beat Wig
orously until your mixture is smooth.
Add lastly the beaten whites. Fruit
should be added last. and fruit cake
mixtures should be little sitter with

Sponge Cake Mlxtures-Beat the
yolks until they are light yellow and
creamy and slowly beat In the sugar.
Add flavoring and liquid and beat
again. Beat the whites until stiff and
fold 1t without beating. Add -four
lastly with as little stirring as pos
sible, as 1t makes the cake tough. AL
ways follow these directions and cake
failures will never be known.
