GOT 1T.
Got Something Else, Too.

81 liked my coffee strong and 7
drank it strong" says Pennsylvania
woman, telling good story, "and al
though I had headaches nearly every
day I just would not believe there
was any connection between the two.
I had weak and heavy spells and pal
pitation Of the heart, too, and all
though husband told me he thought il
was the coffee that made me so poor
ly, and did not drink it himself for he
said 1t did not agree with him, yet I
loved my coffee and thought I Just
couldn't do without it.
zone day a friend called at my
home-that was a year ago. I spoke
about how well she was looking and
she said:
Eyes, and I feel well, too It's be-
cause I am drinking Postum in place
Of ordinary coffee
II said, What is Postum?
Then she told me how it was q
food-drink and how much better she
felt since using it in place of coffee or
tea, SO / sent to the store and bought
a package and when it was made &C
cording to directions it was so good
have never bought pound Of coffee
since. l began to improve immediate
ly.
II cannot begin to tell you how
much better feel since using Postum
and leaving coffee alone. My health
Is better than 1t has been for years
and I cannot say enough In praise OF
this delicious food drink"
Take away the destroyer and put
a rebuilder to work and Nature will
do the rest. That's what you do when
Postum takes coffee's place in your
diet. There's Reason"

There are certain laws that apply to
mental processes with which everyone
is familiar One of them relates to
the danger of idleness and it's use by
an individual whose name is not men
toned in polite society. There is
no class of people so apt to do fool
lsh and imprudent things as the girls
who have nothing to occupy their
minds, says the Newark News. The
girl that has to work for a living is
really safer than the one who is I'M
der no such ccmpulsion. Where a
girl has no serious interests her flu
ture is largely dependent upon the
discretion and discernment of her par
ents or guardians The Philadelphia
girl that ran away with a hotel wait
er, according to reports, has been for
given. From what is known to the
public concerning the case, she should
have been. But has she forgiven her
guardians? She Is not as much to
blame as those who neglected to take
care Of her If her life had been
normal she would not have been
seized by the notions that have drawp
cloud over her.

Chicago is leading the country these
days in reforming the curriculum Of
the public schools 1t has just kick
ed out algebra and lot of the arith-
metic, compound interest, for instance.
The effort is being made to teach the
children only those things which are
likely to be useful to them and which
they are pretty certain to remember.
For this reason history is being taught
In new fashion, says the Philadelphia
Inquirer. A child is no longer marked
upon it's knowledge of the number of
men killed In any particular battle.
but upon the salient features in our
history which are of Importance now.
In most of the school histories
large amount Of space is given to colo
NAL times, customs of the Indians, etc.
Ten pages at most will give the sa-
lient facts in our history up to the
time of the revolution Those who
are interested can find plenty Of de-
Tails for their delectation, but what
every child should know is something
about the origin and development of
this government and his present or
prospective duties as a citizen.

A Young PHILOSOPHER.

Time is a relative quantity. Some
minutes seem like hours, and some
hours seem like minutes. How to con-
troll this flight is beyond most persons,
but the little boy mentioned below
seems to have progressed pretty well
for a youngster.
The teacher was surprised to sec
that he remained perfectly idle all
through recess, and accordingly asked
him why he did not play.
"Cause," he said, slowly, at makes
recess too quick if l play, and l want
it to la-A-ast!" -Youth's Companion

The secretary Of the state board of
health of Kentucky has compiled the
cost to the people of the state brought
about last year by diseases that were
preventable. says the Boston Trans
script. Reports showed that there
were 1917 cases of sickness which
proper care and regulation would have
prevented. OF these cases 1887 re-
suited fatally. The secretary esti-
mates that each case cost s94 for the
care of the sick and loss of time,
and the average value of the life sac
riflced to a preventable disease is set
at s1,700.

pany Law Defective

Madison.-Not a dollar of loss to
any deposltor in any state bank, mu-
tual saving bank or trust company
under the supervision of the WiscOn-
sin banking department is the crafty
ing statement of Commissioner of
Banking NJ. G. Bergh in his report
made to Gov. Davidson.
The commissioners report shows
that during the year, ending Nov. 10,
1910, there were organized thirty
eight new state banks, with total
capital of s663,500, while one bank,
with $4,000 capital, liquidated,
making a total net gain of thirty
seven banks, bringing a net increase
of capitalization Of $653,500, which,
with the increased capitalize zion of
seventeen old banks, brings the total
increase Of capitalization for the year
to $1,138,5O
Commissioner Bergh reports the
institutions under the control of the
department, with few exceptions,
have had very prosperous year; that
the trust company law of 1909 is in
certain respects defective, and should
be modified; and that the department
itself is in need of additional assist
ance if the highest results are to be
obtained. 1t appears from the tabu-
lations submitted with the report that
the deposits in the state and mutual
savings banks increased $685.
697S3 during the year, and that
there was an aggregate gain of
$21,978, O64.66 in total resources.

SPLIT EXPECTED
ON TARIFF BOARD
Minority Senators Likely to Line Up
Against Tariff Commission
Bill.

Washington, d. c., Feb. Demo
|cratic members of congress appear to
be getting ready to lock horns on the
permanent tariff board measure, sit
|uation which republican leaders are
said to be doing little to discourage.
The fact that the democrats of both
branches may be found in opposite
camps was disclosed when senate re-
publican leaders began canvass to
determine whether they can muster
enough votes to pass the house bill.
It was said more than half the dem
Iocratic senators have announced they
will oppose the measure. 1t also was
said democratic conference will be
held soon and an effort made to line
lup the senate minority against the bill.
When the bill passel the house few
nights ago. the result was accom-
lplished largely by democratic support
under Representative Champ Clark
The senate opposition probably will be
led by Senator Bailey.
II Senator Bailey and Representa-
tive Clark find themselves holding con
trary views, as seems probable, the
situation will be similar to their posi-
ton with regard to methods OF revising
THE tariff.
1t was recalled yesterday that when
the two democratic leaders spoke at
the recent harmony conference at Bal
timore, Mr. Clark favored @piece meal
revision of the tarifi, while Senator
Bailey supported the idea of blanket"
