HEART RIGHT.
When He Quit Coffee.

Life Insurance Companies will not
insure a man suffering from heart
trouble.
The reason is obvious.
This is a serious matter to TIE hus-
band or father who is solicitous FOR
the future of his dear ones Often
the heart trouble is caused by an un-
expected thing and can be corrected II
taken in time and properly treated. A
man in Colorado writes.
II was a great coffee drinker for
many years, and was not aware Of the
injurious effects Of the habit till ]
Decame a practical invalid, suffering
from heart trouble, indigestion and
nervousness to al extent that made
me wretchedly miserable myself and
q nuisance to those who witnessed my
sufferings.
II continued to drink coffee, how
ever, not suspecting that 1t was the
cause OF my ill-health, till on applying
for life insurance / was rejected on &C.
count OF the trouble with my heart.
Then became alarmed. / found that
leaving of coffee helped me quickly, so

attracted by the advertisements of

''The change in my condition was re-
markable. All my ailments vanished.
My digestion was completely restored,
my nervousness disappeared, and,
most important OF all, my heart stead

WHERE THEY DRAW THE LINE
Naturally Men Disapprove of Extrava'
gance When Their Own Purse
Is Concerned.

Mrs. William B. Leeds, who took
Mrs. George Keppeps house in Lon
don for the coronation season, came
from New York with 40 huge trunks,
all the same size, all mounted with
shining brass, ell claret-colored, and
all as lustrous as the body of motor
car.
Mrs. Leeds, as her 40 trunks imply,
dresses very beautifully. She spends
large amount on her wardrobe, and
discussing the fact that woman's
dress is so much more expensive and
so much less durable than mans, she
once said:
1--WE women dress foolishly, and we
will continue to do SO till men disap-
prove; but''-she smiled on the men
at the table-"no man il the world
ever disapproved of dress extrava-
gance in woman unless she hap
pened to be his ife."-Detroit Free
Press.

Worrying Happiness.

The bishop of Manchester, speaking
at meeting at Church house, West
minister, said the secret of happiness
was to have a sufficient multitude of
worries.
The man who had only one worry,
blind that would not be pulled up
straight by the servant, or a coal
scuttle the bottom of which was al
ways coming out, found his way to
the lunatic asylum, but the man who
had no time to dwell upon his wor-
ries because he had to go from one to
another, and back again and round
and round like squirrel in a cage,
could be perfectly happy man.

Way to Stop Hiccoughs

Simple cases of hiccough are often
relieved by such measures as sucking
ice or taking salt and vinegar. says
the New York Medical Journal. Pull
ing the tongue forward and holding tt
for some time is an effective pro-
cedure.
Sometimes obstinate hiccough Is re-
lieved when the patient is strong by
having him hang with the arms ex-
tended and grasping some beam or

Traditions Of the siohokam, Who Wsrs
the First Americans.
In the beginning the HOhOkam dwelt
In the land. They were the first Amer
icans-before the pilgrim fathers. be-
fore the Spaniards, before the Indians.
They were the unknown people who
lived In the United States so long ago
that their name is utterly lost. In the
southwest old tribes of Indians like
the Zunis and Navajos know nothing
Of them save by vaguest tradition.
The Pimas and Papagos of southern
Arizona, who occupy part Of the land
that once was theirs, know that an
other race possessed the country long
ago. More they cannot tell. They
and their fathers for hundreds of
years have seen what we see-the
scanty remnants of ancient villages.
For the inhabitants of the villages
they have no name except the Hobo
kam-that is, the unknown"
The modern archaeOlOgist describes
the implements and pottery of the
Hohokam. He cannot do much more,
for their houses are laid low. Except
in a few places. such rs the ruins of
Casa Grande. near the ella river, the
very walls have vanished. Casa
Grande itself may he the work Of a
people later than the main body Of the
HOhOkam. We can never know the
whole story. Yet little by little we
may learn its chief facts. Arizona
and the adjacent regions are full Of
ruins unknown to scientists and even
to the people who live within a mile
Of them. They are so nearly obliterat-
ed that there seems at first sight little
to repay study.
Archaeology begins the task of recon
structing the past. Geography must
finish it. Modern geography enables
us to determine the mode Of life which
must prevail. especially among print
tive peoples. under given conditions of
physical environment. II we can cor
rectly picture the geographic environ
ment OF the HOhokam We may learn
much OF the history Of our earliest fel-
