the ban of disobedience. She had been
told to put away her playthings, as ii
was near bedtime. She did not obey
the command. and, when forced to Go

temper. Her father, who was up

summoned the child to his presence.
Irma started to the stairs, but sud-
denly made turn, dashed along the
hall, and out of the house. OF course
she was soon captured, but her excite

bed at once. Mothers efforts soothed

LUCKY MISTAKE.
Grocer Sent Pkg. Of Postum and
Opened the Eyes of the Family.

A lady writes from Brookline, Mass:
"a package of Postum was sent me
one day by mistake.
Il notified the grocer, but finding
that there was no coffee for breakfast
next morning l prepared some of the
Postum, following the directions very
carefully.
1T was an immediate success in my
family. and from that day we have
used 1t constantly, parents and chill
dren. too-for my three rosy young
sters are allowed to drink 1t freely at
breakfast and luncheon. They think 1t
delicious, and / would have a mutiny
on my hands should ! omit the be-
loved beverage.
MY husband used to have a very
delicate stomach while we were using
coffee, but to our surprise his stom-
ach has grown strong and entirely well
since we quit coffee and have been on
Postum.
Noting the good effects in my fam
lily / wrote to my sister, who was a
coffee topper. and after much persua-
sion got her to try Postum.
"She was prejudiced against 1t at
first, but when she presently found
that all the ailments that coffee gave
her left and she got well quickly she
became and remains thorough and
enthusiastic Postum convert.
Her nerves, which had become
shattered by the use of coffee have
grown healthy again, and today she is
a new woman, thanks to Postum"

BABY,S HAIR ALL CAME OUT

when my first baby was six months
old he broke out on his head with little
bumps. They would dry up and leave
scale. Then it would break out
again and it spread all over his head.
All the hair came out and his head
was scaly all over. Then his face
broke out all over in red bumps and
1t kept spreading until it was ON his
hands and arms. bought several
boxes of ointment, gave him blood
medicine, and had two doctors to treat
him, but he got worse all the time.
He had 1t about six months when a
friend told me about Cuticura. l sent
and got bottle of Cuticura Resolvent,
cake of Cuticura Soap and box of
Cuticura Ointment In three days
after using them he began to i'm
prove. He began to take long maps
and to stop scratching his head. After
taking two bottles CT Resolvent, two
boxes Of Ointment and three cakes of
Soap he was sound and well, and never
had any breaking out Of any kind. His
hair came out in little curls all over
his head. l don't think anything else
would have cured him except Cuti-
cura.
Il have bought Cuticura Ointment
and Cuticura Soap several times since
to use for cuts and sores and have
never known them to fail to cure what
/ put them on. Cuticura Soap is the
best that have ever used for toilet

United States from Kentucky.
In the days of his youth the Ken.
tuckian was asked by q friend to sec

at sunrise the parties met at the ap-
pointed place.
Now it was this Kentuckian's duty
to say the last words touching the
terms of the duel. But, although he
faithfully performed this duty, the
duel never took place.
