A HIT
What She Gained by Trying Again.

A failure at first makes us esteem
final success.
A family in Minnesota that now en-
JOYS Postum would never have known
how good 1t is if the mother had been
discouraged by the failure of her
first attempt to prepare 1t. Her son
tells the story:
1--WE had never used Postum till last
spring when father brought home a
package one evening just to try 1t. We
had heard from our neighbors, and in
fact every one who used it, how well
they liked it.
well, the next morning Mother
brewed it about five minutes, just as
she had been in the habit of doing
with coffee without paying special at
tention to the directions printed on
the package. 1t looked weak and
didn't have a very promising color, but
nevertheless father raised his cup
with an air of exceptancy. 1t certain
ly did give him a great surprise, but
I'm afraid it wasn't very pleasant
one. for he put down his cup with
look of disgust.
Mother wasn't discouraged though,
and next morning gave it another trial,
letting It stand on the stove till boil
ing began and then letting it boil for
fifteen or twenty minutes, and this
time we were all so pleased with 1t
that we have used it ever since.
Father was a confirmed dyspeptic
and a cup of coffee was to him like poi
son. So he never drinks 1t any more,
but drinks Postum regularly. He isn't
troubled with dyspepsia now and is
actually growing fst, and I'm sure
Postum is the cause of 1t. All the chill
dren are allowed to drink it and they
are perfect pictures of health" Name

KANSAS TOPICS
MAKES LAW BREAKERS QUAIL
HunneWeII Mayoress Causes Arrest
And Filming Of Card Players.

Hunneewll, Kan.-"Our mayoress,
to cry on her welcome home from her
conference with Governor Stubs and
C. w. Trickett, but she didn't. She
went right over to Wellington and
swore out state warrants. Now the
mayoress is sure of her ground and is
defiant She doesn't have to depend
upon a marshal and city laws. The
state Is behind her and she says abe
will have the militia on wicked Hun
newell if they don't watch out.
It was a particularly trying offenss
that brought the long threatened state
aid to the woman mayor. Playing
cards on Sunday wouldn't have been
half so bad If the players had not Sc
lected room on a street where per
sons passed going to and from church
and the postoffice. Then they left the
door wide open, because it was a warm
day, and were seen at the nefarious
business.
Mrs. Wilson said that her trip to
Wellington, the swearing to the com
plants, herself, before County Attor'
ney Herrick and the subsequent ar
rest of four young men by Sheriff Ling
enfelter Is only starter to what is
going to happen. The young men who
were arrested pleaded guilty to the
Sunday law infraction and were fined
$40 each by Justice Bonsail of South
Haven.
Mrs. Wilson is keeping her cards up
n sleeve pretty well hidden. The
trump she played astonished a greater
part of the male population of Han
newell and they are wondering what
will happen next time. The mayoress
lust smiles. Some say she disliked
to punish cher boys" but that the 9th
er children of the big family at Han
newell" needed the lesson. When II
Is suggested that state warrants will
be the means of running the little
town, the smile fades away, and she
rays: 81 am going to run this town In
spite of opposing councilmen, even II
| have to call on Governor Stubs for
the state militia. Then she adds:
And we have $40 in the city treasury
to run it with"
The $40 came from the card players.

kiddies March to ssefty.

Atchison, Kan-Familiarity with the
fire drill probably averted disastrous
nanic at the state orphans home here
when the main building, set ablaze by
lightning, was emptied of its hundred
children and employees within four
minutes and without commotion or in
jury.
The cupola was struck by lightning
and there was danger Of the destruc
ton of the whole building, but the fire
company maintained at the hame act
ed promptly and had the blaze under
control before the city department ar
rived. The damage does not exceed
$500.
The children escaped in their night
colthes, but were taken out through ii
tunnel connecting with surrounding
cottages of the home and did not SUI
fer from exposure to the heavy rain
and electrical storm raging at the time.

One Cure for Sarcasm.

Bunsen always was sarcastic.
One evening last week when he got
home his wife had new hat to show
him. It was some hat. Anybody
could have seen that it was the final
phrase in female headgear.
But Bunsen started to make re-
marks. He said it looked as if it had
been trimmed by cross-eyed milliner
on an empty stomach. And he made
a lot of other disparaging remarks.
Mrs. Bunsen was almost in tears.
Bunsen had to go into the other room
to have a quiet laugh at her expense.
The next day he had forgotten all
about the hat.
The day after that he was reminded
of it. Mrs. Bunsen handed him a bill
for retrimming that hat-$1S.34 it
came to.
Bunsen paid it without a murmur
and said the revised edition of the hat
was Just exactly right, He is not
criticizing hats any more.

waae War on Tree sorers.

Manhattan, Kan.-Fruit tree borers
are doing considerable damage in some
Kansas orchards and lately the agri'
cultural college has had calls for help.
All inquiries are being answered by
7. ]. Headles, professor of entomology.
and specific instructions for eradica-
ton given. Professor Headlee said:
They are the shot hole borer, which
bores small holes in trees making them
COX as if they had been the target OF
shot gun, the round-headed apple
tree borer, the apple twig borer, all
these species prefer diseased trees.
For that reason the first step toward
keeping trees from borers is to keep
them in the healthiest possible grow
Ing condition by proper pruning, feed
ing and cultivation.
"All infested wood should be cut out
and burned. Generally that will stoG
the work Of the shot hole borer ana
the apple twig borer. If not, the trees
should be treated with a deterrant
wash composed of one pint of crude
carbolic acid. one gallon of soft soap
and eight gallons of water. The trunks
and larger branches should be thor
oughly covered with this wash"
