MADE BANK ACCOUNT GOOD
Why Uncle Reuben Could Not Meet Debt He Acknowledged as
 an Obligation.

Uncle Reuben, the village white washer and man of all work, was frequent borrower of small sums from his neighbor, Colonel Arkwright, and as rule he repaid these little debts at the appointed time; but on one occasion, when he had been ac- commodated with loan of two dol lars and half, which he promised to return in a few days, he allowed two or three weeks to pass without making any mention of his indebted ness, and, in fact, seemed to avoid his creditor. But one morning the colonel unexpectedly encountered him at the post office.
 Hello, Uncle Rube Didn't you borrow little money from me sev- eral weeks ago?"
 Oats right, cunnel," said the old man. T sholy did'
 You told me you'd pay it back in three or four days. Have you had bad luck?"
 No, suh," responded Uncle Reuben. "Tll tell you how it was, cunnel I lacked jes' two dollahs an a half O havin ten dollars to put in de savins' bank, an I used it fo' dat. Hits all right cunnel. l won't fo'git it. Youths Companion.

HEART RIGHT. When He Quit Coffee.

Life Insurance Companies will not insure a man suffering from heart trouble
 The reason is obvious.
 This is serious matter to the 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 if taken in time and properly treated. A man in Colorado writes:
 q was great coffee drinker for many years, and was not aware of the injurious effects of the habit till became a practical invalid, suffering from heart trouble, indigestion and nervousness to an extent that made me wretchedly miserable myself and atnuisance a to those who witnessed my sufferings
 ''I continued to drink coffee, how ever, not suspecting that it was the cause of my ill-health, till on applying for life insurance I was rejected on ac- count of the trouble with my heart. Then I became alarmed. I found that leaving Off coffee helped me quickly, so I quit it altogether and having been attracted by the advertisements of Postum I began it's use.
 ''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 jed down and became normal, and on a second examination I was accepted by the Life Insurance Co. Quitting coffee and using Postum worked the change Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich.

Harm in Too Much Exercise.

Dr. Lawrason Brown and Dr. F. H. Reise of Saranac Lake, in an article on Properly Regulated Rest and Ex- ercise in Pulmonary Tuberculosis" in the June number of the Journal of the Outdoor Life, holds that the action of the poisonous germs of this disease on the body is very similar to that of overeXercise. The poisonous irrita- tions caused by the germs gives the organs and tissues of the body dou- ble load to carry. Drs. Brown and Heise emphasize the importance of rest in the treatments of tuberculo- sis, but also insist that properly reg
 ulated exercise Is very necessary. They state their conclusions thus: "To sum up, exercise when properly regulated and systematically graded is an important factor in the treat ment of pulmonary tuberculosis. Through 1t the patient is in many cases returned to home and family with lessened chances of future re- lapse. At the same time part of his earning capacity Is restored and he Is consequently, financially less de- pendent upon others, relieving him of much worry, expense and hardship"

BABYS 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 a 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 it kept spreading until it was on his hands and arms. l 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 it about six months when friend told me about Cuticura. I sent and got bottle of Cuticura Resolvent, cake of Cuticura Soap and a box of Cuticura Ointment. In three days after using them he began to improve. He began to take long maps and to stop scratching his head. After taking two bottles of 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 Hedu' uoH tHiHh ally thing elSo would have cured him except Cuticura.
 T have bought Cuticura Ointment and Soap several times since to use for cuts and sores and have never known them to fail to cure what 1 put them on. I think Cuticura is a great remedy and would advise any one to use it. Cuticura Soap is the best that I have ever used for toilet purposes" (Signed) Mrs. F. F. Harmon, R. F.

A New Sensation.

Little Jean had visited one of the large summer amusement parks for the first time, and with the courage possessed only by those girls whose playmates are boys and girls older than themselves, she had not hesi- tated, when invited. to take a ride on one of the "thrillers" that abound in such places.
 To her mother. on her return from the park, she confided the emotions she had experienced as she swept round the curves of the figure eight with her elder brothers.

Thackeray's Kindness of Heart.

Thackeray was the gentlest satir- ist that ever lived. As editor of the Cornhill he could hardly bring him. self to reject Ms. for fear of hurting his would-be contributors. The story of his actually paying for contribu- tions that he never printed, in order to conceal the fact that he had re- jected them, may be true or false. We do not remember exactly how the evi- dence points. But even If it be a story, such stories are not told of men made of the stern stuff of the Thack- cray commonly misknown

Naturally Men Dsapprovs of Extrava- gance When Their Own Purse

Mrs William B. Leeds, who took Mrs. George KeppeTs house in Lon don for the coronation session, came from New York with 40 huge trunks, all the same size, all mounted with shining brass, all claret-colored, and all as lustFous as the body of motor car.
 Mrs. Leeds, as her 40 trunks imply, dresses very beautifully. She spends a 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;
 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 in the world ever disapproyed Of dress extraya- gance in woman unless she hap pened to be his wife "-Detroit Free Press.

MUST DISMISS INDICTMENTS
 AGAINST ALLEGED BRIBERS

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 16.-The district court of appeals of the first district issued a perempbory writ of mandate today to compel Superior Judge William F. Lawlor to dismiss indictments pending against Patrick Calhoun. Thornwall Wullally, Tirey L. Ford and William M Abbott. char ed with bribing the Ruef-Schmitz su- pervisors in connection with the United Railroads trolley franchise.
 The decision ends the graft prose cution financed by Rudolph Spreekels and prosecuted by Attorney Francis J. Heney and Detective William J. Burns immediately after the fire. The court held that the defendants had a right 10 a speedy trial and in asmuch as the case had been iHdefi. nitely postponed by Judge Lawlor owing to the absence of the main wit. ness, Former Supervisor James L. Gallagher, the court believed there vas nothing else to do but order the discharge of the indictments. The facts made by the defense were not disputed by the disrict attorney.

COLTS AND TIGERS ID
 PLAY NEXT SUNDAY
TrailerS Will Attempt 10 Play Ball With Leaders for
 Pennant

After being in the corral for a couple of weeks Callahan's Colts will have a romp at Warren Park Sunday afternoon. the team being scheduled to play the Tigers. While the Colts stand to win the game, the Tigers may turn in desperation and it is not beyond the impossible that the Colts, underestimating their opponents, may be given fall by the baby of the league.
 The Colts have made a dazzling race for the pennant and they deserve to win. But the most dazzling per formance that a bali team ever tried to pull of is being perpetrated by these young animals. They are play ing for a perfect score and so far they have not suffered a defeat. Pride goeth before a fall. however. and they may yet get a dump when they least expect it.
 The voting for the All-Star team goes merrily on and Manager Blair will soon be able to announce the lineup Of the team that will go against the Sixth cavalry team on the Sunday preceding Labor Day.
