See who it is, Somes," said Gormly
indifferently.
IT'S been ringing all morning, sir"

Well see who it is this time,' said
Gormly as the bell rang again.
Somes was back in a few minutes
IT'S the janitor, sir. He says the

halls filled with people asking to see

1t is hard to believe that coffee will

tells her own story:
81 did not believe coffee caused my

even If it took my life, but / was a
miserable sufferer from heart trouble
and nervous prostration for four years.

for anything. Was emaciated and had
a constant pain around my heart until

time.
Frequently / had nervous chills and
the least excitement would drive sleep
away. and any little noise would up
set me terribly. l was gradually get
ting worse until finally one day, 1t
came over me, and l asked myself
what is the use of being sick all the
time and buying medicine so that /
can indulge myself in coffee?
$50 I thought I would see If could
quit drinking coffee, and got some
Postum to help me quit. / made 1t
strictly according to directions, and
I want to Tell you that change was the
greatest step in my life. 1t was easy
to quit coffee because 1 had the
Postum which / like better than I
liked the old coffee. One by one the
old troubles left, until now am in
splendid health, nerves steady, heart
all right, and the pain all gone. Never
have any more nervous chills, don't
take any medicine, can do all my
Homework, and have done great
deal besides.

serving of his simple breakfast. 1t
was ready for him when he entered
the dining room. Somes was there
in attendance as usual. A pile of
morning papers lay on the buffet
Gormly made step toward them; but
checked himself
Why" he thought, should | spoil
my breakfast by reading what the
newspapers have to say on the i'm
portant subject Of my confession? The
news will keep. Let me at least eat
in peace
BEG pardon, sir" began Somes
deferentially; "but aren't you going to
look over the papers, sir, before you
eat?'
mo, thank you, Somes. l can guess
pretty well what they will say"
But Somes was unusually per.
sistent as we'll as greatly agitated
He had been up early and had reac
every scrap in every paper.
Il hope you'll excuse me, Mr.. CORN
ly, sir" he began; "but l really think
it'll add to your appetite if you will
at least look over The Planet, sir"
Gormly shook his head and frowned
a little.
That will do, Somes!" he said
somewhat shortly. 81 will see the pa
pers later"
After this somewhat peremptory re-
mark, the man naturally subsidized,
though his interest and excitement
were plainly visible in his nervous
movements. He was usually the most
delightfully."- cool and imperturbable of
attendants.
You mustn't take this thing so
greatly to heart, Somes." said Gormly

GETTING Into Hard Soil.

In raising a good crop it must be
conceded that traction farming is far
ahead of farming done with animal
power. 1t is a we'll known fact and all
agricultural authorities agree that
deep blowing and the packing Of the
subsoil produce a better crop than is
possible with the ordinary method Of
shallow blowing.
It is almost an impossibility to plow
deep with horses and the common
horse pillow because the entire outfit
is too light to get down into hard
soil On the other hand, an engine
is heavy and strong enough to secure
good results. At the same time it is
far cheaper, to plow with an engine
than it is to plow with horses.

When to Call the Doctor.

When to summon the doctor is a
point which has probably puzzled most
people at one time or another, but in
the case of throat and intestinal
troubles there should be no uncertain
ty, says medical authority. The doc
tor should be summoned at once, for
the sore throat may be diphtheria, and
the intestinal symptoms may mean
peritonitis, appendicitis or any one of
a dozen complications of serious char
acter. Valuable time and the golden
opportunity may be wasted by wait
ing for symptoms that are severe
enough to justify calling the doctor.

You see these women are going

however bad they are, there's always

women still. And l guess l mustve
touched the soft spot in her somehow
or other; for she told me the truth.
At any rate she confessed the whole
thing to me, and she said furthermore
than when them two was goin' south

died, and that Fordyce got off his
horse and she mounted 1t, and he
walked hisself hangln' to the saddle

but on the morning before election
day he slept until an unprecedentedly

with the strain of the campaign, any

There was ordinarily nothing much to
be done on the next day, the Monday
preceding election day. One final
meeting was scheduled for Monday
night and that was all.

he woke up. He was soon bathed and

Necessity for TESTING Seed.

Good seed corn is the key to get.
ting good stands of corn. A good
stand of corn is necessary to secure
good yields. Owing to the wet fall
of 1911 there is now much doubtful
seed corn in the country.
One cannot afford to plant corn any
year, much less this year, without
testing. The s1ngle-ear method OF
testing seed corn Is the only prac
tical method.
