Why He CHANGED His Mind.

John L. Sullivan met with some
amusing incidents while giving boxing
lessons.
One day a husky young man came
to him as a pupil. He took his boxing
lesson and went home somewhat the
worse for wear.
When he came for his second lesson
he said: Mr.. Sullivan, 1t was my
idea to learn enough about boxing
from you to give a certain young gen.
tleman a good licking. I've had it in
for him a good while. But I've changed
my mind. If you have no objections
I'll send this young man down here
to You to take the rest of nay lessons
for me."-Pittsburg Chronicle-Tele-

suffer From plague Of Rats.

A pied piper of Hamerlin' is need
ed at Santa Paula. Cal. Thousands of
rats, and all big wood rats, have in.
vaded the place, and the situation is
such that women are afraid to go to
church. The rats seem to have a
preference for churches and on several
occasions have forced the feminine
attendance at services to take to the
high benches. The city authorities
are seeking means to abate the pest.
The rats are believed to have been
driven out of the woods by recent fires
in the forests.

his tongue was examined, his heart

DREADED TO EAT.
A Quaker Couples Experience.

How many persons dread to eat
their meals, although actually hungry
nearly all the time!
Nature intended this should
be so, for we are given a thing called
appetite that should guide us as to
what the system needs at any time
and can digest.
But we get in a hurry, swallow our
food very much as we shovel coal into
the furnace, and our ems Of appetite
becomes unnatural and perverted.
Then we eat the wrong kind of food
or eat too much, and there you are
Indigestion and its accompanying mis-
cries.
A Phila. lady said:
MY husband and I have been sick
and nervous for 15 or 20 years from
drinking cofee-feverish, indigestion,
totally unfit, a good part of the time,
for work or pleasure. We actually
dreaded to eat our meals. (Tea is
just as Injurious. because 1t contains
caffeine, the same drug found in cof-
fee.)
I'VE tried doctors and patent medi-
cines that counted up into hundreds
of dollars, with little If any benefit.
Accidentally, a small package Of
Postum came into my hands. I made
some according to directions, with
surprising results. We both liked it
and have not used any coffee since.
"The dull feeling after meals has
left us and we feel better every way.
We are SO well satisfied with Postum
that we recommend it to u friends
who have been made sick and nervous
and miserable by coffee" Name CIV

New York.-President Taft presided
at what he styled his own wake" He
made the funeral ora ton over his po-
litical corpse; asked modest praise for
his deeds while he lived in the White
House; recited at length the causes
that led to his "demise"-and attacked
the enemies he held responsible for
his taking off.
The President did this in speaking
at the Republican "Reorganization"
dinner given at the Waldcrf-Astoria
to more than a thousand Republicans
from all over the country. He spoke
fer more than an hour. His defense Of
his administration was the legislative
results it had produced. His reply to
personal criticism was that he had
been more misunderstood than blame
worthy. His attack upon his political
opponents-confined almost exclusive
ly to the Prosressives-was not bitter.
but sorrowful.
In spite of all the misrepresentation
the unrest, the present-day desire for
change, the President said he saw in
the future a return to the old ideas of
government, the awakening of the peo.
pie to an understanding that social
changes must be made slowly and
with sure steps. He closed with an
appeal to Republicans who left the
party to return and join hands with
the millions who remained faithful.
