COFFEE THRESHED HER,
IS Long Years.

"For over fifteen years" writes a
patient, hopeful little Ills. woman,
while a coffee drinker, l suffered from
Spinal Irritation and Nervous trouble.
1 was treated by good physicians, but
did not get much relief.
Il v suspected that coffee might
be aggravating by condition. (Tea is
just as injurious, because it contains
caffeine, the same drug found in COT
fee.) l was down-hearted and dis
%couraged, but prayed daily that l
might find something to help me.
Several years ago, while at a
friends house l drank a cup of Post
UNI and though I had never tasted
anything mor delicious.
From that time on I used Postum
instead of coffee and soon began to
improve in health, so that now l can
walk half a dozen blocks or more with
ease, and do many other things that
never thought / would be able to do
again in this world.
my appetite is good, I sleep well
and find life is worth living. A lady
OF my acquaintance SAID she DID not
like Postum, it was SO weak and taste
less.
Il explained to her the difference
when it is made right-boiled accord
ing to directions. She was glad to
know this because coffee did not agree
with her. Now her folks say they
expect to use Postum the rest of their
lives" Name given upon request.
Read the little book, "The Road to
MELVILLE" In pkgs. There's a Rea-
son."
Postum now comes in concentrated,
powder form, called Instant Postum.
1t is prepared by stirring a level tea
spoonful in a cup of hot water, adding
sugar to taste, and enough cream to
bring the color to golden brown.

at the foot Of the stairs down which
she had fallen, Robert Simpson, 50
years old and helpless with a brok-
en- leg, was found in a starving condi-
ton with two gaunt dogs cycling him
hungrily.
Physicians at the hospital whittier
he was removed have slight hope Of
his recovery. The aged couple. who
were in comfortable circumstances,
lived alone.
Mrs. Simpson, who was 65 years
old, is believed to have plunged to
her death on Sunday, and since then
the aged man had been without food
or attention. When found by his
physician, DR.. James w. Hart, and
two policemen who broke down the
doors, Simpson was speechless from
exhaustion and starvation.

Temperate Humanity.

The driver of a brewery wagon
stopped at a restaurant where he de-
livered beer and prepared to water
his horses. He had filled a pail from
the street hydrant and was about to
offer it to the near horse when the
command Put that down" caused
him to drop the bucket with a splash.
Then a woman plunged a thermome-
ter into the water.
Too cold by several Degrees she
said. Get a pail of hot water from
the restaurant"
The driver mumbled What for?''
but he was awed by the woman's
commanding n and he fetched
the hot water as directed.
Now she said, pour some of
that cold water out and pour hot wa
ter into the pail until it registers
about 81 degrees. Then water your
horses. 1t is cruel to make a horse
drink water colder than that, and ev-

~ServiceabIe Pins

One of the new bowknot pins, set in
a jeweled rim, has a feature that
makes it useful. 1t is apparently a
black MORE ribbon framed in small
diamonds, but this ribbon, instead Of
being stationary, may be removed and
other colors substituted to match any
costume.
One pin of this sort is nearly three
inches long, and is worn to catch up
laces or drapery on the corsage or as
a hair ornament. Buckles for watch

This is the latest dictum of the
Treasury Department on the egret

heads, wings, tails, skins, or other
parts of skin OF wild birds when not
brought into the United States for

This prohibition does not apply to

the Treasury officials hold that the
importation of plumes and other
parts of wild birds is an absolute
prohibition and is applicable to these
things regardless of whethe.' bought
abroad or bought in the United
States and worn abroad. and that
none of the prohibited articles can
come into the country in any man
