The Effect Of Coffee on Highly Organ

nervous that at the least noise | was

Tea is Just as injurious, because 1t
contains caffeine, the same drug found
In coffee.
my physician told me ! must not
eat any heavy or strong food, and or
dered a diet, giving me some medi.
cine. I followed directions carefully,
but kept on using coffee and did not
get any better.
Last winter my husband, who was
away on business, had Postum served

came home he brought some with him

Monroe, Wis.-"When my baby was
six weeks old there came a rash on
his face which finally spread until 1t
got nearly all over his body. 1t form
ed a crust on his head, hair fell out
and the itch was terrible. When he
would scratch the crust, the water
would ooze out in big drops. On face
and body it was in a dry form and
would scale off. He was in great mis-
cry and at nights / would lie awake
holding his hands 80 that he could not
scratch and disfigure himself. tried
simple remedies at first, then got
medicine, but 1t did no good,
Finally a friend suggested Cuticura
Remedies, so I sent for a sample to
see what they would do, when to my
surprise after a few applications l
could see an Improvement, and he
would rest better. l bought a box Of
Cuticura Ointment and a cake Of Cuti-

CROW IS FRIEND OF FARMER
Biological Survey Discovers That
Birds Devour Insects Injurious
to Man.

Washington.-The biological survey,
a branch of the department of agri-
culture, which studies the problems of
what animals and birds are beneficial
and what detrimental to the welfare
of man, has just been looking into
the case of the crow. The farmer has
long accused this meddlesome bird of
doing him much damage through pull
ing up his corn. The biological sur
vey found, upon examination, that
there we're extenuating circumstances.
The stomachs of hundreds of crows
were examined that the diet of the
crow might be definitely determined.
In some Of these stomachs sprouting
corn was found. In some the eggs OF
other birds indicated that the crow
was a robber of its fellows. For each
grain of corn or bird egg, however,
the Investigators found that there had

He demands that he be recognized as
a little "grownup." Several days ago
the teacher planned to instruct her
pupils in dancing "the Butterfly" A
~five-year-old girl who is small for her
age, and just a tritle stouter than u
hero, but an adept at dancing, was
assigned as his partner. He gazed at
her in silence. Then he took hold
of her hand and, with his mouth set
firmly, walked straight over to the
teacher.

me a bigger girl?" he asked.-Indian-

OLD BILL GOOD, SHE THOUGHT
Negro Woman Puts It in Circulation,
Believing Mr.. Wilson's Election
Restored Its Value.

Raleigh, N. C.-The Goldsboro nes
groes cleared up a counterfeit mys-
terry in the federal court Of Goldsboro
when a woman confessed that she
started a Confederate bill to circulat-
ing under the belief that Woodrow
Wilson's election restored the money
Of her masters.
The case reached federal court when
a hotel bell boy made demand upon
Will Love, negro, for the ten dollars
which Love received when the Con-
federate note was changed.
Love refused to pay back good
money and was arrested by United
States Deputy Marshal Smith. The
bellboy had made an effort TO get the
money from a drug store, when he
| was told the bill was worthless. On
trial Love, who passed the bill testi-
fed that a woman had given him the
money, declaring 1t good under the
present administration.
The woman confessed her part in 1t,
restored the ten good dollars and said
she had found the Confederate note.
The commissioner thinks the woman
received her inspiration from the per
verted promises of Wilson campaign
ers In the fall.

FLOWERS IN THE HOUSEHOLD
Snapshot Of Quiet Domestic Scene
When Rivals Fought for the
Control Of Mexico.

To make flowers last a week or
more, four things are necessary. First,
do not try to arrange them the mo-
ment you get them, but put them in a
pail Of water for a few hours, so that
every stem will be under water up to
the flower. Second, cleanse the vase
thoroughly before putting in the flow
ers and change the water every day.
Third, the cooler you keep the flowers
the longer they will last. If you are
too busy in the morning to enjoy them
or have to go out for the afternoon, do
not leave them in the living room, for
they are not used to such a tempera-
ture. Every night put the vase in a
cool place, or better still, plunge the
stems up to the flowers in a pail OF
water. Fourth, cut about a quarter of
an inch off each stem in the morning.
1t is more trouble to do this under
water, but it pays. If you cut the
stems in the ordinary way air bubbles
get into the stems and impede the TAX
ing in of water.-Delineator.

NEW SCHOOL IS A MODEL
New York Now In Possession Of Pub
lie Institution TO Accom-
modate $500.

New York@The worlds most up-to-
date school is now a part of New
York's educational system as a result
of the opening here of the city's new
est high school, which at the same
time is one that In the opinion of IA
nous educators, marks the beginning
Of a new educational epoch.
This unique school will be larger
than any except a few OF the great
universities, having accommodations
for $500 pupils and 22S instructors.
Its curriculum will include many
branches of practical training on a
scale not hitherto attempted.
For example, there is a seven-room
furnished apartment, in which the stu
dents of domestic science can strug-
gle with the problems of ~housekeep-
ing under actual conditions, and a
model banking institution in which the
future leaders of high finance can
master its intricacies in a manner
never before possible.
Then there is a garment factory
with many sewing rooms IN Wnlcn
management and other details of the
garment trade will be taught, a book
binding plant In which pupils may
take a complete course in this indus
try, a miniature ZOO" for the study
of animal life and a roof conservatory
in which horticultural knowledge may
be gained in regular classes.
While vocational training is provid
ed for in many ways hitherto unat
tempted, the care of the physical vel
fare and recreation of the students
has been provided for along line:
equally unique. For these purposes
the new school contains a theater will
a seating capacity of 1900, in which
histrionic ability may be encouraged
