DREADED TO EAT.
A Quaker Couples Experience.

How many persons dread to eat
their meals, although actually hungry
nearly all the time!
Nature never 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 hurry, swallow our
food very much as we shovel coal into
the furnace, and our sense 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.

Ny husband and / have been sick
sna nervous for Is or 20 years from
sinking coffee-feverish, indigestion,
totally unfit, good part of the time,
for work or pleasure. We actually
dreaded to eat our meals. (Tea is
just as injurious, because it contains
caffeine, the same drug found in cof-
fee.)
we 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. 1 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 our friends
who have been made sick and nervous

Midnight and the relaxation of SLIM
Der could subtract nothing from the
high-browed dignity of the club off,
Gals, and the message that was wait.

in the most correct manner. 'Mr.

quests Mr.. Van Camp to look after the

Very well, thank you," replied
Aleck, rather absent-mindedly. He was
unable to see, Immediately, just what
change in his own plans this sudden
turn Of Jim's would cause; and he was
for the moment too deeply preoccu.
pied with his own personal affairs to
speculate much about it. His thoughts
went back to the events of the eve
ming, recalled the picture of his Di-
ana and her teasing ways, and dwelt
especially upon the honest. friendly
wholly bewitching look that had flown
to him at the end of the evening. Alb
surd as his own attempt at declara-
ton had been. he somehow felt that
he himself was not absurd in Melanie's
syes, though he was far from certain
whether she was inclined to marry
him
Aleck, en- his part, had not come to
his decision suddenly or impuls:vely;
nor, having arrived there. was he to
be turned from it easily. True as It

"Oh, no, not fair" shouted Jones
Madame Reynier's always on my

Madame Reynier smiled inscrutably.
I'm always on the side of virtue in

That's me. then, isn't it? The way

was discontentedfy lounging about the
door. she did a pretty thing. Turn
ing from the door, she stood with face
averted from everybody except Van
Camp, and for an instant her eyes met
his in friendly, half-humorous but
wholly non-committal glance. His
eyes held hers in look that was like
an embrace.

quietly.
Van Camp said goodnight to Jones
at the corner, after they had walked
together ia silence for half a block.
Goodnight, Van Camp" said Jones;
then he added cordially: by the way,
I'm going back next week in my pri-
waite car to watch the opening of the

you'd go along Anything else to dor"
Thanks extremely; but I'm going

James Jesse ctrane Really Was
Crowned and Had Dominion With
in the United States.

There frequently appears along
Chestnut street a professional beggar
who claims to be Henry Strang, a son
of Americas only king. His tale is
greeted as huge joke, yet the story
he tells is true, the only part of 1t
concerning which there may be any
doubt being his own connection
with it.
The Kingdom he refers to was once
set up on Beaver island, in northern
Lake Michigan, and flourished for
some years. James Jesse Strang. u
prominent Mormon. had quarreled
with the leaders of his church, and in
