What He Noticed.

The extent to which the modern
child is educated in matters of n.y.
giene appears from a recent episode
in a Boston school:
The class had visited the art mu-
scum and the teacher wished to learn
what the children had observed and
how they were impressed. The SUBJ
ject at the moment was the exquisite
head of Aphrodite, one of the chief
treasures of the museum. A little boy
who frantically waved his hand was
called upon. He announced triumph
antly:
Il noticed she had adenoids!"
why Peter" exclaimed the
shocked teacher, what do you mean ?"
"She keeps her mouth open all the
time" was the reply-Youth's Com
panion.

SPEAKS FOR ITSELF ~
Experience of a Southern Man,

"Please allow me to thank the origf-
nator of Postum, which in my case,
speaks for ITSELF" writes Fla. man.
Il formerly drank so much coffee
that my nervous system was almost a
wreck" (Tea is just as injurious be-
cause it contains caffeine, the drug
found in coffee.) "My physician told
me to quit drinking it but | had to
have something, so tried Postum.
ITO my great surprise | saw quite
change in my nerves In about 10
days. That was year ago and now
my nerves are steady and don't have
those bilious sick headaches which I
regularly had while drinking coffee.
Postum seems to have body-build-
ing properties and leaves the head
clear. And | do not have the bad
taste in my mouth when l get up morn
ings. When Postum is boiled good
and strong, it is far better in taste
than coffee. My advice to coffee drink
ers is to try Postum and be con-
vinced."
Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Creek, Mich. Write for copy Of the
little book, "The Road to MELVILLE"
Postum comes in two forms:
Regular Postum-must be well
boiled.
Instant Postum is soluble powder.
A teaspoonful dissolves quickly in
cup of hot water and, with cream and
sugar, makes delicious beverage
instantly. Grocers sell both kinds.
There's a reason" for Postum.

Hope and Disappointment.

Lieutenant Thomas Holton, COM
mander of the Scorpion, made as
though to place the dispatch in his
pocket, then, taking pity upon his sec
ond," who was all eyes, he turned the
paper over to his junior lieutenant,
known throughout the flotilla as Bob
by Frost.
you will leave Newport News at

This order was warmly welcomed by
Holton and by his second in command
of the grim, lead-colored Scorpion.
ct looks like business, doesn't it?"
observed Frost, with tentative inflec-
ton in his voice.
1T does, sure,'' chuckled Holton.

might as we'll have the war-heads fixed
on the torpedoes, too. The orders say

will you, Frost?"
Aye, aye, sir" and Frost hurried
along the grimy, oily deck to the after
companionway.

the dialogue between the two will be
forgiven by the, fastidious when it is
pointed out that for a month the Scor-

panion aboard ship in that time had
been his young second But the period
of loneliness was evidently to end in
a burst of glory and Lieutenant Holton
was truly thankful
In the preceding month the mighty
battle-ship Maine had wallowed down
into the Shiny ooze of Havana Harbor
a great hole torn in her forward com
partments. In her lay one of Holton's
best friends. a shipmate of pleasant
days following graduation at the Nava
Academy. The cry, Remember the
Maine" was sounding from Maine
itself to California. The entire coun
try was on the qui vive. Osgood, the
hero of many an American football
gridiron, had, as a Cuban volunteer
given up his life at the side of ma
chine gun; Frederick Funston haC
served valiantly against the tyrants O
CASTLE and Aragon, and other Ameri
cans had given evidence that the fight
ing spirit was by no means dormant il

With the situation thus there wa
little cause for wonder at Lieutenan
Holton's emotions of mental exalta

there would be action, and that il

OLIVER POSEY DIES

Word has been received Of the
death of Oliver Posey, a former Rich
mond boy. in California. Mr.. Posey
and John Wingate of Milton left Ind

their majority.
Both were skilled at the carpenter
trade and made their first attempt to
achieve fortune by building a number
of houses in Nebraska upon the site
where they expected that a railway
make its terminus.
The town did not become the termi-
nus, however, and they lost their
stake. They repeated the same at

place and again lost out Undaunted

Colorado and in a few years had a
chain of stores and were on the high
tide to prosperity.

Mr.. Posey obtained a number OF
mining claims, one of which, the Tom
boy, yielded a fabulous amount of sill
yer. He married the daughter of a
Montana lumber king and took over
his interests after the death Of his
father-in-law few years after the
marriage
1t is understood that he made and
lost several fortunes during his ca.
