EYE STRAIN
Relieved by Quitting Coffee.

Many cases Of defective vision are
caused by the habitual use Of coffee.
It is said that in Arabia where cot.

A N. ]. woman writes to the point
concerning eye trouble and coffee.
She says:
MY son was for years troubled with
his eyes. He tried several kinds Of
glasses without relief. The optician
said there was a defect in his eyes
which was hard to reach.
He used to drink coffee. as we all
did. and finally quit It and began to
use Postum. That was three years
ago and he has not had to wear
glasses and has had no trouble with
his eyes since.
Il was always fond Of tea and coffee
and finally became 50 nervous l could
hardly sit still long enough to eat q
meal. My heart was in such q con-
dition thought l might die at any
time.
Medicine did not give me relief
and l was almost desperate. It was
about this time we decided to quit cot.
fee and use Postum, and have used 1t
ever since. l am in perfect health.
No trouble now with my heart and
never felt better in my life.
Postum has been a great blessing
to US all, particularly to my son and
myself"

+ion that is requisite in street car travel
in many cities of Europe and Of the

In Dresden each Of the eighteen car

A MONG the famous tapestry rae
~ tories of the world is the royal
establishment at Madrid, founded
in 1920 by Philip V. The tapestries
and carpets turned out by this concern
rival In some respects the French
Gobelins. They are made after the
cartoons of Goya, preserved at the Es-
eurial and the Pardo.
In one room are kept the yarns.
Those intended for carpets are loosely
twisted into strings as large as the
little finger, and are of every color
and shade. Those intended for the
tapestries are as fine as Shetland
wool
In the room where the wool is card
ed may be seen many women, sitting
on the floor. some spinning. others
carding from hand reels. In the next
room are manufactured the carpets.
The warp is stretched from great roll
lers and reaches from moor TO moor:
Men, women and children are here at
work, taking the coarse yarn. passing
1t over and under two threads OF the
warp, tying it in a knot and cutting
it off with scissors. Ends an inch long
are left. and these make the Pile OF
the carpet The foreman has charge
of the pattern. and by 1t directs every
change of color. These carpets are
made in one piece.
The process of making the tapestries
is similar to that employed in the
manufacture of the carpets The
threads, however. are exceedingly fine.
The workers are all seated behind the
warp. and with the fine yarn on bob
bins weave in and out over every
thread. No worker sees the pattern.
but follows blindly the directions OF
the foreman, who is responsible for
the presence of the right color in the
right place; A faint outline Of the the
warp. but the workman's duty is to
weave in the color and nothing more.
The foreman inspects the work and di-
reefs where each thread shall begin
and end.
Not a few of these tapestries are the
work of a lifetime and bring enor-
nous prices. Some of them are
copies of the finest pictures of the old
ma sters.
In one room of the factory women
and girls are at work mending worn
and moth-eaten tapestries. The fabric
is fastened to = table with small brass
ticks: the worn i,a!ts are then cut
