AS GREEK UNDERSTANDS 1T
Students Rendering Of shakespearean
Phrase Somewhat Literal, But
He Had the Idea.

A young Greek merchant of Wash
ington, who has been taking lessons In
English from private tutor, has so
far advanced that his teacher recently
introduced him to the beauties-and
perplexities--of Shakespeare. He was
instructed to read passage several
times until he had the Ideas firmly
fixed in his mind and then, closing the
book, to put these ideas into his own
English, following as closely as his
memory permitted the authors text.
He had read over soliloquy OF
Othello's several times and was re-
producing the Moor's somber thoughts
with pretty fair approximation to the
poets words, but when he reached the
last line: Farewell, Othello's occupa-
TONS gonel" he stopped short, utterly
at loss. The original phrasing had
quite escaped him. However, he had
grasped the idea, for after few seq
onds Of frowning perplexity his brow
cleared.
"Ah, hat eetl" he exclaimed. "Eet
es this: so long! Othello's lost bees

Many People Deceived by Coffee.

We like to defend our indulgencies
and habits even though we may BIO
convinced of their actual harmfulness.
A man can convince himself that
whiskey is good for him on a cold
morning, or beer on a hot summer day
when he wants the whiskey or beer.
It's the same with coffee. Thou
sands of people suffer headache and
nervousness year after year but try to
persuade themselves the cause is not
coffee-because they like coffee.
while yet a child commenced
using coffee and continued It," writes
a Wis. man, until was a regular
coffee fiend. drank It every morning
and in consequence had a binding
headache nearly every afternoon.
my folks thought 1t was coffee that
allied me, but liked 1t and would not
admit 1t was the cause of my trouble,
so stuck to coffee and the headaches
stuck to me.
Finally, the folks stopped buying
coffee and brought home some Postum.
They made 1t right directions on
pkg.) and told me to see what differ
ence II would make with my head, and
during that first week on Postum my
old affiiction did not bother me once.
From that day to this we have used
nothing but Postum in place Of coffee
headaches are a thing Of the past
and the whole family is in fine health
Postum looks good, smells good
tastes good, is good, and does good to
the whole body"
Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Creek, Mich. Read "The Road to Well
>ville," in pkgs.
Postum now comes In two forms:
Regular Postum-must be wei
boiled.
Instant Postum-is a soluble pow
der. A teaspoonful dissolves quickly
In a cup OF hot water and. with cream
and sugar, makes a delicious beverages
Instantly. Grocers sell both kinds.

Grip Patients Grateful to Peruna, the
Expeetorant Tonic.


DO not make the error of regarding
grip as an exaggerated cold. There
is a big difference between the two.
Grip is an epidemic disease that poll
sons the vital organs. When a per-
son has grip, the air passages are
alive with millions of bacilli poison
ing the blood. The infected person
feels tired and exhausted.
Peruna is q Tonic Laxative.
II requires a good tonic laxative to
keep the body OF the patient es strong
ss possible to counterfeit the effect OF
the poisons created by the grip bacil-
1us. An expectorant tonic with some
laxative qualities Is the safest REM
edy. Such is Peruna- Beware es~
pecially OF coal tar powders or tablets
because they lessen the vitality Of the
patient.
There is no specific for the grip.
Peruna has been used with good
success In former grip epldemics. In
dications point to the return OF grip
this winter.
Do not fail to read the experiences
OF former grip patients with Peruna-
Mrs. Gentry Gates. s21O First Ave-,

Enjoy Being Miserable.

There are people so pitiably consti-

rich in the power to be miserable"
Some people are never happy unless
they are miserable and make others

cialty.
