The Mammoth Microhe.

THE microbe craze is good thing"
said DR.. Egbert R. Hewittson, the we'll
known histologist, at a dinner at At
lantic City.
Yes, the microbe craze is good
thing. 1t has cleaned up the world.
1t has put lot of diseases on the run.
But, at the same time, it has its hui
morous side.
Il frequently urge my little son to
have nothing to do with dogs or cats,
because they are full of microbes.
This morning, however, l came upon
him on the beach playing with stray
mongrel. But just as / came up he
quilted the mongrel hurriedly.
Papa he said, it's true about
dogs having microbes. A big black
microbe just jumped out of that dog s
coat and lighted on my hand"

three-year-old Thomas Inglesbry Will
lose the sight of both eyes. The in

The New Fable OF Everybody's Friend
and the Line 6ucker.

In a sequestered Dump lived two
Urchins, Edgar and Rufus. who went
to the Post with about an equal Handi-
cap.
They got away together down the
broad Avenue of Hope which leads one
Lad over the hills and far away to the
United States Senate Chamber and
guides another unerringly to the Fed
eral Pen near Leayenworth, Kansas.
When Edgar was Tootsey he re-
ceived a frequent busting with Ex-
IRENE Violet Talcum Powder and was
allowed to play with q flaxen-haired
Doll named Celeste.
About the same time, Rufus began
to take Cold Baths and was propped
up to look at Pictures of Napoleon and
John L. Sullivan and Sitting Bull.
At School each was a trifie Dumb.
IL Edgar fell down on an Exam, his
Relatives would call a Mass Meeting
to express Regrets and hang Grape all
over the Place.
II Rufus got balled up in his An
swers, his immediate Kin would pat
him on the Back and tell him he was
right and the Textbook was wrong.
Edgar would emerge from the
Feathers every morning to find his
Parents all lined up to wish him new
set OF Police Regulations.
They held up the Rigid Forefingei
and warned him that he was merely o
Grain of Dust and Weakling and q
poor Juvenile Mutt whose Mission in
Life was to Lie Down and Behave.
Rufus would be aroused each Sun
rise by full Military Band Of sc
Pieces playing "IIail to the Chief who
IN Triumph Advances"
Between the Buckwheats and the
Sorghum, the two Family Boosters
would slip him the pleasing Informa
ton that never since the Morning Stars
pulled their first Harmonies had there
bounded into the Arena another such
Prodigy of Intellectual Brilliancy anc
Physical Valor.
Consequently when Rufus hit the
Fresh Air, with the McGuffey under
the Arm, he wore his Chest about 6

There's good deal Of satisfaction

continued use Of it so affected his
stomach that he could scarcely eat at
times.

dizziness, and If / drank coffee for
breakfast would taste it all day and
usually go to bed with headache.
One day father brought home a.
pkg. of Postum recommended by our
grocer. Mother made it according to
directions on the box and it just 'hit
the spot" It has a dark, seal-brown,
color, changing to golden brown when
cream is added, and snappy taste
similar to mild, high-grade coffee, and
We found that its continued use speed
lily put an end to all our coffee ills.
That was at least ten years ago
and Postum has, from that day to
this, been a standing order of fathers
grocery bill.
When / married, my husband was
a great coffee drinker. although he
admitted that it hurt him. When I
| mentioned Postum he said he did not
like the taste of it. told him I
could make it taste all right. He
smiled and said, try it. The result
was success, he won't have any
